I can't see her having any repeat customers which is a shame because she isn't a bad looking girl.
The downside is that there are more guys who aren't members of this board than there are. SPs don't mention their terb reviews (or other reviews) in their ads the way they did back when BP was still around to prove their legitimacy. Which is how I found out about this board not too long before BP went down.
Guys can't find info on SPs if they don't know there is somewhere they can find it (or hopefully find it). In the grand scheme, our community here is quite small (including both active and lurking members). So, us warning each other is helpful to all of us. But unfortunately despite our best efforts, SPs like these will always get customers. Not repeat customers because they don't care about repeat customers. All SPs like these care about is the shirt term gain of scanning guys out of their money. But they'll get the customers who are new to hobbying or uninformed/knowledgeable of a place like this existing.
The other part of this, I think, is that ironically enough, most of the gents on here either aren't technologically literate or don't take the time to familiarize themselves with this website or industry so they can be well-informed. As we see in the constant replies of "use the search function" a million times over lol It also doesn't help when a lot of threads on here have unambiguous titles that don't have the SPs name, number, or a link to/pics of their ad to make it easy to find the info.
There are also far more lurking members than there are active. If all of the lurking members shared their experiences we would have far more info on many more SPs both good and bad which would really go a long way.
To compound this issue, from my interactions with a lot of SPs that I've seen, the view many SPs have on review boards has shifted quite negatively in the last 10 years. Many SPs don't care about review boards and some even have NRPs (No Review Policies). In which this view only exacerbates the issue and enables scammers and bad SPs like Bri to do what they do. Many SPs also either don't know about review boards either or they don't know that we as a community have put in a lot of effort to get rid of crass and callous members and to try and keep things as respectful as possible on here.
I think LL should connect with this board in some way, the same way they have with Lyla. Mostly because this is a far more honest place as where Lyla only focuses on positive reviews, it does absolutely nothing to protect customers from scammers or bad SPs. Plus there are very few SPs who even use it to begin with. If they connected with this board, they would be able to connect bad reviews to bad SPs and scammers and do a more active job of ridding them from their site.
Anyways, I'm sorry to the OP for his experience and thanks to the OP for sharing and corroborating your experience Indy. And while I understand and appreciate the optimism in your sentiment, this is the unfortunate reality. They'll always have new customers to prey on.
