short1 102 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 FYI, The Erotic Review is no longer accepting reviews for SPs who advertise only on the Escorts Canada site. I tried to post a review there for the fabulous Foxy, and was told that they were no longer accepting EC advertised providers. If anyone has any more info, please share. Cheers, short1:confused: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mod 135640 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 This is news to us. Did they give you a reason for this or tell you what websites were allowed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
short1 102 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 The first reason given was that they (TER) wouldn't post any information from competing escort review sites. I e-mailed back saying that EC was an advertising site only, and submitted my review again, only to be told that they were no longer accepting EC advertisers, with no further explanation. I've noticed that the administrators of TER have removed the EC website references from their existing reviews, and now just say report new website.

mod 135640 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 Thanks for the info, we will need to talk to them about this and see what is the reason for this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHE DEVIL 16331 Report post Posted June 22, 2008 Giant erotic review website is on the spot over its unethical practices which have been orchestrated by its CEO Dave Elms. EroticReview.com is North America?s largest escort-listings website, like the Progresja.com. Progresja.com is a Warsaw Poland based giant online website. It has been organizing concerts since late 2003. It is now located at Kaliskiego 15a in Bemowo District in Warsaw. Theeroticreview.com is on the spot for its malpractices which have led to the arrest of its CEO Dave Elms to be arrested. Elms was arrested in Torrance, Calif. on June 4. He has a record in prostitution, drug, and firearms charges. Internet-based escorts are accusing Elms for rape and extortion based on what they say is Elms and the company?s pattern of removing the escort?s reviews from Theeroticreview.com site and placing them back after having unprotected sex with the escorts. Theeroticreview.com is featured in youtuporn which is a Local Phone Sex channel which also offers Cheapest Phone Sex in the market. http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/entertainment/theeroticreviewcom-is-in-trouble_10061721.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mod 135640 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 oh my! I try to stay on top of the news... how did I miss this one! Thanks for the link Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
short1 102 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 I googled David Elms and found a lot of articles on this sleazy weasel and his despicable ways. While still a great resource for the industry (providers and hobbyists alike) these allegations make me look at the site a little differently. I spend a fair amount of time in the states, and find the reviews to be a great help in setting up meetings, I've found some great experiences through this site. I'm hoping someone with a stronger sense of ethics ends up with this site and runs it properly. Maybe I'm a little thick, but I don't see how all this causes TER to ban ads from Ec. Thanks for the link and info! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHE DEVIL 16331 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) The US government has been trying to shut down TER for a while. Like most cases, they got him on totally unrelated shit. EC has it's own review/recommendation board, and no one likes competition. Many review sites don't allow external competing web links.

mod 135640 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 You know a few years ago Dave (Dave in Phoenix) who is the owner or ter from my understanding was posting on all the review sites and was fairly well liked. I remember back in the days of lyla.com Dave was posting about his travels and was well known (and liked) to other members for his good info. I don't recall off hand anyone ever saying he was doing wrong or using this to his advantage... also that site is very popular so it probably makes pretty good money from the advertisers so why would he blackmail a SP and take the chance of damaging the sites reputation or his own? If the site is making good money as he could just use the revenue for his own hobbing. It doesn't make a lot of sense really but anything is possible so don't take this the wrong way! I am just saying it could it be a set up... but if the charges are legit I do hope he gets convicted as I agree 100% that no one should blackmail another person. Have any of the ladies here been approached by anyone from ter offering good reviews in exchange with sexual favors? PM me please if you have (or know of someone who has). I don't like to string someone up unless we have all the facts. We all know that just because someone is charged for something does not make them guilty so be sure not to judge until you feel you have substantial information to go either way. Back to the original problem... ter and cerb are not competitive sites and they know that for sure... banning escorts-canada from ter would be silly as escorts-canada is such a popular site in Canada for escorts but I do know other directories do pay for advertising on that site so maybe they agreed to some exclusive thing with ter. If he has lawyer fee's I could see the need to do something like that. I am not sure so I did send a email and hopefully we can clear that up either way. Many people enjoy ter and I do recall a few years ago that the bigdog site had some legal trouble as well and they are still online and alive.... so we will just have to wait and see what happens.

mod 135640 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 Looks like the court case is July 1st 2008 from what I can find online. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
short1 102 Report post Posted June 25, 2008 It looks like a change at TER, there is recent review posted for Tawny from Victoria, and her only website is her EC advertisement. Maybe I'll try posting my review of Foxy again and see what happens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mod 135640 Report post Posted June 26, 2008 What it probably is due to is that if the lady stops running her ad with EC then the link goes dead to her ad... we have no problems with TER and as far as I know they have no issues with us. TER is a good resource and had grown significantly over the years, people are trying to get them shut down (Other sites went thru the same stuff as well in the USA)... I hear a lot of stuff in the industry and I honestly can not remember hearing anything bad about Dave or TER. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
short1 102 Report post Posted June 28, 2008 I've given up on TER and cancelled my membership. After trying to once again post my review of the wonderful Foxy, it was refused on the original premise that Escorts Canada is a competing review site. When I wrote back and asked how Tawny of Victoria had a review posted on June 25, since her only ad was on EC, I was told by the TER administrators that the Escorts Canada website was no longer online!! WTF!?!? How can they be so ignorant? Anyway, TER is no longer on my radar. Too bad, since they were once upon a time a resource I depended on, but now have lost all credibility in my eyes.

mod 135640 Report post Posted June 28, 2008 TIP: A trick exist to circumvent this. In the URL replace http://www.escorts-canada.com with http://www.adultad.net and that get's around stuff like that. In case your run into this somewhere else as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tin_Man001 100 Report post Posted June 29, 2008 Seems to me that this is not the first time he has been accused of such things. I can not remember were to tfind the info, but I recall hearing that he bounced a number of ladies for not having sex with him a few years ago.
