Absolutely agree with the above post even if the doos attends the social then esa will know who he is. But cowards hide they never show their presence.

Then they will think the doos is a active punter.

A "meet in person" badge means nothing to me and no I am not going to travel 700 kilos just to meet someone of the ESA office for the purpose of satisfying a few unknown to me punters. I only punt when I am either in Pta or Jhb for business and that is also the reason why I do not write any reviews.

Don't worry Parra...
There is a context to most things.
Nobody expected you to find sufficient value there...

Expecting a punter to give-up his "privacy" to identify himself as a punter is rediculous.

ESA might as well remove the privacy rating from the reviews if thats the case.

Why worry about privacy when going for a punt, but attending a social to get a badge. Does not make sense to me.

Make phone numbers only visible to basic and GMs, is just as rediculous. Majority of punters are not register, and will not do so either with good reason. This will affect the SPs income more than a no-show or two.

100%

Some punters "like to be known" though

I gotta agree with both points here. Discretion, privacy, and anonymity is the name of the game. For the vast majority of punters this is first and foremost. They would rather not punt if a girl doesn't want to answer a private number than ever expose their details. A punter social is probably ludicrous to most people.

We are amongst the minority that actually sign up here that make this more than it is like hobbies or medicine. We are small numbers, small portion of the revenue but big influence because the majority will not review or leave any digital evidence.

As mentioned, anyone can go to a social. Any wg can take any random punter/friend she knows, say a fake name and let him say his XXX with her fake punter profile and get that badge and it will start being as unreliable as gold membership ratings or the current fake selfies.

This will be more a reason I would not attend one. The more random people to meet, the higher my risk but if it's a few select punters that I already trust where that trust has been built over years or honest comments, reviews, fights and disagreements, white knighting, and being a poes, why not? I trust known fake profiles as much as I trust "legit punters" that never have a tiff and give all 5's always.

I personally rather stick to my trusted punters with history and then only expand that trust to those that they trust with good reason. In this world where they justl keep coming up with loop holes like creating fake punter profiles, even buying GM, giving freebies and bareback to manipulate the system, no badge is going to make a difference to me and I'll view each response with scrutiny and literally ignore 90% of the new of fake shit all together.

This nonsense has been going in for decades. I've got messages from "punters" from over 19 years ago referring ladies etc and now it so blatantly obvious that even back then,ctgese where just wgs with fake profiles referring themselves.

All we can really do is keep our wits about us and cross check details with multiple reliable punters.

N4P

I want my "met in person badge" might even get vetted before the social.... Lol
