Here is what I need to see if you would like to see your review approved. You can review the same girl to get credit, as long as you wait 90 days between reviews. Anything less and it will be rejected. Obviously when you leave fields blank, the review gets rejected. Here's some more tips....

Title: Review: I would like to see the name of the girl and the name of the establishment.
Date: You can say the date, you can say today or yesterday, or the day of the week if you are referring to the current week. I won't credit a review written for a session that took place over 30 days ago.
Address: We need to know where to go. If this is too vague to figure out how to find the girl, I'll reject it. If you have reasons for not being specific, then you need to give us enough info to figure out how to find her
Phone: Make it easy for the reader, please. Put a phone number in this field.
City: Don't leave it blank. Put the city.
State: Need to put the state in this field.
Activities: If extras took place during your session, it goes here. Use acronyms or spell it out. I don't care. If no extras took place, then indicate that. Legit massage only? That's fine...but put that so we know.
Age Estimate: Give your best guess.
Ethnic background: Again, if you know for sure put it, if not give your best guess. if you have no idea but you know she's Asian, then put Asian.
Physical Description: Don't put "She's hot!" or "She's beautiful!" and leave it at that. Readers are using your info to determine if the girl is a match for what they are looking for. Describe her. Height, weight, Long hair, short hair, hair color, face description, breast size and description. Body type, any tattoos, Shaved or bush, or whatever paints the picture for the reader.
Summary: This field is visible to ANYONE who stumbles across the site. ANYONE. Logged in members can see it, people browsing the internet with no membership at all can see it, everyone can see it. Keep that in mind and give an overall summary of your experience. Save the juicy stuff for the "Private Details" field, which is only visible to those who earned that access by contributing their own reviews. But you can still use this field to talk about the establishment, ease of scheduling, the choice of girls and how you chose the girl you ended up seeing, and whether you were satisfied with the overall session or not.
Private Details: This section needs to include the stuff that you might not want to broadcast to the general public. Most seasoned reviewers use a 'short story' format to explain what took place from scheduling, parking, going in, choosing the girl, interacting with the girl, shower experience if there was one, massage details if that took place, and a description of anything more intimate if something like that took place during your time together. Share observations that you think might be important to someone trying to decide if this is the girl they want to see or not. Talk about all the activities that took place and go into as much detail as you are comfortable with. All writing styles are welcome. Some people like to use graphic detail that reads like a romance novel. Others use eloquent prose. All of it's fine here. What I will reject, however, is a LACK of detail. I will train my moderators to look at the reviews as if they are a fellow reader trying to decide for themselves. I want them to ask themselves "Did this review provide enough detail that I was inspired to go see the girl based on the content provided?" That should tell you enough right there what I'm looking for. A sentence or two isn't enough to be approved. You don't have to write a book for us, but you need to submit something that tells the staff that you put forth an effort to contribute something worthwhile for the readers. Something of value. That's what it takes.
Recommendation: Need to make a recommendation. Yes or No is sufficient.

Very helpful guidance! I agree with Wayne1250's suggestion, too.

One item I do find problematic is "Activities: If extras took place during your session, it goes here. Use acronyms or spell it out. I don't care. If no extras took place, then indicate that. Legit massage only? That's fine...but put that so we know."

Do we really want things like "HJ", "CBJ" and "FS" listed in what's the public section? Many spas are very cautious with offering extras, but will open up after one or more visits. Listing the "Activities" where anyone can see them puts those spas and specific girls in jeopardy, IMO. I agree that a review should include a list of those activities, but I think it'd be sufficient to require that those activities be listed in the "Private Details" section.

I agree with Wayne1250 and Spa1123. Activities ought to be under Private Details section. Now, as for Physical Description related to breast size,shaved, bush should also be listed in Private Detail section. Last, there is a specific parlor that I know of and have not tried that parlor yet does not want their address advertised. If the OP skipped the address and the AR rejected the OP's review, so be it. On the flip side, if the OP put the address against the parlor's wish, the AR will probably approve the review and put the specific parlor in bind. I am sure someone will make a better suggestion.

Top Jimmy said the goal is to help members find the place. To me that could include something general with a website which says how to find the place. Also, some places will only give out the address on the phone after you make an appointment. This helps eliminate walkin's which can be problematic in many ways.

In Philly, there is one specifically but in NYC there are many that have a general location published that require a two caii system. Arrive at general location then call to get address. Once at the door, call to get buzzed in.

Provisions have to be considered to honor their privacy concerns, these place usually require some type of verification process and are not open to walk ins. Security is more and more a big issue.

I know another place that has a website but it is not easily found in any way on line. They prefer to only give it out to their customers. This just another of a spa's preference to stay a little more on the down low.

Most all customers honor their spas' or venues' preference not to release certain information.

Just shows you that one rule doesn't fit all situations.

TopJimmy: I think I might have just posted a review that is in conflict with the information you have listed above. As a brand new member, I didn't know the setup for this forum. My review is in the "Review: JoJo GFE @ Asian Lassie - 646-578-2778" thread. You may want to pull it off the board if it violates policy. Sorry for the confusion!

I think that acronyms and gory details should absolutely go in the private section. Also, any comments providing acronyms and details should require a log in. I was reading about BBFS a few weeks ago when I wasn’t even logged into the site. That’s not good.
I mentioned that on another thread that I did the same thing you did. The discussion thread was the worst part that exposed the acronyms without logging in.

I have a very liberal approach toward approving reviews. This is a national board, however each area of the country does have it's own flavor and do's/don'ts.

This board is gonna cater to YOU, the members...and not the Spas, however I wouldn't want any of you to put any of your favorite spas in an uncomfortable predicament based on public revelations here. Content and effort are the 2 key words I take most consideration toward when looking over your reviews. I want to see that you provided valuable content to the reader and I want to see that you put more than a shit's bit of effort into your review. A well written account that says "See the Private Details section for info on Activities" and a thorough description of what took place in the details will far more likely get approved than one with a detailed list, but about a sentence or two to describe what took place.

I have faith everyone will get used to it. I have yet to have very many people complain about a review I rejected. And frankly, the only complaints I've received were ones from reviews I had rejected but since they were still in public view members thought I had approved it, when it was a piece of garbage.

I listen to the pulse of the members. Those complaints got me to have a coder add a new rejection selection that will basically remove the reviews that were left incomplete, duplicates and all that stuff.....should help to clean up the forums.

At this point though, what I need from you. (all of you) is to get familiar with the reporting mechanism on this board. I'm slow to get to everything but once it's reported I WILL DEFINITELY get to it, so with that said, any garbage you encounter be sure to report it to me with backstory if necessary so I can make the best decision.

By the way, Oracle seems to be kicking ass. He took a couple days off so there's a backlog today but he's been keeping the reviews current..which means he's a hell of a lot better than I am.

Members---it's you that are making this board a success. Only a few months in and we have over 5,000 members and we are growing with leaps and bounds.

Please recognize this---if there's anything slowing down the growth of this board right now it's me. Yeah, it's me. I'm not fast at anything, but I listen to everything and I have a list of every recommendation ever given to me, so if any of you are wondering if NJ will ever expand for example, or any of the other recommendations you guys have given to me, the answer is YES. Thank you so much for being patient with my old slow ass. This family....the ARnet family, ROCKS!!!

I agree. I was reading one thread and the guy flat out mentions he got that from one of the girls. Not right at all.

Another suggestion. It may be more work for TopJimmy and/or Oracle. Example: I posted a review meeting the AR guidelines and it was approved. The respondents under my review will say something. Some may be relevant to the review. Some may not be relevant to the review. Can AR review the respondent's comment under my review for rejection if it is not relevant to the review?

As far as names, I rarely ask for names. I have in too many instances asked for a name and was told "no longer here" or "who". I feel most of the ladies change their names weekly/monthly or just move on after awhile anyway.

I always get their name, in fact usually I make an appointment for a specific girl even if it my first time with her or first time at a spa. Because good research is important.

TopJimmy - congratulations on building a site that looks like it is on the verge of really taking off.

I do have a suggestion that may ease your load. Stop requiring that a member posts a review to see private content. I understand you want to encourage reviews and you want to keep sensitive content private. But what I see happening is that in busy places like Manhattan, guys are reviewing the same places over and over. Of course this is happening because in order to see the good stuff, you need to post reviews. But guys are going to have a hard time keeping up. There's page after page with reviews of the same place and the same girls at those places.

I've been on boards like BGFE, SH, and TER for over 10 years, so I know there are many ways to do it. TER was built around a directory that made it easy to search for girls, so it made a lot of sense to incentivize members with free access to the good stuff by writing reviews. But board software doesn't do such a good job at searching.

Maybe you could set the bar to 20 posts to see reviews? Or 20 posts/month, even better?

In any event, just a suggestion because I see you're having a hard time keeping up with the approvals for reviews and the NY section is showing a lot of the same girls over and over.

Yes! On SpaHunters, NOTHING was visible unless you were logged in.

And dopes here who follow up someone's review with comments like "yeah, I got a handy from Coco (or whoever) and then I fingered her" are defeating the whole purpose of the Private details.

In the end, we are just killing the golden goose we have all come to rely on. :(
