If a review gives no real info, just a story of how his night went would you approve it? I read a review that more or less said I go here when in town, my friends didnt show up, I had some money, left with most of my money, pissed off a waitress and plan on coming back tomorrow. No description, no mention of mileage, no mention of VIP rooms or if dances are on the floor. I get you say what you do when there, but there are some details needed. Every review should tell you costs, mileage, floor or VIP dances, busy/slow, attractive girls or ugly, and some mention of safety of area(if needed). Its a review, I dont care about your night if there isnt any real info.
I agree KC. My other pet peeve is when a reviewer spends lots of time taking about how long his commute is to the club without mentioning any concrete information. The readers don't know where you live (relative to the club that you're reviewing). We don't know how long your commute is (with and without traffic). We don't know the other clubs that might be closer options to where you live. And we don't know just how much time is "too long" in your view (10 minutes? 30 minutes, 2 hours)?
It's just inexperience. I had one rejected back in 1999 when all reviews were read by an editor/s prior to publication, for this very reason. I rewrote it and it was accepted. People just don't read the guidelines.
You are never going to please everyone, like Electronman says, many ppl want diff things in a review. And most of us have our pet peeves about certain reviews. Mine is the uneducated looking reviews that use no punctuation and spelling, even in this day of autocorrect is awful. Even worse are the idiots who write the whole thing as a single sentence without paragraphs. Even if you have only a grade five education you can find the Return key.
I usually look for some information in a review but even the stories almost always have useful stuff if they are detailed enough.
I don't mind personal stories and enjoy many of them - but a review needs to be about the club, not about you - I read a review to learn about the club not your commute - no problem for me about the personal details as long as you also adequately describe the club.
Seems some people are unable to write adequately, but seems most that write shitty reviews do it bc they don't wanna put the effort in.
I totally agree with this. If I can't find one bit of info in the review that is specific about the place then I reject it. There are too many reviews that tell a story that could frankly take place in 95% of strip clubs around the country. I suspect a lot of those are people who just want the month of VIP so they can read reviews of clubs they're planning to visit.
Let's not make it easy on these clowns. You want the VIP access, then put in some effort.
My own reviews are basically stories, but I make sure to include prices, descriptions of girls, and other things about the club while telling that story.
Depends on how often the club is reviewed but I look for at least one piece of information that tells me something about the club. That’s the lowest bar for me. I do appreciate the top of the heap reviews which give club info and are entertaining to read (wallanon, reverendhornibastard) but those are lofty standards that few can meet.
If you can confirm prices and add in some personal observations about dancers and be discreet, that’s a solid middle of the road review.
There was some information in the review, but its misleading 1 statement about it being a membership club, he renews his membership every year...well in Kansas about half the clubs are membership clubs, some memberships only last 1 night tho(such as the outhouse, no one even notices you are getting a membership tho) not sure why this is I have a theory that private clubs you can smoke in, public clubs its illegal. This club has a membership with no waiting period and everyone is accepted, you fill out a card and pay $10 for the year.
If I go out to dinner, tell you where I go, mention the waiter but not really say if the service was good or not. Say I got Italian but not if it was good or not or if I go my money's worth. Say I sat inside but dont say its it's nice and clean or old and dirty. Can you say I reviewed the restaurant even if I told you I had a good time?
Reviews need Cost Description (this can be over looked if nothing has changed) Value/mileage Service Smoking/non smoking (this is a deal breaker for alot of people, especially if you are hiding going out) Area dances take place Alcohol/byob/juice bar Tell me about your experience, but make it clear if you'd recommend it or not

last commentI usually look for some information in a review but even the stories almost always have useful stuff if they are detailed enough.
Review - Provides objective info, but is often just redundant
Stories - can give a sense of the vibe and some recommendations on specific women but often leaves out the value component
Papi submissions - provides a sure-fire cure for insomnia

The value proposition.

That was the only real info to the review.
Reviews need
Cost
Description (this can be over looked if nothing has changed)
Value/mileage
Service
Smoking/non smoking (this is a deal breaker for alot of people, especially if you are hiding going out)
Area dances take place
Alcohol/byob/juice bar
Tell me about your experience, but make it clear if you'd recommend it or not
Excellent point about the BR troll.
