Real world information in reviews??

[Sensia]

Ok this post is generated in response to what I learned from this post: http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=511004

Please folks we need a civil, intelligent conversation and some solutions as well. I look to the moderators to please keep this post on topic.

If a licensed massage therapist advertises in the therapeutic massage section of Back page or craigslist this doesn't necessarily mean she is a provider. If a hobbyist sees a lady from such ad venues and gets "lucky" with a happy ending he should not post a review in my opinion especially if she has her real name or her real license ID in the ad, or even her phone number. There are two sites that can easily identify these ladies through a database if they really are licensed here in Texas. All you need is the phone number that is attached to their ad, that leads to their License ID. You can also look up a massage therapist via name. Even with a first name. The database will bring up a ton of information including home address.

In my opinion I think these type reviews should not be allowed because basically your publicly outing a gal. She may not even be aware of a site like this, she may not even be aware that their are these type databases.

Eccie has a strict "no real world" info policy so I think we need to be consistent with this.

I agree 100% Sensia. The policy should be that if the person is a licensed LMT then reviews should be off limits. Some of the fucktards on this board think just because they got lucky everyone needs to know about it and spreads the word. That is just wrong folks.

I thought that was the policy.

I agree. If a lady posts her LMT ID in her ad, she should never be reviewed.

It is..... RTM it and we will remove it. We do it all the time & when we pull it we let the Reviewer know why & that we do not post review on licenced ladies. No one wants any of these ladies to be in any type of danger of losing their licence..... They worked hard to get it. Information is a wonderful thing.... But not at that expense....

A licensed LMT should NEVER be reviewed unless she approves it and realizes what ECCIE is

The licensing authority don't need proof of anything they can administratively take the license away

The old site had a rule against any LMT reviews

One review and a person's livelihood is gone, do you want to be responsible for that?

Yes a review can be removed but by that time it is noticed, it is too late as the licensing authority has noticed it.

Well I am glad to hear, and honestly I think with a lot of these "newbie" hobbyists common sense and (along with sheer ignorance) tends to go out the window. We should sticky this in the review section or somewhere that they can see it should not be allowed. But I have no control over that, and only the mods have discretion as to what should be done and how to handle.

instifixer, you are absolutely correct the TLD does not need any real proof to pull a license of a lady or gentleman for that matter. They can do it and claim "its under investigation". If the lady has a real job somewhere then that gets her into trouble.

Policies.........

[DRSlut]

hornfreak, "Policies" being overlooked may be the only reason as to why you are still on this site.

just saying!!

[tikkler33]

There is another side to this, though. What if the licensed lady also posts in the Body Rubs section, or possibly even the Escorts section? I know of at least one lady who used to post in several sections. If she is openly advertising non-licensed services, is the rule the same?

[Sensia]

That is a great question. What I see as a current theme on this board is that the moderators and the owner do not want peoples real world info advertised. Case in point, busts that have happened and real world info is on the linked news reports and someone posts that here or in the alerts section. That will be removed very quickly by the mods.

A provider that posts in body rubs or escort sections shouldn't be linking their License or real name.

I have never used BP or those type advertising venues. So when I saw Lexuslovers post I was a bit alarmed that anyone would review a non provider (massage therapist) and she would have all that info very easily accessed and looked up.

I am going to take a closer look at the ads in the Therapeutic Sections but my question is should we allow reviews if a lady is dumb enough to place her real world info on there? Don't some of these licensed massage therapists actually put their real License ID on their ads? Don't they have to use ID with phone, real names etc in the Therapeutic section as opposed to the Body rubs and escort sections where this info isn't necessarily required?

These are all good questions. I just don't think it is wise to put a person in jeopardy like that especially if they are a novice and not really a provider.

But this is my opinion only for what it is worth.

Jad.... that does no good once it is posted. I have "googled" posts that have been changed, modified, or deleted and they are still "on the net" and searchable.

LE has "representatives" and officers who do nothing but internet scouting 24/7.

And where is that policy written ....?

"#5 - Outing or threats of outing are taken seriously. Membership here is anonymous and for the privacy of our members it will remain that way. That means any effort or attempt to connect a person's real world information to their username on this board will be dealt with swiftly and harshly. This includes real names, employment, medical info, addresses past or present, images, criminal or driving record, etc. We expect everyone who participates here to respect and go to great lengths to protect the anonymity and privacy of one another. Reckless disregard or accidental outing will also be taken very seriously."

No, we ain't "done here" .... RMT's are not mentioned.

But they sure are here ....

http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=507263

.. and with all due respect I saw no MOD jump in on that one.

Like I said ... if its a stripper's stage name mentioned it gets attention, ...

"Please use the *** in the name of the lady as to not compromise her employment at said establishments."

And then there is this:

" Reviews of LMTs are permitted. If LMTs wish to have a no-review policy they simply need to send us an email and make us aware."

Along with this:

"Of course, if some of you assholes would shut-up and not tell every gal who has a review(especially massage gals), that they have a review, we could all enjoy their services without getting lumped into the category of one of those "review board guys". I particularly like the bullshit dance that massage gals and their clients do: They pretend that we are the only ones they do this with, and we pretend like we are all appreciative and not gonna tell our buddies the details. The are massage therapists, not sex workers. Right? "

http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=31030

So, a hobbyist is an "asshole" if he tells a "gal" she is being reviewed! Don't tell them they are being "outed" so the boys can keep boinking them without them knowing that their identity is being released in reviews!

And how is the RMT/LMT supposed to ask for a no review policy if the "non-assholes" keep it a secret that they are being reviewed!

Again ... with all due respect ... where were, are, the MODS?

[Sensia]

Well I just looked at some ads and there are quite a few ladies who are licensed and some even put their actual license number in some of their ads. Not all do, but some do. I just think Lexus is right on this one folks.
