When dealing with board violations and issuing infractions, the protocol normally is to handle everything behind the scenes. In this case, due to the seriousness of the fake alert posted by the lady in public, we share some basics with the members of the board.

tatianna angel reported this review on 03/22/2012 @ 2:29 p.m. She accused him of being a stalker and trying to bring her down. Due to the nature of her charges, I sent her a PM, letting her know it was a case of "he said" at that point, and that she could post a rebuttal in Coed. I quoted this specific guideline to her, without the highlights:
#24 - Disputed reviews will not be removed by staff unless the request is made by the thread starter. In situations such as this, the proper protocol for addressing a review in question is to post a rebuttal to the review in that city forum's coed discussions area. Staff will be happy to do some basic investigation to confirm the validity of such reviews, however removal will only take place when requested by the thread-starter or in extreme cases where it has been proven false, there is an admission by the reviewer that the review is indeed false, or the reviewer failed to cooperate with staff's efforts to confirm validity. In cases where a reviewer is found to have posted a review of a session which did not take place, or posted blatantly false information within a review, the reviewer will be subject to disciplinary action at the discretion of staff, which could lead to loss of posting privileges. Along those same lines, if the reviewed party is found to be making false or inaccurate claims to staff in an attempt to trigger staff action against a reviewer or the removal of a review, that party will also be subject to consequences, up to or including temporary or permanent loss of account access. These measures exist to preserve the integrity of the information posted in our review forums, and will be taken when these circumstances exist.
I don't know if she read my PM before or after she posted the alert on the reviewer, but when she replied to my message, she accused him of assaulting her during the session. She also said he was dangerous and that this encounter was the "most traumatizing experience ever" in her experience as a provider. According to her story, he also threatened to do everything to ruin her. After reading her reply, I decided I couldn't just
"sit on this one" and let it unfold. I reached out to Gina@preferred411 to see if she could offer any valuable information to help with the investigation. It is important to state once again that Gina has ZERO tolerance for ladies who resort to posting fake alerts as retaliation over a negative review. She conducted her own investigation and shared her findings with me.

tatianna angel shared a series of messages through preferred411 (if you bring drama to the board and an investigation is initiated, messages with the parties in conflict become evidence), and they paint a different picture than what the lady has expressed here.

tatianna angel not only replies to his message letting her know about the review coming up, she affectionately calls him "sweetheart". She expresses how "she can't wait to see him again" and states how she enjoyed herself with him despite the circumstances of their meeting. All along, she ignores his chief complaint, which is her unprofessional behavior during the meeting. . In a nutshell, that is how she addresses him, during the several exchanges they shared.
After evaluating her duplicitous behavior, and her attempt to tarnish another member for sharing his experience with others, her membership is
temporarily suspended. We hope she takes this time out to reflect on her actions, and commit to changing for the better.
Ladies and gentlemen, some basic expectations need to be met for everyone to enjoy this hobby. When one party exhibits complete disregard for the other, things usually don't turn out well. As staff, we prefer not to get involved in this type of drama; given the circumstances created by the lady, we were left with no alternative. This thread is open for discussion. Keep it on topic and civil.
