Do Not Review???

[Puddlegurl]

Hello ladies and gents,

This thread is purely out of curiosity, In the past 3 years of being in and out of these review boards I've often noticed girls posting

"Please Do Not review"

My question is Why not? Privacy? To keep up a certain persona that might not be true?

Do you guys steer clear of those girls or see them at your own risk? Or find it even more intriguing not knowing much about them?

Not meaning to start trouble, just wondering what's the point of being on a review board if you don't want to be reviewed

Thanks in advance.

Keep up the reviews boys! :clap2:

I'm always suspicious. Why advertise or post on a review board and then opt out? Makes no sense and is frankly a little pretentious. I guess the mods are happy to accomodate those who pay the rent so to speak but why be here if you don't want reviews unless you're pretty sure they are all going to suck.

My feelings exactly, I will never ever see a girl with a no review policy. Of course three or four will get up on the soapbox and rail that SP's have every right to have a no review policy and they do. I also have the same right to take my hard earned donation where I please and a no review policy is a big red flad to me.

I can see why some SPs would not want to be reviewed. Some reviews are needlessly detailed or rude. Others are dismissed as shilling. Their relevance is questionable as each client can have a different experience. I have looked at the reviews but I consider them with caution and scepticism. I am interested in the women who have their own web site and are willing to share their opinions here. I decide for myself how a visit might work or has worked for me.

If I was going to post a review I would keep it general, make it clear that it was only my experience and avoid any reference to any activity that the woman had not already suggested in her advertising. That means, if she limits her offer to companionship without a menu (and anything that occurs is between consenting adults, etc. etc. American style) then a review should simply say whether or not you enjoyed the experience.

An exception of course would be any apparently deliberate ripoff.

I am of two minds on this issue.

First off, overly graphically detailed reviews do not benefit the SP since with every person it is a YMMV scenario. Some things are best kept between the SP and the client. I can see the SP's POV if they don't want a blow by blow account of the date

:eyebrows:

Where I have difficulty with the no review policy (as a client) is if the SP would only allow positive reviews and negative reviews were quickly binned because the paid advertiser wants it that way.

Read this as the "Steph" rule that happened last year.

If I had criticism that I thought might serve as "a learning experience for an SP" I expect I would send it to her personally before or rather than sending it to the board.

Personally i don't care if they are on a DNR list or not. The majority of SP i see have never been reviewed when i see them, and i tend to avoid SP with alot of positive reviews because they may be too popular, overworked, hard to reach, and so on.

Some guys avoid SP with no reviews because they are afraid of the unknown, to them i say grow some balls and take a chance.

Interesting point of view, thanks for the responces, I find it interesting knowing what each person's opinion of these boards are.
I do know a great number of men are "read only" . That seems to strike a cord with the "info sharing" guys. Do the men who don't review , not review because of the drama and bs that sometimes comes from it or just can't be bothered?

I take the reviews on this board with a grain of salt.I mean the person doing the review may not have the same tastes as me(no pun intended) & i've seen sps on this board that guys just raved about & they just didn't do it for me.Just as i've seen sps that where poorly reviewed that are some of my all time faves.

That was pretty funny lol. I would add also that if by this time they are capable of reading ads, websites and contacting the sp to find out more, including perhaps even building a good rapport, then it is pretty sad that they can't make a move without someone else telling them its OK. I would hope we are all adults here, and show at least a modicum of respect for the choices that all the sps have, as advertisers or business women, if they have, after sufficient experience and history on a review board have decided Do Not Review, then it isn't anyone's business to question or try to discredit the decision they have had to make for themselves.

I really dislike sps who try to cast doubt on other sp's motives for making choices and decisions that are clearly better for them, and to somehow make themselves look better in comparison. It isn't better or worse to be DNR or anti-DNR, it is simply a choice. Maybe the sp's who are DNR are being stalked or harrassed by a small group of idiots who remember what she did 5 years ago, and altho she has changed everything about her business, can't seem to let a review go by without posting some irrelevant nonsense about an incident that no one but them remembers, and has nothing to do with her business practises today.

Apparently reviews are outdated if they are more than 6 months old, as long as those reviews are good ones. If a review is a bad one, apparently it is timeless and nothing could possibly have changed lol.

Maybe they are DNR because they don't feel they should see comments in the review such as "no bbbj, she's off my list", or "too expensive, I can see 8 micro sps for one hour with her", or other crap which is apparently ok to post in reviews. Irrelevance is annoying. Maybe she doesn't think she should have to justify not listing menu items a la carte, or explaining her screening process or why she doesn't offer blo and goes or 15 minute quickies lol.

I don't see sp's with DNR's even if they have been well reviewed. I feel there is something dishonest about it. While I don't review every lady I see, but I like that option.

I understand your stand on the "timeless" bad reviews, GOOD POINT.......

However, As stated below, THIS THREAD IS PURELY OUT OF CURIOSITY, (not yelling, just making the statement stand out in this sentence) I do NOT think she meant it as a slight to other sp's, or tried to make herself look better, just because she doesn't mind being reviewed.

This IS a review board, and I myself, have also often wondered why a girl would advertise here, yet put a DNR on herself. If you are wanting to stay out of the "limelight" then there are ways of doing that too. BELIEVE ME, I HAVE ALSO HAD STALKER AND UNWANTED ATTENTION ISSUES, but reviews HELP MY BUSINESS.

I do appreciate that all of my reviewers have had the common sense to think about how the "tone" of their reviews may affect my future business, and have kept them tactful and classy.......EXACTLY the way I choose to market myself....... I think the two are often in DIRECT CORRELATION of one another. Thank You, and yes, please DO KEEP UP THE REVIEWS!! XO

There were some courtesans before in beautiful Vancouver who preferred to be under the radar and requested the gentlemen they saw not to write a review of their fun experiences but proved to be both stunning and amazing at the same time like Mercury Aradia.

.This IS a review board...

not necessarily. to you and i it is, but to many sp's it has two functions, reviews and advertising. and to other sp's it's not a review board at all, but a strictly advertising board. the reviews are something that happens on a part of the board they never visit, therefore in their minds it doesn't exist. most of the dnr types come from the third group
