I agree, perhaps a compromise?.
[QUOTE=Nonono90;7690997]I understand the spam and BS reviews were an issue, but in this region there are only a handful of good parlors and we have banned the only spas most people go to in like a 60 mile radius from my house. I'm not going to act like I know what's best for the forum but I have no reason to open this website anymore. People already stopped using rubmaps ages ago, this was the only place left I had to check who is working when and where and now I'm just completely in the dark.[/QUOTE]Note: I am not wanting to offend or rile up the admins with this comment!
While I understand the admins have control and final say of the forums and I understand the frustration of the admins over the bogus reviews and potential incentives provided by the operators of those places that shall not be mentioned, I think the total ban was a little extreme.
I used the reports from those places mainly to get a semi accurate description of the providers and the type of services they provided. It made it easier to decide who to see, as I have a particular body type I prefer and I enjoy the more PSE style of session and got very useful insight. I could read and see through the bullshit reviews and the offending reviewers, especially when one guy is posting 25 reviews of the same girl and figured out to take what they said with a grain of salt.
The Everett forum had a separate page started for those places, but it was decided it was kind of redundant and posting there stopped, but it is still listed. Since the admins know who the bogus reviewers were, couldn't they just ban those guys and allow us that relied on the information, resurrect that page and only post accurate descriptions of looks and body types and the type of session, with no Penthouse Forum exaggerations and multiple glowing reviews of the same girl? Just an idea for a compromise.
