Should BP reviews count for PA

Ok here is an example
...can you trust him?

As far as PA / ML access, that is a tough one. If you don't give it, what incentive do people have to mine sweep (I sure as hell ain't gonna do it). We also know how private the ML really is and if someone/anyone wants in, all they have to do is pay a little $ and they are in so you aren't keeping anything more secure by limiting access by denying access for BP reviews.

My $.02

I started on bp but had my first review done by a guy on eccie. you have to have reviews to even become a verified provider thru p411. So yes, EVERY review helps. This is our job so it is like rating a resturant, you arent going to go to the resturant if it has few or no rating. So i think bp reviews are awesome!

Bp girls could be anyone. A review on a bp girl that's not verified on any site doesn't help me in my screening process. When a guy only has reviews from girls on bp I won't see him.

This site is about information sharing. It is pretty silly to discourage sharing info about bp girls. This isn't some exclusive club, it is an escort information exchange. People can look down on both girls and the guys that see them, but their info is just as good as everyone else here.

Yes BP posts should count for PA. Hell, they should count extra. ECCIE girls have archived libraries of reviews. The only way I know if a BP girl is legit is if some other brave soul saw her and chose to tell us about her. If there was no PA for BP reviews, there would be fewer BP reviews, which just makes it harder to find women in this fucking city.

Imho, a review of an obscure BP provider can be of more value than the 100th review of an ECCIE verified provider.

Eventually a good mod should be able to sniff out the fishyness. Originally Posted by royamcr

Perhaps the way to do it would be your first review for PA needs to be of a verified provider on ECCIE. This would accomplish the goal but still encourage members to scout out new talent.

I guess I don't understand what requiring it to be an eccie girl (or p411) would prove. Instead of reviewing some obscure bp girl he could pick a girl who rarely logs in here and review her. Are we then going to require girls to verify reviews? Well there goes negative reviews.

What real problem is this discussion trying to resolve? Are we trying to maintain the integrity of the lounge? We all know that won't happen anyway because guys talk to the girls, guys work with the girls, and sometimes girls review themselves.

So is the target of this some random guy that wants to know what is going on so he lies about a bp girl?

The reviews on unknown BP girls by a known reviewer are more useful to me than a review of a well-known, "verified provider". I mean, duh, obviously she's good to go if she has 20 pages of yes reviews on here, lol.

Also, while I have had the good fortune of seeing several established ECCIE gals who require references, I'm usually more of a short notice kinda guy. Waiting for references to clear isn't always an option, so it's nice to find reviews on BP gals who might be a bit more accomodating on short notice.

Got to definitely agree with Chris on this statement, and KCQ eluded to it, as well... A good review of a BP gal, especially from a respected member, is a goldmine. Unfortunately, of late, not many nuggets have stuck around for one reason or another.

Sorry I'm a little late to the party, but I'll throw in my 2 cents.

We were all newbies once and if a bunch of roadblocks had been thrown up in front of us we wouldn't have joined and participated in this community. I don't see the sense in throwing up new ones to guys who just haven't found their way here yet. But we are only as good as our reputations here. Reviews from those who participate are worth more to me than those who don't participate as much. But even with those I use my best judgment, or try to anyway.

If we were to close off any area to those who are "verified" or "in good standing" or whatever else you want to come up with, I would close off this very Coed section. Who knows what we might end up talking about?

I believe reviews on all companionship dates should be allowed. And if eccie did not give PA to BP.. then what would be next no spas, strip clubs or others..

Going back to TER, the ladies on TER are verified by having reviews. The same as verified ladies on Eccie. Ladies, do not always join a review site. It may not be in her plans, but at any given moment she may change her mind. If a lady decides she wants to join Eccie, she has a few reviews under her belt. As a participant on this board it is each one of our responsibilities to screen. Male or female participant!

If a guy finds me on P411 he may write on any board that he wants, within reason. If it is a website I have not heard of I may want more information. I do not know why backpage ladies should be different.

I still think this discussion should be split into two parts.
Being able to read ROS goes with writing reviews.
But, Men's room access should be verified separately in some other fashion.

Any review of a lady that helps others make smart choices when it comes to hobbying safely, deserves credit imo...
