I have this happen occasionally. The last instance was each time I modified without adding photos just the text. I would get a message sent to me. It used to irritate me but now just let them get on with it. If it became a major loss of photos they will be hearing from me.

VS always are like this since I have been advertising with them in 2011. They haven't improved since so it doesn't look like they will now.

My advice is to put fully clothed ones up that show the whole body down to the knees.

Thanks for your responses, ladies, they are much appreciated.

With regards to the photos themselves, they are as tame as you could possibly get - I am talking black negligee, which fully covers me, little black dress, basque and stockings, etc.... I am not showing any flesh that could be in any way be classified as 'naughty bits'.

Another thing I find laughable is their note advising us sternly not to show any 'naughty bits' when posting photos, and yet when I look at their escort section, I can see plenty of girls on there who are posing not just topless, but completely naked! It beggars belief, it really does.

I haven't personally corresponded with Finny so far, but I hope that either she or one of the staff makes an effort to rectify this, as it has really upset me, considering my financial status at the moment - I cannot afford to be paying out over ?44 for an advert, only to end up being invisible to clients on that site. Even Adultwork, with all its negative points, seems preferable to this kind of treatment right now, and that is really saying something!

Hi Francesca,

Sorry to hear you are having issues, can you please drop me an email es@vivastreet.com with your ad id and photo's? I can then investigate why the pictures were removed. Just to let you know we do not allow any nudity below the waist and that is for all users, you should not be able to see any ads with that level of nudity.

Thank you,

The Vivastreet Team - Finny

Hi MeetingDiversity,

Just to let you know we have almost completed our new photo system and this should greatly cut down on moderator mistakes when it comes to photos. Also for those that choose we will also have a photo ID verification system, we are hoping to have the new system in the coming months.

Thank you,

The Vivastreet Team - Finny

Oh, I think there would be interest if you hosted one in Manchester!

Hi Fabulassie,

Good news! We are looking to organise a Manchester focus group in June. We are wondering what type of venue people would prefer (all will be in the city centre).

A room in a local sex worker charity office
A meeting room at a hotel
A meeting room (private) at a bar / club

Any other idea's are welcome and once we have a firm plan, we will circulate more details.

Thank you,

The Vivastreet Team - Finny

I'd be happy with any of those, although I do like the idea of being near a bar.

I may be able to attend, if you can bear me!

Great! We just wanted to double check on the options before preceding to the planing stage.

Hi Mirror, the date we are currently looking at is Friday the 10th of June, the more the merrier! Some of the UK team will be present along with potentially some familiar faces from local groups and charities. I am also hoping to attend, be nice to finally put faces to names

If anyone is interested in attending please do email me es@vivastreet.com, but we will be sending out more communication once we have the final plan in place.

Thank you,

That is strange indeed. My friend found the same, a lot of timewasters but for some reason it works for me.

There must be another factor. I'm older, maybe that's a reason? I have no idea why it works for some and not for others but there have been days where it has saved my life work-wise.

I don't agree with them spamming anyone but they haven't targeted me yet.

For the first time, Vivastreet has worked for me this week. In the past, I'd make my money back and then get fed up with timewasters. I sometimes used a different phone number just to avoid the harassment and sometimes I'd just turn it off once I'd made my money back.

I put up an ad a couple of weeks ago. I didn't pay for any extras other than touring location change and linking my website. Bunch of twats called, but I got one good booking. Then it quietened down. Vivastreet sent out the "UH-oh! Your advert is getting less attention!" email that is meant to get us to upgrade. Ignored it.

My Google Analytics showed that there was a fairly decent click-through to my website, which declined as my advert slipped down in the listings. No biggie. I knew that there were relatively few adverts in my upcoming touring location so I expect it would still be useful there.

Then this week I suddenly got several good bookings from VS. Six one-hour bookings, all of them nice middle-aged guys. Two of them specifically said that they'd booked me because they liked my website. All of them had refined their search to women in my age group (I'm older).

My rates are higher than all but one other escort in my area and demographic. These guys just skipped over the adverts with glossy photos, bypassed the featured/VIP stuff, and sought out someone like me. They were all wonderful bookings.

So, I'm sticking with Vivastreet for now. I'm not sure I'll bother with any sort of featuring as staying towards the top just attracts the timewasters. However, I am going to create a brand-new advert every month so that the date on my advert is fresh - I don't like the implication that the photos and information is out-of-date, even if it's been updated regularly.

Am I not even allowed to write "Massage in xxxx area and xxxx area." without your mods removing the areas leaving the work Massage with not even a full stop at the end making it look like I'm the one who can't use basic punctuation??? Also removing the area from my headline too and leaving a spelling mistake. Ok, I get it wrong sometimes and mis spell but annoying when Vivastreet does it for me. Finny, can't you just take charge and get rid of everybody else?

Morning LOTM,

You should indeed be allowed to write what you have said above, so apologies if that has been removed. We did have a new intake of moderators for the UK team as the business keeps growing on all fronts, but this should not be an excuse as they do have extensive training before they are let 'lose' on the adverts. I have spoken with the CS team leader and unfortunately some do pass the training but dont quite cut the mustard once on the live system.

Can you pop me an email with your ad id and I will investigate and get back to you. I wish I had time to do all the adverts and photos but its a team of 14 at the moment and growing fast (just in the UK).

If you would like to take an advertising package eg a bundle of features, I can pass your details over to our account management team who would personally look after your ad and you would have one point of contact going forward? If so just let me know in your email.

Thank you,

The Vivastreet Team - Finny

Hi

I'm trying to post a new ad on Vivastreet and when I go to submit the ad it comes up with the message "This is a professional account, please select accordingly" next to the Independent/Agency drop down box. As I am independent I have selected this but it still doesn't let me go any further!

Please help!

Fabulassie · « **Reply #613 on:** 01 March 2016, 12:12:09 pm »

Try calling them - they're really very helpful.

Hi Kate_X,

Its sounds like when your first set up your account you may have selected it as an agency or professional, which then means you can not post as an independent. If you call our CS team on 0203-695-8755 they will be able to update your account or feel free to email me direct es@vivastreet.com and I can also help.

Thank you,
