Suggestion: Post user's # of reviews (or seniority) by name
Book Guy
I write it like I mean it, but mostly they just want my money.
I'd like to suggest, that the presentation of TUSCL be tweaked ever so slightly. I think that when you're on a club page and you're looking at all the reviews, it should be presented such that the author of the review has a mark by his name indicating how many reviews he has submitted over the years. I find that I am always clicking the author link to find out more about the dude, but all I really want to know, most of the time, is "Hey, has this guy EVER written ANY other review, or is he a one-trick-pony shill who has only ever submitted THIS ONE REVIEW?" If right next to "book guy" appeared "book guy (124 reviews)" (or whatever) that would be very useful information for everyone.
I don't know if this is implementable. But I haven't been able to get through to Founder for a while with the "contact us" link so I thought I'd put it up here on the discussion board. Waddayathink, dudes?

WTF? That review realy doesn't mean anything to me. I'm not a student of strip club architecture. Just tell me about the strippers and the mileage factor. Most of the veteran members understand that it's all about the dancers, the rest really doesn't matter. Sometimes I believe members are submitting 2-3 line reviews just so they don't have to pay for their membership.
I think this is very true.
Tuscl could have its own system. My offhand suggestions?
Virgin (up to 10 reviews)
First Kiss 10-20
Make-out Artist 20-30
Groper 30-40
69er 40-60
Casanova 60+
what are others' suggestions? we could design a system by popular vote
Something that might be interesting to add is the total number of different reviewers for a given club in the past year if you need at least 8 different ones for a club to be listed in the top 40. Then someone might easily see why a club isn't in the top 40 if it doesn't have enough reviewers but seems to be a local favorite club. These clubs can be like hidden gems not listed on the top 40.
I have about 20 reviews, mostly because I don't put a review about my regular clubs every time I go. I only put in updates when I go to a new club or there's been some significant update to a club a regularly visit.
You can see what I'm getting at, here, with the idea of leaving a quick piece of information that can help readily identify shills. I don't know if the "<5" is a great idea; or if the original suggestion is a great idea; I leave it up to Founder to see what he thinks. I can see a few disadvantages, but I think the advantages outweigh them.
I can't speak for others, but I've never used one of those "Helpful" systems.
I don't think the total number of reviews is necessarily indicative of a reviewer's strip club savvy level. Even though I've been clubbing for many years, I've never been one to visit often. I think the highest I've ever climbed on the TUSCL charts was 28th. Now, I rarely visit an actual club.
Are there any other eBay-ers out there? Perhaps TUSCL could use a system similar to eBay's. In eBay, both buyers and sellers have numbers and icons shown next to the user name. It's a useful tool to use, in order to get a feel for the user and allows one to get a realistic expectation of how well a transaction will be handled.
2) Later suggestion of "helpful review option" sounds good. Really, some T40 reviewers reviews aren't very helpful/insightful, while I've seen some reviewers with a handful of reviews make some real good writeups.
3) I'd like to see a return to "old system" whereby one could quickly see which clubs & geographical diversity of reviewer, without wading thru actual reviews.Ditto for T40 list on # of clubs reviewed.
