Is it worth reviewing Vivastreet Asian escorts?

Is it worth reviewing Vivastreet Asian escorts and massages?
Seen a few recently and in no time the profile has gone so would a review be pointless?

[Zimbaman]

I think yes. Even if the escort you have reviewed moves on, the bigger picture from multiple reviews gives confidence (or lack of it) in booking someone from VS.

We all know the girl in the photos are not the girls we see.
I’m on holiday soon so will pen a couple of reviews when I’m back.

[big-al93]

If anything that makes the review more important imho, obviously as most are some sort of B&S ymmv and get a completely different SP opening the door.

[LLPunting]

The ads may disappear but the presence of SPs does not necessarily similarly fluctuate. Recording encounters in an area is pertinent to what's on offer, the volatility ir consistency of that market, the value it represents, how safe it might be, etc.

The fact they disappear quickly, NOT just Chinese ads, is all the more reason to review rapidly, so that others are better ibformed to avoid or enjoy what is available when they are minded to spend.

Well I think it is pointless and never read those reviews.
You are not likely to meet the WG in the review unless you are very quick or lucky.
VS is the last place I would look for a WG.
For all its failings with AW you have a fighting chance of meeting the WG you want to see.

I totally agree about what’s the point if it’s a conveyor belt operation.
You might as well do a Rightmove review of the property.. “it’s in a crap area with a damp problem, sound first time investment “

Well I think all reviews add value to the site and to tell people otherwise goes against the ethos of the site, we encourage members to review.

Members who only see SPs from VS but don't review because they're told it's pointless run the risk of falling foul of rule #27.

We welcome questions and participation, but members who only ask without posting reviews may be flagged as non-contributing. Once flagged, a 30 day timer begins.

To answer the OP's question, yes if you've seen an SP from VS post a review, if you can get a screenshot of the advert all the better, if not post the contact details that are allowed under the rules.

There's loads of threads on here about VS so we should all know what it's like for dodgy and fake adverts, B&S etc but a review will give information as to the accuracy of any photos.

VS aren't the only adverts that disapear, on occasion we get AW links that are no longer active.

See above post, reviews should not be discouraged.

Always click the SMS button to reveal phone number, then screenshot the listing.  Review including the number in 07 and 447 format.
It allows us  to perform a quick due diligence check

Apologies, I have done a few reviews for vivastreet Asian massage places. I did one not so long ago in Salisbury a few weeks ago. It’s a totally lottery to what’s be hind the magic door

This is key
Profiles change or are replaced on every move. But phone numbers and photos get reused.
It's important that with all Vivastreet reviews the phone numbers (in both formats as above) and at least some of the photos are copied into the review.
Don't simply screenshot the listing - that's a waste of time as then the phone number can't be searched, and image search doesn't work.
Copy and paste the actual phone numbers as text - that way the forum (and Google) search will find it.
And copy and insert the photos into the review so they can also be found by reverse image searches

Well without wishing to get into a spat with you Davie the OP asked a question and I answered it as my opinion.
I did not say that reviewing as such is pointless and consider most reviews to be worthwhile.
Indeed, 10 years on and with treatment for life threatening bowel cancer I still manage to get the odd review in.
I do that to help others and hopefully maintain the ethos of the site.
However I still believe that reviewing a WG who is likely to be a B & S and will be gone at the end of the week is pointless.
What good is it to anyone the following week when she has been replaced by someone else ?
As I say, don't want to get into a spat but that is my opinion.

Members should be encouraged to post reviews not put off by being told they are pointless.

1 Site ethos/mission
This Forum puts the interests of Punters first through the sharing of Reviews. The Forum does not endorse or promote any service provider or any other site. This site is totally independent—no favouritism, special treatment, vested interests, or pandering to service providers. We encourage all members to share their reviews to help others and keep the community thriving. General chat relating to Punting is allowed on the appropriate board.

The rules are very clear that we encourage all members to post reviews, telling people it's pointless goes against that.

I you feel it isn't worth posting a review of a VS booking then don't post a review of one but others should not be discouraged just because you don't find them useful or read them, every review has a value.

Details of VS adverts posted in reviews give useful information when searching phone numbers or similar adverts either locally or in other areas and that in turn helps to identify out and out fakes.

Some AW listed SPs (or their managements) occasionally or concurrently use other listing sites including VS, sometimes with different phone numbers.  Punters don't always do due diligence here to establish if an AW listing exists (historically) for the SP and only after they review do other veterans make the connection and allow us to index into her history.

Even though the ads may be fronts for brothels or groups of SPs recycling the ad as they rota in from their foreign base, they can orovide a reliable contact for a group and as such gives us some means of tracking (and linking) to operations that are worth avoiding or considering.  It is no worse than a B&S.

I am not discouraging anyone from posting a review.

If we can't express an opinion then what's the point ?

How does stating that something is pointless not discourage others from posting? 

The opinion you are expressing goes against the rules and ethos of the site, members should be encouraged to post reviews not told they are pointless, more so when not posting reviews can get a member banned.

Officially, bookings from VivaStreet adverts are most definitely worth reviewing and are expected especially if that is the only source of a member's bookings. No review is pointless. Something for reasons only you know you are disagreeing with.

For the sake of clarity, there's been an update of rule#27.

If the rules are getting updated, then I think rule #28 has had its time.

Great question from the OP, and some very good answers.

The only rules that have been updated are #1 and #27 and that is to reflect the change in the way mods address non contributing members in order to  continue the efforts to make the place more friendly. We no longer ask members why they haven't contributed, instead we remind them of the rules and take any other action we deem appropriate after considering the individual circumstances.

Rule #28 is not doing any harm and Covid is still a thing even if it is no longer the threat it was.

The only answers to the OP's question members should take notice of is yes reviews of VS profiles should be posted along with information detailed in this thread. There's loads of AW reviews where the profile is no longer active, doesn't make them pointless either.

The rules are very clear "we encourage reviews", as with any review, members are expected to read them, take from them the information they find useful, ignore what they don't and act accordingly. Just because an individual member thinks a review is pointless does not mean it is, all reviews are worthwhile.
