When you help other rb brothers out I know discretion is a must even though I see others not doing this. What are the boundaries in being discrete ??

Is showing reviews being a snitch ??

I know being to graphic is not being discrete.

Any help in your wisdom will help me make good decisions.

I don't get your concerns. I must be missing something here. Who are we showing the review to? a cop? I suppose if you took a review to a cop and gave him the real name and the real address of the provider, then you would be a snitch. However, nobody does that. Do you mean writing reviews?

Actually, I don't understand any of this post. Not being discrete would have more to do with giving away the true identity of someone. How is writing a detailed review of someone who is already advertising on this site and using a fake name not being discrete? I don't write graphic reviews, but I don't think that discreteness is at issue.

   I am a clean respectable guy that treats girls well . When a provider rips me off with shit service or takes my money and runs then I feel like it should be reviewed so nobody has to go through this shit of getting robbed . Some guys might hurt a girl that does these things so exposing them is really good for all .

   If you are talking about honesty in reviews and posts, that what's they are all about. I depend a lot on reviews when seeing a girl for the first time. Otherwise, all I know is what she chooses to put in her ad which may or may not be factual. i.e. I want to know if her bj is covered or not, or if her pic's are real. The only way for me to know for sure is to see what other guys have posted. That's also why I post reviews that are honest and graphic.

I am only loyal to people who have shown that they are loyal and invested in some form to our relationship.

I would only share information with those who are discreet and proven loyal friends. So inbox from strangers asking about specifics will get very little to none.

Also there are some men who study others reviews in great detail and seek to impress others by stating not so discrete details of women they didn't even meet or could afford to meet. I call them bottom feeders of RB and anything you share with them will be publicly announced. They do not share anything about their own (real) hobby activities because they are afraid to be outed as free loaders.

"RB brotherhood" is an illusion some chronic "user"s want you to believe and there are people who will abuse the information you share with them. In the same manner women who are not invested in you would do the same. Or back stab other women they ignorantly regard as competition. Even worse, there are weak people who only get some sense of power by manipulating others. They usually love to start drama based on your "information".

Sharing one woman's private information with other woman is a sure sign that you are NOT discreet. Many newbies for some reason think this will impress women. It will do exactly the opposite.

Just like any social networking site there are people who would abuse the information you share...some malicious some due to their own stupidity.

If you are VIP member, some men and women will ask you to copy and paste the latest reviews. While it is a small favor and understandable you want to be nice to your ATF etc. But do think about how much fun you do have at this site and how this would undercut little income Red makes from this site.

Pohaku, thank you for lending some insights based upon extensive experience.

In fact, that final point you made happened to me this week and I didn't know how to deal with it when a provider asked me to copy and paste the review to her as it was pending for her but immediately available for VIP access.

It's always been an issue of curiosity to me whether this is a soure of "little income" for Red as you mention, or if in fact it's generating billions and zillions given how many new members join constantly apparently and the overwhelming flood of new ladies too.

   It's not generating billions or zillions. And is a lot of work for the owners.

You're snitching if you go to a cop, or tell on people to beat a legal case. You are not snitching if you post an honest review.

My only qualification of this is that you shouldn't break a promise....tell a hooker you are not going to do a review and then do one. If she specifies "no review" say "SORRY" and move on to the next girl.

It's always been an issue of curiosity to me whether this is a source of "little income" for Red as you mention, or if in fact it's generating billions and zillions...

Here's my take on it....

There is no commercial advertising on Redbook. Much of it is available for free. And it costs a pretty penny to maintain a site that stores years of message threads /reviews /user accounts, supports multiple chat rooms with cams, and handles hundreds of thousands of hits in the classified section. Redbook is still here, so it must be making money, but in other hands it would be making more.

Originally, all of Redbook was free. It grew out of a USENET newsgroup. Its goal was transparency, and posting a review would get you a password. The world has moved on, but echos of the original concept remain -- including "RB brotherhood," which, as Pohaku warns us, is all too often abused. The concept was much stronger when the Web was new, and all we had was the back pages of The Spectator.

That is a good way of defining it, bones. The dictionary definition of discrete was not of much use, but the concrete examples you give are good.

FriscoJack & Aprime, the Charter/Owner men add much more than just history lessons for the rest of us. And the insights into how RB got where it is and what all's entailed in operations and revenue streams is illuminating, so thank you.

I may not have much to contribute, but in the event that some of the rest of us used to cringe when professors scrawled "WW" for wrong word in the column of essays & papers submitted, it may also grate on your nerves to see this continually happening here.

Final point: On the topic of the provider who lacks VIP status requesting a cut & paste job of a review, what say you Charters? NO?

Thanks, SureLets, for the kind words.

As far as Charter member status goes, it's another concept that can be abused. All it really means is that we had active accounts when the message Board was moved to a new platform. Around 2002 I think, but someone else will know the exact date. IMHO, longevity counts for something, but quality of participation is what really counts.

As far as VIP status is concerned, my personal feeling is that anyone who can afford to play should be able cough up a few bucks a month for a membership. The value returned easily exceeds that. For providers, it's a small cost of doing business.

Appreciate your comments, and -- just for that -- I'll give you a free pass on the grammar link.

peas,
Aprime

Posting an honest review is helping brother hobbyists. Posting personal info, assuming you had any, would be snitching.

An example of the former: "Gigi" doesn't DFK nor provides BBBJ."

An example of the latter: "Gigi's" real name is Sharon Schwartz and she providing incall at the Sunnyvale Hilton this week out of room 2312.

   "Is showing reviews being a snitch ??"

No. I don't why you would think so.

Please clarify. Are you talking about showing a provider reviews made about her?

1. What you be your reason for doing so? Ingratiating yourself with the expectation of gratitude or extras?

2. The information is freely available, unless you are providing VIP information to someone who hasn't paid for VIP access, in which case this could be characterized as "mooching", but hardly snitching.

3. The review system is subjected and non verifiable.

4. If your talking about negative reviews I would once again, ask your motivation in doing so.

I agree with Dai Lun. A hobbyist should never share review information with a provider. Especially since the only reasons for doing so pretty much cause one to fall into either the White Knight or Pathetic Loser categories. And writing or posting a provider-written review as your own while still with the lady is even worse than that. It goes against everything that this board stands for. And, of course, it happens every day. Still doesn't make it right.
