People who don't post reviews

[Merlot]

Hello all,

Jamn thanks for your comments.

Only two people can ever know what went on during an encounter, and even between them there will be a slight or larger difference in views of what occurred. As you indicated Jman, we all have varying perceptions on reality no matter how closely shared the experience may be. And don't forget that the qualities of a ladies' personality that many might find endearing can legitimately be viewed as poor or offensive by a few. That doesn't make any of the reviewers wrong, it just reflects the diversity of preferences and tastes between human beings. Remember that reactions to anything are a reflection of personal tastes. So, just because the details of a review and opinions of the encounter seems to be contrary to the known habits and multiple reports of any lady, it doesn't make the review suspicious automatically. Any lady can have a very bad day, or do things she far out of character she would probably usually never consider. We all know how much baggage gets carried into this hobby on all sides. For these reasons no reviewer should be seen as suspect, and no corroboration should be necessary for reviews that are basically a difference of opinion.

Cheers,

Merlot

On Merb? Tell me what happened to "Eleganza", period. Checking their schedule, i see that only 1 girl was working since last Thursday. I've never seen things being that slow at the agency since it first came about.

For the last while there seems to have been a solid flow of girls from eleganza to xxxtase, gof, devilish etc. It seems like Jon and Joe can't hold onto their girls. Its particularly weirder considering the girls make more money with eleganza than they do with Chris or Martin.

I don't think that's true any more. At least not since Eleganza went back to $180/hr.

Doc
the girls have said the same thing to me, also the drivers were not as flexable with picking them up when starting there shifts and dropping them off at the end of the shift.
If pre scheduling was the case then how do u explain Chris advertising pre booking for the week with Tracy, Brittany and sinn?

My post was geared more toward John leaving merb after many years... Due to?
The mods have the answers but are not sharing on the public board. I'm sure if all the rules were the same for all advertisers then John would still be advertising for eleganza on merb.

That's so funny, it's almost not funny!

Most, if not all advertisers who had to deal with Mods because of rules issues are still advertising here. For the fews that are gone, the cause were visible in public and it was evident they would leave.

John and Eleganza never had any rules issues as far as I can tell and, no matter what, the rules are the same for everybody.

Just guess what advertiser had plenty of "rules issues" on the board? They were all solved, to MERB satisfaction, with MERB rules, without fighting or threat to leave. I won't tell who it is but they are still here!

I say it again, the rules are the same for everybody.

Mod8;

Where can we meet?

I'll show all the proof's that this board IS controlled by Escort Agencies... now, if I prove it... will you let everyone know on this board?

I'll just put in a little "advance"...

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=209344&highlight=read+pm's

ALL your PM's are being monitored on this board... I also have the proof of that...

So Mod 8 where do we meet so I can PROVE this to you? The ball is on your side now... and if I am banned or REMOVED it will certainly NOT be good for MERB's reputation as I and many would consider this as a "cover" to the truth!

I don't know why no one else has commented on this but ... I would sure want to know how Escort Agencies are controlling this site.

Is it through their advertising revenues? Do they have a hand in appointing Mods or limiting their powers in some way? Expanded NRP and other similar policies restricting what can be posted? Recurring suspensions on first-time infringers who make an honest mistake (ie providing a link to an MP whom they have not met)?

Or is it something more technologically oriented?

No one else mentionned anything because there's nothing to mention.

Actually, I'm a mod since July and I am still surprised of how much liberty Mods have to run the board. Fred pays the bills and set the legal boundaries and besides this, we are in charge of how to run the board, with the member's feedback.

Proof of it is the latest change to the NRP by Mod 8. Mod 8 did the work, we discussed it and it was implemented. Fred was advised but didn't get involved.

As far as I know, Fred never got involved to revise a Mod's decision and never rejected a suggestion made by the Mod team as of who should be picked as a new Mod.

If Fred doesn't control us more than that, I wonder how an agency owner could?

For the PM stuff, this rumor exist since day one and this same rumor probably exist on all boards, escorts and cooking recipt boards included. It's a very easy accusation that comes out once in a while from peoples with agendas. Strangely, it never go to the proof level, it always stays as a rumor. The proof are always at arm's lenght but never readily available.

There is a huge difference between being able to do something and actually doing it. Any car can go to 150km/h but very few peoples will go that fast. Same with administrators reading the member's PM. Those who don't trust the administrators and mods should not waste time here and go elsewhere. Fred is swearing the PM are private and I have no reason to believe otherwise. Everybody who ever insinuated the opposite could never proove it either, all they could do is to say they had proofs.

Who cares? This thread has taken terrible turns on several occasions. This board is for advertising and posting reviews. I hope to god this board does not become over run with people's competing conspiracy theories about who runs merb.

John and eleganza do not advertise on merb. In fact they do, just very very rarely. But who cares anyway. John has trouble keeping his girls... yes it's partially because of the 1 week schedule he wishes to post in advance and yes it's partially because he doesn't pick up his girls where ever they may live. Fact of the matter is there is something else going on with John and that bloody agency. For some reason, EVERYONE leaves.

As far as him falling in love... it ain't the first time. I know 2 isolated stories about John falling in love with one of his girls and it turning out sour. John appears to be 'friends' with his girls while they work for him. Perhaps he has difficulty separating work from pleasure. This to me sounds like a more interesting topic then 'who really controls merb'. I mean we might as well talk about Star Trek.

I don't believe there is anything to Eleganza not advertising on merb. They sell out every night. They don't need merb. The bigger problem is why can't he hold onto his talent. And why doesn't he adapt in order to keep his girls. If his girls don't like the scheduling, you don't need a Harvard business degree to know... change the f***ing scheduling John!

Lets try to keep this thread on its initial and interesting course rather than clutter it with Star Trek-like bs.

I noticed a negative change in John's attitude towards customers early last year and mentioned it to Leah during a 3 hour appt. Her comment was as follows: "he fell in love".

Again? Lol.

SPK,

LOL, what can I say? The guy has got it good. He's surrounded by beautiful women everywhere in his life. Can you imagine living in his shoes for even a day?

Hello CS,

If they are all leaving then it's far from being like the fantasy situation you imply.

I have been told by ladies about owners who insist they get free samples or they don't get appointments. Don't know if John does that , but put together his famously lousy attitude and the fact that John is all for John with other possibilities and the reason for the exodus comes into focus.

Cheers,

Merlot

I asked Gianna about this claim and she denied ever being asked for this. I don't have this in writing, but from personal interview with her.

Gianna...What a wonderful wonderful lady!!

Thing is she doesn't seem the "type" to be taken advantage of in that way, therefore that person probably didn't put forth the effort with her as much as he might with a more naive gal, she probably would've kicked his ass anyway. LOL.

Mod 11 -- thanks very much for taking the time to provide a detailed reply. I imagine that the poster who claims to possess incontrovertible evidence about this site's alleged flaws, knows how to reach you.

As a matter of not just acting fairly but appearing fair, I think that so long as Mods have the freedom to implement policies that enhance our posting experience, by allowing the free flow of information that appears to be of the non-shilled variety, then we all stand to benefit.

This whole business about not providing links about non-visited MPs kind of hampers our ability to get immediate info. More often then not, I find myself performing searches on sites that aren't always user-friendly or which involve searching in many different categories, before the intended subject is found.

A few years ago, we didn't have this policy and things worked quite well. It felt like a review site. Now, it feels as if the advertisers on this site are casting a huge shadow on how information is being exchanged. And yet ... they have their own forums and threads and plenty of space to express and promote themselves. Why not leave the regular forums to the regular chumps and allow the posting of links so we all put an end to these useless intellectual gymnastics. Seriously, what harm would it do? We waste so much time posting information about how to find a link, and most posters still can't figure out if they can post a link or not.

Plus, suspending posters who provide a link further to making an honest mistake about this policy, casts a unnecessarily negative shadow on our posting experience.

Every reviewer who is put off or suspended due to the no-link-posting policy, will simply not bother contributing reviews to this site. And then people wonder why so few people post reviews.

Why not offer a welcoming climate and put an end to suspensions for posting links? If someone is not a shill, then why be so harsh? Please see if the no-link policy can be removed once and for all. It would go a long way, in my humble opinion.
