Fake Reviews

[crum]

Guys, if the reason you’re not writing reviews is that they get buried, then you’re kind of missing the whole point of the forum. A couple of people here are basically saying they’ve stopped because reviews disappear quickly or shops repost old ones, but if everyone takes that attitude, there’s nothing left except ads, DMs and recycled content.

This place only works because people actually contribute. I write reviews, good and bad, and yes, they can get buried. So repost them in the relevant discussion thread, link back to them, bring them up when someone asks for intel. There are plenty of ways to get more eyeballs on them. Most of mine end up with thousands of views.

Writing genuine reviews is the lifeblood of a forum like this. If you’re happy to come here and use everyone else’s intel but can’t be bothered contributing because your post might not stay on page one, then sorry, that’s just lazy. You’re taking from the community without putting much substance back into it.

I've been trying to be a lot more active on the forum than my earlier years here purely because I feel like a lot of the regulars have moved on and aren't around as much anymore, such as Rooter as an example.

I frequent many of the same shops but that's usually either because they're close to work or home and I have regulars or trust the recomendations there. When I venture out to other shops I typically leave comments or reviews also. This forums been a lifeblood of information for me for years, it's good to give back.

I'm never really fussed on reviews being "buried", just happy to get them out there and other punters can use that information as they need.

There is a plethora of fake reviews and the tell tale signs are generally pretty obvious, I just take with grain of salt or ignore and give credit to the ones that I know are legit

How do you define what's a "fake" review? Everybody has their own definition. What's yours?

A fake AR is basically FOAM for the keyboard.

Here's a pretty good example

https://www.aus99forum.com/showthrea...90#post3978690

Profile not only writes a fake review with absolutely no useful intel but the same profile then bags out their nearby competitors.

Common theme the house of 'Ada' but I've given up trying to raise talking points as the minions come swarming in defence as we shall no doubt see.

It's not the shops or girls that's the issue as I've been reassured by many they are top notch but the marketing strategy of flooding the AR section with their adverts and attacking other shops with false claims of bad service to gain more customers

Disagree - I just read this guys other six posts and do not see evidence of the conspiracy theory you've alluded to. Yep, he's a shit reviewer but that's fine.

So 6 posts - glowing factless post on 192 Ryder's new shop punt then bad mouths 331 Concord and 14 Burwood - no evidence really and of course you're entitled to disagree

If I owned a forum I’d be writing reviews for the places that pay the $1200 per month to advertise on it. I’d be running multiple fake profiles to orchestrate the positioning of threads and I’d be doing other things like…

But I don’t own a forum.

You are the man.
Keep going calling them out

Yea, agree. What is desired is MORE AR's in the form of the one being cited, as the others are... yea.

The bait & switch: not saying it can't happen BUT to "cut off your nose to spite your face" with a "I'm never going back..." I follow the providers, and if one's working at Burwood, I'll see her there for the facilities available (Summerville trumps all). Plus, no details, was it "picture didn't match", simply an alternative to a provider who was absent/busy/whatever, booking problem... I've found the mamasan there very straight up. Was she even there at the time? No details, nod goes to the shop. (But please, do stay away, better for ME - self-interest at work).

The other slag was merely HERESAY, he'd HEARD ... There, 2 sides to every story, and the ORIGINAL post was someone "a bit dubious", complaining that what he wanted wasn't available, fully booked, so he was disappointed in the entitled sense. IME, I don't get shoved, I think because of my seniority, but it also could very well be due to my weight.

And all the missing ones, yearly trips to Thailand, so there IS an offshore thread here. No idea if he's an International School Graduate.

Point being, for credibility evaluation, it helps to have a range of AR's, especially if you've been around for awhile.

Well i've got around 100 - good, bad and ugly. Say what you will but I have paid for each session and report it as I see it. I get tired of cunts criticising me for being a schill when they contribute nothing. Write reviews, or shut the fuck up. We don't need more critics of those volunteering to keep this site useful for others.

[iamnotasexrobot]

As I've done this longer, gotten older and more experienced, my tastes have changed.
I used to ask more questions, with a need to KNOW exactly what I was getting.
Eventually I realised that your experience is almost never going to be the same as what you've read. Outside of legends like Rebecca or Jessie, everything is YMMV.
My punting habits massively changed this year after some health issues, so I started reviewing to try and pay back all I've got from other members.
The cynicism on here is unreal. And it's mostly from people who literally offer nothing.

My cynicism goes the other way... Surely shop owners aren't dumb fucks, if they stoop to writing fake reviews/paying for people to shill them, it's just going to backfire... reputation is a fickle thing. All it takes is one person to push back on bullshit and all of a sudden even people who won't take the time to write up an AR will at least chime in with their 2c.

This thread isn't going to do shit though. Go see the girl, respond, good or bad to the other AR and let nature take it's course. With all the YMMV and personal preference involved, one guy might have a great time while another might not... But if enough people chime in everyone can make a reasonably informed decision. I don't write nearly as many ARs as I could, but I do try and add my experiences to others when possible.

Just in case I was misunderstood (hopefully not); I was referring to 122333. I have no problem with your contributions Aussieguyinsf. As to any criticism that you might incur, my simple advice is just consider the source. It's a FREE forum, EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion, their evaluations. People disagree with me all the time. What do I care? They're wrong, I'm right. Simple.

You know the OLD cliche: if you can't stand the heat...
Most of the cynicism, the critics, are from those who DON'T understand YMMV.

An AR is just one punter's view of his experience, nothing more.

Reciprocity.

[AHLUNGOR]

There have been few forum star like 'AHLUNGOR', who reviews have been nothing but all truth to the bone.

Pity in current times its more of repeated past reviews posted again n again by shops , or fake reviews, or worse some punter posting reviews showing how best their punt has been but not sharing and keeping it all for themself.

Hi there brother scotindeeppuss,

Thank you very much for your kind words, very humbly appreciated.

question: looking at your joining date which was on Feb 24, you would have missed most of my earlier contributions in the good old day from 2012 to just before Covid. my guess is, you had joined the forum before and previously were under a different user name perhaps.

As one of the oldest foundation members of the present day AUS99, I must reflect on the popularity of the old forum and the great services and intels it had provided to the Sydney punting community.

I, myself was a legit beneficiary of this great forum:

501 Newtown was a perfect example, without this forum, I would have definitely missed the pleasures of having the Jojo/Sasa sisters, the awesome big big tits from the original Mia, the lovely Hong Kong babe Maggie, the irreplaceable busty Sophie, and even the beautiful but no nude Michelle if anyone still remember them.

Then of course the market leader and trend setter 5 Star = all the treasures moments with 36 EE Cups Singapore babe Milo at the shop and in the private Penthouse, and many others.

and again, thanks to that infamous review on Tiffany at the totally unknown shop of SL inside that little laneway in Chinatown which had started the flood gate of ALL the subsequent R&T reviews from yours truly:

shop 2 and 9/741 George which lead to 7 Lotus, 376 Silver Fox, 316 Central which lead to 227 Broadway, madam @55 George Burwood which lead to 252b Stanmore which lead to all the different venues over the years from master Mimi. 14 Burwood, 1B and 1A QVB which lead to West Pennant Hills then VIP Prymont and 514 Kent Street, 812 Blossom, DIVA, Summervilles, Sydney Baby, Sydney Girls, 200 Stanmore which lead to 69 Savann then the current 252 Heaven Stanmore, 208 Oasis, 227 North Strathfield, May Street St Peters plus a few more here and there. So many busty MLs with hundreds of HJ and Spanish................haha, those were the days.

Plus a few other historic places like Zanadu, Chequers (in its various life forms), Babylon, Kings Massage, At Michelles etc. etc.

That's not a bad journey and selections, right ?

Now, the one and more dominant reason why I reviewed all the sessions was pure and simple, I learnt and benefited from other member's ARs in this forum community, and I have to return the favour. and the personal ulterior motives were to help out all my favourite MLs and friendly mamasans so that they can have more customers and make more money, it's a simple win win situations, no other way to say it.

Never had kept a good one to myself, that's the spirit. and HOPEFULLY it will live on and continue.

enjoy your punting while you can, and don't forget to post.

Cheers

Reading AR is useful, the more you read the more you get skilled to spot to real vs enhanced vs fake.
..and posting.. well if you are a registered member why the fuck you do not post??? Especially bad reviews, especially of lesser known places.. we all need more info!

And there's not enough LB action getting reviewed here either. Have you got anything new to report? Asking for a friend
