A user you don't know, have never seen a post by, that has no reviews and to your knowledge has never seen a lady from this, or any, site posts an ISO.

You read the ISO and believe that yourself or your ATF may be just what the poster is looking for.

What do you do:

A.) Post a reply pimping yourself or your ATF including links to websites reviews and telling them to PM you for even more information.

B.) Reply that the OP needs to get VIP and once they do you will give them info via PM

C.) Ignore the post and let it slide off the front page with no replies

D.) Mock the Hell out of the poster and create a long thread of LULz that have nothing to do with the original inquiry


Now, it would seem a number of folks choose A, and Number may choose B...
The correct answer is C...
The fun answer for all the regular posters on this board would be D...but may be frowned upon by the moderators.

People will try and get information for nothing, people with less than "honorable intent" will try and get others to give them a "hit list", you can't control what they ask, you can't control what they post...

but you can control how you reply, you can refuse to hang a prize on there hook during a fishing expedition.  You can ignore them, you can publicly humiliate and mock them...or you can give them exactly what they want and make sure they and others know that all they have to do is post an ISO and you will offer yourselves or the ladies you know up for them.

Like Smokey the Pimp says:
Only You Can Prevent Blind Recommendations.

I am guilty of all 4 options....and not at all ashamed of it.

I think the part that annoys me the most is when the op includes his/her email address in their search. It annoys me because this is a VERY expensive hobby. I would think if someone is going to spend hundreds or thousands of hard earned $$$$'s they would fork over the $20.00 to do their own searching...after they have done a search the next logical thing do to (IMHO) would be to pm the last few guys who have spent time bcd's with the lady in question. IMHO that should answer any and all questions.

I think doing the cattle can work for the lady, bc most of us screen well anyways, but if the guy has not forked over the dough for vip....exactly what screening is he doing?

How about E - Get VIP do your own research and decide from that.

The one thing I will say though about the Vegas market is that you guys do get a Lot of infrequent visitors that while they may not hobby much, when they are coming to your city, want to make sure their dollars are well spent.

Of course as with all cities the ladies need to screen,screen,screen.

I'm pretty much OK with nasty.  

Let the OP establish his bonafides in the community first, and take it from there. As the information requested is, eventually of a sensitive and personal nature, and should be treated with the same amount of discretion.

I mean, this is a close cousin to "who speaks the best Greek (whatever that means, either subjectively or objectively) or "who gives the best BBBJ" (or my newbie favorite, best CBBBJ), which for a while during the Dark Ages of this forum, seemed to show up like clockwork every two weeks or so.

I must say though, I have been guilty of D.

Why? I guess I have grown just way too jaded.

But more importantly, people fail to realize that cops are all over the internet these days. And lest we forget or some need their eyes opened the great demise of "poon valley" was due in part to cops who were, yes also TER members, and Meet & Greet attendees.

Yes, it is true, that most ladies know how to and do good screening. But even the best can get popped by very canny LE. They know all the tricks.

And as for the jerks that through up names to ISO's posters you describe, they are doing nobody a favor. All they are really doing is stroking their own ego publically. They know who they are. They just cannot help themselves I guess.

I would pass the ISO on to my ATF, and let her check the person out.

Suggestion seekers rarely state specific enough criteria to make a decent speculation on who might be a good match for them. So (C) generally applies.

(E) Suggest someone I know who I think would be a good choice for them if the post seems sincere.

That I do. I'm just trying to be helpful in those situations. If anybody thinks I have other reasons for doing so, tough shit, they're wrong. Every positive review anybody writes is a blind recommendation. If someone forks over 20 bucks for VIP to view those recommendations, that makes it no less likely to me that they are a cop or dangerous asshole than the unknown ISO poster. Providers screen for themselves. I presume everyone is a decent person unless or until they display otherwise.

lol @ Only You Can Prevent Blind Recommendations.

Smarty you beat me to it again lol
