From my POV a big problem; I spend a large portion of my time checking for a small number of people that attempt to abuse the system.

 

Just today I added a new rule to my review processing to disallow reviews from anonymous proxies because of abusive activity that harmed somebody.

 

The comments that Susan McLean made I believe, hit the nail on the head. There is a perception of anonymity that really doesn't exist. For Example, Email isn't private. One of the current controversies is that a warrant isn't necessarily needed to for a Police Officer to read it.

Excellent post BC...as always very informative, and interesting.

And the crawl beneath the story on internet trolls says: "Syrian Forces Kill 92, Including Children"

 

Kind of adds some perspective to the problem of anonymous proxies and internet trolls. Not that these cannot be problems...

Why do kids experiment with magnifying glasses?

Trolls: Those who crave excitement from watching other people suffer.

 

(the killing of children) adds some perspective

 

Leave it to Lucky Antagonista to pop balloons with a used heroin needle at the pity party.

 

abusive activity that harmed somebody

 

Escorting is a competitive business, and let's face it, some men like to play dirty. The beast can get ugly, especially when some of the customers can be coerced to get ugly, too. (How about free sex for a fake, damaging review?)

 

Loved the sedated and bald Dr. Az, the Australian version of Dr. Oz, perhaps, but much sexier.

 

"The more planned and calculated trolling ('seeking people to offend') is more like psychopathic behavior. (Trolling is) the callus disregard for other people's feelings, or even the craving of excitement derived from seeing suffering in others."

 

This board has had its share of psychopaths through the years. Some still post. But what can one say about a board that permits multiple usernames? As Stephen Draker might say, you can't eat your cake and have it, too, and in this case it makes sense.

 

Of course, email isn't private. Sure, one can call the police and file a suit of abuse. Not sure how that goes down when we're talking about an escort review site.

I've never understood this: if you have to resort to fucking over other escorts, then it's likely you suck as an escort.

I usually have difficulty disregarding a callus.

There are plenty of escorts who suck, as you say. There are infamous escorts with lengthy tenure who have survived by screwing over one-time customers, and continue to advertise on Rentboy, claiming service standards comparable to none. How shall we explain that?

 

There's no trying to figure out the men who like to play dirty, in other words: the fraudsters. Of course they're not successful, but it's safe to assume they place no value on someone else's success.

 

Competition isn't just among escorts anymore. Escort review sites have their own, and I know one owner I would not trust beyond a 1-inch penis. Mr. D has to deal with punches from all corners. It may not be as serious as the Syrian conflict, but I certainly feel his anguish and frustration.

 

ps Damn those typos (unless the Australians leave out the "o"). Yes, it's spelled callous. Thank you, Charlie, for pointing out my typos.

Or in the always entertaining British English: cælloeous.
