If everyone would follow the right procedures and regulations it would be so much better but everyone wants to do what they want. Searches would be much easier, and easier to figure out what provider does what activities.
My last couple of places there have been signs up about posting reviews on here on other sites.
My latest spa has signs up about “please don’t rate us on socials. And I’m okay with that. I’ve never been shorted on my time while there

I might be in the minority but I think a bit of shilling was going on in relation to 785. The same guy wrote the same reviews over and over. All the girls loved him...she came twice....I humped her into oblivion....etc. And the longest reviews of all time. I have no complaints about any of the mods.
I am against shilling but it’s something I don’t fully understand?
Why would anyone want the place they obviously like a lot (regardless of whether or not they are being compensated for reviews) want the place to get busier and busier so they don’t have the same access as they used to. 785 or Gold being case in point.
Just a few months ago you could walk in at 9am at either place and be sure to have your pick of the girls. Now at 9am there’s a line out the door. I just don’t get it?
When I give a review it’s not to give the spa more business. It is so I can
a) brag and get an ego boost and
b) keep open private details section for a little longer.

You are doing great with the fresh start.
I would say clear the plate as you've done is good.
The required moderation should be
1. Hate speech (racist, etc) and anything under-18 related. This should be no tolerance. just saying this to avoid the "say anything you want" problem later.
2. trolls who just wants to come into someone's thread to thread crap. They can write their own review for sure vs. saying baseless things.
Also, something I believe happened in the past. The system can track IP addresses and as many of us are using VPN to secure our wifi connections, we may appear to come from the same IP and triggered some moderation rules (automatically? or manual). his one is difficult to balance as you do want to make sure it's unique people but VPN will automatically group people say using Private Internet Access VPN as "one" if they are all on the NY node.

785 was banned right after I wrote a review. It was not a great review of the place as I complained that they kept me in a supplies room for 20 minutes and then Selena fell asleep on me. Go figure. I can tell you that I spent time outside waiting for the traffic to stop, many guys going in and out constantly, it was unreal. Sometimes two at a time. This was my first time at the place as I don't like going to Passaic, I have no excuse to be there if something happens, I cannot justify it. NNJ-Ex
I have no basis to say that you were or were not banned because of VPN usage. What we all know is that rAMPage was left to his own "sicko" designs to ban whoever he wanted, whenever he felt the "urge" and in his own "unstable" manner. See where I'm going here? Thankfully, someone with sense and decency came back to right the ship. Although, an apology from management for allowing this guy to curse out members might be nice.
I think it’s evident how the staff, one in particular, were approaching the task of banning people….and it certainly had nothing to do with VPNs grouping members together on one IP.
I’m the first to encourage VPN usage for your own security. With that said though, I’ve got a number of measures at my disposal to use to determine whether someone is using multiple handles or not. IP address is just one of a handful of them. IP can’t be used single handedly to identify abuse, but when numerous tools point to it, then it can be determined beyond a shadow of a doubt. So, for those who like to partake in a little multiple handle Tom-foolery, don’t go pumping your chest out too much thinking you’re all clever and shit because you think you’ve avoided detection. Because you haven’t. That’s just not that high on my list of priorities and I don’t want the mods going around wasting their time trying to investigate that kind of stuff. If it falls in our lap, we will address it. If it becomes a big major problem, we will correct it…..but we’ve got bigger fish to fry than that stuff.
Now, also…..for anyone out there looking for an apology from me for things that took place on this board prior to my return,…and I’m just speaking frankly here (something you will surely come to appreciate) I would say don’t hold your breath on that. Ain’t gonna happen. You can consider what I’ve done over the past week or so and what I will continue to do to steer this ship in the right direction as a symbolic apology if you’d like, because that’s the best you’re gonna get.
We are grown men right? We pick up and we move forward. No looking back. You can’t see in front of you if you’re looking in the rear view mirror.
I appreciate your participation and contributions to this board. You appreciate how I’m gonna run this place going forward. Both boxes checked.
Have an awesome day

And once again .Find a post that gave any good feedback to anyone who worked there that was even a iota different from any review. Oh Wait, every review in the old days were fake. As a matter of fact, all those accounts were banned for asking for no reviews or no address on line. Thats a retarded way to get business .
my or account got banned, and I have no idea why. it was a relatively new account with only three reviews. I tried to log in one day, only to get the "you've been banned for violating TOS" message. I assume it was because of commenting on 385 spa reviews (or whichever spa it was) after I did a little detective work, but I have no idea. when I joined with the original account, there were an awful lot of rules to try and track down, with a lot of aggression expressed by rampage. I just got this account accepted, and I'm hoping to avoid any issues. if I misstep, it would be nice to get a warning (unless it is an extreme misstep) before I am banned entirely. I'm looking through my old account posts to answer questions people placed to me that I was unable to answer. I hope that is not an issue
