My ATF is out of town for a couple of months and recommended someone for me to try while she is gone. I was looking for her website (down for maintenance atm) and came across several threads on a ripoff alert site. These threads claimed that this provider had herpes and had infected them. This raises a bunch of questions for me:
1) Are any of these sites reliable information? Are they just disgruntled customers looking for petty revenge by spreading lies? 2) Should I discuss what I found with my ATF and ask her what she thinks? 3) How often do you ask a provider if they've been recently tested and come back clean? 4) For the providers, would being asked this question offend you?
My wife and I get tested every three months (we play together) and have been clean so far, knock on wood. Obviously, keeping it that way is a high priority. Maybe even higher than avoiding LE.
If you notice most reports are actually outing people's real names for dumb shit like NCNSs...that is absurd. Yes, you can put anything on those sites, but if you look at a girl's history and reviews, they usually contradict what is being said. If we all worried about rumors being spread, most would have shot themselves in the head a long time ago. Do your research, go with your gut, and take everything with a grain of salt. The purpose for these sites has been clouded over with infantile nonsense that renders their mission utterly useless to both clients and providers, alike.
I agree mostly with you London BUT I would definitely be emailing a few reviewers and whatnot before I took the plunge. Normally, if the lady has a good record with known reviewers I don't even bother them with verification.
I don't know who you're speaking of, but I do know where you're speaking of.
Anybody could post anything on that site. ROR does not check anything at all and there is NO recourse for the victimized accused. There is a "corporate advocacy program" though in reality it's so that the owner of the site can get a monthly payment to merely put up a two sentence blurb about this company being dedicated to customer service. Yes, as long as you're paying you're dedicated! Lol.
Anyway, the thing to understand is that most people choosing to put something on that site is maliciously trying to hurt somebody. Those words get superglued to the Internet.
Better to go through reputable sources rather than an evil website. Some more of my thoughts on that site are in the most recent thread regarding delisting here in the gen board.
Regarding your questions, definitely discuss with your ATF if it will make you feel more comfortable. She may have more info on if there's a suspect who would have done this maliciously or not and why it happened. As a provider, FYI, I wouldn't ever be offended if someone asked me when my last testing was. I go minimum 4 times a year, so it's never more than 3 months.
