Balen gets it. Both suggestions are good suggestions for reviewers. Balen also gets that it's about sanctioning reviewers who mislead. Misleading obviously means your service was 'blackmail' based. It does not mean embellished reviews, indeed different styles are largely irrelevant to the case against misleading. As Balen notes, some reviewers are genuinely trying to help others. In my own case, honest reviews help make good choices. Some of us don't place all our cookies in the kick-back basket.

I was one of the first to say this hon. I have always said it and always will. These types of things need to be included in reviews. It makes them honest and therefore the reader can be better informed which makes his decision making a little easier as well. So I 100% agree.
I just added a side note which is that because we know this happens and people don't disclose this info, as the person about the spend the money, you need to take responsibility for yourself and make sure you do alot of homework.
That is all. Nothing major, just the side note to which apparently makes me in favor of kick-backs and shilling and all the rest in the eyes of some.
However, I have said my piece repeatedly so I am seriously done with this thread. I just answered you because you were very polite so thank you for that.
Have a great weekend.
Sorry, was not able to finish my prior post, it went mid-word!
Thanks to Terb, I now have very high expectations going in. I`m no longer looking for "does she provide good service". That I now take as the basic entry fee. I`m looking for SP`s I click with. And yes I`ve received great service, but with no click? Sorry, not going back. Thanks, Terb, you have raised my own standard by giving me the information I need to wean out the poor providers, or even more basic, the B&S operations, some of which do advertise on this site (but who, to my knowledge or what I have seen, never post).
This whole "fight club" thing is juvenile. It`s people wanting to be secretly "in the know". Do I leverage the fact that I`m an active reviewer for better service? No, I don`t. In fact, I have an old thread I started that lead me to question whether I should keep reviewing because I am somewhat known. https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=252948
After numerous posts in the thread, and pm`s, I`ve decided to keep reviewing.
Do I ever mention my Terb before a session? No, unless it was booked through Terb, in which case I just assume they know (duh). If someone asks will I lie? No. Yes, I`ve heard of it, yes, I review, no, I don`t give details in my reviews. I don`t get into a long discussion over it.
As for Terb events, I`ve only been to one, and I had fun. The reason for doing it? Interacting with people who you can actually talk about hobbying with. Can`t and won`t do it with in my civilian life. Plus, it`s also great to meet ladies outside of sessions.
One thing I do want to know. Who`s in the so-called "frat pack"? Based on what`s been thrown around, it may include up to half the active reviewers on the board.

I call them the "5 Horsemen" because they seem to enjoy the "jockey" position
a.k.a. "cowboy" not to be confuse with "cowgirl".Important: you must continue to review. I like some others can trust in your reviews. Why do I say that, I have seen a few ladies from your reviews and found my sessions to be of the same nature. I`ll just say that to my knowledge your shooting straight. Don`t worry if your accused or not. Thanks for your continued input.
Didn't want to say anything cause its useless to discuss comments as there is an agenda issue here. Man all your posts here are long and says the same thing over and over again. Seen your very few reviews you have here and it seems you had fun on all of them.
So why say :got burned because of frat pack reviews. have you got burned by it?, not according to your reviews so please try to explain with facts. Or you seem to be speaking for someone else.
Would appreciate a short factual answer.
Thanks, GDL. And I will continue to review. Just will start disclosing a little more to ensure that any potential conflict is out in the open.
I will also follow your lead, not that i've ever hidden anything, I will add disclosures where applicable.
Never got burned by reviews, (mythical?) frat pack or otherwise. That is why I said do NOT lump objectors into that category. Short. Factual.
My bad I misread it. That is why you are writer and I am not.
Cheers and happy hobbying.
Nah, my bad too. I am way more annoying than you, and most - brain moves too fast and fingers follow at light speed, hence wordy posts.
Hobby on.
