Hobbiest's only / Yes or No
Me - NO - The exposure to your personal life is tremendous......I basically told them to pound sand.
Do you mean your actual words were more along the lines of "NO FUCKING WAY!!!" lol
All social media should be avoided by anyone who want's to stay anonymous, LinkedIn is the most insidious and rapacious and will virtually guarantee your monger life and your "real" life will intersect, and do so quickly.
Anyone who has a career or a marriage to protect would do well to forget they even have a linkedin profile.

Pussy,
Come on now are you still "twat-hurt" from all that?
The reality is that the Linkedin account would show that Tankbinding is just a pawn in the game of life....
Pussy,
Don't know if my LinkedIn profile would show that but I sure as shit am...
Most of the time my life is sculpted by forces I can't control and at the times I can control things I have a pretty laissez-faire attitude about doing it - LOL
I can also tell you that I am NOT living an unexamined life - but what of you Pussy?!?
Please tell me your story...
God I LOVE responding to your posts Pussy! I can start every one by calling you a pussy and I'm not even being a dick...
TB you are clearly sore from knowing that you are just a pawn in the game of life, so you resort to being a slobbyist to get off...
You all are strangers to us. We have no clue who you are! You can easily see our names and google us and find everything you need to know. We take a lot of risks doing this job and for everyone to be so insensitive about screening (of all things) is seriously disturbing
Ashley / Chrissy,
Screening is one thing and asking for someone's complete identity and details (their real life shit) is quite another...
When I google a provider I can find out many things about their provider identity but imagine if I asked for details about
their real life as an extra layer of protection for myself? Would you provide that to me Chrissy Cream?
If you want to ask for someone's real life details as part of your screening process then good on you but you will probably stuff a lot of potential clients. Just my opinion of course...
I totally understand from your perspective but some clients dont have references, and don't want to give their LinkedIn. What other safe option is there? Even using an ID isn't even that safe because it could be fake. What's the compromise there?
I did not ask for his Linkedin & you have to be a member yourself to view profiles. I am not on any of these sites. No social media. No FB, No IG, so why would he assume that is a reasonable screening method?
I have had fellas send me their FB accounts to with pictures of their wife & kids. I am not sure why they think this works.
I am just curious who does ask for these methods & does it work for them?
Plus it's not necessary. The majority of providers don't ask for that kind of information. I've gone by with references and handles only. Works just fine for me.
Unless you are adding them as someone you have done business before, I don't see what's the big deal. There is clear plausible deniability. Your LinkedIn profile is public so anyone could've found it. Come think of it, if you have a common name, can't you easily fake your identity impersonate someone on LinkedIn?
Some of us are very well advanced in our careers, have business's, family, as well as lovely SO. One flaky post by a provider, or anyone else for that matter on social media may be devastating. Why add additional exposure when it is not necessary? Handles and references only.
For newbies, consider joining well known verification sites and book providers who are newbie friendly. Ask polity if they would consider being your reference afterwards. Check out the FAQ for newbies board on TER.
Don't listen to assholes, like the guy I'm replying too!!!! They may get you into trouble.

don't be a chicken little and life will be a lot better for you. unless you are some pillar of community or celeb, you are not worth the effort to begin with. smear campaigns on linkedin have been around forever and no one will believe some strangers claiming you saw an escort or molested a kid. unless you get caught red handed by law enforcement, everything bad is vicious lies by your unscrupulous competitors and their lack of moral standards make you sick. don't tell me you live in constant fear of identity theft too...
i'm more worried about ppl using linkedin as a source of truth. hi i'm john smith. here's my linkedin profile. this verification is borderline useless

its very simple without any emotion. there is P411 OKAYS , TER White list and references from other girls. nothing besides that is needed nor should be requested. there is no reason for further personal information, if that screening isn't sufficient, a gentleman should move on.
historically in the hobby, more often a girl has tried to harass, blackmail , or expose a gentleman, it has happened to me, several years ago. yes some girls get stalked but having someone's personal information is not going to stop that.
a top provider should expect a gentleman to have references, if the doesn't do you really want to be with a guy with no provider experience?, who knows how he will behave?
To say there is no exposure by giving linkedin profile is idiotic. If you have that you can figure out everything.
Hypothetically, you give it as part of the screening. You set the date and it's miserable, so you review as such...
The provider gets really upset - hmmm what can happen next??
I have had one problem over the years and I have met more than one provider that was unstable...
As far as I'm concerned - There are risks on both sides and the less we know about each others real lives the better.
