Just Curious about possible glitch in viewing Regina › Escort & Massage Reviews

[rtkink]

This is just something trivial I noticed, when I open up the Perb main forum page,
sometimes I forget to login, and other times I just feel it necessary when just reading.
I noticed when not logged in, most of the "Escort Review" sections for the locations are
readable. But when I scroll down, the " Regina › Escort & Massage Reviews" area is marked
"private" and can't view anything at all. But all the review sections for the rest of the locations
are easily readable when not logged in. (I am not complaining, its just an observancy).
Don't know whether its just a glitch or it was intentional to have it that way.

Its a remnant from past times.

In the days when there were much fewer prairie review headings in the forums (Saskatchewan, Manitoba (Winnipeg) and Calgary and Edmonton), the Saskatchewan forum (perhaps others as well) was `protected` by being rendered unviewable unless you were logged in (and thus, had legitimately registered). When the new format split the areas into myriad subdivisions, the shield descended onto the Regina reviews forum (along with a buncha old reviews that belonged in the Saskatoon section) but slipped off the rest of the Saskatchewan area.

I have not seen an official version, but the general scuttlebut was that this was an attempt to keep out casual lookey-loos (eg: spouses, law enforcement). This is not uncommon in forums like this, but I never heard the reason it was just Saskatchewan (at least for quite a few years). Of course, registering a user handle is no major block to anyone sufficiently determined (eg: Saskatoon Vice), and anyone who has followed eg: a browser history to https://perb.cc has a pretty good idea of what is going on in these forums. Also kinda a pain to logon just to see your local reviews.

So who knows whether the `glitch` is just an overlooked remnant from the old forum divisions or?

Thanks sbill. When I come to think about it, when I first signed up to Perb here, back in 2007, I was living in Saskatchewan. (I grew up there).
I had previously read some good things about Sydney in toon town, so I spent some time with her. I came to Perb to write a good review about
her and had to register to do that. But I can't remember if I read any reviews about her on here or elsewhere, before I went to see her.
Recently when I noticed that "private", I was scrolling down the main forum list on my way to the bdsm section, just noticing by chance, so I
clicked on it and became aware I had no access to the content. Then after I logged in, no problem. Its no big deal for me, as I live in Edmonton,
but I got to thinking, if any non-members are seeking reviews on SP's for that area, it presents a barrier.
