Real world information in reviews??

Wait wait...if our policy is to RTM reviews of registered massage therapists who use their license numbers in their ads so the mods can remove them, but removing them does no good as far as an Internet search goes, then what the fuck do you people want us to do?

You guys got three psychics in the back room somewhere to prevent the reviews from being posted in the first place?



You guys realize that every chick who posts in the "Therapeutic Massage" section isn't a registered massage therapist right?

The policy is there...best that can be done...

Answer me this lexus lover, how is a review by an anonymous person on eccie constitute enough proof of wrongdoing for the state of tx to revoke someone's lmt license?

Do you know of a case where this has actually happened?

And for once in your life can you please give me a straight comprehensible answer? Originally Posted by Sweet Discretion

Not to mention how many of these girls get fired. I personally draw the line as to who I review. I do not review any of the legit massage ladies I see, regardless if any thing above and beyond took place.

Thanks for giving me a sensible answer in the english language, which is alot more than I'd have expected from lexus lover.

For your info, there are several hundred reviews that have to be approved every day. If the staff is going to have to investigate each review before the membership sees them, it could be a while. And you can not set it up to only investigate a few. It would be all or nothing. Remember it is a volunteer staff .

So, how do you suggest this huge problem be taken care of ?

But now we have this thread as well to refer to and remind folks.

:-)

You drastically overestimate he intelligence of the average poster here on the board...

You could put a 100pt, bold, blink text warning on every post on every thread and these morons would still fuck it up...this thread is as irrelevant as any other thread posted on this board...

The end of this thread can be summed up in one sentence...

"If the stripper/licensed therapist/hooker doesn't want to possibly be fired/have their license revoked/be arrested then they shouldn't be doing illegal activities. If they are doing something illegal, this board can't take responsibility for the repercussions of that being published here in a review."

We done yet?

We got dumb motherfuckers still posting incomplete reviews and there's a "sticky" with examples on how to do it right in front of their faces.
You put too much stock in men who've just gotten their rocks off.

How the fuck do I RTM for excessive /s?
CB, help me! You're intimately
Familiar with this RTM process, to which I profess no knowledge.

The men in violation ? Let's just say theyre in need of more accolades than a single post might yield. The focus is (sadly) upon whether everyone has seen it.

LMFAO. I considered quoting wakeup's last post. But I already quoted the one before. so...

I am afraid that I agree with every line he wrote. I know. I know. But, when someone is right, they are right.

And we should be done with this now. Bet we aren't tho. lol

Yeah.... I am right in line with my fellow Mods here too.... Wakeup and Out_of_Bounds also make valid points.... We have a Sticky where NSNC's go.... Yet about every other week I'm moving them to the proper threads.... Pointing/bannings are not the answer either...... Usually when a guy posts one, it gets RTM'd, we remove it and warn the guy he never does it again..... But then there's the "Next" guy.......

Like said its a volunteer position and we catch what we can, when we can and after that we rely on the members to bring others items to our attention should we miss it or not be logged on.......

JaD

With all due respect, you are comparing where to post a thread with ...

... someone losing their license to work and their job, because a poster can't .....

...... help himself?

I still don't see any written rule that reviews of an LMT/RMT cannot be posted. Based on reality that is effectively outing someone ... with "real world" information.

Why is it so difficult to post a rule (and enforce it with points, vacations, and banning like many others) that prohibits reviews of LMT/RMT's period ....

.... irregardless of where they advertise or if they advertise at all?

When "our fun" starts destroying lives and livelihoods, we have gone too far, and are those advocating for doing so that self-centered and selfish?

ASPD had a flat out rule that reviews of LMT/RMT are not to be posted

I would like to see the same rule here too

While the example is given of a shop or LMT lady that posts ads

There are those LMTs that are completely Under The Radar without any ads

Any review is absolute poison

While the Mods can only do so much, this discussion might educate some knuckleheads from posting reviews

If you guys want the rules changed to not allow those kinds of reviews then you need to put in a request in the member suggestion forum not here with the local mods

The mods handle this situation to the best of their ability with the resources they have to do so...

Also I bet there's many a guy here that has a license to do his field of work that isn't dumb enough to put his license out there and then go do something that will violate those rules inthe open. They area advertising on BP for Christ sake. If one got caught doing something they weren't supposed to foot osnt the person that mentioned its fault, it's the one violating the rule that shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

Now the guy that put it out there that he was getting this or that that gets mad when she disappears because his dumbass wrote a review about it can only blame himself.

And dancers are violating the rules "in the open" .... I believe they have a "registration" process and their jobs are at stake.

#2: the RMT/LMT's that advertise in the therapeutic section of BP should not be lumped in with the "escorts" and "massage" advertisers in the adult fun section, because NONE of them (in the fun section) are providing any sort of identifying, state issued numbers with which their REAL identity can be ascertained and their address ... and have their "privilege" to do business revoked ...

#3: It's not my fault if I mention someone's REAL name on here who I recognized coming out of a provider's incall, because it was their fault for "doing it in the first place"? Or its not the RMT/LMT's fault for disclosing who are her/his customers because ... it was their fault for "doing it in the first place"? Is that the "rule"?

So the rule is?

We cannot "out" the groups selected by the mods, but ....

..... we can "out" the groups not protected by the mods?

And until a rule change is approved by the powers to be ....

.. it is open season on LMT/RMT's?

Outing is outing.

Giving out someone's legitimate business phone number gives everyone (including LE) all the information they need to identify the persons associated with that phone number .... most businesses have some sort of "certification" to do business that is a public record and available to internet access and it takes minutes to track down details of their person and lives..... marital status, birth dates, driver's license numbers, .. etc. ..... how does the screening on here go?

What's this "game" we play on here with screen names, acronyms, codes, passwords, blah, blah, blah?

"If one got caught doing something they weren't supposed to foot osnt the person that mentioned its fault, it's the one violating the rule that shouldn't be doing it in the first place." EA

That applies to everyone posting on here!

If anyone ever had a curiosity as to why I will not post any reviews there it is .... selective and disparate application of the principles that form the philosophical basis for the existence of the board.
