I am willing to move on, but really hold back with the bullshit. Sixx that is for you. I don't need the "times changes" bs. I am full aware at how the times change. In fact they change so much I have to adjust what I ask for. Thanks for the input y'all.

FGarvin, maybe you need to change your avatar glasses. My initial response was not harsh IMO. She told me what I said was BS so I replied in another post that she is the one with the bullshit.

Perhaps you should suggest it in the Member Suggestions and Feedback forum.

Went straight to the top with that one. Answer I got was its a MAN'S board. Who am I to argure. But I still feel the way I do!

You're allowed to post a reply in the coed forum. For instance, "My response to JoeBlow's review."

However, most ladies who decide to reply to a review muck it up and come off as a psycho, so be careful.

I think this is one of the things learned from long experience on ASPD. Having ladies able to post replies in the review threads turned into pissing contests far too often.

In that case, I apologize.

Indeed there is no white knighting going on. I am an amazing kick ass lady. And for those of you who have met me know this. Also, FGarvin has made some very valid points. You know I bet most of you who hide behind your computer only have the balls when a keyboard is at your fingertips.

Again this would be a better board perhaps if some of you were nicer to us. Really?? What kind of exchange is this? There are no other local boards that I have found, so I am here. And I want for us to have a good time. These stupid childish attacks from no where are not helping any of us.
Thanks again y'all...

There's your bottom line as far as this thread topic goes. Guys will simply stop posting honest reviews if they feel they are basically calling a provider out for confrontation.

While there have been some cases where mongers have posted false reviews when never having met a lady there are far more cases of a negative review turning out to be solid.
This has saved many a monger from a similar bad experience. Most of those reviews would not have been posted if providers were allowed to jump on the reviewer.

Instead of the review forum being a source of valuable information it would simply become another soap opera "He said she said" forum like Coed.

[PSW1995]

True that, I get that as well. But I wasn't bitchy about anything and wasn't going to start a pissing contest. That is not my style. I have great reviews. Even if I did get a bad one, oh well. There is no such thing as bad publicity. I will say this... I hate when people say "you paid too much". Who the hell gives anyone the right to deem what I am worth? I am sick of the whore mongers trying to tell others how to spend their money on services. To that I say shove it. I have digressed a bit here, but these are my complaints. Also don't apoligize for some bullshit someone else is spitting. I didn't bring any bullshit I asked a simple question and got a bunch of shit. It's alright, I see how it is. And since I am not going anywhere, lets keep having fun. Please keep any ungliness to yourself. Thanks!!

that is never going to happen, simply for the fact that is what this board is about..
sharing information whether said person likes it or not,..

I agree with you on pricing, consider yourself lucky that the Feds did not pass laws saying all Providers can only make X instead of Y or Z, because that is discrimination, regardless of the Service or menu you Provide.

Now when I could charge what I felt like charging and or felt comfortable charging, I hated when I got beat down on price, but at the end of the day, I can shit in one hand and want in the other and see which one fills up first,

[harkontume]

Yep.. your lucky they don't make your product in China!

Wait a minute .... they DO make your product in China!

Well it is just a matter of time then they will control all of the production in China.

sigh....

I just addressed that Exact question and situation two posts above you.

If someone is posting a fake review you call them out in the Coed section for ALL to see. Same with if you want to challenge the client's experience during the session however as GG stated earlier you do want to approach it correctly or you will generally look worse than before you posted it.

There are no pluses to a provider posting challenges in the review section but there sure are plenty of negatives.

Let's say I booked you and thought your BCD sucked big time.
Let's say I also knew you would come back with some petty fabricated accusation to challenge my experience.
I wouldn't bother posting a review and the other mongers would get screwed over by booking you as a result.

The purpose of the Review forum is to provide Mongers enough insight to make an informed decision. It is not a venue for pissed off providers to vent.
It is to benefit Mongers who don't like taking unnecessary risks. It is Not to book you up as a provider although that is very likely if the reviewer had a positive experience.

Fake reviewers should be outed in Coed or even Alerts if applicable where the provider is sure to reach a far wider audience including other providers as well IMO.

I can see why girls would like a chance to respond to a review, but let's keep in mind that this is a publicly available website. Responding to a review could be seen as confirmation that the girl did in fact accept money for sexual activities (it is not hard at all to match screen names with real people especially when you are publishing pictures). From a legal perspective, that's probably not a good idea. I haven't heard of Texas taking things that far, but there have been some prosecutions in other states solely based on on-line ads.

Let's be careful out there!

Good point

A Provider with pics and real world contact info confirming the exchange is pretty much a public confession.

Folks do tend to get a false sense of security in this tight knit but Extremely Public community.

Codybeast makes some good points.

Keep this in mind, a provider never responds well to a negative review. If a provider is playing by the rules, all she will see is a NO unless the title gives it away. There will be ROS controversy thrown in the mix too. Can a provider handle being told she doesn't look like her pics by the reviewer? Can she handle other mongers possibly agreeing? Can a provider keep her emotion in check with her responses and during the duration of a pissing match? It's very unlikely, we have seen it played out on the boards before.

A provider is a business. Do you see Best Buy corporate for example, argue with a customer in a forum? I know they are two different types of business but money is exchanged for services.

Providers responding to reviews disrupts the flow of information exchange. It is already difficult for mongers to post their true experiences. Imagine if they can be disputed. All parties end up looking bad in the end.

We also forget that this would be huge headache for the mods. It can be very time consuming to be a mod. Why add something not needed with no real benefit for all parties involved except those that are passing the popcorn while reading these forums (myself included).
