I liked your mr. bean avatar better matador.
I think responding to slanderous accusations is a waste of time, people believe what they wanna believe. I base my opinions solely on personal experience.
If someone posts false information about a Provider (BBFS for instance) I see nothing wrong with another Hobbyist alerting her re what's being said in the ROS portion of a review. This is about someone's livelihood and if she's being slandered in ROS I applaud whomever gave her a heads up. Originally Posted by txcwby6Actually this is another example of why verified providers should have access to ROS content. It is THEIR business and they should know what customers are saying about them, good, bad or indifferent. Had the OP had access to the ROS content, there would have been no need for Matador to involve himself in an investigation at all. Additionally, there would be no reason to suspect the OP of having illegal access because hey, guess what! It would be LEGAL. Legalize prostitution. Legalize pot. Legalize happy meal toys in San Francisco!

It was alleged by skirtchaser79411, and then followed by tatman49 in this thread:Do we need to prefix the activities with the letter "C" (e.g., CCG, CRCG, CDoggie, CMish, etc.) so folks reading the reviews will not falsely assume safe sex was not practiced?

The special circumstances: Those with PA will get a better picture of this:
On 04-21-2012, @01:54 PM skirtchaser79411 decided to chime in, with his actions being similar to this
Hey look here everyone. I am going to click on the private tags icon, but I will post my comment outside the brackets, so everyone can still read my post anyway. My post has nothing to do with the review, but I like getting attention, so I'm posting a toxic comment.
On 04-21-2012, @05:11 PM tatman49 decided to get involved in similar fashion:
Gee skirtchaser79411, I like your private tags style, and I'll do the same, so that everyone can read my post. I won't bother to talk about the review. Now that your toxic comment is on the internet, then it must be true, and I'll make my decisions based on your toxic comment.
04-21-2012, @10:48 PM I came across the PA content exposed due to inappropriate use of private tags. I went ahead and edited the Private tags and moved the content inside. As I got ready to save the changes I thought: Who is going to miss my comment in red letters if I skip it just this one time? I am not adding or removing content, just moving tags around anyway. Oops.
So there you have it. The comments were exposed for several hours for everyone to read, and because of those special circumstances, no evidence of any wrong doing can be found. We will not act on allegations or speculations on what happened here. It would be nice if everyone learned to properly use the Private tags, but I am a realist.

What can a provider do when serious allegations are made that are not true? Originally Posted by Just4HobbyThey can tell their side of the story! Maybe that's all they have, but it's surely worth something...and some people listen to both sides!
Actually this is another example of why verified providers should have access to ROS content. It is THEIR business and they should know what customers are saying about them, good, bad or indifferent.

Also, yes it would be great to see ROS. Not everyone's ROS - just my own. TER does that - I can read all of my reviews, see my own ratings. I can't see anyone else's and I don't get any other premium features.
This came in handy when an old client who wanted free TER time reviewed me on the day I was having surgery. He made it negative so (from his own words) "it didn't look like I was a fanboy". TER expected me to prove I was having surgery (they wanted and got a photo of my incision) which I did, and they removed the review.
Had I not been able to see their ROS*, I would have had no idea I had a 5/6 review with a lot of negative, untrue things inside.
*I could also buy premium access to see it, but I don't think that's an option here so that's moot. Originally Posted by Missy Mariposa
