HP,
You had an open tee time and you didn't invite ME. [sob] ?
I'm heading up toward Montreal in the next couple of weeks. Maybe we could play a round.
jl,
To answer your question, the McDonald's guy was banned purportedly for either being a liar, spreading false rumors, his attitude when JAG became a pay site, or his constant bitching and moaning. The writer claimed he really didn't remember as the issue came up apparently several months after the banning actually occurred.
GoJ,
"I can't believe that someone who has been around the boards for any length of time would make that argument. How many HUNDREDS of times have we actually seen providers themselves actually self post in that manner ? Besides, how many times have we seen some "Board God" write a good review, and then later on ( or even a few ) "lesser guys" write less favorable reviews. I don't know about you, but what I've seen is the sentiment of "well, Board God said she was good, so why should I trust this newby over Board God ???"."
Sorry I'm so dense. From what I've seen (and I don't even pretend to be as knowledgable about these sorts of things than many of you others), "self posters" seem to be discoverd rather quickly, no ?
Who are these "board Gods" exactly ? Please name names because I have no idea who you are referring to. I personally know of no such people. I weight reviews far more heavily from people who's opinions I have followed in the past that have turned out as well and sometimes even better than I would have expected. If I follow someone's review and do not have (within YMMV) a good time I will note that as well.
"Since most girls get mostly "new business ( i.e. rather than repeat ), the strategy works very well business wise. But it's even more than that. I'm not only talking about a provider who gives a guy superior service because he gets his reviews read, and she wants good reviews. I'm also talking about a girl who's been told she better give some VIP "special service" ( the Husband treatment ??????? ), if she wants the owner to treat her well and have her stay on the "A" list at the house."
Don't know myself how well that strategy actually works though. I wonder how *you* do. As long as guys (newbies or not) post about the so-so or out and out bad times they've had with a provider, the prepoderance of evidence, at least in my mind, will keep me away from her.
Granted I weight the reviews more towards known and "followed" posters more heavily than newbies (especially if the newbie *seems* to have an agenda).
If a lady gets mostly positive reviews and a few so-so or even an occasional bad one, I still pay more attention to who reviews them and whether I know how they "grade"
As far as the "husband" treatment, obviously you are referring to a "board God". Since I already said I don't know any, I have no knowledge of that situation therefore I can't answer that.
