Please put the city in the title

[Peter Eater]

It’s really helpful if the provider’s city, as well as his name, is posted in the title.
 

“Dick in Des Moines” “Boner Boy in Berlin”

Thanks all!

couldn't agree more.

I agree. And it should be the provider's home city. It doesn't do any good if “Dick in Des Moines” is visiting Boise once years ago and gets a thread titled with him in a city he's traveled to.

And also, automatic merging of all threads about the same provider.

it's been asked before, it doesn't seem to make a difference 😞

And no need for adding “411” taking up room as it’s implicit in the subforum and most posted responses are from members that never met the subject of inquiry anyway.

I don't open posts that don't have the city.

[Nightowl]

Yes! I’m always looking for someone new to test drive and search by city to find him.  Having it in the post would be fantastic.

[DBWEHO]

I completely agree. Of course I neglected it in my last post!

What about the providers who travel from city to city? 🤔 

[InterestingGuy]

Again, the problem with this issue is that many providers on RM don’t use the option to post their travel dates and destinations - they simply change their home city to the the new city they will only be visiting for a few days - and if that’s where you first see his ad, you’re going to post incorrectly about him in these forums. 
 

Las Vegas is the regular example… so many forum posts are titled “JohnDoe in Vegas” or something similar - even though JohnDoe lives in Boston and changed his home city location to Vegas for four days when he stayed at Caesar’s Palace. I’d advise to not put a city in the title unless you’re certain that city is the correct home city of the provider and that’s where he is the majority of the time.

I have wondered if this isn’t laziness but a ruse to make clients think they are locals.  Some clients prefer locals because: 1) they are worried a traveling provider will pack so many appointments into the trip that their performance will suffer: 2) they believe that traveling providers are more likely to short time or otherwise provide unsatisfactory service because they are leaving town soon; and 3) if you like a local provider future appointments are more easily available.

His current city (or cities) at the time of the post -- or just "traveling" -- is infinitely better than "Any 411 on this hottie?" as a subject line.

Hahaha. Interesting perspectives. I just realized when I'm looking for recommendations I like it when the city is listed (in my city haha), as potential and has been mentioned before to help not waste time.

However when i put out the "411", often I'm looking to see if profile name changed and/or if person has traveled and if others recognize Pic's thinking it cast a wider net of potential responses. So hahaha using myself as example i see the flaw in logic :).  Thanks

I think I posted 5+ years ago that there should be some prefer format to 411 subject lines and it was shot down.  
 

the worst are “info on this hottie?” because that tells the reader absolutely nothing.  At least put the info you know, like the provider’s name.  Even if you get the home/travel city wrong, the attempt provides some info. 

[Simon Suraci]

Two essential title components:

1) Post the provider name and

2) whatever city he lists as his home city.

It’s not on you to ascertain a fake home city or to list a bunch of travel destinations, but please do not let this be your excuse to not post a city at all. When you communicate or meet him and confirm in person where his home city is, please update the title. It’s YOUR responsibility as the OP to do this, and it takes two seconds.

Please do the same update courtesy when you misspell a provider name. It won’t come up when people search. Take the two seconds to update your post to make it useful for the rest of our community to reference. It bothers me to this day that someone misspelled my name in the title when they posted a thread about me. Peeves, man. Peeves.

And yes, “411” is completely unnecessary.

Nobody is going to read your post about “this guy”, or “hottie in ____”. We need a name and a location. One of those could be off in terms of accuracy or spelling, but if you provide both, most people can eventually figure out who it is or where he is based and suggest a correction in the thread.

Also, include in the body of your post: his ad link (in hyperlink format) and a PG-13 photo. It’s much easier to recognize a photo of a provider than to remember his name, or former name, or alternate name. If his pics are all nude, crop down to be PG-13, so that when he changes photos on his profile to x-rated content (if and when you will never know) it won’t automatically display that on his embedded link on his thread on CoM, which violates the guidelines for public areas of the site.

I'd go one further, and advise not to post a blank "411" about a provider unless you have personal experience with him and have something to share.  Most of them yield fruitless bumps and replies with no experience anyway.  During your personal experience, you'll get to know the provider and ask where he's normally based, then create a thread starting with whether you recommend him or not.

I'm confused about this comment suggesting to not post 411's on providers, unless you already have personal experience to share?

Maybe I'm an outlier, but I don't receive much benefit from comments like "He looks hot" or "Doesn't list kissing" or "Anyone have more recent information?".  When I have a good or bad experience with a provider, I share it shortly after my session.  I do not wait for someone else to ask about a provider before I share my experience.

From my observations, over 50% of the posts inquiring about someone new yield no comments of value, unlike posts which start with sharing a recommendation.

If the OP is asking for experiences with Provider XXX, responses that only highlight content within an ad, such as "his ad reads like English is not his primary language" or "is he wearing braces in photo #4?" are not helpful to answering the request.  The OP did not ask for opinions on the provider's advertisement.

Personally, I disagree.  Sometimes those posts flag a provider I hadn't considered before, but might consider when I travel.  And they elicit responses from members who may not have bothered to have posted here, but have experience to share (or are willing to be DMed).

I do agree that the bazillion "bumps" are annoying, as are most requests for "anything recent?" on histories/threads, and think that the peanut gallery's fusillade of personal preferences ("Tattoos ruined him!" "Size doesn't matter to me!" "I'm only top/bottom!") is useless flotsam.  But the 411s sometimes elicit personal experiences, or prompt elephant memories that can call out impostors or decade-old pics. 

2¢.

So yeah i don't disagree with your comments here but I'd think the issue isn't with starting a new thread with if anyone has any "411 with Provider xyz"? 

The issue seems to be more how posters respond to the thread with for examples you listed above. I agree those responses aren't helpful in answering if anyone had direct experience.

I may be in the minority but I would think that of people visiting this site in whatever frequency, they don't immediately start a new post regarding a Provider who's never been mentioned and share their experiences unless highly negative or very highly positive.

Again I may be in minority but the primary reason I post a new thread about a Profile (that has not been commented at all before), is to determine if anyone knows 1st hand whether that the profile is "real"

[acks0104]

I think having a city is nice, or just for users to put "traveling provider" if they're someone who travels a lot, but I feel like it should absolutely be a requirement to AT LEAST put their RM name in the listing. I do not get why there are so many users here who try to bait others into reading their posts by being as ambiguous as possible with titles

Do you mean reply to a 411 post?

Because it doesn’t make sense to create a 411 post if you have personal info already.
