Naming Names

I rejected a review this morning because it tied a dancer’s name to specific extra activities. It was published anyway, so I guess I was outvoted. Identifying dancers in this way is against the TUSCL review guidelines and in my view just not a cool thing to do. Can we come to agreement that such reviews should be rejected?
Got something to say?

Personally I agree ROBs should be identified and others should not be slandered but if the review is coherent and has info that may help others, IMHO I believe it should be shared.
I don't recall him ever saying that he agreed with publishing names of dancers that would get them in trouble with their club or LE. In fact he stated his disapproval in the printed guide lines.
I don't recall the name of the thread but I do recall a discussion like this when founder chimed in...and he said "I have no problem with it"... maybe Papi recalls that thread?
Dance, not all of us live and club in the Detroit suburbs, where LE is not a serious concern and many clubs openly allow xyz. In many areas, it is not advisable to give LE easy intel to use in targeting clubs. Also, in more uptight clubs and/or areas, managers and even other dancers can use posts like that against girls who are kind enough to go the extra distance.
Fucking two_sheds and TER refugess.
Just saying to the original question that Founder cleared this up months ago when he said,
"I don't mind names posted. I don't know how that urban myth even started."
@founder maybe you should make the guidelines a pop up box that needs to be checked before submitting a review.
Dr I actually flagged that review as well go figure
I disagreed, but thought (and continue to think...) that names connected to extras is a bad practice even though it's not against the rules. I also agree that ROBs should be named, for what it's worth.
This is one of those 'not our sandbox' issues.
Perhaps post a comment to that review so that the reviewer is aware of the potential problem.
I agree that 25 has a good idea.
I don't like to see names in ANY review other than to call out ROBs.
Honestly, it's a bit murky. But my interpretation remains that founder has not given clear guidance on the use of specific dancer names.
I wish that he would and make it plain for customers before they post a review. Only a small percentage of users participate in discussions regularly.

But if they are in Florida, send it to me in a PM.

If there’s a dancer who provides good service (and extras) - my thought is to be less specific - so she can’t be immediately identified. There’s no reason to out a dancer for delivering a great time.
This is clubbing 101. It’s asinine to act otherwise!
I recently posted a review that included some mileage and was asked the dancers name in a comment. Told the poster I wasn’t going to provide that information. Why get a good CF in trouble?
-- Content and length are the two most important factors to consider.
-- Be wordy. Fill the review box. One or two sentence reviews aren't helpful to anyone.
-- Give a LOT of details in your review (club layout, atmosphere, dance quality, etc.).
---- Your review should be at least 4 solid paragraphs, with 4-7 sentences each.
---- One paragraph should describe the club vibe.
---- Mention cleanliness, thug factor, music level, dj annoyance factor, lighting, etc.
---- Another paragraph should describe the dancers and their vampiness. How many were there? What ethicities did you see? Did they seem happy to see you?
---- A third paragraph should be about value. Don't say drinks, dances, cover charge, etc. were cheap or expensive. Tell us the actual costs!
---- At least one paragraph should summarize with three or four sentences describing why you would or would not return to the club.
-- Be honest. You can go into detail of the private dances. Just be careful with names if it may get your ATF in trouble.
-- Spelling, grammar, and punctuation count. Do not use ALL CAPITAL LETTERS! When composing a review, spell check it.
-- Pro Tip 1: Think about what you would like to tell your good buddy about a strip club he's never been to.
-- Pro Tip 2: Think about the business traveler that is sitting in his hotel room with only time enough to hit one club in this new town. Let him know why or why not he should visit a particular club.
To me, that's a "something to consider" but not a prohibition. I still believe we shouldn't include names connected to services.
CMI already said it clearly
“The problem (one of many) with connecting a dancer to specific acts is that it implies that the dancer will provide that service to anyone who walks through the door. That's often not true and could lead to a bad encounter for both the dancer and customer.”
Also, I’d like to add something else:
At one of my old clubs, there was another dancer who was not too fond of me. I found her in a club review. The name had the first letter and asterisks to indicate the length of the name (and I’m pretty sure founder had to censor the name) Also the poster described not only her physical appearance but also her personal circumstances.
I instantly recognized the girl in the review as the dancer who didn’t like me when I worked there.
Now, let’s say I had stuck around at that club. And instead of quietly disliking me, she ended up doing something to actively provoke me.
I could have used that review against her in one way or another.
What most of us are saying is a bad practice is to link a dancer by name to specific extras.
That said, not all of the people looking at the reviews are strip club veterans and others believe because they want to believe. So yeah, I think that there are a good number of guys who take it seriously.
Guys can talk themselves around a lot of common sense. How many guys come on here because they are in love with a stripper, and their stripper is different from all the others?
1. The reviewer specifically names a ROB and details the circumstances
2. The reviewer identifies a club within which UHM or extras were offered (without naming dancer names)
3. The reviewer names a dancer which met or exceeded his expectations (without naming specific acts).
Anything more puts our hobby, the dancer and/or the club in danger and is unadvisable.
