re-posted "what makes a good review board"

[lone ranger]

A review section with reviews only. No one would be allowed to reply in the review section. Once a review is posted it stays with the only exception shills.

If the mods decide it's a shill, instead of deleting it, post it in a shill section with an explanation why (posting her own review with a different handle). If someone believes a review is a shill they could also post in the shill section and explain why.

Those that agree or disagree with a review could post their own review or post comments in the lounge.

Regarding a no review list, I don't have a problem with it as long as the list is made public.

Any form of obvious harassment of SP or pooner is unacceptable.

I have heard that this board has a "No Review List" but it is not made public but when I asked about it in chat I was told that its BS and there is no such list.

Could a Mod or someone in the know answer it one way or the other and clear this up please?

Thanks in advance.

There is a "No Review List"and it was posted at one time ,but was taken down because of all the asshats The fact of it is,yes,it exsists,who's on it,I don't know anymore because I could give two shits as I'm retired

If you guys do alittle home work and do a search,it's pretty easy to figure out who is and who is not on it

Thanks for the answer dude, I'll do some poking around and see what i can find

The problem with this- is that it is wide open for abuse in the form of untrue negative reviews. And we all know that this has happened before and will again.

One lady told me one time that an extremely positive review of her was total bullshit- none of it happened beyond that she actually saw the guy. The reviewer posted it to get back at another SP.

I too have heard of way too many bitch fights and "pay back" fake reviews for one reason or another being posted by rival SP's or Pimps to hurt other SP's,,,,, think about it this way,,,,, how would any of us like a viscious lie, possibly very unflattering with personal details about our appearance/ body parts or demeanor/performance during sex posted on a board for an entire community to read and you arent allowed to defend yourself VIGOROUSLY? and now take it a step further and have it effect your INCOME and yet you are not allowed to stand up and challenge the lie with every factual detail at your disposal,,,,, and the reason you arent allowed to try and disprove the lie and defend yourself and your professional reputation?,,,,,, because the people who read it feel that they are capable of deciding if its true or not without hearing a word from you in your own defense,,,,,,and on top of that you are someone who PAYS to participate and advertise on the board that is saying you have no right to defend yourself from possible slander and lies,,,, GET REAL! I have seen most people on here go crazy and display considerable anger and emotion defending their particular political position! and if they dont think they have had a chance to explain their viewpoint from every angle and fully defend their position they will keep posting for days! on the same thread!!,,,,, go take a peek at the Al Sarqawi thread its one of the latest in a long line of political disagreements

Tell the political hacks that they can't reply if someone calls them a blind horses ass or misrepresents their viewpoint and watch the nuclear meltdown LOL! and most if not all of them don't even pay to be here

From what I have heard and (seen to a lesser extent) this can be a dirty business, let the ladies defend themselves when they feel its neccessary and let the Mods decide when enough is enough.

my 2cents

1. SPs cannot post in Review Section of Board or comment on a review anywhere else

Everyone has a right to directly respond, civilly, to statements made about themselves.

2. Discussion on reviews is limited to questions and answers not bashing the reviewer ("don't like the review", write your own would be the motto)

Thin skinned individuals may bristle at the idea of discussion, but the purpose of a review board is to inform. Bashing reviewers, flaming, or other uncivil conduct should not be tolerated, but that's a far cry from honest, frank discussion of a review.

The purpose of the reviews is to provide accurate information about providers and their services. That doesn't mean hijacking a thread by recounting a completely different encounter, but legitimate questions regarding a review are fair game. Does Jill really have a third nipple? Polite, rational discussion forms the basis for community "social intelligence," which improves the reliability of the reviews. Think of it as peer review for pooners.

4. No moderation (post removal) for anything other than obvious shills (smart people can figure out fake reviews and don't need "protection" from some big brother moderator)

Taking out the garbage keeps the place tidy. Not removing inflammatory or shill posts encourages those who post them to do so.

5. No ability to edit posts after 2 hours - if you post it, you better mean it

Who cares? If you say something incredibly dumb, you should be able to retract it after the hangover clears.

11. Hamster is allowed to stay on the board as long as he wants

Only if the Hamster's nailed to the board.

13. Any and all forms of lapdog behaviour will not be tolerated

Thought police are worse than suckups. Let the lapdogs be lapdogs.

I would add:
15. Don't take disagreement personally. Don't insist that people be barred from commenting on what you have to say, particularly if it is controversial.

16. Don't be afraid of posting a truthful review. Sticks and stones. Discussion without the potential for difference is empty.

17. Don't beat a dead horse. Expressing the same thought three or four times doesn't make it truer.

18. Refrain from putting words into other people's mouths.

19. Don't whine if your posts are canned for hostility.

20. Don't take yourself so seriously. You're a hamster.

3. No such thing as "No Review Lists" - you are out there, you may and likely will get reviewed...deal with it

If someone doesn't want to be reviewed, then they should pick a new way to make money.

Moderator, you are so right you make me sick. I've been saying the same thing for years that these so called no review SPs are tryin to have the cake and eat it too. The rest of the list is important but No. 3 has always been on the top of my list. Good job!

...Is it a time thing or a post count thing?..

Not necessarily either. I was just referring to your admitted lack of awareness of PM's and no-review policies, and also to your comments about no moderation. There have been many flame wars here that have required intervention by moderators, including deletion of threads and banning of members.

If you had been a member longer, you'd likely have been more aware of these things.

Now, how about a review?
