Posted December 13, 2022 There are a couple threads floating around the Forums about recently banned companions. What causes a companion to be banned? Verified stolen deposits? Has anyone ever complained to TOB admin about a companion and then seen her banned? If you reply, dont use any names. It would be interesting to have TOB admin reply about what can cause a ban - again with no names. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2022 Very sad, and because it is only an established companion who pays for ads and has a presence can add another lady to our community. And when that new lady makes a choice to not fallow the rules for whatever reason, keep in mind both ladies are booted off TOB if there is a problem. There are several ladies now who refuse to give reference to another because of that factor. I know @MeganMarie4u mentioned that she was reluctant to help because of the tremendous responsibility involved with getting another on TOB. 😢 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2022 If you use the wrong wording in your ad will get you banned. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2022 I didn’t know that new providers had to be sponsored to post adds, I think that’s a great idea and appreciate TOB for having this requirement. There are so many other platforms and the ads are so sketchy, I only seek services from TOB providers, and after knowing this even more so. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 19, 2022 Da Fuq? That makes sense as to why there very seldom anyone new on here… I don’t see this place getting larger, only smaller… 9 hours ago, Audrey Astor said: Ya…. That’s kind of what’s been happening over the years…..🙄 Anywho…. I’ve never known the mods to get involved in drama or business off of the board. If they had, the membership pool would be much smaller. I wish the guys had to go through a vetting and “how to behave in the hobby” course prior to joining.😂 Long story short, it could be breaking advertising rules like Kali said. True story…. Someone created a post outing me and my location. The post was removed, but that person is still here. I’m assuming you have to do something worse than that. Yeah, in my short time here, it’s been apparent that this is not a growing community… Kind of a shame actually. But I also understand the need for having a smaller community. Lol, I guess I’ll go to tinder… Kidding Keeping you all safe should be priority number one, hopefully that’s the case! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinda like pre=screening? A course on behavior for BOTH sides of this endeavor could be a great idea. IF the gents were vetted (pre-screened) It would be more like P411??? A course on punctuality would be a good idea too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 21, 2022 I have limited perspective given that I have rarely (2-3 times in the past 7 yrs) chosen Colorado companions from anywhere but TOB, but I am quite satisfied with the experience. Part of that is the work done by the admins to police the board and bounce any provider who crosses the line (wherever that means). Its kind of like sausage. You might not understand - or want to know - what goes into it, but the result is pleasing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 29, 2022 Lot’s of changes since Back Page went down and the new human trafficking laws got applied April of 2017 as a result of that. Then it was Covid that hit us all. For a while the reviews where going through without body content. Just kind of interesting how in a round about way even this world has become so regulated. Life is sure not getting easier. Money is tighter. Just makes us all feel uneasy. I love to read tarot Nine of wands is about waiting for the other shoe to drop. @sb1212 lips, tail, and other tasty parts 😉 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 26, 2023 There's new ladies joining everyday.... there's been a few welcome posts too! It obviously will never grow exponentially because it's mainly a Colorado board and most people don't know it exists. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 26, 2023 It is my understanding that new companions need the referral of an existing companion. Is this correct? How do they go about getting a referral? (Inquiring minds…) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Key words “good standing”. Clients are not vetted like providers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 27, 2023 To OP:. That's something I have wondered also. There was a particular ASP who I had seen a few times and would have gladly continued seeing, but she was banned & I still have no idea why. Hey ads were quite milquetoast, & no problems with references. She went dark after, so I can't ask her, & still wondering why the ban. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 28, 2023 It's a problem. Talked to a provider recently who isn't on TOB, she's known and established in the area, and can't get on here, because she can't be verified? I'm for curation, but clearly TOB needs to loosen up a little. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 29, 2023 If you know a companion and you feel sketchy because she is not on TOB?! That is ridiculous! Also, be what it may, If she was banned from TOB? That only shows she decided not to follow the rules. Nothing to do with her not being a good provider or dishonest. She is only a rebel for this particular website!!! Oh, my...how silly!!

They have every right to banned anyone on here .RIGHT OF OWNERSHIP! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) out of all the years I was working I wasn't very active on any forum until like a few years ago I think. having a presence on the forum can be difficult though cause of drama I never had problems with my ads but I did get banned from one forum for misconduct last year & it made me SO SAD because I LOVED participating in their forum! I thought they would at least let me off with a warning! they let me keep my ad up though probably cause they still wanted me for my money. I'll never make the same mistake again!
