dames4u I understand your frustration and I agree with you in some points, like mentioning about ID requirement before adding a Profile and that they someone got their emotions to control their mind and in the result taking a wrong decision by deleting your complete account. I have also experienced similar situation, and not just once, and not just with one web resource(won't name them, since the thread is not about them). And I don't think the decision was made by the owner, but just by a regular employee, who was hired to do administration of the profiles. I think if you would contact Tom, and explain him what happened, there would be some solution to this problem, which would benefit both of you.
NR is a very nice project, which has a good future. It became popular in some of the metro areas, and I think you have checked their SERP(search engine results page) positions that do generate traffic(I can tell you that from my experience, otherwise we would not spend a penny there, neither our time). I don't know if you operate somewhere else besides Pittsburgh, and if you are, you should already know, that there are main web resources in each city, where majority of hobbyists go, and there are others(websites) that are trying to get established. NR could be less known in (lets say) Texas cities and ECCIE could be the main web resource in Texas. But if you compare NR, ECCIE, EROS, TER etc in Indianapolis or Detroit, then you will see, that they are the leaders there. Also, there is difference in the budget of hobbyist, who visits the websites I named. NR members can afford providers rates from 250 to 400/per hour. So, this is another reason, why advertising there makes sense.
NR needs some adjustments to be done, and I`m sure it will happen, but as every new project, it needs time, money and your feedback. This I can tell you from my experience, because I`m a Web Business Developer myself, and run many online business at a time. Remember EROS 10 years ago, or take for example Windows 95. Compare Windows then and now. I`m sure, the first version of Windows was all in bugs and errors. Now it is running smoothly and it is more secure. Or even take yourself as an example. I`m sure, that being in the industry for years, you can proudly say, that your business improved a lot, comparing when you were first introduced to it. You learned many new things, you have changed some ways of handling it, and again it required: time, money and your clients feedback.
I'm told I have to create a profile for every girl (we're an agency)
Either admin explained wrong about agency profile, or you didn't understand him. Because you definitely can post a profile for your organization in general, having pictures of your ladies featuring on it. But I think you need to verify their ages, if they look young or you listed their age in a range between 18 and 24. I have these numbers, because we were also asked to provide ID's to prove ladies age, and we were never asked to provide ID's of providers when stated age was over 25. I`m 99% sure, they would not request an ID for providers who look close to their 30's and age listed is over 25.
I don't agree with you that they should not ask for ID's for ladies who look very young. Places who do not verify age of young ladies advertising on their website, will put in danger first of all young ladies, who can be underage victims. And second of all, they would put their business in danger, advertising such individuals.(I think you also verify providers Ids to make sure they are in their legal age, otherwise you would put your business in danger) You mentioned having a “stellar reputation” and not doing any “stupid shit like deal with underage”, but how they can be sure in that? City Girls also has a good reputation in many cities through US, but we still abide everyone's rules(if that doesn't conflict our rules) if advertising websites requires us to provide them with ID of the providers. Sites, that require age verification will last long in the business. The ones that do not require, will be gone soon(backpage for example). Wait 1 or 2 more years it will be gone like craigslist. Now, the only one question arises, is how they handle this information(ID copies). Will they share it with 3rd parties? It also doesn't state nowhere on NR website. For example EROS do say on their website, that they voluntarily work with Law Enforcement in Criminal Investigations. If it is only about underage, then I completely agree with them. But they don't specify it.
He then says that well that's the policy and its' been a "huge success."
I believe him.
Its like the same 3-4 ads recycled every day. Doesn't look "successful" to me. He obviously didn't like my comments because he said that now he was going to have to delete my entire profile because the girls "look young to him."
I don't agree with him deleting your entire profile, but do agree, if girls look young, there is a need to proof their age.
Meanwhile a healthy percentage of the providers on NR are massage parlors, ya know the kind that's notorious for human trafficking, slavery, etc. Apparently they don't need to provide proof of age, proof of citizenship etc.
I`m sure they also need to provide the ID. They didn't ask you about proof of citizenship, so probably it is not required. I don't know any of the websites around, who requires to prove Citizenship or even residency.
So I'm not sure what Naughty Review's business plan is but I'm guessing its going to remain fairly marginal. I know I'm sorry I wasted any time on it, especially since the profile/ads on Naughty Review didn't generate any significant new business anyway.
Business plan is probably still in beta condition, and not complete and logical from every point, but it will be set once, and again it will require: time, money and your feedback.
And of course, you as an advertiser, have a right to make a decision where you should advertise, and if your rules are suitable to their rules.
Good luck! And let's keep this community safe.
