Reviews and References

39 posts in this topic

As I understand it, the system has kicked back a couple of reviews because the ladies had not provided me any references. Is my understanding correct that we are to ask for a reference before writing a review? Thanks.

I thought they monitored all posts...

They do, but only for disciplinary action. If you want a direct reply, then you need to ask them directly. See the “Contact Us” link at the bottom of the page?

I didn't "want" a direct reply.

New reviewers must obtain a reference from an established user before submitting a review.

We are requesting all reviewers obtain references whenever possible.

The mods would be the obvious knowledgeable people, who could answer your question. It just makes sense to ask them.

I've read the rules and don't see any mention of this one, which is fine. If so and because it's important the rest of us noobs know, there is no better place for it than the forums. I want to play by the rules, so please direct me to anything I missed.

Incidentally, asking "when did that start?" when I asked her to provide me the reference so I may review, the provider didn't know either and, despite no issues that I know of with the visit, hasn't provided it to me. Not that they have to by any means but, assuming she and/or others won't, how will other noobs establish themselves, know who's worth visiting and perhaps most importantly, who to stay away from?

To add, even with no references I imagine providers will feel more comfort seeing a hobbyist that is active one and two, having the ability to get a reference from those providers themselves.

That's not been my experience as a provider, and I'm only speaking for myself. I believed that when I was starting out on TOB until I had a couple guys that were active but complete assholes. I learned pretty fast the value of actually reaching out to multiple references and getting a feel for what the guy is actually like in his sessions with the ladies. How he treated them, was he a gentleman, would they actually recommend him as a client. There are hobbyists that rack up reviews/references from well established ladies, and then treat new providers like crap, push, boundaries, not respect their rules, etc.

It's not a rules issue. You asked a question and several members guided you to the best people to reach out to, to get the answer to your question. I'm not sure why you didnt find their comments helpful.

Yes, I would have gotten my answer had I done what they suggested, but how would the community know of this evidently new rule? I'm obviously not the only one getting reviews kicked back.

They would have followed the very 1st suggestion from megan and contacted a moderator. Seems simple enough to me. You asked, she answered, a thank you response maybe, and problem solved.

What's simple to me is this rule will affect the noobs' ability to establish themselves and your business as a result.

Well since your a "noob".... prior to you joining TOB.... there was a ridiculous influx of new "fly by night" providers using fake pics and providing poor companionship.... there was even fake profiles created to write reviews! The influx caused a huge amount of new reviews and no refs... The mods can run TOB as they please even with unlisted rules! They're here to protect themselves as well as protect the hobby community.... 

 

Let's try to not be so defensive on the forum.... we are a family here... and we were trying to help you! 

If you dont like the opinions of others... you can ignore them... or you can find another playground....😁

Nope. That just means the mods want you to see the ladies who are established so we can help weed out the fakes! 😁

 

Lots of established NEWBIE FRIENDLY ladies on the board!! Get on that horse and ride!!

That makes no sense! Most "established ladies" won't see noobs who now can't get established because no one knows they're not fakes! But, I'm done. Thanks for your "help".

Something's wrong with this guy. I'm not going to respond any further; maybe we should all do that.

As a noob, I encountered the same thing when I tried to write a review. No problem. I asked the provider for a reference, and when it was done, I  wrote the review. I've since asked for, and gotten references, and then wrote reviews. Yeah, it wasn't spelled out ahead of time that newbies needed references before writing a review, but geez, it's not a big deal, and I just did as requested. Pretty simple.

I'm glad it's working out for you, Guy. I'm sure the policy works really well for providers, who hold the cards.

You may want to start with this piece of the puzzle, it looks like clue in the shape of a red flag.Then add into the equation a negative and argumentative forum presence and you can bet that a lot of ladies are taking preemptive measures.Just an unbiased opinion from another perspective.

I would agree, and it is not hard to see these beautiful women if you dont act like an entitled jack wagon. A little respect for these ladies goes a long way. Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
