Hello all,

First, please reference all comments within this board only.

I'll try to keep this opening post simple. Should members be writing reviews assessing the performance of an entire agency's performance as a whole? Or should reviews only be from one's own personal experience with the escort or personal interaction with the agency's owners and associates instead of comprehensive agency reviews?

Hmmm,

Merlot

Hmmm - does this board have any agency reviews?

MERB does not have, and will not have, reviews of agencies posted here. If anyone wishes to comment on the service they received from an agency, they may do so in the content of their review of the SP.

Fairness

Just a couple of things. First off, what format might such a review take?

There seems to be a certain degree of hit and miss with bookings often beyond the control of the agency. This can result in misunderstandings and misdirected blame. Might be something that a reviewer has to work around.

There is no question that agencies share a certain degree of responsibility regarding delivery of service. My one concern here would be one of fairness. I have noticed that whenever an agency is taken to task by a member for a perceived slight or otherwise, objectivity, on the part of some members, is the first casualty. This sometimes happens with regular reviews of SP's but does seem to happen with Agencies as well. And the corollary to that is that agencies unlike SP's are more open to positive and negative shilling for personal gain, either on the part of a member or on the part of rival agency owners. The congregate effect is that often agencies with generally good reputations get a bum rap.

A couple of other issues. I find that sometimes when an agency is taken to task there are two scenarios: It is either on one particular issue either general or specific to one member or the comment is on a particular agency practice but the complaint is lacking in specifics (names places dates etc.) This is not to say that some agencies are generally blameless for a host of transgressions or a practice which is generally a negative for all. However these agencies tend to become known very quickly simply because there are fewer agencies than SP's and second because they don't move around and name change to any great degree.

Recently there has been some controversy over the unjustified censure by moderators of any criticism of a supporting agency. I must say that in truth I have found this to be rarely the case. In fact I can think of only one incident where I do have a concern. But on the whole many members are fast and loose with the facts. Now for an SP this kind of thing is not quite so critical due to the fact that members see the SP up close and personal and know right away if the criticism bears out. It is just a little too easy for a bum rap to turn into a board wide censure very quickly where agencies are concerned. I suspect that this might be the rational behind the MODS stepping in. And in addition it is very easy to note which agency owners scramble to do damage control because it is often done publicly here on the forum. That does seem to be the chief yardstick for many members.

Now this is my take on it. There maybe other members who share a few insights that I don't. But just to sum it up for me, I would be concerned that some protection for fairness might be built into the process.

What do you really know about the agency your calling besides the phone number and the guys first name who owns the agency? And your probably wrong about his first name...

where are they located? how do they find their girls? do the girls sit in the vehicle until they are booked or out an office somewhere?

As to the rest of your run on...can you rephrase your post so the regular guy here can understand what your trying to say?

Im reading hit and miss bookings, misunderstandings and working around what? What's to work around but getting unlawful carnal knowledge? Sex.

Delivery of service and taken to task and a casualty? We still talking about Sex? SP's are reviewed and their agency is mentioned...

Shilling goes on for SP's, agencys and the like...learn to read thru the bullshit.

Hello all,

I didn't think the "agency review", per se, was specifically covered in the board rules, so because it seemed like the issue might come up soon I thought it would be timely to get some feedback from the membership and a statement from the mods now. I don't think every situation or scenario has to be in play before some direction can be given about it. In my view the "agency review" has characteristics that have some legitimacy, but others that are ethically questionable. Getting feedback and official clarification now could spare all of us some unnecessary time and effort, as well as controversy.

Agreed!

My view is reviews should be from direct personal experience only. Within that scope there is a chance of accuracy and fairness. Even then we have all seen the difficulties of emotions, the variations of standards, the interplay of biases in several forms, and the interjection of suspicions. In my view for any single practicing hobby member to then presume to be fair on a much broader scope that also includes many areas beyond direct personal experience is presumptuous to say the least.

Then I just don't know what to call these "agency reviews". Are they critiques, promotions, advertisements, a menu of services? Some possibilities could be useful if they stopped at listing services, but the agencies do that. Others commending how well the agency works, how proficient their escorts are, the reliability of the appointments could be anything from a critique to a promotion, an advertisement, to shilling. But attempting to be comprehensive by assessing all the associated people, escorts, and operating elements of the agency the reviewer could not possibly be well informed on and without some sort of agreed upon standards with real fairness and reasonable accuracy, never mind any possible conflict of interest, is impossible, and makes such reviews faulted beyond usefulness.

Cheers,

Merlot

what we are all looking for...

How many here have read a review raving about the girls looks and service...only to have a dud? Probably 99% of you. So ask yourself...will an agency review fix this sitation? And besides, how many times can a poster review an agency?

Problem is this...you don't know who the reviewer is, what he likes, dislikes, his age, his sexual orientation, his weight...basically you don't know anything about the guy. What do you do? You read reviews...and when you find a poster who rates most of the girls you've seen pretty close to your own experience...and trust only those who pass this test.

What's my opinion? The boards, websites will never be enough to pick out the girls, for that you need to meet them in person before deciding.

Clearer?

What do you really know about the agency your calling besides the phone number and the guys first name who owns the agency? And your probably wrong about his first name...

True, if you have never been a member of a board where you have been able to research a little bit and come up with some kind of reasonable assessment based on a synthesis of all the relevant comments or pm's or both. Many members have.

where are they located? how do they find their girls? do the girls sit in the vehicle until they are booked or out an office somewhere?

Who gives a shit about this stuff? It's all about whether the girls are relatively reliable, the agency has some kind of discipline with them, in other words does, for the most part what an agency is expected to do.

As to the rest of your run on...can you rephrase your post so the regular guy here can understand what your trying to say?

I'll try to cover the main points in words of two syllables or less: When a member complains about an agency often it has to do with a misunderstanding between the agency and the client. It devolves into a he said /she said thing. And it is often human nature to see things from one's own point of view. So the facts get distorted. The agency is often at pains to explain how the member failed to get his message across or has to correct the facts then often offer some sort of redress. In the second case accusations are generalized and thrown around fast and loose. Example: “Oh yeah I tried one of their girls once. She was dirty. I wouldn't try that agency if I were you! I think the agency owner would be justified in being a little miffed at having the whole agency tarred with one brush. An agency has the right to expect names and specifics i.e constructive criticism.

Im reading hit and miss bookings, misunderstandings and working around what? What's to work around but getting unlawful carnal knowledge? Sex.

There have been documented occasions where clients booked an SP in good faith and the girl failed to show up for work for no valid reason. There is a strong likelihood that the agency owner and the booker are miffed as well as the client. Situations like this have to be made clear and blame not necessarily laid on the doorstep of the agency. So reviewers would have to work around stuff like this.

Delivery of service and taken to task and a casualty? We still talking about Sex? SP's are reviewed and their agency is mentioned...
I think I covered this above.


Shilling goes on for SP's, agencys and the like...learn to read thru the bullshit.

Yeah, you're right it does. But right now it tends to happen in SP reviews and for some it's a pain in the ass. Doesn't mean that they don't know how to read through the bullshit, as you put it. Personally I think that all we need is a review format literally begging the shillers to turn shilling into an art form. Maybe it wouldn't irritate you but it would me. And I'll state that here thanks.:rolleyes:

Yes clearly comparing agency reviews with SP reviews can seem like comparing apples and oranges. There is certainly a difference in complexity. I mean it could get to the point where agency reviews are dependent on how well the actions of the girls reflects on the agency. That would put them into an almost impossible situation in this business. Also to institute formal agency reviews might have mods tearing their hair out trying to walk the fine line between demanding fairness in the review and not stifling free speech on the boards in such a way as it was understandable to every member.

Just a final comment for me. I do think that if a format were to be agreed upon to ensure fairness that agency reviews are viable. No reason they shouldn't be if handled fairly and posters managed to avoid the pitfalls. They just might make a welcome addition to the general knowledge base which a board is able to provide. After all it's these little extras which encourage membership and participation.:)

Breadman,

There has been a large amount of wisdom imparted in your posts lately. You are obviously as experienced as anyone on this board, and people should listen to what you say because you bring a large amount of international experience as well as wisdom from that experience. I have not always agreed with you in the past, but I find myself doing so more and more as time goes on.

I recall back in 2005, a new SP for a well known agency received an awful review on MERB, which hurt her substantially and, in my view, somewhat unfairly. She admitted to me that the bad review stemmed mainly from the fact that she had gotten drunk that night, having gone to a social event previously (the March 2005 HDLM party). I almost didn't see her because of the bad review, but I was glad that I did, and ended up seeing her many times before she finally left the business. The bottom line is it is all YMMV and everyone ultimately has no guarantee that they will have a good time. Girls have good and bad days and that can also effect the review as well as the expectations of the reviewer going in.

I think that no matter how the agency answers the phone and talks to you, if they can't deliver the quality of girl you want to see who will give you the service you desire, it really means nothing. I'm sure that people will put up with a rude booker or a slow driver if they get the service they want from the lady they want at a price they're willing to pay.

The bottom line is that it's always the girls that matter. Besides, you can always review the agency's service when you review the girl. Reviewing an agency on it's own is like reviewing a restaurant and not mentioning the food.

When it comes to the boards, I think that agency reviews are a great way to make up for a lack of escort reviews. And I don't think I've noticed any lack of reviews on this board at least.:rolleyes:

Exactly what I was trying to say. What good is an agency review when basically all we want to know about are the girls...

Next thing ya know, they'll be reviewing massage parlours based on the quality of the sheets on the table.

plus you have a few contacts you can almost eliminate any bad encounters.

There's more to it than just eliminating the bad encounters. No matter how much kissing and talking before the action starts, you only have say 10 minutes to get to know the girl. You can't have a real girl friend experience without longer interaction before moving onto the sex part of the game.

Who here has been to one of those merb parties, met up with one of those hotties who attended...then had the chance to escort one back to your hotel room? The experience is unforgettable...same goes for meeting a hottie that you really connected with....but she's gone from the scene before you had the chance to do the deed. Same goes for the fkk clubs...being able to meet and interact with all the girls...then head off to the room right when the sparks are flying the highest.

Some good questions.............

How many here have read a review raving about the girls looks and service...only to have a dud? Probably 99% of you. So ask yourself...will an agency review fix this sitation? And besides, how many times can a poster review an agency?

No doubt that this has happened on occasion. Whether 99% would be pretty hard to determine. Whether an agency review would fix this situation or not remains to be seen. Rather I think the better question to ask might be how will agency reviews affect the level of service of any one particular agency? If a review does help to promote a better level of service within any one particular agency then it is worth it. Things like telephone courtesy, strategies to encourage more consistency of delivery of service among their SP's, a better level of response to customer concerns, greater care in the recruitment of their talent, greater truth in advertising, for example website photos. I am sure there are more. As to the number of reviews, you may be correct on that score. Reviews may need revision only periodically. Follow up comments may take care of short term updates.

Problem is this...you don't know who the reviewer is, what he likes, dislikes, his age, his sexual orientation, his weight...basically you don't know anything about the guy. What do you do? You read reviews...and when you find a poster who rates most of the girls you've seen pretty close to your own experience...and trust only those who pass this test.

You are correct here in the sense that agency reviews and follow up comments may only be as valid as the objectivity and personal preferences as the client posting them. But as in SP reviews veracity (truth) comes from the contributions of several not just one poster. If we accept this method for SP's why not for agencies.

What's my opinion? The boards, websites will never be enough to pick out the girls, for that you need to meet them in person before deciding.

No question that in the final analysis, as far as the SP herself is concerned, some aspects can only be settled upon meeting. The job of reviews is to see that conditions are such that members have the best conditions possible to ensure the success of that. And that would apply to reviews of agencies as well as SP's.

My only concern is with posters who are jerks or who may have a personal axe to grind. It is not fair to hang a bum rap on an agency in a case like this. Negative comments on SP's don't have legs because other reviewers who have seen them in person quickly quash these reviews. I suppose the same might be said for members here who have had excellent service from an agency. So perhaps my concerns are groundless. I do know that the blue board has begun an experiment in agency reviews and at present the reviews are objective, being done in good taste and offering a wealth of information for the newbie. I , for one, will be watching closely to see if the mods there can ensure that follow up comments are added in the same spirit. Should be interesting to see if it works out.:)

What does the law say?

What is the exact wording of the law in Quebec on the outcall escort scene? Specifically in relation to the agency's...

Canadian Prostitution Law

In addition to the communicating law, "bawdy houses" are prohibited (Criminal Code sections 210 and 211), as are procuring and living on the avails of prostitution of another person (section 212). Procuring and living on the avails are indictable offences carrying terms of up to ten years in prison (and in the cases of a person under 18, up to 14 years in prison). A common bawdy house is a place kept, occupied or used by at least one person for the purposes of prostitution or indecent acts. "Keeping" a bawdy house (section 210(1)) is an indictable offence liable to up to two years in prison. Being "found in" or an "inmate" of a bawdy house (Criminal Code sections 210(2) and 211) are summary offences carrying a maximum term of six months in prison and/or a $2000 fine (being a summary offence, the communicating law carries the same maximum penalties).

The living on the avails, procuring and bawdy house laws date back to Canada's first criminal code, as did the vagrancy provision which prohibited street prostitution. The vagrancy law was replaced in 1972 with the soliciting law which, in turn, was replaced by the communicating law.

While the activity proscribed by each law is relatively clear, the overall goal of Canadian prostitution law is not. Apparently it is not prohibition, otherwise the buying and selling of sexual services as such would be prohibited. However, the aforementioned criminal laws circumscribe prostitution in a way that makes it difficult to conceive how a person can prostitute without breaking the law. The practical solution to this contradiction is that, as long as it is off the street, laws against prostitution are rarely enforced. Indeed, most large municipalities facilitate the off-street trade by licensing and regulating it. And yet the rhetoric of Canadian politicians about prostitution is almost entirely abolitionist. The Canadian political solution to the problems created by prostitution has been to say one thing and do another.

The paper begins by briefly describing events leading up to the enactment of the communicating law, and then discusses attempts to control the prostitution industry since that time.

I was told years ago by a friend in Toronto that an agency could be found to be living under the avails...ie the bawdy house rule...IF they showed that they knew what was going on inside the room. That IF is shown by posting what the girl provides or telling you over the phone what the girl will do inside the room. A very popular agency in Toronto had to shut down after their lawyer confirmed that they had done enough to be convicted of the above. Is there a seperate law for prostitution for Ontario and Quebec?

So now, back to the agency review subject...
Rather I think the better question to ask might be how will agency reviews affect the level of service of any one particular agency?
For the last ten years or so, we've only been reviewing what happens in the room...what happens between consenting adults. Now some people thought of something new to talk about, but in reviewing an agency will they be in fact bringing undo attention towards said agency? Hey, Im not an expert...but i'll tell you this...there is one agency on this board that refuses to mention services that his girls provide...even in pm. Is he being discreet or avoiding entrapment?

Hello RG,

Here are some of the problems of writing a fair comprehensive agency review:

What aspects of agency performance must be included?

Can there be consensus on these aspects?

Can any single member be knowledgeable enough about all of these aspects?

Which members are even handed, without bias, conflict of interest, or self-serving agendas?

Can standards of assessment be agreed upon?

How much of what an escort or associates of the agency do can the agency be held responsible for?

I am sure there are more problems with making a comprehensive agency review. I don't think there is anyone who has enough accurate information or all of the qualities necessary to fulfill all the aspects necessary to make a fair agency review. Encounter reviews from first hand experience are subjective enough without trying to cover so much more.

Cheers,

Merlot

Oops! Box cleared!

Yes clearly there are some complexities. And of course when it gets a tad out of hand I would expect that the agencies begin to show a little too much white around the eye.:) I know that there is pressure on both board owners to quash this idea which kind of puts the owners between a rock and a hard place - not a good place to be when revenues are at stake. So right now I will be content to see how the experiment goes on the other board. So far seems to be working well and provides that little extra bit of promo for the agencies as well as helping out the newbies but it is still in its infancy. Time will tell eh?:)

Yes clearly there are some complexities.

Hello RG,

I have no wish to favor either the agencies, escorts, or clients. I just don't see how an agency review by a hobbyist can be comprehensive enough to be legitimate and useful or fair enough to be unbiased. Still, any purported "agency reviews" I have seen look far more like operation lists with brief assessments that have little or no basis of detailed information provided justifying the assessment. There are only brief very general statements. What I get out of it is an enlarged version of the typical tiny spreadsheet synopsis. The final product has partial elements of a review, promotion, operation synopsis, advertisement, expanded spreadsheet segment, and a slight air of shilling.

As you can see by this poll, as small as the vote is so far, the opinions are widely split between choices, and individual voters see different characteristics in the so-called reviews. In my view, they look more like an enlarged spreadsheet segment than anything else, not "Agency Reviews".

Cheers,

Merlot
