Security for SP's when writing a review

[PilotMan]

Fellow punters.

I've read two reviews today where the reviewer has stated that "She lives alone in her apartment"   

By writing something like this you are giving a green light to all the fucking low life's out there who rob SP's - it happens more than you might think.

• A female living on her own with guaranteed cash on the premises
  
  An SP is unlikely to cause a ruckus because she doesn't want to come to the attention of her neighbours
  
  SP's are unlikely to report a crime for obvious reasons

Use your noddle, please do not write anything that brings the SP to the attention of people with bad intentions, or could jeopardise her security in any way.

I think there are guides to writing reviews on UKP, so the things you should and shouldn't write about. Reckon its worth pinning to each section as its clearly being missed? Then again I would think its common sense to not say "she lives alone" or something. Seems the standards of discretion are going out the window, as just saw another review with personal information (that was quickly removed).

To add to this, if anyone is commenting on something in a review or post that shouldn't be there please do NOT repeat or quote it, best solution is to report it.

Instead of saying "OP, you shouldn't post that she lives alone, it might cause her issues" say "OP don't post personal info".

I totally agree; if only common sense were more common 

Some Forum Helpers and some members, do keep an eye out for stuff that shouldn't be there, particularly personal information, and report it. Understandably the MODS are very quick to act on it. It doesn't help the reputation of the forum to be posting anything personal / private that harms the SP.

I read the Guide to Writing Reviews. Whilst it states, do not enter specific location details, it doesn't give any tips on not including things in a review, that could jeopardise the security of an SP.

I think it was just a coincidence that there were two reviews posted today within a short space of each other, that had potentially harmful personal information on. I don't believe the information posted was deliberately meant to be harmful, I just think both reviewers didn't think through what they were posting. Again, common sense doesn't always prevail.

Hence why I wrote this post.

Exactly, use your noddle, and if any member sees personal information that he feels shouldn't be there, just report the post with the information in it, and the MODS will handle it. If the MODS feel nothing is wrong, and no action is necessary, then there's no harm done.

Apart from the obvious discretion issue it's also against the rules.

22 Privacy of service providers
Personal information about service providers must not be shared.
No social media content is permitted under any circumstances. This includes links, URLs, usernames, handles, profile names, personal profiles, business pages, professional pages and any other information that identifies or directs users to a social media account. This applies to all social media platforms, whether the account is public or private.
Photos of service providers may only be posted if they are currently used in their UKP advertisement. Photos taken from WhatsApp, social media or other private sources are prohibited, as are reposted photos no longer used in a current advert.
Phone numbers are only permitted if publicly displayed in a current advertisement. Personal numbers and room numbers are prohibited. Hotels may be named, but not specific rooms, house numbers or street addresses.
General descriptions of in-call locations are permitted, but exact house numbers and street names are not.
Media-related work, including modelling or pornography, may be shared where the individual has deliberately sought publicity. News items are also permitted.
These restrictions do not apply to individuals with criminal convictions or documented past name changes, which are not censored.

Plus if we don't allow exact details of incall locations what makes people think 'she lives there', 'she works alone' and the like would be acceptable?
