I get the 2 reference requirement. However, for the sake of discussion, At what point would you consider a hobbyist history on this board as being sufficient. It would seem to me that a simple inquiry in the "Powder Room," a quick look at the ladies that he has visited, a search of his number on the black list sites, etc. would go a long way towards verifying someone. I will never give out any personal info. Truth be told, I hate having to ask a provider if she is willing to give me a reference so that I can see someone else.

As much as I appreciate the 2 reference system, it does have some serious flaws. Hypothetically, if a gentleman were to visit two newbie friendly providers who merely speak to their prospective gentleman callers on the phone to get a "feel" for them before an appointment, then do you really have someone who has been screened? Not in my book. So if the ladies out there aren't doing employment screening of newbies, then ANYONE looking for an in to our community has a rather easy one.
Not all references are created equal. While I always reply to every reference request, I do not accept all references. If I don't know a lady or I have knowledge that a ladies' screening methodology is lacking, then I request additional references or employment screening.
I go out of my way to make sure that the references that I verify are solid and reputable, so that both the ladies and the gents can count on me to do my part in keeping them safe.
