I just saw the closed thread regarding client lists. What the hell? Keeping lists of numbers and data and notes is foolish.
I don't keep info, period. I try to remember my boyfriends as best I can.
Leaving a trail of data is what causes trouble. Why even keep it?
I am just left scratching my head, wondering....
Be safe, y'all. Peace and Love,

Everyone getting upset about someone else having the business contacts, but in no way concerned about the total breach of security to all of those clients by keeping all the records. And just haphazardly passing them around.
I don't know either of these women, but I can assure you, I never will.
It is pretty insane. I just popped in and read all that and all I got focused on was the words client list. WTF- My shit need not be on any data base, shared with friends, etc.... Sorry Roxanne but if that's how you do business the ladies you handle are now considered DNS by the hometown crew.
Agreed.
Luckily I don't do bitter old drunk ladies so I know I'm not currently or ever to be on Maxxeens list.
Huge breach of client trust. So how would providers feel about hobbyist have a list that we share with our friends or keep on a data base etc....
As a client I see who I want, when I want and belong to no one.

Yes correct a MOD such as Space, since I trust him and my phone recored have MY real world info on it as well. If that was all it took to solve a stupid "she said/she said" then fine! However it would be MY phones and I do NOT use MY phones for my side business. One is MY hobby phone as a provider.I do not have a phone I use for screening/booking. They have their own.
I am guessing you would be in SHOCK to find out how much "IN" the middle the MODS actually get.
Please do not put words in my mouth stating, I don't realize how bad of an idea it is. I never offered to show them to just anyone. Those who know me, have seen me or have delt with me KNOW that I don't hand out personal information. A MOD was a suggestion. I have no need to prove myself on anything anymore.

It doesn't matter if it's a mod, that kind of stuff shouldn't be shown to anyone. Not ever. Mods aren't infallible and trusted by everyone.

Just putting all that out there.
