My policy on no reviews requests (originally posted in a thread in 2008)

In general I think so.  There are a myriad of reasons a provider may not want to be reviewed and that is her perrogative.

On the other hand, her desire to not have reviews is trumped, in my opinion by a bad or unsafe experience that other potential clients need to be warned about.  Rip-off, robs, upsells, no service, etc are all resaons to disregard a providers no review request.

But for me, if there was nothing that others need to be seriously warned about, I will absolutely respect a no review policy.  But I need to be asked not to write a review, if I do not ask her myself after the session is over.

In general, a good review generates interest for a provider and helps her business, so if for whatever reason (not my business why) she doesn't want to be reviewed, I respect the request, absolutely.  With the caveate that there is nothing others need to be warned about.

Sometimes a provider and client don't click (yes even with delightful and charming me this can happen) and this is very much a YMMV endeavor.  That is understood and a YMMV thing does not constitute the need to "warn" others.  It would take a real breech for me to review a provider that does not wish one.

agreed one hundred.

The only time I would not respect a providers wish to not be reviewed is if I felt I got shafted.  Then I have no qualms about letting the rest of our community know EXACTLY what went down.  That's the reason we are all here, after all.

I've had a lot more dates then the reviews I've written, but have never been asked not to write one. I've been asked not to write bad ones, and that's part of the problem. Yes, YMMV, but if I had seen some of the reviews I have not written trying to be a nice guy, I probably would not have called her to begin with. That's part of the hobby though, YMMV, and one client's great date will not necessarily be anothers.

It's kind of funny actually, now that I can't write reviews anymore, it kind of makes me want to, even though some of them would be breaking my rule about not writing bad ones.
