Are all parts of a review necessary? Admin help

You know I realize that reviews are a necessary part of this hobby. However, certain aspects of them make me cringe. This morning I was reading another thread that inspired me to ask the question: Is there any way to remove either the Fee field or the Activities field, have either one or the other but not both? I know others feel the same way I do, and still others have DNR policies because of this and other reasons. I welcome your thoughts on this matter. Especially, would the mods, admins or someone in power address it? Thank you in advance.

I understand your concern, believe me. However, these are two of the most important fields I view before choosing to see a lady.

Under activities, it helps me to decide if we are compatible BCD. One of our main goals here, as I understand it, is to match people as close as possible, and the activities section clearly helps the matching process.

The fee is really important, at least to me. Some have unlimited funds for companionship; but I have limited funds for companionship. There are many ladies I would like to see (their activities are a match to mine), however, the cost of their time is clearly outside the affordability of my range. I don't even call them: it would be a waste of both our times. This line might also indicate a lady may currently be running a special which is important information.

I hate to compare this site to the legendary ASPD, but it appears to me that ladies are not advertising here as widely as they were at ASPD. Nor do they seem to be running specials as they did at ASPD. I could be wrong about that, but that is how it seems to me. Also, I understand that there may be a transition time during which this site will not equal ASPD until people understand that this one has, indeed, replaced ASPD as the Gold Standard.

I think a review without activities would not be a review at all.

The fee could be found elsewhere with some research but may as well be in the review.

Activities is the first place I look on a review, if they are not appealing I hit the back button and move on. My .02

Lace, I don't understand the issue that you and other providers have with these two areas. As stated in the previous posts they are very important to the hobbyist and every other board/review site I am a member of has this information posted within the review somewhere.

What is it that makes your cringe? Would you rather ECCIE make those areas TRS/BCD only? Why remove one and not the other if both are an issue?

I am just trying to get an idea of what would be offensive to our providers regarding this information.

both need to stay.
The information is important to the hobbyist.

CBJ is a no see for many clients.
Fee amount is a no brainer.

Roses or some other sign.

Even on P411- granted these are ads, not reviews, much the same info is contained on a lot of the ads:

HR, thank you for the clarification. I can see where the request is coming from after reading the referenced thread, guess we will see what the community decides.

As the name of the site explains Escort Client Community Information Exchange, those pieces of Information are vital for many male members to search for Strange.

If you don't list the fee and you don't list the activities, what good is this board?

Without activities, it's just an "ad". If you removed fee AND the lady had a consistent website to find her fees, that might work.

As an example, there are many providers on Eros that are great looking but there is no price. I look for an external link and there is none. I search for reviews and there is none. So I pass.

I can understand where you are coming from, some things do need to be in there, but not BOTH....leave the activities in and remove the fee. Most of us have a website or ads where that info is found readily. Probably 95% of the guys will say leave them both in, and quite a few ladies I would think would like one or the other removed....and some won't care. From now on though, I will probably mention if someone decides to do a review to please put something like 'as per ad', or check website, or something similar. Most times, if a guy is going to see you, they will see you. Kisses, and play nice...
