I actually saw him on my last trip to NYC towards the start of Feb.  I was up there for a work meeting.  The hotel I was staying at happened to require a room key to get to the upper floors.  It just so happened that one of my coworkers arrived a few minutes before he did to check in.  That coworker stopped to talk with me for a few minutes.   
When he arrived, he saw me...  nodded slightly and moved over to the elevators out of the way/sight until I was finished.  
So he was able to "read the room" well and once upstairs, we had a fantastic time.  Very sexy and friendly.  No problem at all with communication and lots of fun.  
Would see him again without a second thought.  

This person has comes around once a month or so using a different email account and blows up any thread mentioning his username attacking members.  For example…
(This does not include dozens of messages removed that violated our community guidelines.)
He submits dozens of reports on ANYTHING he does not like said and then submits another dozen messages threatening to sue the site, etc.  My last message to him was that we would no longer discuss this matter with him as he was unable to hold a reasonable conversation and that if he felt there was a legal case to be made that we would discuss it only with his lawyer.  Even though he’s threatened to sue us for months now, I have yet to have a lawyer contact us.  
There are now about a half dozen accounts of his banned and his emails/contact us messages are automatically now deleted without ever being seen.  If/when he pops up again, we will simply flag it as a spam account which bans it and removes ANYTHING ever posted by that account.

That would be the “Did They Match Description (Rate of 5 stars)”  
Please keep the suggestions and feedback coming!  This is new for the spa… I want this to actually be useful!

I don't know if folks saw my teaser in the Lounge for the new review site, but with the new system we will have the capability to have multiple categories of things to review.  This will include things such as:
 
Inside of each category will be items (either a person or a place).  It's basically the thing being reviewed.  Each item depending on what category that it is in can have a set of questions/fields associated with it.  This allows us to ask different questions for each type of item being reviewed.  
Within each item will be the ability to have reviews.  Again, since different categories can have different types of needs, I can create different questions for the reviews themselves.  Think of the reviews as descriptions of the encounter.  You will have an item (aka the masseur) and then the item will have reviews that describe member's encounters.
Given the progress that is being made with the new review site, I'm ready to start figuring out what information we want to collect.  This is where I need your help!
I need to collect both the types of categories we want and what questions would be in the category.  For example:
ITEM INFO
Contact Info
Ad URL Phone Email Website Physical Info
Age Ethnicity Height Weight Body Build Style Massage
Type (Sports, Deep Tissue, Erotic, etc) Experience (years) Location (In-call, Out-call, etc) REVIEW INFO
Location (City, State, Country) Date of Encounter Session Type (In, Out, etc) Session Length Rate (Price ranges...  100-199, 200-299, 300-399, etc) Would You Hire Again (Rate of 5 stars) Did They Match Description (Rate of 5 stars) Lived Up To Expectations (Rate of 5 stars) Review Details (A text box similar to replying to a post to free-form describe your experience.) I need to do this for both individual masseurs and for spas.  I would anticipate there would be different things you would want to know about a spa versus someone who is freelance. Let me know the types of info you think are critical to ask about both the item (person) and about the encounter itself.

OK... we don't normally post about moderator/admin actions, but I wanted to close the loop on this as it may effect other's hiring decisions...  I believe StarGZ/VictorXX are the provider, hungivyleaguexl.  In addition to these two accounts, I've associated them with 5 other accounts registered today that have been used to spam the forums.  
I believe these accounts were all created to promote/defend the provider.  I've removed all of the new accounts and in the process of hiding all of the spam messages posted by these two accounts.  Any content these two accounts post going forward will be hidden by default and subject to review by the moderators.  The only reason I have not flagged StarGZ and VictorXX as spammer accounts is that it would delete ALL content they've ever posted.  I feel their comments are worth leaving in this locked thread so that others can make their own judgement calls.
I also realize that the provider has had legitimate hires from within this community...  including several folks who are long term members of this site.  I don't discount those are real and positive interactions.  However I don't appreciate having to spend an hour of my day cleaning up hundreds of posts so that someone can try to use the site to artificially promote themselves.  

So that means my SEO (search engine optimization) skills must be paying off!

Hair Color Hair Length Facial Hair Body Hair Daddy did not have a concept of body hair, so there was not any specific examples to include. 

I was thinking: Smooth, Shaved, Trimmed, Hairy, and Other
If there are other ideas, those can be looked at.
 

That sounds like something that is perfect to include in the free-form ("Your Review" below) space!

Linking to an image (meaning you paste the URL) means you're counting on the "source" to host the image.  If they remove that image or block it, that image will no longer show on our site.  
By uploading it to our site (meaning you saved it to your computer and then "choose files"), a copy of it is stored on our site itself meaning you don't have to worry it disappearing in the future.  

If you simply expect people to make an offer, wouldn’t you just later be mad when you spend your time with lowball offers? 

I would set my price and as soon as they say too expensive, just move on. Having them make an offer first just sets you up for the lowball offers out the gate as it’s now haggling.

It's because the image source is not available.  For example:
https://www.boytoy.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2018_06/Screenshot_20180614-151010_Chrome.jpg.e94c9378788b62dfba15a8530984eb15.jpg That image file is not accessible.  I tried to load it in my browser, but it just timed out attempting to load it.  If I manually changed the URL to:
https://www.gayguides.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2018_06/Screenshot_20180614-151010_Chrome.jpg.e94c9378788b62dfba15a8530984eb15.jpg It looks like the webmaster there never setup 301 redirects to route any request from their old URL to the new one.  
There is not a set time for any image to be expired/deleted.  However things like domain changes can cause some issues like this from time to time.

Can you give me an example thread?  There are a bunch of if/else answers so I don’t want to give a wrong explanation. 

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.

DAY 1...  Alphabetical order.  
But with that said, we're tracking location.  To make it easier to match up locations, they'll use Google's auto-suggest for cities.  

So we won't have to worry about issues like "Ft Lauderdale, FL" vs "Fort Lauderdale, FL" vs "Ft. Lauderdale, FL" (with the period in Fort). 
Very shortly after the initial release, there will be a map view to see items based on location.  Below is a screenshot "stock map" that has not been integrated yet.

The idea is that you could pick a state and see all of the items that are associated with that location.  In addition, where the squares are would be pins link to reviews for cities that have more than XX reviews.  We would not be able to have THOUSANDS of pins, but the idea is that our top 10-20 cities might get pins.
I'm also working to create a location filter where someone would just be able to search for a city and get those results as well.  That would look/feel somewhat like Rent.men's location system.  My goal is to leverage that same Google location suggestion to power it where you start typing a city or a state...  when you submit it, you get results for just that area.
