Hi Esa

Congrats on the improvements however can't seem to understand why the general forum is linked to the advertisers section - why not seperate it completely as with other sections .
Almost get a feeling we corralled into seeing advertisements before seeing the forum - like all the sweets etc that line the payout queues .

But is that not the purpose of us advertisers on this site?

A mix and match for Punter and SP?


It is getting better and better

I like.

I like going through the forums.
In a way you get to "know" some of the ladies and can help you make an informed decision when making a booking.

a good personality can go just as far as firm but cheeks.

I also think it's fine. The separation makes it easier to see topics in the general section while keeping specials top of mind for the ladies.

It's nice middle ground for the ladies who feared specials would not get any attention with the separation.

I'm starting to get a sense that some of these gents are better off on Reddit instead of ESA.

I mean how dare we pay R600 a month to advertise on this site and promote our services.

We pay that money to this site BECAUSE they allow us to promote ourselves and services, in 'public' of you will,

The other sites that do not offer this feature charge a lot less to advertise with them.

This very feature is what puts ESA aside from the average advertising sites.

They mos now have put the advertiser promotion in a separate thingy and only show the top 5 on the general forum. It's not crowded. It's not getting in the way. We are not allowed to self promote on the general forum. It's exactly what you asked for.

Now you don't want to see promotions at all?

No man. Create a Reddit account if you want somewhere to talk kak and not have to read about promotions

No harm no foul for me. The ladies do get a chance to flight their promos and you can just scroll past. Just like "skip ads" on YouTube.

Only snag is that the filtering doesn't seem to be perfect yet, so some promos still trickle into the "General" section. But we can live with that.

I get it! And i still browse the promotions!
I dont want it to disappear. It is already under it's own heading. So what harm will it do to not have it appear (again) under general discussion? Moreover, when you open general discussion, only about half a page of the promos are visible. And you cannot directly scroll down there either...

And btw we also pay - so we are also allowed to say what we like - or not? :-)

So this weekend I was just relaxing and wanted to start a nice light hearted thread under General discussion. Unfortunately as a paying advertiser, I couldn't as the only options I now have is to post under..... Advertiser Promotions
Punter Reviews
Off the Beaten Track....

I know ESA tries to improve the site, but I don't just want to post promotions. I would also like to start a conversation that has nothing to do with rates etc.

We have brought this to ESA's attention a couple of weeks ago and I thought they would've changed it, but nothing.

Please can ESA explain why, the ladies and gents that are registered as advertisers, aren't allowed to start threads in the General Discussion section anymore. I am sorry, but I don't like this change and would like to be able to have a voice again on the General Discussion page.
Feedback would be appreciated.
