Rants, Raves and Opinions AKA "The Octagon"

Gone T M already covered much of the little things that I noticed as well.

I will say that there is one item that literally scares the hell out of me and that's the Facebook recommend button at the bottom of the ads. I use Facebook as I'm sure others here do as well and the last thing I want to do is accidentally click that recommend button and post a recommended link on my Facebook page for all my unbeknownst friends to see. I seen that button and I ran pretty fast. Maybe it doesn't do as I think it does but just thinking it does was enough to make me leave and write this message. I don't think any of the hobbyist want this near their Facebook account in any shape or form.

I wasn't supposed to be on and I forgot to ask them. I agree 100% FB and this is a bad idea.

[QUOTE=LuvdaLadys14;2144666]When a provider responds to a positive post / review posted by a monger. For one thing it lets other ladies feel comfortable in knowing you are legitimate. Anyone can post a review of a lady, favorable or otherwise, but is it legit or LEO trolling looking for verification? When a lady puts her rubber stamp on it, if you will, it at the very least lets other ladies know you are legitimate and perhaps a gentleman if she's inclined to wax poetically.

Just my. 02 worth.

Luv.[/QUOTE]Plus I don't know this is true for other ladies but, I have been told several times that is why someone has seen me! The way I interact with my clients by responding shows that I remember the dream we shared together! As sometimes people I have seen wait for a week or so before they post! As Luv said it makes the reference checks a lot less painful in the long run! A lot of girls don't do reference checks or take a week or longer to get back to you! So the answer back is a great way to get references in the end! Thank you to all the ladies that have given reference checks to me in the past week I really do appreciate you more then you know! We are a family in a way and should stick together!

Luv.[/QUOTE]I've had to Come to DEPEND on provider replies, not only due to the lack of referral communication but also because in the past I "use to have" a client that was a retired detective, he told me so myna little tricks they use, and one very favorite trick they used was writing great reviews, he claimed that because a great review is " good advertising " that most providers see so many clients they don't remember their name, he said long as you never make up any fake details about conversation, or claim and positions etc. That you can get trusted by others to give personal info out thru PM, he said they use old reviews like if a girl got BAD reviews they would write a bad review or reply to that one agreeing to back the guy up, he said everyone likes being backed up so just that would get a guy talking to him, if writing a good review he said they read old good reviews and if it mentions a hair style Change or location change they will mention that info as it's already been said, he also said no provider is stupid enough to get on here and dispute a GOOD REVIEW so usually they just add to the member post count to get closer to being a Senior member. Because of that info, I always look to see if the girl actually replied, and I see if it sounds like a generic response or if she really remembered him. This is important IMO.

XOXOXO.

Luv.[/QUOTE]That is exactly right and since when did being polite and thanking your partner of choice a wrong thing in my opinion manners are too few and too far maybe if people said thank you and your welcome more often people wouldn't be so worked up a thank you can go a long way.

XOXOXO.[/QUOTE]I never respond to a review unless I know for a fact I seen them and who they are. If a review goes up of me and I don't know who it is, I will pm and ask for specific detail.

[BLUE]To whoever is having fun clicking the Abuse/Report button on all the ads on the new site, it's taking you a lot more time to do that then it does for me to make it go away.

XOXOXO.[/QUOTE]Great discussion into the operations of these detectives. Thanks for the info. JG.

Happens all of the time on other sites. Ladies have them removed even if they are glowing and great. Writing reviews grants free premium membership on other sites, and cheapskates try to play the system. LE can write fake reviews, but their objective is to infiltrate and bust the community.

Is there a reason that almost all of the providers here who have sex multiple times a day for a living are NOT using birth control? Quite frankly, I'm dismayed by this commonality. Don't you know condoms can break? Please be safe in EVERY way, ladies!

Thanks for initiating this discussion. I agree with you. Right now, some advertisers don't even include a name in the body of their ads making it that much more challenging to determine who they are, what their review history / post-count might be, if they're trying to rebrand themselves due to a poor history connected to an old username, or if they're a genuine newbie that we should entertain taking on for the team, etc.

What do others think? Would be great to see the new USA Adult Classifieds get off to a great start based on user feedback.

[blue]As I've said before, the Russians are working on this. We can't pressure them because they hack our social media and turn us in TV's every time we try that. We are all more than a little afraid of them and the Kolektive as they call it.

[QUOTE=Mainstreet;2144889]I wish the classified section revealed the ladies screen name. I look at some of these new small pictures, if the lady doesn't post her name in the add it takes a minute or two to recognize her. I was just looking for one lady in particular and it took a few minutes to find her. I'm sure we will all get used to it.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=GoBig;2145557]I would have to say that I too find the sappy exchanges annoying. I would back this up a bit more if it weren't coming from a member who has a very high post count without providing much in the way of useful intel very often.

I am intrigued by the notion of LE posting fake good reviews in order to infiltrate the site. It's one more thing to look out for I guess. It would be even more interesting to hear more about what this former detective could share about how they used this info.[/QUOTE]I see a contradiction here. In order to help prevent what happens in your second paragraph, you're going to have to put up with "sappy" exchanges. When a provider responds to a review in some detail (like what Christina was suggesting below) the whole community gets the benefit of increased legitimacy for the provider and the monger. It helps even more when both the provider and monger are well established here. I'd much prefer having that useful knowledge out in the forum rather than it being tucked away between two people via PM. A purely PM exchange doesn't do the community any good. Sure, sometimes I find the back and forth chatter a bit personal and maybe sappy but I feel safer in the end. That matters.

[QUOTE=GoBig;2145557]Let's just say there's one member in particular who seems to have serial cases where he sees a provider repeatedly then suddenly finds himself being ripped off, discovering she's a drug addict, realizing her incall location is scuzzy and that she's ugly as sin, often at the same time, as if the beer goggles had suddenly and miraculously been lifted from his eyes.[/QUOTE]I know who you are talking about and am sure I'm not the only one. And not just from posts; many of which are purely negative vitriol that doesn't come off as objective or rational. I've heard a couple complaints from providers too. The result is that I take no interest or useful intel from his posts. He might be smart enough to post the truth 60-70% of the time but that's not that hard to decipher. This person should learn that his credibility is at stake and that he should revisit the "boy who cried wolf" story. The community awareness is a greater "intelligence" than just the sum of the individuals here. That kind of behavior will be found out in due time.

I hate the new site! Please bring back the old.
