I don’t have a problem with someone not posting a review
Then why restrict access to reviews and why all this vitriol for lurkers who do not impact your hobbying in any way.
1. There are those out of town dudes and even locals sometimes who come on and just ask a shit load of questions. Where do i stay, air b n b or hotel?, which is the best agency? Do I tip or not? How much if so?
I just think if you ask all these questions and people come out and help you out, you kinda owe it to the community to reciprocate with a trip report.
If you feel that they owe you a review, then don't answer those questions. You clearly view your knowledge and time to be so valuable that you must get a return on investment. Since that can never be guaranteed, why not just ignore those request? I answer those questions despite their repetition and the fact that they have been answered before because 1) I like welcoming new participants to the greatest city in North America for mongering and 2) I like to make conversation.
Maybe me who answers your questions can benefit from info from your trip? Dudes just come and ghost sometimes, lol. I think it does hurt the community. And it is a community, not just of SP’s, but of hobbyists/johns/fuckers or whatever you wanna call the other half. Clients have rights too we have a place in all this as well.
Rights? Now you have a RIGHT to their information? Do you imagine a cause of action in small claims court for the poster who gets advice from you on tipping and does post a review? You have no rights. No one who posts a restaurant review on Yelp has a right to or for anything from any other Yelp reader.
I’m not advocating blocking all access to lurkers who don’t review. You can be a merb member and have access to certain sections on the forum, just not reviews, unless you contribute. Or if you want, have limited access, like a review section for non-regular/active members. Like blocked access to the detailed review but access to a short synopsis that says “pics are accurate, had great time, will repeat and recommend.”
Reviews are the important content of MERB. You know - its in the title: montreal escort REVIEW board. You can dress it up any way you want to - what you are proposing is making yourself and the special people group the gatekeeper of the core content. I keep going back to the same question which has yet to be answered: How does a lurker impact your life in any way other than your own preoccupation with them - they don't cost you any money; they don't impact your ability to book the providers you want. You are looking for a problem that doesnt exist.
