in response to a recent post, and in deference to those "veterans" who are just trying to get their post counts up by repeating "do a search" 14 times a day, we offer the following suggestions...with much thanks to badkat and free willie dave...
""quick pointers for 411s""

I would like to respectfully make a few pointers that will contribute greatly to preventing the forum from being clogged with redundant topics that have already been covered many, many times:

1. The information that you seek is probably already out there. Before posting a 411 do a quick search --*including* the archives-- on the name of that provider or establishment. You will have to have a registered handle and log-in first to do the search, but if you are truly an RB brother, you will have done this already anyway.

2. Check the review section before posting a 411. You can become an RB member easily by doing one of two things: to become a VIP member, the cost is I think $10.95/month. It entitles you to the latest submitted reviews on nearly a daily basis, and it also gives the RB rankings as well as a search function. Great resource for getting info quickly and easily.

You can also become a normal RB member by submitting a review. Once your review is accepted, then you will receive access to the normal review area, which is updated less often and doesn't have the search or rankings features. But it is FREE. You will need to submit reviews periodically to maintain your free access to the reviews.

You can also get FREE information by searching here:

**IF*** after having done both a search of the boards and the reviews you still have not found the info that you are looking for, THEN post a 411. This is a great resource for hot-off-the-press info on a girl who is so new that there just hasn't been any time to get info on her yet. But somebody might have just seen her, or be willing to 'take one for the team'.

IF you truly are an 'RB Brother', then you will have both a registered login handle and one of the two types of memberships, and thus be able to perform both functions easily.

Also, please note that the 411 IS NOT the place to post reviews, even "mini" ones...if you feel that you absolutely must crow about a great session, submit a review.

And...please, if all you're going to say is "do a search," please don't bother...maybe it'd be better if those questions just don't get answered at all...then maybe folks would read these relatively simple guidelines and we'd spend a little less time bitching at each other...

Please, no Polls in this section

Thanks for your cooperation.

.........................

When posting in the 411 section, please include the name of the provider you are searching for info on, in the Subject Header.
Good: "411 on Lisa in South Bay"
Bad: "She looks sexy" or "Any info on this one"

Also, if possible, post a URL to the lady you are seeking info on.

Thank you.
