TERB is a review board.

Should SP's be allowed on this board?

Issues to ponder...

Does their presence have an affect on reviews?

Is the board obligated to appease paid advertisers?

Should the board "Censor" or "Edit" reviews?

Would you prefer a non SP board?

What type of board would be more beneficial to the SP or the reviewer?
 
Sure they should be allowed on this Board, by and large the SP's add to the dynamic of the Board and give a fresh perspective on topics. Their presence also helps keep potential hyperbole and conjecture in reviews to a lower level than it otherwise would be.

That's probably the most liberal statement I've seen you post on this board.

I would prefer that my statement be characterized as Free Market, because using the "l" word makes me feel cheap and dirty.:o

Well you should feel exactly how you are. You cheap and Dirty bugger!
 
I used to think the SPs had no place here. But this is more than a review board. It's a forum for open discussion among all parties. I can understand why some SPs don't like them. They prefer to keep their business behind closed doors and conduct their business with each individual client as they see fit rather than be knownfor YMMV. Also they prefer to conduct themselves away from the prying eyes of LE. So they need their access to the forum to present their viewpoint and create some understanding. Especially when some "bad client" accuses them of mistreatment.

It would be nice if their super secret "do not call" forums extended us the same courtesy. But that may come with time.
 
In fact they have been doing this for a lot longer then we have.

Thats quite interesting Sir. Master Phnine speaks rather fondly of you and if memory serves me well, he used those exact words: free, cheap and dirty!

Oh Butler, what we discuss should be between us and not for you to go off and tell Sir Lancslad. I am fond of the lonely hand holding hobbyist that enjoys the occasional cuddle, but I didn't want him to know (blushing). However, the constant harrasment and solicitation of DFK has really made him look even more cheap and dirty then he was to begin with. Perhaps next time Butler, we could have Sir Lancslad over by the mansion for tea and biscuits. :p
 
Interesting idea Butler, you do make a great homemade fairy cake, and made from that of your very own recipe. I am sure the fuit cake won't mind the replacement of the biscuits, because we all know Sir Lancslad loves his fairy cake. :p
 
You must be confused Butler, because I like Cinnamon Toast in the morning. And I would strongly advise you to apologize to Sheik, becuase he is not even French.

Ok let's stop hijacking this thread...sorry Ref.
 
Imho…

We should and we are, we do have a different perspective on the different topics and issues that arise on the board.

The fact that we are on the board does not affect the reviews. The reviewer has a good or bad time he writes truthfully and honestly, as a TERB member he's some what obligated to inform the gentlemen of the board if he was ripped off or felt ripped off.

Without the paid advertisers, the men that make up the board would have to pay membership. And I honestly believe that no one wants to have to pay for membership to read and or write reviews, when they would rather be pooning. ( LOL )

The reviews should be edited if they contain personal information and/or contain a bit too much explicit details.

This is a board and everyone has something to say, however some comments/ statements should be censored only if they are braking the rules of the board.

Without us on the boards, it becomes a very hostile place. So we in a sense keep somewhat of a balance. :rolleyes:

* This is just my two wanted or unwanted cents. *
 
There aren't too many women posting anyway, it's still a male dominated board where many are driven off or have given up on giving their views since they're often called self promoters when they do.
I appreciate the ones who stay and give their opinions or just lend a few laughs.
 
You know, why the reviewers are here to make reviews and general comments, the women are as important as the men. If it weren't for some of them being on the board, the women I have seen, I may never have gone seen, because I didn't get a chance to connect with them. I'll use Bianca as an example. I saw her ads when she first joined, but didn't know much about her. She started going into chat and I had a chance to talk to her, we made a connection, then next thing you know, I'm doing a midnight rendezvous with her.

By seeing girls in chat, or seeing their takes on good or bad reviews are what usually makes my final decisions to see an SP, and I'm happy to say because of that, I haven't had any bad experiences so far.

So ladies, keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing more of you on the board.
 
I believe the ladies should be allowed on the board I just wish they were not allowed to post in the review sections.
 
The ladies are a important to this board as the men.

I love Spotted Dick and could have that anytime of the day.:D

Lancs, you might try a two week course of anti-biotics for your spotted dick problem. You might also consider to stop dating Finny.
