Somebody correct me on this. I thought the rule was "one post each 7 days" on each board.
That way, a Provider can post to several cities as long as it is only one post per city per 7 days.
.
Her home city is C1. She posts an ad on Jan 1. Next ad on Jan 8. Etc.
She is planning to tour to C2 from Jan 5-10. She might want to build up interest ahead of time and post an ad to C2 on Jan 1 - "I'll be visiting from Jan 5-10. Book early." Then, she can post again to C2 on Jan 8, "I'm still here and available until Jan 10."
.
Meanwhile, the rest of her tour includes C3, C4, ... Cn. So she can post post one ad every 7 days to each of C3, ... Cn.
.
Some Providers might only make their first ad post on their first day of arrival: Board C3 on Jan 11: "I just arrived! Available until Jan 14!" if that works for them. (Maybe she emailed regulars about her tour and has some meetings already set up.) Others prefer to announce their plans ahead of time.
.
If she is spending 6 weeks in C6, she can post one ad each 7 days to the C6 board.
.
I THINK THOSE ARE THE CURRENT RULES. (Yes? No?)
.
What you want is the ability to post a new ad EVERY DAY as long it isn't her "home" city C1? The programming seems tricky to me because of the number of uncontrolled variables. Does your suggestion include someone spending the summer (8 - 12 weeks) in their non-home city C6? What prevents a Provider from changing her home city to Anchorage, AK making EVERY OTHER city a touring city? (I knew a Provider whose first REAL home city was Seattle; she moved to LA which became her new REAL home; but her TER home city was specified as Dallas, TX ... and she also toured to NYC and Boston.)
.
I think I need to hear more specifics and how to prevent abuse (e.g., switching home cities or using a non-home home city).

so that a visiting gal can post her availability in the city she is at each day that she is there.
This would assist her and her potential clients who can go to the board and see a list of the gals who are in his (or her) town that day.
There would have to be some limits as it wouldn't be right for a gal to post everyday from her hometown, so maybe 7 days as that seems to be the max that most gals remain in a city they visit.
Going back to at least 2017, there have been several suggestions for TER to add a "Calendar" feature. A place for Providers to post their Name / Profile link to a regular calendar split or separated into cities or regions.

.
Consider almost any existing Agency calendar or indy provider calendar with Big Boxes. The basic programming already exists. It's just a matter of working out how to add / remove / edit insertions and deletions. TER only? (requires planning in advance to submit a "Please put me on the C7 Calendar for Jan 23 to Jan 30." -OR- somehow allowing Providers the ability to add and remove themselves w/o messing with others. Or, people might prefer some other design: daily planner line-by-line calendars, etc. Would that work for you?
.
Or give Providers with Profiles the ability to submit their "calendar" entries (via a new PRIVATE button on their Profile page) to a gigantic spreadsheet or sortable table (like a table on wikipedia). Column 1 = city / region; Column 2 = name (and TER ID linked to her Profile) ; Column 3 = date (she enters start and end dates for that city and gets automatically added to all of those dates). Column 4 = hourly rate. Other columns? A seeker could first sort on City, then date or name, then name or date. Etc..
.
I think a Calendar feature would bring back Providers who want to be listed there ... but TER will require that they have a TER Profile for entering their listing and crosslinking back to their Profile.

A calendar could be a solution, but would not convey a lot of information that an ad would, and would also be costly for TER to implement.
I think that the 7 day max I suggested would prevent the issues of abuse you refer to.
I think that open-source calendaring or spreadsheet or table code already exists. TER would just have to customize something for TER-specific use. In lieu of a full buzz post, what info do you think is essential (in, say, a spreadsheet form)?
.
City; Name; Date; hourly rate?; ... hair color?; ... a short "Neighborhood" or "Location": "Back Bay [Boston]" vs ["Woburn [Boston suburb]" or "Gramercy Park [NYC]"; Hours? (2pm-12am vs 9am-8pm); external ad site link?; ...
.
I think the calendar would have a hot link directly to her (required) Profile so all of that info is one click away. I suppose it could hot link to her most recent City post from that City's buzz board but that gets complicated. (Profile is a fixed link. "Most recent ad in the that City" is a moving target.)
.
I think there would some ROI on a calendar (or spreadsheet or table) if TER had some participation rules: Profile REQUIRED to be included on the Calendar (for a direct link the Profile info). If the Calendar became popular and useful (and closed some deals), Providers would not delist or ask to be reactivated if already delisted.

Maybe the Lieutenant has the best solution: just let Providers post more buzz and use RAP (Report a post) if someone thinks the Provider has exceeded the posting limit (to be determined: possibly a 7-days in a row limit).
Programming? Is there programming to hold back rule-breaking posts? I don’t know for certain but I always thought the only thing enforcing the guidelines was the RAPs. No?
Anyways yeah, the rule is one thread on the ad, I mean buzz board every seven days. I’m not sure whether that translates to one post every seven days. I’ve seen providers respond to their own post on those boards. Maybe their tour dates changed or they forgot to put rates in the first post or whatever.
But just because I’ve seen it does not mean it is actually allowed. Anyone know if they’d be within the rules to post their daily available time slots as long as they keep it all in one thread? If that’s not allowed, I agree with the suggestion that it would be nice.
I hope some providers will chime in here because I think the original suggestion is a good one which could be helpful for some people. However, I’m curious how many providers actually would do it if they could. Virtually every woman posting touring ads around here has further web presence on other sites. Places where they can easily post stuff along the lines of “Two spots left on Monday” or “Wednesday afternoon is still open, cum and get me” or whatever. Personally, I see that kind of detail about availability very rarely, even in places where posting guidelines aren’t an issue.
A lot of providers who have their own sites have a calendar feature on there. I find it pretty common to click on that to find it empty. Or, you see a bunch of stuff on there and then realize it’s from 15 months ago. Even when they’re touring.
Ladies, how many of you keep a public calendar? Would you post your daily touring availability on TER, if you could?
