I'm not on the staff, but...
Yes, anyone with access to the board can read the entire review. There is no "BCD" tag function like on ASPD.
There are some "guys only" forums, and probably "ladies only" and "staff only" forums.

I kind of like the open comments of the reviews. Since they are open for all to see, the language and intimate details have been cleaned up a lot.
My concern is having a review that reveals too much information. BCD at least gives some privacy to the review and offers the element of surprise when a guy has to pay to access it. I think it does a disservice for me in particular when just anyone can read the blow by blow and the full disclosure of it all makes me rather nervous.
I realize this is a new board and thank gosh it is private. I am extremely happy that screening members is a must here and this does lessen my anxiety, but I can’t wait until BCD to come back.

Put the general info on the review page and then do a follow-up post in the locker rooms if you wish to share more intimate information. It is sort of a poor man's BCD until something better can be figured out or ASPD is restored.
Hope that helps. . .
I'm wondering if reviews here can count towards BCD credit.
Oh, wait, maybe I should start a thread asking this. No, I'm sure some mod will see it and answer.

I noticed I had a review in the Houston Reviews, and it was posted by CK1942 for Pancho1944. I assume this was a review that was found in the archives? I want to thank you CK1942 for posting the BCD comments in the Locker Room, that makes me feel a lot better. :)
Warm hugs

Even on ASPD, I always assumed any of the ladies who really wanted to read the comments in a review could find a way to do it.
Okay, I am confused... I can read all the BCD on reviews, except the comments that were posted on a review for me. So in order to not open a can of worms,,,, is the non comments because I asked so???
Yardape in the past no provider had access to bcd comments unless she had paid for a badge or banner advertisement. Although from what I understand anyone could purchase BCD,, which is common with most review and forum boards. Most sites make you join and pay for a membership to view; reviews, VIP, BCD and providers personal profiles. On other sites a provider pays for a sponsered ad, which means anyone accessing the site can read her ads and access her email and phone number without paying to join the site.
We as providers have been blessed by ASPD being a free board to post on and as for the hobbyist/ lurker- newbie a free chance to read the non-bcd of a review of a provider before meeting. Maybe we all took ASPD for granted,, huh?? I have not seen any other review and discussion board that dances as great as ASPD. I miss ASPD and I know what side of the bread my toast was buttered.
Mods? Any answer on this?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Ghostface147 @ Mar 4 2009, 12:07 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div>I have a couple of reviews to write and have been searching the site to learn how to do it here. Looks like the best way might be as someone else wrote, show the preliminaries in the review forum and comments in the Locker Room. I agree that too much detail could be inappropriate for open viewing, but if too generic it will be of little help to guys in making decisions. Thanks to all for the help.Quote:

I like that the providers can read my reviews. If some not ok with that, they put in the locker room the bcd part.
Would also like to see review from the providers view. But sure many do not think as I do.
I do miss ASPD, look as maybe soon. But, will I then Miss Home2. I like this smaller home. Would like to know if both would stay open? Time will tell.
