kick yourself in the head
I understand this business. I know very well how things work. I am a member on another forum where a private blacklist is maintained. I have never contributed to it.
Lists such as this may start out being created for the girls safety. Maybe the intention was to make a note of armed felons who robbed a girl at gunpoint or of a rapist who showed up with 4 of his buddies. The problem is that it gets added to. First thing you know, the list is populated by guys who didn't show up for an appointment, who were rude on an e-mail, who hung up the phone on a girl.
This is ridiculous. I can't tell you how many times players have played on the phone with me and finally, one day, ended up booking for real. You need to understand this from the client's perspective too.
Sure some clients never learned how to take a shower. Some must think that antiperspirant causes cancer because they never use it. Some clients walk around with shitty underpants and have probably never understood how to use a toothbrush. But so what? Throw them in the shower and hand them the soap! Or don't see them if you don't want to.
The other side of this is that if clients find out you are building a list, they will get very reluctant to see you as a client. So you would be better off kicking yourself repeatedly in the head. It's a bad idea - a very bad idea.
You publish your number. You want calls. Not all calls will result in a paid client. You must answer all calls in the knowledge that this will eventually lead to paid clients. Don't get hung up too much on what happens with a single call, a single client.
Of course if you get a call and the guy starts to insult you, give it right back to him. If he repeats, put him on your own list. But that doesn't mean he is going to insult the next girl. It shouldn't get him on a shared list.
As far as really bad guys - armed thugs, robbers, rapists and the like, call the cops and have them charged. Don't put them on a list - put them in prison.
