How much is too much description in a review?

59 posts in this topic

What “Ilovewomen” new discription words say. yes I saw that in a review on one of my provider friends. I felt while that would be an awesome experience for the guy who loves an industrial size Hoover vac job? It was just a little over the top for my friends needs with a review.

After the change in laws, we saw ALL review detail disappear. Then, detail returned, but it has been very vanilla, with a few exceptions. It seems, now, that the mods are asking for more detail. 

We are witnessing the evolution of reviews, after recent legal changes. 

Hopefully, eventually, we'll get back to a review standard we all understand, and appreciate.

And remember...YMMV!

All I can add here is that of the few reviews I’ve written, all but the one have not made it to the TOB limelight. I’m not going to bother unless my lady friends ask me to. I’ll keep my compliments private, as it should be.

I didn't say they wanted porn script reviews, what I said was they wanted "more detail" from me.. In reply to someone else, who said they had the same response from a mod, you called bullshit. It's not bullshit. I don't know how much "detail" they want, because I'm never going to sink into porn script level reviews, but I did have to give "more details" before they approved the review.

And, if you go and look at some recent reviews posted on TOB, some do look like porn scripts.

Who is this I love women guy? Is he one of the Chiefs around here telling me to send him a p.m. or does he just think he's important?

I seriously doubt the mods told you to give more detail.

I call bullshit on your post.

Actually my first couple of reviews (before they disappeared) I had problems getting to pass because they kept getting declined for NOT having enough details..... I think it might be a new reviewer thing

I thought it was strange and felt like i was being singled out or something in a way seeing how the ones I was submitting was no different form others that had no info at all.... Also in the activities shared I would see plenty of just fs at the top and there was one I was denied because I needed to have more then just fs.... But that was before any of the changes and I was just starting to review (was even accused of being a possible self review of which that review was never accepted and was told I had to get references from the 3 ladies I reviewed at that time)

The problem is, once you get past obvious basics, it all becomes subjective and motive based. OK...easy set up, looked like her pictures, and location was acceptable. After that, generally, info on DFK, French translation, DATY availability, "favorite number", and Greek Island trips are the big question marks. Now comes the problems. Could that info be considered an L.E issue? Yeah. Could it be YMMV? Yeah. Could those things be not available and the lady wants to hide that? Yeah. Could it be unimportant to some guys? Yeah. Could some matter to guys while others don't? Yeah. Then you have utterly subjective info like "GFE" and "PSE". Too much info...not enough...who the hell knows.

"Too Much Information" is the amount of information that can be used in court to prosecute what is still illegal activity. (nope the "time and companionship disclaimer is moot when you put specifics in words.  Unfortunately, I've seen two cases (one recent) where this has happened; so what was once a valuable tool is now not worth the risk for some of us. (I knew people involved and the SW community it affected).

 We will see an evolution of this...and there are many other newer tools to determine if a companion might be a good match outside of that. If you are an acronym guy, it may be harder if that is your focus however.

I’m just curious how much would you say is saying too much? Personally I’ll always check with the provider before I list a specific's but I’m just wondering if there’s something that every time you read it it’s instant cringe or even anger. Where is the line between respecting the right to privacy and informing the people fairly?

Just curious not trying to start a whole controversy mostly just looking for opinions and insight. Btw gents I would recommend sending a review to your provider before posting just to check.

Reviews should always avoid the key words being scanned consistently by LE.

The mods told me" next time give more detail".

But I just like to give a yes if appropriate comfortable in call friendly Etc. I guess I'm kind of shy and don't like to say things like I sucked on her Kitty till her head started to cave in. Or I made her my little cream puff.

If I did that seems like it's kiss and tell

I believe you're thinking of Eccie.

With the recent onslaught of fake and scam ladies and the attendant flood of fake reviews it seems reasonable to me that the mods would ask for at least enough detail or info to be sure the visit actually happened and is not pure bs.  I do not envy them their job.  If anyone were to say they are asking for ECCIE/TER level detail I would join you in declaring bullshit (and hope that it was because I view TER reviews especially and ECCIE to lesser degree as mainly fictional crap.)  In the meantime Ilove I think you may need to have a snickers and get laid. ;)

If I could end every day like that I would be so fat and happy! :D

Well it's TRUE they have asked for more details. That being said if it's a fake review the reviewed can leave a rebuttal which will call that person out.

I always used the acronyms to discriminate between FS & FBSM, and then used the details to convey the flavor (PS, GFE, 3G, etc) of the session w/o writing a graphic porn novel.

You got a problem with porn novels:confused:

If you start writing like Laurell K. Hamilton, we are cutting you off!  :D

Personally, write about the contact(if it was timely and relatively easy, no personal details) If she/he looked like the lady/gent in the pic. How the place looked(if it was clean and ready. If activities were to your satisfaction and your requirements met, and if you would see again. Otherwise, no need to get all penthouse or romantic. We get it that she was "the best you ever had" or " she really knows how to twist her body like a pretzel", but that should be reserved for you two as YMMV for all.

xoxo,

Samantha Sheppard

YES^^^

I just want to know how things went, without the play-by-play. And, I won't write a play-by-play review. It's not gentlemanly.

No, I read plenty of porn. Check out storiesonline.  What I don’t want is for the porn to be read in court to support charges against one of our YL.

Great topic!  So many caveats to reviews given the change in 'board climate' this year.  Frankly i'm glad the reviews are more challenging now.  Before they got way to loose for everyone to see.  And if you read a lot of them up till earlier this year, they seemed to imply that it wasn't so much a 'date' as it was a 'pay for services arrangement' which might be misconstrued as illegal?!  Which we all know was so far from true.

Now it's a balance with some new variables and you have to mostly figure in what can be shared that keeps everyone here and the board url safe.  Listen to the mods, they keep the board safe.  Listen to your date, they'll let you know their comfort level in terms of revealing content boundaries.  And listen out here to what the guys are saying they want to see to make a smart dating choice.  And listen to your conscious, it will advise you on what content will help everyone stay safe and make smart choices.   

And speak your peace too when your on the site.  What people say in the public forum is great review material too.  Some of my smartest decisions about dating came from what i read in threads in the public forums.  Great way to tell if the lady may be right for you.

And most importantly, you have to take what's written in a review with a grain of salt EVERY time.  White knights, disgruntled johns, crazy towns, foggy memories, spite, hopeless romantics, married, single, older, younger, cares a lot for greek, cares little for daty, entitlement issues, hagglers, disrespect, self-reviewers, and on and on and on, ALL play into how a review takes its shape.  

Regardless, the fact that we are even having this chat is something to be immensely grateful for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Not too long ago all of these 'dating' communities went dark.  There were no reviews to read.  Imagine that state of 'affairs' forever and trying to date smartly:).  Me no likey...

Hobby safe everyone!
