One of the biggest challenges that I've observed over the years is the number of "411" threads on a specific person. There are times we could have anywhere from 3-12 on a single person! This could happen for different reasons... such as someone not knowing how to use the search function or the provider had changed their name.
When we eventually launch the new review site, when a new item is added... a forum topic will automatically be created for that place/person. It will have a subject of:
[ Category ] Item Name
So for example, it might look like:
[ Escort ] John Doe
The first post inside of that topic will contain fields from the review (I can pick which fields get brought over so not all may be posted). The goal will be that the topic will become the master topic about discussion about that item (person/place).
Over time... if we see information that changes about the item, people will be able to report it so that it can be updated. So if an escort changes their name for example, someone would report that record and provide the new name. A moderator will be able to update the item. They'll also be able to add the old name to a special field called "Former Names". This will let us to better track those who change their names from time to time.
Inside the review record, it might look something like:
If other things change, that can be updated in the record itself.
All of the detail from that record anytime it is edited would also sync to the master thread and edit the first post in it with the updated info, including the topic title if there was a a name change involved.
Now... I'm going to put this out there now that moderators may from time to time not publish a name change in the "Former Names" field. If we have reason to believe there is a risk to the person or there is another legitimate reason, we may update the name field only without adding the old name to the former name field.
This will hopefully allow the first post to contain all of the latest known info about each item as it gets changed over time without needing to update 500 places. If it works out the way I'm hoping, this will become the "source of truth" about the item and people can comment over time with their own observations, etc. The topic itself would not be used for reviews. (That's what the review system is for.) But general discussion about the person would happen there.
Eventually if someone does post a new thread about someone where a master topic exists, the moderators may end up merging that post into the master.
This is obviously not in place yet. I'm just tossing the idea out there now so folks have a chance to comment on it and get used to the idea.
I debated where to put it but his description primarily says Massage so I put it here. I'm asking some questions via RM direct message so maybe replies will tell.
He's already said his rate and it sounds more like a Deli rate. Then again, he puts in ALL CAPS that he's only interested in GENEROUS clients. It's a put-off but the pix are appealing.
Natural progression, they run out of clients in their home market and then they start to travel around. He made it to Tampa. At least he no longer promises "erotic" or "sensual." Yeah, he is hot, but I recommend staying away. There are few things more demeaning than being told "now you can finish yourself" by someone eager to overcharge you for a massage but at the same time disgusted to touch you. I am so over being massaged by these straight Russian & other Eastern European dudes.
PS I just checked another thing, and it gets weirder and weirder. He seems to be traveling with another guy who has 2 profiles on masseurfinder and goes by Joshua or Philip. Anndy covers rentmasseur for the "team," and he carefully avoids checking the type of the massage he offers. I am not sure what the deal is but this is even more reason to stay away.
