I agree. Mike is a real stand-up guy and this shows he backs up what he represents. Good for him.
Why anyone would ever want to advertise anything on that amateur site is beyond me. It can only hurt their business. I mean, seriously? :lol:
Mike's post has now been translated by the boards so-called French Ambassador. The "Ambassador" must have gotten a short paycheck this week as he neglected to translate the last paragraph, the one where Mike said he was out of there.
OK, I tried to use Google Translate to understand Mike's post (and we all know what a poor job Google does at that). What I gather is that another escort review board posted an SP's picture (showing her face) against her will, and refused to accomodate her wish to remove that picture, causing Mike to remove his advertising on said board. Did I get that right?
Hello Mike,
I hope you don't mind the posting of this translation and I hope that it is accurate:
well, that sucks !!
There are maybe some things you haven't thought of, guys. True, the fact that you're identifying girls with their face pics
is dangerous. you're exposing them to risks. not everyone is good and sweet. I'll tell you something that will make you think
and you'll understand quickly.
would you like it if : people you don"t know find out that you walk around with a pile of cash in your pockets ? thieves can be
anywhere, can't they ? so imagine a defenseless girl, isn't it dangerous for her ?
would you like it if : your wife finds out you're seeing escorts because she saw your pic on a board where you're identified as the best client and best lay, yes or no ? don't you think the girls have boyfriends ?
would you like it if : you're a well renowned professional and that your double life is accessible to all your clients and colleagues ? would you still have the guts to hit on the secretary ? especially if you're married loll
girls who have no problem showing their face are naive and expose themselves to danger and risk that their past catches up with them in the future.
don't you have secrets you want to keep hidden ? I'm sure you do.
so if Kim asks that her pic has her face censored it must be important to her just like your wife, family and friends, and not to mention your colleagues, right ?
I'm not asking the question because I already know none of you would want to be identified, AREN'T WE SUPPOSED TO BE IN A DISCREET WORLD FOR AN ELITE AND DISCREET CONSUMER, YES OR NO ?
think about it guys ... I see it differently in the role I have. I must think first and foremost of the security of the girls who trust me. and I understand that you're thinking about your pleasure but my comment is here to give you a different perspective.
so after thinking and re-thinking about what's going on here "showing the girls' face" and not removing when the girls asks is a lack of respect and professionalism. I'm uneasy with this type of practice. and I'm removing myself as an advertiser here. thanks steve for allowing me to advertise but the network goes too far and I will not endorse this and refuse to contribute again here for these reasons. Good luck, friend, but it will be without me, goodbye !!

Mike. Thanks for standing up for the escorts, and all of us.

Mike4u: i have big respect for you...i appreciate your professionalism with clients and ladies, and your fair play.
But you have to be more precise: the face photo on the other board you decided to quit is posted ONLY when it has been PREVIOUSLY posted on the net. It is something like a memory....
And IF THE GIRL ASKS, the photos can be deleted or removed.
In that terms, for me it still clear and fair!
We can continue in PM with anyone want to.

Hello everyone,
I have allowed this thread to exist as it deals with an important subject, the posting of images of providers without their permission or knowledge. This is one of the reasons we do not permit images to be posted on MERB, other than advertisers in their advertising posts and in certain sections such as Sports. We would never permit the posting of the image of a SP by anyone other than an advertiser. Here on MERB, we will remove any picture upon request of the lady in the photo. We have done this in the past with SP who have retired and made such a request, whether a face was showing or not. This always has been and will remain MERB policy.
DM. Goya,
I have followed the situation on the other board very closely and what you post here is inaccurate. In fact they have gone to great depths to specify that the images will NOT be removed upon request and one SP in particular had to fight to have her picture removed. You must also take into consideration that it is likely that many of the ladies who have had their full face picture posted there are completely unaware of it. Posting such pictures is irresponsible and can result in serious personal consequences for the lady, both today and in the future. I suggest that anyone who finds themselves in this situation contact a lawyer if the photos are not removed upon request.
Any member who believes this practice is fine, should ask themselves how they would feel if a provider was to start a blog and post the faces of the members who posted those images. I do not believe that anyone would be very happy about that situation.
Finally, as this discussion does not concern any situation on MERB and we have a policy not to discuss the business of other boards here on MERB, I will allow this topic to remain open until 10 PM today at which time it will be closed. I see no reason to give any free publicity to a board where there is such a lack of respect for the ladies in this business but I will allow member some time to have their say on the matter.

I dealt with Mike at the other agency where Iris was boss. They did show face pictures, although I think the faces of some girls were somewhat blurred (I really don't remember), and Girls4U has not.
After reading the reason, I have to agree with Mike. It is a dangerous and perverted world with a lot of nasty people who really don't care who they hurt. Plus, the young women need to think about their family and friends if they were to find out. Therefore, I can appreciate that he is looking out for his girls.
But it is interesting that many other agencies are doing the same. I can be pleasantly surprised. Plus, most reviewers on merb are honest on looks.

Daydreamer41,
There is a difference between an agency posting pictures of a girls face where they have control over said pictures and seeing full face pictures posted on a website where they are not under the control of the agency or the SP and will not be removed at anyone's request, no matter the circumstances.
As I mentioned in my earlier post, we always work with providers in regards to their images on MERB. There have been a number of times in the past when a SP or agency has contacted us to remove all images of her from old advertising posts upon her retirement. Even though this can be quite an undertaking at times, going through dozens and sometimes hundreds of posts to remove the photos manually, these requests have always been granted and the images were removed. SPs should always have the right to control where their image is posted on the Internet and we will always do our best to help them out whenever possible.
To everyone,
Some people may be wondering why this situation has been so late in being discussed on MERB. The reason is twofold. First of all, we prohibit discussion of other boards and members of those boards who are not in a position to reply here due to the fact that they are banned on MERB and no longer in a position to reply. Second of all, the board in question is a very small board with extremely limited membership. The most viewers that board has had at one time is the 'huge' number of 35 with a general average of under 10 people, members and guests combined, on line at any given time. This limited the exposure these images were given.
That being the case, we saw no reason in bringing this up which would possibly have had the result of many members running over there to check out the pictures. Instead of a small handful of people seeing the images, this may result in much larger exposure for the SP who are unfortunate enough to have their faces posted there. We have no interest in helping them promote their misogynist agenda.
With all that being said, the matter was due to come up here and now that it has, it has to dealt with. While I previously stated that I would be closing this thread I feel that would be the wrong thing to do. The cat is already out of the bag so to speak and this needs to be discussed by all members who wish to make their views known. While I am sure many people are now curious, I encourage members not to search out this board or these images. This will only aid their cause.
Finally, I find myself in the highly unusual position of congratulating the members of our competition, merc, including one member of both boards, Shijak, and the fight they have conducted against this situation on their board. They have openly discussed this situation and exposed it long before it was brought up here and they have done a hell of a good job. :thumb:

I certainly would not congratulate trolls for anything. They're against. The owner is himself a troll. Just happened they were against something you happen to be against also. I have a higher consideration of this board's members. Trash is not admitted here. We all know it's possible to witness trash on other boards and, as a matter of fact, all over internet. They were making trash out of the new trash board. Nothing to applaud for.
I couldn't have said it better myself, gugu. Their actions were not taken in the interest of the girls, but in the interest of trolling. Shijak, whom I know to have a good heart, is the notable exception. AS I don't look at merc, I don't know who else was involved, but I can only imagine it was the usual collection of sociopaths and sycophants.

Whatever the motives of certain posters, they did bring the situation into the spotlight and there were certain posters, Shijak in particular, who I believe do have the best intentions in regards to the safety of the ladies who have been put in possible danger due to this practice. In my opinion they deserved to be commended for their actions. Your opinion may differ and you are entitled to it. I do not pretend to represent the opinions of all members of MERB, just my own.
This is not the thread to bring up any disagreements or wars between the boards as it takes the focus away from the real issue which is the posting of full face photos of SPs without their knowledge or permission. This issue is more important than any personal bad feelings between boards or members and anyone who speaks out against this practice will have my support no matter which board they belong to.

EDIT: I must add however that I am disheartened to see how their moderation has permitted such a serious topic to be derailed by Tony in his usual attempt to put the spotlight on himself and make a farce of the problem. Sad.

Hello Gugu,
The new board's purpose was to provide all the private information that could be found and pursue any rumor regardless of validity, responsibility, or harm. The board's leader has stated he doesn't care what anyone thinks...several times. It's a board of utter selfishness. I took a look, then decided to stay away from the kind of irresponsibility that board was promoting.
However, I wonder about how different the others boards are from the above? Here such trash is kept from being public. But we all know there is a pipeline system of backdoor private information, rumors, and personal agendas operating. Some have boasted about it, some have gone far enough to leave brief public notices indicating unpublishable "stuff" in hand that can be shared by PM.
I'm glad this board tries to be very responsible and respect the rights and wishes of others. It's just too bad there are those misusing it behind what is public.
I've met Shijak a few times. We also exchanged views on this issue. Everything I've known about him has shown he's genuine and concerned person doing more than many would consider.
As for the bluebirds, I guess they are still stroking themselves over their stuff in their troll support clique, but it's been November since I could know. Whatever they think they contributed is probably little more than the habit of being baiting pests.
But, I'd like to thank Mike4u again for taking actions that have impact as an advertiser, and hope all others will follow his lead as it protects the ladies rights and security.
truly,
Merlot
