Reviews ?

So - have you turned-down (voted no) on any reviews?
I have about 4 - most are of the type where the reviewer is just reminiscing about his visit as if he was writing the review for himself and doesn't bother to give any details of the club (cover; dance price; # of dancers; mileage; etc)

Got something to say?

I have tried to be constructive when I reject a review, maybe it might help them to write a better one next time.
That's a well thought-out constructive response
btw a21985... how do you fit all of that canned response in that little box?
I enjoy reading other's detailed experiences even if the review reads like a diary entry focusing on their experience only from their point of view. In that case, I get to live vicariously through their recollection. In doing so, I get a sense of their club experience -- which I either will or will not endeavor to replicate someday.
Those that just reminisce seem to be writing the reviews for their own benefit instead of the potential readers.
From a recent review of Sabel's Philly:
"... Club (4/10)
Type: lowscale
Parking: public lot, medium-sized
Club Setup: LD room on right as soon as you enter building where; bouncer’s area with chair is right outside LD room; pole is in corner on the right and another is in the middle on the left; tables and chairs are facing the left-hand pole; bar area right next to chairs; DJ booth is in corner on left; bathroom right next to DJ booth
Dance Setup: sofas all around the area; no windows or door; curtains are used in place of door; bouncer sits right outside the LD room
Atmosphere: non-smoking; good visibility
Location: urban; 3 universities within 10 minutes; mom-and-pop restaurants within 5 minutes
Music: rap/trap; volume is too loud
Televisions: 4 small ones around bar; SD feed
Bartenders: somewhat unfriendly
Bouncers: unfriendly; task-oriented
Bathroom: no attendant available; dirty; soap dispenser unavailable; paper towel dispenser unavailable; hand dryer unavailable
Misc. staff: somewhat friendly
Dancers (5/10)
Pole skill: none have talent
Physical looks: mid 6 to mid 8 with most around a 7
Personality: somewhat friendly or somewhat unfriendly; low or medium hustle
Age: early to late 20s with most around early 20s looking
Ethnicity: AA
Body tattoos: good amount
Intangibles: many sitting by stools or barside throughout their shift on their phones or just relaxing; dancers do a good job of coming around to most customers; most dancers act like they are far more attractive than they actually are and it can be very off-putting; deny a LD and you will be treated poorly; dancers come to their shift late and sometimes leave early
Tip parade: none; dancers will ask for a barstool LD
Dollar Value (7/10)
Cover: $0 cover this visit ($10 after 10 pm on Friday)
Dance price/quality: $20 Wednesday-Sunday ($10 on Monday/Tuesday); mileage is either low or high (one dancer gives air dances)
General mileage: high
Beer: decent selection; decent pricing this visit
Water: complimentary if you ask
Food: none
Specials: Happy Hour (everyday 6-8 pm); $10 LD (Monday/Tuesday)
Verdict (low 5/10)
I made my visit in March (4th week, weekday evening). If you're looking for a place to just relax, drink some beer, watch some sports, and see some boobs every now and then, this might be a mediocre spot ..."

I may be too picky.
Kind of like the “close door button”on the elevator, it’s sometimes there to make you feel good and give you something to do, but it’s not actually hooked up to anything.
I have noticed that the day the review gets included in seems to be messed up now. Read all the 4/13 reviews on 4/14 then today noticed that there are a number of new ones interspersed, apparently back dated in so how?
I don't think the name of the reviewer appears in the unpublished list - which is probably the way to go as to not be biased either way
Location - ease of parking
Cover charge (it could be Y/N or actual price)
Drink prices
Dance prices
Number of dancers
Mileage
General club layout
Dance area info
I know many reviews focus on the quality - beauty/hotness of dancers. That’s fine. That’s highly subjective. It’s the items listed above that are most useful.
Some of the reviews are crap. “It was very dark. The music was loud. The drinks might be watered down. Some hot dancers. Lots of claims of great VIP action.” I could apply that to about 90% of the clubs I’ve been to.
Agreed. Some people are poor writers and some value different things than we might. With that in mind, I've kept the bar pretty low. But I say no to the generic reviews that give us nothing in terms of specific intel. I guess i'd call it the "Did You Actually Walk in the Door At All" standard.
Cash posted: "I’m looking for enough info so I could decide if I’d go to the club."
Cash, idk, but that seems like a high bar to apply to a single review. I'm generally going to approve a review if it adds something relevant and specific to the knowledge base. I would expect someone to read multiple reviews in order to collect enough intel to make a go/no go determination. Just my perspective fwiw.
In my view, a reviewer should attempt to provide enough info so that the reader will know if the club is worth attending or not. The reviewer should avoid focusing on a single dancer or a single aspect of their experience. Maybe that’s expecting too much?
But looking at it from a broader perspective, if too many VIPs set the bar that high, we will collectively shit can easily 2/3 of the reviews posted. Then, after a while, nobody will want to post reviews. Not everyone posting a review is going to be Wordsworth. Some people are also too lazy to make a comprehensive effort. Others may have been too drunk during the visit to remember all the details or may just have poor memories. Or etc.,etc.
So I try to force my purism down and apply a lower standard, which more or less translates to "at least give me something fucking useful and convince me that you were actually a customer in the club" - lol.
Are you saying the reviews get published on the day it was posted for review? For instance are there any "new" reviews for yesterday or the before, that got published today?
I don’t think I write such good reviews but they have gotten better over the years.
For the record I didn’t plan to write reviews to achieve VIP but I found it to be good excessive mentally, and as I have gotten a lot from this community I appreciate being able to contribute.
Bear in mind if just one out of every 20-30 reviewers join our discussion group that is quite a few over a years time and the knowledge gained is to the benefit of the entire community.
@Huntsman - I agree with your point too. Some reviews are just shit. Complaints about a snooty bartender - or other bs - takes up the full review.
