H2 is not, never has been, P411! Screening/references are still necessary!

[Fancyinheels]

Since there seems to be continuing misunderstandings on both sides, let me make some CRYSTAL CLEAR statements:

As stated in the stickied thread on verification in the Welcome Wagon, gents should STILL expect to be screened before seeing a lass, and chief admin ck1942 has also indicated numerous times that verification is NOT a substitute for screening on the part of ladies. H2 has never intended or pretended to be another P411.

Hobbyists, please do not be offended when Companions refuse to see you without screening or references even if you are verified. Verification of members is for SITE purposes only, and while it's a wee bit of extra reassurance for the membership, it's blind. Members are NOT, for reasons of privacy, going to be cognizant of who has vouched for whom. Companions have to feel comfortable seeing you, so they are going to need to know, and check with, providers you have visited before, and in lieu of that will likely want to do additional research as determined by their own requirements.

Companions, again I say that H2 is not P411! Do NOT rely on member verification as a sole alternative to screening and/or obtaining references from Hobbyists. It is up to YOU to keep YOURSELVES safe! How you do so is personal choice, but please do not place that responsibility on H2, a discussion and review board.

This thread is not about either reference or screening requirements, or even the vouch/verification process itself, so please save analysis of those for other topics. It is strictly a clarifying PSA that can be linked to if the need arises. Thanks. -- Fancy, H2 Community Guide/staff

I thought everyone knew this.

I thought everyone knew this.

Apparently not, as confusion keeps popping up.

I accept OH2 gents when traveling and simply ask, who vouched for you? Then I confirm with the ladies. They are free to give me others as well, but the ladies who provide vouches tend to respond quickly.

I have no idea who vouched for me. I never asked anyone to vouch for me ... It must be my tainted charm ...

Of course the ladies should screen, even with P411. The fuck weasels who do not understand the need for screening should find another hobby.

Thanks for spelling it out again FH.

I'm finding it hard to get the ladies to answer...I get names as references and message the lady yet they never answer so it makes it hard to screen...😶 I am newbie friendly and am happy to answer any lady who asks me 💋 be safe everyone and Merry Christmas 🎄

[Fancyinheels]

Bump.

[Fancyinheels]

And bump again by request.

I am bumping this because as some ladies such as myself are requiring the references and some WELL ESTABLISHED ladies DO NOT respond. This can be very frustrating when a lady like myself will give a honest vouch/reference. I think ladies should respond promptly because you never know when you may need to verify someone and well... being rude will bite you in the ass eventually.

I hate to say it but it's useless and have walked a mile in your shoes Bae. The old school ways are almost gone and most women are relying on the tried and true single handed screening. Everyone gets the cold-shoulder treatment by >someone and every excuse in the book is used if you call the out. Dog eat dog world !!! I have learned that it is quicker & easier to do my own screening instead of twiddling my thumbs for nothing. The guys are usually open to something that is faster & will benefit him

Girls will do what they want. You are preaching to the choir.

True, but the intent if this thread is merely to clarify, not convince, and serve as an FYI to the choir. For those who need it, this gives a clear statement by a member of staff that can be linked to, as many new local fellows were under the fallacy that once verified, they do not need to undergo screening. A few lusty ladies also haven't fully understood that verification isn't a method of screening, and is for site purposes only.

And you, sir, are not legit in any event, so cheerio!
