That review pisses me off.

What can/or you do about it? I have done two things in the past. I have used the club discussion board to rebut the review and in extreme cases I have sent the reviewer a PM. I got mixed results doing both. I got some thanks and a couple of "fuck you's".
I have always thought that a nice feature for TUSCL would be the ability to comment to a review. Maybe I should just ignore the whole thing.
Got something to say?

On imdb there is a "does this review help ?" button.
Shouldn't a well known, well regarded club regular enjoy significantly better experiences than "a newbie or dumb ass?"
BUT the solution isn't to add rebuttals directly to the list of that club's reviews.
I think the best approach is to use the CLUB discussion board to post club specific corrections and review diagreements; FLAG reviews for factual errors; and finally use PM to reviewer to discuss differing point of view or communicate such things as "You overpaid for dances." Anything of a personal nature such as "you were wrong about dancer X or you didn't negotiate the VIP correctly and got taken" should be handled by PM.
This means that FOUNDER will need to bring back club discussion board and review flags that display.
Allowing direct commenting to a review will result in trolls, shills, & those who generally use relative anonymity to get off on flaming and personal attacks. We might as well just merge with StripClub.net or StripClubList or whatever. Tuscl will become just like them: poisoned by much personal invective, shilling, and relatively little useful info. And you know we have already seen some of this on TUSCL; no need to make it easier.
Let keep TUSCL civil and different from the run-of-the-mill Internet SC crap.
I agree with TUSCL that the flag button should not be used for simple comments. Flagging usually means the post violates some rule and someone needs to look at it for possible removal.
I understand when I read a review that I am reading one person's assessment of a particular night and particular dancer or dancers in a club based on their expectations and list of desirables. Mine may be completely different.
Perhaps a better way to monitor the "facts" which would be pricing, hours, location and phone would be for TUSCL to contact each club and ask to be contacted when there is a change. I would think most clubs would be onboard for this as it is free advertising to a known market.
On the other hand, some clear guidance would have either spared me money or frustration in my newby days. Definately let someone know if they got shortchanged.
Might be a nice touch, but I don't think it is needed. I've been in my favorite club when I'd rate it 1/2 of what I would during a normal time. And those weren't the times vm was there! :)
I do tend to weigh the POVs of seasoned reviewers far more than those of newbies, so I find the creds posted for each reviewer to be very helpful. Very rarely do I even read the comments of a 1 and 1 reviewer any more. I have also made use of the FLAG feature when the review is egregiously bad.
The problem is that each experience is different for each reviewer. When I'm looking at reviews, I have to look at all of them to get an idea of what the club might really be like. Think about all the variables that go into a SC experience...day, time, girls moods, number of custies, bouncers moods, managers moods, DJ's moods...Maybe a review was written about a visit where all the stars aligned and the reviewer had a great time in a shitty club or a bad time in a great club. The only things that are somewhat consistent are prices and hours of operation (but even then you'll have outliers).
