This Stuff Really Pisses Me Off.
So we had this review posted for Nuru Goddess Dominique earlier this afternoon.

Called early set up appointment for noon. She said call when you get close,
I called at 11:50 no answer and message box was full. Tried about 15 times.
And gave up. I did read of this happening another a while back. A waste of gas and time.
I thought it was a bit odd and so did some others as Dom's service has been nothing short of spectacular. I'm not a guy that normally goes back for seconds, I like variety but I have seen Dom more times than I can count, which is not enough. I saw her today at 4:00 and asked her if she had missed an appointment at noon today, I did not tell her about the bad review. Dom told me that someone had called for a noon appointment but they didn't have or would not provide references. She no longer sees new clients that don't have references. She had no reason to defend herself as I had not mentioned the review at that time.
So I can only guess that the bad review is sour grapes for not being seen. I have seen it before and I'm sure I will see it again. The reason I believe Dom's side of the story is because of how well I know her and how much I trust her. She has become a friend that I look forward to seeing for reasons other than the Nuru activities. The other reason I believe Dom is the review itself. 15 times dude? Really? No one tries 15 times before they give up. 5 maybe, not 15.
Sorry, got to raise the BS flag on this one.
Gentlemen, it is VITAL that the integrity of these reviews be maintained. Using the reviews as retaliation when a provider won't see you or won't do what you want them to do ruins that integrity. The BS from a lot of the providers is bad enough, let's take the high road on our end.
Re: Here's an idea (from General)
[QUOTE=TableToy; 1811590]Based on the fact that several providers read our comments, in particular in the Massage Parlor Reports.
Perhaps at least in that area we should refrain from any specifics of a good nature, and just.
Give a rating of C, B, B+, A, A+. I saw a report where 1 girl "Judy" was given outstanding.
Reviews and a lot of description. Well she changed her name and service stopped.
On the other hand far more beneficial would be negative reviews so we can save our money and.
Maybe even encourage better service. As always YMMV but at least we'd know the.
Rip offs and wouldn't jeopardize the good spots. Just an idea.[/QUOTE]On the surface this sounds like a great idea, it would address the concern that you bring up. That being said, if all you give is a letter grade with no detail, all that tells us is that [b]you[/b] Had a certain level of good time with a provider. You may have an experience that you consider an A+ because the provider happened to offer exactly what you were looking for. Somebody else may have the exact same experience with this provider and only consider it a D- because she didn't offer what he was looking for. Does this D- mean this is a bad provider? Of course not. It just means that we all have different likes and dislikes. We're not here just to avoid getting ripped off, another big part of this is to find a good provider that offers what we're looking for. Read back through the threads. What is the most commonly asked follow up question to reports? What is on the menu (or some variation). Without session detail this forum turns into just a complaint board where people come to complain about bad sessions, because basically all you've got to say is a detailed complaint about a bad session, or a vague letter grade for a good one that tells nothing about that session.
No B. S. In my side of story

She agreed to the appointment and never asked once for any reference at all just a first name. It's very disappointing, fortunately I was able to get into the CP massage and had a wonderful time though not NURU. I may try Dom. Again 1 more time and explain what she said happened. If what she said is true, then why didn't she answer the phone at noon and ask for references?
The Bird Travels at Night
[QUOTE=TableToy;1813187]I think it's easy enough for members to understand a simple system. FS or BJ gets between A- to A+, Nude or topless B- to B+, great HJ B- to B+, if no HJ just say it's a legit place, if it's a lackluster HJ then give it a C what I'm saying is that a lot of these places try and stay off the radar, and when a lot of detailed reviews show up they tend to pull back on service or change girls. A sample review might be something like, went to Schenectady Spa was pleasantly surprised by clean place, lockable doors, good looking masseuse that enjoyed her work. Massage was very thorough and overall service was a B+.[/QUOTE]The problem with a system like this is that in order for it to mean anything to anybody, they need to know how to decode the rating. If everybody knows the code, what's the point? It's just another unnecessary layer of confusion.
Rating System / Unfair Criticism of Table Toy
To add my depreciated sixpence on the issues recently discussed:
A letter-grade-rating system is good in theory, but will be awful in practice. I get the idea. If we advertise a provider is doing extras in a place where maybe she doesn't want that known, right, we could jeopardize a good thing. I have a perfect solution for that: DON'T REVIEW HER THEN. Yes, mongers will lose out, but at least the original poster will have kept his good thing going. Nothing wrong with being selfish every now-and-then. If the provider feels she wants more clients because she does extra activities, then she has to get the word out. No way around it. I have debated this too, and so if I feel my review will jeopardize a good thing, I just don't give every darn DDarkness-mandated detail.
As for fellow mongers getting on Table Toy's case, I don't get it. He didn't actually give the provider a bad review. He simply said she was a no-show / no-answer. Any monger who has been in the hobby long enough has experienced the extreme frustration when this happens. It sucks. It's a total loss. Time, gas, opportunity cost, and still no pussy. Back to square one or give up for the night. I don't review every provider who does a no-show, because I get it, shit happens. There are infinite reasons why a provider will do this: kid issues, SO issues, handler issues, over-booking, etc. Escorts aren't known to be paragons of accountability. To castigate Table Toy because he called out the provider for bad TCB skills isn't fair to the forum. That's info we need. And if asked directly, of course a provider will justify any of her actions. After all, we're not paying cash to fuck Mother Theresa.
