this is crazy

can someone explain this policy to me again

why do some girls have a no review policy????

here is a classic example of the general perb users needing to know to stay away from certain girls and not get ripped off by "hack" sp's

This is debated all the time on TERB and MERB. The no-review policy means that all reviews, positive, negative or neutral are removed. The mods have stated on the other boards that they need a good reason for granting no-review status to a SP, but I have no idea what a good reason would be, other than a personal safety issue such as problems with stalkers. The mods claim that it can't be used just to avoid negative reviews.

The no-mention policy re the local SP is the only one I've ever heard of.

I generally don't agree with no-review policies either, with the exception of ladies who don't advertise publicly. But let's face it, the board's owner can do whatever he wants.

Avery makes a very good point. Being on the no review list means that ALL reviews would be removed.

One very good example of being on the list is simple discretion and security in private lives. Most sp's have loved ones who do not know what they do. They may know that she is in the adult industry, they may know that she "models", they may know that she works at an mp doing "massage", they may know that she works as an "escort" unaware that fs is part of that deal.

If an sp's SO, mother, father, child or other loved one were to come across this site and read some of these things, lives could be devastated.

It is a very difficult profession to balance with "real life".

I think if an sp chooses to be a part of that list, it should be understood that it is in her best interest for the reasons I indicated above and not to hide from bad L/A/S and ripoffs etc... For those that are hiding from being a ripoff etc... they will surely be exposed through pm's eventually. In theory (when theory works) the ripoffs will not have the opiton of being on the no review list for lack of a good reason.

The good ones, even without reviews, will be rememebered (if they once were reviewed) or acknowlegded as good providers.

Just my 2 cents, as an sp who has a great deal to protect at home and recognizes the value of the list, with not one bad review to date.

p.s. Thanks ModWest also for your intel.

I always believed a sp should not have to be reviewed,because "Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder"or (YMMV)(PERB TALK").I was poked fun at when I did not want to be reviewed.It really invaded my privacy.It is a review board...and the modwest are really good at respecting my views...It is a policy...I think that if someones is curious it should be done in discretion. ;) MHO...but then it goes against being reviewed :confused:"PS.What about Human Rights" would be my answer to not wanting to be reviewed..

I don't have a big problem with the no review policy, although I do think it can be subject to abuse.

What I have greater difficulty is when girls that put themselves on the no review list, then play on the board all the time. If they aren't paid advertisers, they still participate in the various discussions on the board and generate a fair bit of goodwill for their business through that mechanism.

Can you be on the no review list and be a paid advertiser? I'm not sure but I suspect so. In which case you use the board to advertise but won't subject yourself to the board's scrutiny. That seems wrong to me.

If girls want to be on the no review list, then they should be off the board completely.

Just my .02

Thanks for your post, Tom. I meant to say pretty much what you said, but the real world interrupted this fantasy world before I could.

The privacy issue is a bit of a tough one, but I can't see it being that much of an issue if the lady in question already has a web page with photos (with her face not shown) and her description. It's also understood that reviewers are violating board rules by posting personal identifying information. That doesn't just mean real names (if known) and addresses; it also means specific desciptions of tattoos, piercings, scars, etc. that could be unique to that lady. For example, a few years ago, there was a lady working at a local MP/incall who had a religious symbol branded (like a cattle beast) on her arm. It would have been totally inappropriate to describe it, or probably even mention it all.

The only way a SO or family member could identify an escort from a review would be from a link to a photo on a web site (they could find it anyway), or from excessively detailed desrriptions of the body markings I mentioned above. That is, of course, unless the lady is dumb enough to tell a family member her working name in the adult industry.

buyer beware

My only point is this board is no longer a buyer beware website

When it was originally put in place years ago that was the idea

1 . If a girl is good - we need to know

2. If she will create a living hell for you - once again we need to know

3. if she is going to tug on your hog for 15 minutes and leave and charge you for an hour ......I need to know

I do agree with Chantal the YMMV etc but we all have to admit that their are some crackpots in Winnipeg and in other cities and the new guys that are coming into this business need to know about them.

And as well on the other hand some diamonds have surfaced through this site like Willow. None of us would have known about her without a site like Perb.

That's it ..... I am done

If an SP on the list is reviewed the Mods will pull it and send a PM explaining why. There's no public list since that would in effect defeat the purpose of the list.

ModWest
I think that there SHOULD be a public list for SP's that are on the no-review list - Only if they also advertise publicly elsewhere. If they're advertising elsewhere, then there are obviously no privacy concerns.

For example, if there is an SP who has their picture and advertisement on Escorts-Canada, and they are on the no-review list on Perb, it should stand to reason that it should be publicly known that they are on the no-review list. Otherwise, this debate will happen every single time a review is posted and pulled.

On the other hand, if an SP does not advertise anywhere at all (ie: she may be a stripper who is breaking rules and doing this on the side) and she's on the no-review list, then her name should NOT be public, since she doesn't advertise herself anywhere as an SP.

In the end,people need to know who to avoid,paid advertisers or not,thats where the no review policy falls short,it shows the site just catters to those who are paid up,defeating the whole purpose of it!

Well put Westwoody

At least tell us who is on the no review list, we can then make an informed choice. INHO no review, no visit.

It my money and time and I would like the opinion of a few of the more respected members of this board before I spend $$ or more.

What about the right of a customer not to get ripped off?

There's a lot of girls who are well known to be con artists and ripoffs. If I get scammed out of a couple of hundred bucks I have a right to be mad. "Oh well, YMMV" just does not cut it. If someone is a liar or a theif they deserve to be exposed.

If I need my car repaired, why shouldn't I be able ask my friends their opinion of different mechanics? If a specific shop has a reputation for buggering up repairs I'd like to know before I put down my money.
Well said, Westwoody.
For me, I would not even consider an seeing SP with no reviews. If someone elects not to be reviewed, I always have the feeling that they are hiding something.

Wow,

Whole lot of messages about she who shall not be named. They always say, any advertising is good advertising as long as they spell your name right. And a certain someone is getting a lot of free advertising without even mentioning her name. Thank God she doesn't know my name, who knows what someone could do with that....

Winnipeg's only VIP listed escort can't be reviewed here. How much can the VIP listing be worth? And why does she need it, shouldn't "everyman's dream escort" be able to stand out from the crowd with just a regular ad?

Personally, I don't need a bad review to tell me to avoid an SP. I need a good review to get me to try an SP. Why take a chance when there are so many positively reviewed ladies discussed on this board everyday?

I'm not a "Diamond in the rough" miner, nor do I TOFTT very often, 'cept mainly at mp's, and even then, I look for ones that I've read good things about.

So, I'll not worry about who's bad and who to avoid, I'll listen to who's good, and who I should visit. Much safer and easier...

Fair enough, but for those of us who don't rape, beat up or rip off, getting a bad lay that isn't our type is precisely what we're trying to avoid. Reviews from trusted sources help us do that.

The other function that reviews serve is to help complete strangers form a community of like-minded individuals who trust each other and share useful information. Once a pooner has established himself as a reliable and credible reviewer, he becomes part of the group that shares information behind the scenes via PM's and e-mails. Most of the information shared that way never gets posted in the public forums of the boards. One example of many would be naming a lady who claims publicly to provide CBJ only, but actually provides BBBJ to some repeat clients. Another example would be identifying a "new" SP listed on E-C who used to work at an MP under a different handle. Or, it could be identifying ladies at EB/TO who provide FS. We only share that information with fellow pooners we've come to trust via reviews.

That's why we need reviews! Keep them coming!

I have to be honest also, I prefer to not be reviewed for the reason that every experience is different and chemistry is different so theres no guarantee that it will be the same with every person. One guy comes on here says I gave the best rim job in canada, all of a sudden ten guys wanna have me lick their butthole just like i did that beautiful, clean,annally manicured god of a client who just happened to review me on a fantastic mutually enjoyable call. I think not.

hypothetically speaking of course.
