TODD in LA

[Boink]

He had several good reviews on this site, not they're all gone. What's up?

[Barry]

I can't say for sure but my guess is he's been delisted. We've been going through and verifying all the escorts and if we couldn't reach him because his contact info was no longer valid, he would be delisted until such point he contacts us with current info.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm a little surprised, though, because there seems to be so many retired/defunct escorts always listed here. Todd's review were pretty current, and he is still listed regularly on Rentboy.

I knew a Todd who lived on Franklin in Hollywood between Highland and Cahuenga. He was a hot bottom and we hooked up a few times. Is that him? He moved back to Dallas a few years ago.

Dan, I don't think that's the same Todd. From what I know of the one I'm dreaming of, he doesn't seem like a bottom type.

 

Also, not to keep harping on this - but I'm not exactly sure how this board works anymore. I am real close to calling Todd, but, being a bit shy, I sometimes need one final analysis of the invaluable reviews on this site to make me pick up the phone with confidence.

 

But suppose I have a great (or awful) time with Todd and wish to review him. Would his 'section' need to be restarted from scratch? The answer above makes it sound like the escorts must now check in or register with this board in order to keep their reviews listed. I thought the reviews here were more or less unsolicited essays from clients - posted with or without the knowledge and/or consent of the escort himself. I'm confused.

 

HOOBOY GET WELL!

If you go to Todd's Rentboy ad, you can link to the reviews or if you type in "Todd" in the Search feature of this website you are linked to the reviews.

The reviews carry the title "DELISTED", which as I understand it is a way of weeding out the reviews for escorts who may no longer be active in order to simplify the database. I suppose it's possible that an escort could get delisted prematurely, because mistakes happen.

 

 

The delisting process was discussed in this recent thread:

The problem has been that the total number of escorts reviewed is HUGE. Some are retired or only escorted for a month. Others may still be in the biz but changed their email or phone. We only contact them to verify that they are escorting and that their information is current.

 

If we cannot contact them, they are delisted. This means their name and link to their reviews no longer appears in the list under that geographic location. Their file/reviews still exist and can be relisted immediately if we get confirmation they are working with valid contact info.

 

If a client reads a review and wants to hire an escort, it is a waste of that client's time to only find out he has no way of contacting the guy. The process is intended to minimize that frustration.

 

I hope this helps.

Sounds like a way to dodge bad reviews-- simply change your working name and number, and voila, a fresh start.

That's why I've always viewed this site as a review site and not a place for advertising. See the boys elsewhere, come here to see if the one you like is any good.

I agree - that is how I've always used this site. Never really occurred to me to come here for current contact info.

 

So now let me get this straight...assuming I'm able to hook up with Todd (for instance) via his info on another site, I would not be able to post a review here unless he himself comes here to verify his contact info. Just seems odd.

 

Wouldn't the 'delisting' thing work better if it was solely based on the age of the last review? Say a cut-off date of two years or so since the last review would put them on an 'inactive' list. (Which should still be viewable here by we who are interested.) (BTW, Todd's last review was pretty recent.)

No, If you reviewed him and submitted current contact info that would lead to him be listed again....with your review as well as the past ones.

Hey guys. A regular client of mine alerted me to this thread. Yes, I am still escorting.

 

Somehow I was "delisted". I sent HooBoy an email asking him to reactivate my profile. He said that Somehow my email address had bounced back and he thought that I was no longer active. I sent a verification with all the current info and hopefully will be reactivated soon. (Obviously Hooboy has other things on his mind right now.)

 

For those interested, my email address is HotMuscleJockLA@yahoo.com and my phone number is 323-632-1801.

Wow this is great news - and from THE MAN himself, no less! :-)

Thanks to all for the enlightening responses. This board rocks!
