New Vivastreet posting rules (UK) and online focus group

[Mirror]

Just checked. Vivastreet not likely to be any good in Gatwick. What you need to find is the closest Surrey postcode. If you type in escorts Gatwick to Google Vivastreet is page 5 but in Surrey Page 1.

Yeah but that's not the point, I also wonder what results come up when they're looking for their location - they won't sit wondering why they only get results somewhere else or nothing all. This is similar to what was happening in my area and is/was a pain in the neck.

Well maybe its because Gatwick is not an actual area ot town its just the airport your better off putting a Horley postcode in or Crawley one which those areas are right by Gatwick.

So, Vivastreet,

How come I see adverts with breasts, thighs, bums and you will not allow me to post a picture of my stocking clad thighs or my bum (professional and very tastefully shot pictures)??

The number of times I have had to refresh the page and rewrite my ad is laughable. As for uploading the pictures!!!!?

I am, frankly shocked at what is obviously one rule for some (agencies and some indies) and me. Your terms and conditions are ballocks.

I also see that you are thinking of introducing verification with passports and driving licences. That is seriously taking the piss.

If you think I am going to give you my private details when you won't allow me to write ANY details about the fact I sell my fanny for a living, you are seriously deluded.

I've paid my 9.99 to try an advert in my home area (along with 5 other escorts) but I won't be holding my breath.

Why don't you just stop allowing escorts to advertise? I'll be having to pose in a bloody pinafore with a rolling pin in my hand before long and writing about my 'sweet apple pie.'

You are as bad as the knob end clients your ads attract.

The verifying is ridiculous and just trying to copy Adultwork i think they have tried this verifying before but classified ads from self employed escorts should not be asked for this intrusive thing. Plus adultwork you can go on there for free Viva you cannot!!!

I honestly have no idea why they keep picking on certain escort ads over silly things but have other blatant nudity pics up there could it be deliberate to favour certain other advertisers over others? im not sure but its odd.

[Erotic Masseuse]

Vivastreet force SOME massage girls into the escort section, knowing a lot of their readers are foreign, so clients turn up expecting oral and sex when all the massage includes is a hand job, its a recipe for disaster and only a matter of time until a massage girl gets raped because of this.

[Vivastreet]

Under no circumstance do we force any advertiser into the E&M section, the rules are clear with this - any erotic massage will fall into the Escort and Massage category, fullstop. (It is called Escorts *and massage* for this reason). This will not change & this is the only section available for erotic/sensual massages.

EM, people are raped because that's what rapists do and it's the rapists who are entirely responsible, not Vivastreet or anything/anybody else. Please don't post shite like this on the forum.

Hiya,

Since moving to an automated system there are some images that are being rejected that really shouldn't be, I know it is annoying and we are working on 'tweaking' the system to be a little more relaxed with the rules. We think it is happening when the image is a close up (a zoomed in image of breasts for example could be rejected but not a zoomed out version of the same image).

Please do send us a copy of the images being rejected and we can look into why & hopefully have the rules of the system relaxed (but unfortunately cannot force the system to accept)

I know there are timewasters that get in contact, it is the con of us being top of the searches on Google - double edged sword! We are looking at ways that we could reduce TW by potentially having them verified etc so watch this space!

Any problems, please do feel free to contact us directly on es@vivastreet.com or CS on 0203 6958755.

Verifying timewasters??

Verifying timewasters??

Oh jesus you can never verify timewasters but it would help if the adverts could have more info on them to help us with timewasters.

Exactly - no way on this earth are VS ever going to be able to stop timewasters, but the more explicit we can be on our ads about booking procedures and services provided, the more chance we have of attracting some clients with half a brain.

Yes its to do with the profile how we attract clients and how things are wrote and worded this can stop some timewasters obviously not all as nothing ever will stop deliberate piss takers.

Early stages? This thread has run for years, much of our input ignored.
