In my experience, the global blacklist is more mythical than real in most cases. Sure, if a monger beats up a girl, that’s going to get around and have a deservedly negative impact on his ability to book anywhere once the word spreads.
I only ever had something like this happen once. It was back when I was new. And it was a c-org that seems to be long gone. I just stopped communicating with the booker and never used the org again. From the fact that they didn’t seem to last long, I’m guessing I wasn’t the only one.
If you’re in SoCal or NorCal, there will always be plenty of reputable orgs to work with.
Though, in the future I would recommend delaying reviews so that it won’t be so easy for people to match you up to a particular visit. I know not everyone agrees on this. But anonymity/privacy is important in the mongering world for many reasons. Primarily for safety, in my mind. There are bad actors in this community. Most times in my experience they have been other mongers. But sometimes they are the girls, the bookers or the orgs. I find it best to just avoid providing the opportunity for some bad actor to identify me in the first place.
And, yes, I get it that some people may never have a bad experience. Good for them. I’ve had a few bad experiences. So have others I’ve known. Minimizing the risk of one of those bad experiences, such as is described above or potentially much worse, seems worth the inconvenience of maintaining my privacy to me. But everyone must make this decision for themselves.
Even on Facebook it is considered good practice to not post vacation pics until you’re returned home. This minimizes the risk of someone using your Facebook entries to identify that your house is empty and ripe for burglary.
So, yeah, the good old passive aggressive behavior of making yourself unavailable and, in this case, difficult to even identify can be very useful. In a community where every single person involved - even the most pro monger among us - is at least to some extent a criminal, caution just makes sense.
