The new Massage section is to facilitate more detailed reports of massage scenes, only accessible to senior members onward. Ahlungor is welcome to spearhead this campaign.


Roster section is for shop rosters to free up some space in the General Talks section. Advertising can still be done anywhere else.

[Littlewonder]

Great Idea admin why don't you transfer the existing rosters to that section now? Or at least close the exising Rosters and let all the shops start a fresh in the new section with their rosters.

Ok that sounds good for the massage section, but if only senior members can access that section then I am a little concern about the feasibility of that move on a shop owners point of view. Because on any given time, say when there are 350 users on line, there are usually only 50 or so are members, 300 of them will be guests !!

And among the 50 members how many will be senior members with more than 100 posts. Just for myself, if I want to post a review, I want all 350 users to view it and not just 10-15 senior members, I understand we need to protect the shops and the girls and I think most people are doing a good job on that, any juicy bits are usually left out anyway or it is only share in PMs between trusted members.

I think the idea is good but we need to balance the privacy vs accessibility, you don't want to make it too hard and turn a lot of guests away. Sure they can become a member and have access but if the qualify level is senior, not sure how many guests will have time to post 100??

May be set the level to members with 10 posts + ?? This way you will encourage more registrations and people must post something (so at least we can see what they write and have a little idea) before they can have access but not too hard.

Just my two cents.

Any brothers have other thoughts?

Cheers

Good suggestion bro, we will consider it.

[Potluck2.0]

why does admin keep deleting my post??

How do u add 'thread prefix' i have old reports that I wanna share about massage scene but would prefer it if it was somewhat private. We have to do all the work to go to shops and write report and public can view for free, that's no good. I think Junior members and above is good threshold

what people really wanna know is which ML offer FS and for how much and this info can be shared amongst bros who have been contributing

[aus99 admin]

hi, This is all in trial status. We would love to hear your comment and idea. please feel free to let us know.
all the sydney general talk, Sydney after report, are the same as before. this is open to public. there is no change.

the purpose of the private massage report, is mainly reason for the private massage. and We hope this can be only share in privately and share in between our member but not to the PUBLIC !
and this section is only for the PRIVATE MASSAGE ! all the other report is back to the Sydney after report. and there is no change at all.

Please tell us more what you think. and we will try to improve it.

[Potluck2.0]

Don't forget bros, if u set the bar at 50 posts, it's going to push a lot of others to contribute a lot more to get into the 'private club' admin is right to set the bar at junior level. If i was new I would be banging out after reports to get there

OK, just found out a bit more about the new sections, as some baby member was asking me what are we talking about, apparently this "Private Massage Report" section does not show up on the title menu if you are a baby member, so same for all guest visitors I think. So that's how the Admin can control the access. and for the new Roster section, apparently only shop owners can start a new thread,

Cool.....finding out all these new tricks...........haha

Cheers

:cool2:

Then, how to become a senior member? I no longer want to be a baby anymore.

[Mashburn]

I think it's 50 at the moment.

[8inches]

50 posts or 50 reviews?

[wilisno]

Posts, not reviews ! Haha, how many members would have written more than 50 reviews ? ;) ;) ;)

[handbanana]

Love the idea of the new forums and cant wait to read a few detailed reports there.

[DarkZero01]

now i am not trying to put any offence or any drama on yamada, but shouldn't all his post (especially when he puts a new post about the girl) go directly to the roster section as well?

[DeepImpact]

One suggestion is that the roster for the shop should be deleted if no update has been done for a period of time. There is a shop that hasn't done an update to the roster since April. Surely that isn't going to be of much use to anyone.

[ics]

I couldn't agree more. Yamada-san is basically spamming the other section. Look at the Lungor thread, it's all yamada yamada yamada.

[playerz]

So I'd better start posting to hit my 50.

[slowmotion]

50 is a bit too high. I think should start with 20 then increase to 40 and 50 in 3months time.

shopowner privilege ? This practice really annoying and discorage meber to read his post.

[flubberghusted]

FWIW, I'm sure like a lot of others view and do research on this forum without posting.
It's isolating the general market but rewarding the loyal ones.

[IExperiment]

Yes I did mention once to Yamada in the past to be more sensitive to punters that might get annoy about flooding but I guess he might not understand or he is his own master and there is nothing wrong with that from my view and I leave it there. Like and dislike is the key become tolerance.

[playerz]

Most importantly for Admin is that isolation of these threads will also minimise visibility for the massage shops who do pay for advertising versus those who don't.

[Travelmate]

Post more often !

yes, King Wil, I am lazy and busy lately

[Travelmate]

AHLUNGOR is the most hard working one on posting

[kickass]

Travelmate ... you post more than a chain letter ... lol

[will2shy]

seems fair enough

[deathblow182]

Kind of sounds okay.

To me it feels as though it'll encourage big spamming to reach whatever the hurdle is.

If it's well moderated it'll work, otherwise someone like me will just post, Awesome, to every review ?

Just a thought, I won't do that...


+1 to not being a baby member

[icecream]

where is this section..

[carmen farquis]

i just reached 50 and find out im only half way there . fuck.

[Mashburn]

Why only half way??

[wilisno]

50 is all you need !

[Littlewonder]

Well I think they separated out the shop roster on the hope that it would stop the shops bumping their posts in the general and after report sections. It obviously hasn't worked.

[oinkonk]

The shop bumps are quite tedious especially if they don't put photos in their posts

[lamb]

Maybe we need a shop promotions section for them to post in, it hard to weed out the actual AR's in the AR section....

[chandra_man1]

just mash everything in one section and make a spaghetti mess for all its worth. 95% are shop ads these day and the other 4 % are silly question type. this sites posts are not as good as it used to be.

Have to agree there are too many shops bumping their post just to get them on the top.
Have a look at the General Thread and After Reports section its rediculous Admin should do something about it.
Stop the shops but I quess their the paying customers so they get away with it.
The problem is it will end up driving the punters away and at the end of the day they are the ones they are trying to attract everyone will end up loosing out.

[8inches]

Shops are the paying customer, members are the product. If members were to pay a joining fee then you would be upset for what you pay for?
But this site is for free so your comments will fall on deaf ears
Simple business transaction: if a shop chooses to spam the forum out of desperation and the end result is driving customers away then they need to re-think their plan. but this strategy might be working as some shops do this on a daily basis.
21/2/13 12:55 = yamada o'clock is early today ;)
enough said. cheers

[jellyshots]

Maybe there should be a few different sections.

General Section - Free for all
Members only forum - Massage AR's
Members only forum - Full Service AR's
Advertiser's Section - General Access
Roster Section - Advertisers only
Reply Forum - for advertisers to comment on someone's AR

I think if advertisers were kept out of certain sections, more people would write AR's. Shops couldn't reply directly to that thread so are prevented from bumping the post. And if advertisers wanted to intro new girls, they could spam their advertiser section. I think a reply forum would be good to give them a way to comment on a punter.

Not sure how that would work with members trying to update a roster for a shop but I think it would do something to clean the forum up.

[Littlewonder]

Well out of 40 post on the AR section front page just now 29 of them are by the shops the General posts arn't much better with 18 by the shops.

I have no problem with shops posting in the roster section in fact I think its excellent to see the roster there but they shouln't pick the reports they like (they only pick the good ones) and for every girl on roster that day and say she is in today.

They don't pick a bad report and say she is in today! It gives a false impression of the shop and the girls, AR should be for non paying members to post AR only.

[8inches]

Am I the only 1 here that likes to read positive reviews and shop rosters.?

[Cloudybay]

IMHO , as a matter of transperncy only those has ShopOwner privileges be allowed to update Roster. So we all know who are the "SHOP OWNER" and be clear of their interest ..
