We can't protect people from every eventuality that may arise in this hobby, or in every day life. Leaving the phone numbers off of reviews isn't going to help you when you get hit by the bus crossing the street tomorrow. We're in a risky hobby. We're in a risky world. The board does just fine in such an environment.

Don't change the board, change yourself to minimize your risk, or get out all together.

Anyone that can find a way to inject Occam's Razor into a thread on an SHMB gets my vote for:

The locale really doesn't need to be too specific in a review for me on whether I choose to see that lady. If I'm not feeling too lazy to get off my ass to trek on over I just get that info from her.

and i have to agree with u there again she wasn't a member here she posted on backpage but it was just another story with the intersection issue being a problem.



That was the one of the first questions I asked can i state location in reviews to be discreet i have et to get an answer

But what does "discreet" mean? I think we've been discreet with locations so far, and we've policed the ones who haven't been. What exactly do you want us to change? We can't give you an answer if we don't understand the question...

The theory of relativity should be pretty easy on an SHMB so don't go there.

"Peter's Corollary states that "in time, every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out their duties" and adds that "work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence". Managing upward is the concept of a subordinate finding ways to subtly "manage" superiors in order to limit the damage that they end up doing."

That's what we NCO's do with our officers...
all of this is based on anonymity. not even known places need exact locations listed. heck if the person reading the review cannot google a known place of business,,. then that is his/her lost. otherwise....discretion is a must. Yoyos need to learn what a PM is.

KISS (keep it simple stupid ) rule seems to apply in this context. Cut through the knot and bs and just give a general location as proposed. A general area is needed to make a decision on estimated drive time. It also avoids the problem of wasting everyones time trying to set up a meeting when you are in north Houston and she is in Galveston.

My 2 pesos worth R
I really had three. I just got some fixed yesterday. Thanks mods I owe ya a blow pop.
don't get me started doing research i'm up and i'm bored, so for SS i found 6 reviews that stated intersections, for LD i found 4 with intersections, and for Crissy i found 1............my question to the all the mods and the owner can anything be done about this? Originally Posted by Max Rax

Max in my opinion you've chosen a good measure to take. It's difficult from our end to control this, we can go back and edit it but as wakeup stated its hard to control what others do.

It will happen again there are some newbies that don't get it and Max you're newbie friendly so they will post the area you're working in.
Just continue to monitor your reviews and alert the mods to what should be posted but just remember the damage will be done once it'e posted even if the info is pulled from the review.
Mean People and Stupid People Suck.

Just sayin'.

Discretion is paramount for all involved.
