 my view is that the Covenant was probably written at least a couple of decades ago and really needs to be updated. I would urge the Aministrator to review and update it.

He may have some knitting to do first

There is clearly some confusion between what some members believe should be possible and what is stated in the Board Covenant - basically its rules. These state -

Personal information that can be used to identify a member, a user, or a go-go boy or bar boy, whether or not a Gay Thailand member, shall not be permitted. No member shall publish or cause to be published such personal information. A violation of the Covenant shall be cause for immediate termination of Forum privileges.

There is in fact a non-public section on this forum for reviews. It is not used much, either due to the conservative nature of the forum members or because people are generally unaware of it. Posts there receive very little engagement.

I think the reason is neither of the above. I think many are aware of the escort review forum, but unaware of the covenant. I think the absence of reviews with personal identifiers is simply because members simply don't want to post such reviews. They likely think it's just too crude. Sure, transactional sex is commodifying in itself, but that doesn't mean one cannot draw a line somewhere and still offer the service provider a fair degree of respect. Anatomical characteristics and in-bed services can be sensitive, and people may feel that just because we bought their services, it does not give us a right to broadcast all such details. It's quite a laudable position to take. It shows that forum members here instinctively accord the service provider basic dignity due to another human.

Peter, who said/wrote anything about "info used to identify" a provider ?

Refering to a guy by his grindr name or by his bar name/nmbr, doesnt expose his personal identity.

The writing is contained in a part of the Board which I think many members unwittingly never read. It is contained in the "Guidelines" section which you can see along the top. One section is headed "Covenant". In there you see the words - 

"Personal information that can be used to identify a member, a user, or a go-go boy or bar boy, whether or not a Gay Thailand member, shall not be permitted. No member shall publish or cause to be published such personal information."

Thus, strictly adhering to that wording, identifying individuals who work in bars by a number or a description can - at least in theory - result in being banned from posting for a period of time. As I stated in my earlier post, I believe these Guidelines were written at least a couple of decades ago. In other words, almost certainly before the age of personal phones and social media. It might be a good idea if they were rewritten and updated - but that has to be an issue for the Board owner.

I was not in fact referring to the Escort Review section which is hidden from public view as there are rarely any posts made in that forum. My remarks were a result of quite a number of members in many more general posts understandably wishing to know the name/number of a masseur, gogo boy or contact from social media who has given either particularly good or particularly bad service. Responses often give some information which might - I stress only "might" - go against the Covenant.

Perhaps some of us can write to the Board owner to suggest the Covenant is changed and brought up to date. 

PS: Apolgies to @spoon - I edited the penultimate paragraph about the Escort section being open only to members after his post was made.

Review sections are already there to be used for reviews. Whether forum members want to use it or not, its up to them. Those who believe we should, please use that section as it is member only section and wont be showing up in google search. 

As many here can already tell, not many of the members wanted to review specific provider here. Or use the section provided by the forum for exactly that. At least for Thailand. I see great reviews from the former toyboy websites though.

Hence my comment about the conservative outlook of the forum members. With your emphasis on dignity (and Spoon would also add respect for privacy), you put yourself broadly in that line of thinking. And you both have voiced opinions like this before. I say that free of any judgement. While you might argue with the label, It is a position it is easy to argue for, and it adds a more respectful atmosphere compared to another forum that many here are familiar with.

Vinapu’s position seems more postmodern in comparison, and it stands on, how should I put it, a bit rethorically shaky foundations.

Have you been talking to vinapu's orthopaedic doctor? He's been warned many times the reverse cowgirl isn't for everybody.

never short of self -esteem I'm happy you guys have fun at my expense and hope more members will join festivities.

This said , being proud graduate of grade Three I could use explanation what postmodern means in that context , not to mention that reverse cowgirl analogy it's completely not clear for me and i venture to say  , to few other readers as well. 

As for orthopaedic  doctor, there's none. My hair may be white,  but still , by grace of God , I never spent the night in hospital in my long , sin filled life. Medical stuff., so far , that be preserve of others to great extend and if I go to pharmacy , it's mainly to buy post stamps.

Your ability to take a joke, easygoing personality and not needing to have the last word every time probably have a lot to do with it. ✌️💪🫶🥂

I always wish you good health @vinapu and I will never want you to end up in hospital overnight in Thailand.

For the sake of the guys who share your stamp collecting hobby!

And they were confused why he had requested for stirrups to be fixed to the foot of his bed. They had to be brought over from the OB-GYN ward. 🤷
