Ladies, you already have a real time availability posting place. Just put it in your showcase.
Strangely enough, despite all the complaining, most ladies don't bother to put today's availability info there. Most don't even bother to put general availability info there, such as "M-F 8AM-6PM." Many who do list it don't bother to keep the info up to date.
I believe you can list your availability in your signature line. Mods, please correct me if I'm wrong. It's NOT listed as forbidden in the site rules announcement.
This will update your signature in all your existing posts.
Guys, put the ladies you're interested in into your buddies list. Then you'll at least know they're logged in in the list to the left side on the forums.
However, I wouldn't be opposed to some sort of short term availability thread. However, I don't have to police it either.
Maybe there are some other good ideas here. Perhaps a thread where ladies can post "I'm available today. Here are my hours."
One of the problems I have is ladies who post their weekly ad, maybe even list availability, but you have no idea whether they're feeling lazy don't want to work today, or if they're eager to work today, or if they're asleep, doing something else or otherwise impaired and not available. Or even if they're all booked up.
Presumably if the lady took the time to post in the thread, there's probably a good chance she might return your call.
There could even be some sort of additional software where the lady could check in and check off boxes for "I'm working today in Austin, Hours from x to y." Then the board software would show a clickable list of ladies who have checked in today for Austin. Maybe even color coded with "available now" or "available later in the day."
Make it so you have to log in and enter the information today, otherwise, some ladies would just list "I'm always available," even if they have no intention of working today.
We also have to realize that this isn't just up to the local mods. The board management has a say as well.
