We'll have to discuss the "Special Pass" award system thoroughly so. To make sure it has been awarded fairly .

Can someone tell me when the first TR badge was issued and to who. Thankyou.
I can't tell you the exact date or who specifically got the first TR badge, but it was around September last year when Ninebythree was in charge of the review system. I know he started by giving badges to the likes of Scankman and others with multiple reviews that he considered to be reliable, and therefore, trustworthy.
Thats an excellent post Monkeynut. As someone that almost always makes an appointment by pm, the ladies know a little bit more about me and, of course, can see that I have am a 'trusted reviewer'. I have never mentioned it and, thankfully, didn't have to apply for one, as mine was issued before the new criteria that Ric came up with.
I agree that there is a need for more 'official' trusted reviewers, but I don't think that the members should decide it.
The statistics and reviews are there for E-I moderators and managers to assess, and determine who deserves to be awarded trusted reviewer status.
I have said it before and I will say it one more time, the review system is a guide and if you do your homework you can determine which reviews to believe, whether there is a star attached or not.
It was recently pointed out to me by another member, that he had not had as good an experience with ladies I had given positive reviews to. I believe that, to a certain degree, it comes down to our individual expectations. It doesn't mean that I am right and he is wrong, or vice versa.
The review system as it stands.
We have standard reviewers shall we call them and TR reviewers.The difference being a badge.
How do we get a badge , get 3 escorts to contact the highwayman and say they met you. simples.
So here's the phone call or pm to a new escort. Hey baby if you give me a recommendation for the badge i'll give you a good review. Do this 3 times and your sorted.
Now isn't the badge supposed to mean something.It is supposed to worthy of a bit of respect from your fellow punters that your reviews can be trusted and the info you provide is correct.
IMO to many people have been given the badge under false pretences and have then gone on to write fake reviews. This paints a bad picture on the other TR reviewers and casts a shadow of doubt over all the good work they have done. Petercork is a prime example of this yet he still has his badge.In the non TR section The Longman has been caught out yet he still has a fucking profile and we won't even go into Hondamans reviews. All of these profiles should be banned.
The TR badge should be held in high esteem and it should not be given out willy nilly.I think the following criteria for starters should be met.
A TR Badge holder should have at least 10 reviews.
Should be able to verify with 10 escorts the appointment took place.
To hold the badge you must confirm at least 1 in every 5 reviews that take place after the initail 10.
The reviewer should have behaved with common courtesy within these appointments as verified by the escort.
Should have at least 500 posts on the forum and be of a good character. (not a trouble maker so to speak)
Should have posted and reviewed within the last 6 months. Failure to have done either and the badge should be removed.
If the badge holder is guilty of a rat review the badge should be removed.
If anyone badge holder or not gets 3 rats the profile should be deleted.
I don't think its a case of not having enough TR's but a case of the ones we have not being trusted enough.
This is not a badge that should be easy to get and you must prove your worth in having it.
Maybe if the current TR badge stayed in place and a new higher level badge come into play.
You must have the TR badge first and then work your way up to the higher level badge.
So while you are sitting there reading this and thinking who the feck does this cock think he is you are right. I'm just a cock voicing my opinions and ideas on the review system so before you attack maybe you should channel your thoughts into ways of improving the system as well. It would be more appreciated.
Apart from the names i have mentioned i am not having a dig at anyone , badge holder or not so please don't think i am.
Just a few thoughts and all other ideas are welcome.
I'm sure i'll have something else to add down the line and i'm sure my views may well be taken in the wrong context but there ya go.......
I definitely think you are on the right track, and was thinking along these lines prior to this posting.
Just one thing - how do you propose to verify that the meeting actually took place?
All trusted reviewers are wankers!!
The problem is that we never really answered the question "trusted by whom?" If the system is to have any purpose at all it should mean "trusted by us". There should be votes in the public forum and the private escort forum. And not just for new trusted reviewers, but for the current ones, including me.
Of course I have a "special pass"...I'm a Trusted Reviewer FFS....lol..
BTW... you need more that a TR status to get beyond the Lucy Lu barrier... I just happen to be dashing and totally irresistible to boot..(oh… God bless Carlsberg for bravery)
OK... I like Maxis' approach. I think he has hit on all the crucial elements. He has obviously sat down and thought about this…possibly too much…lol
I’m thinking it’s just down to fine tuning at this stage. I firmly believe that we posters are the core of the TR system. After all it is we the members here that dispute, criticize and analyze all reviewers out there. We are the voice and the critics of the reviewer system. Who better than we to be the Trustees. NBT did not do a bad job initially but I will admit he got it totally right. But we have the basis of a good team of Trustees right here on our doorstep. Let’s implement it but still leave it open to pruning.
Once again we should remember that the prime objective of a Trustee is to serve the general punter and not himself. You know something, fellow trustees, as far as I’m concerned there are only three key issues I want you guys to confirm for me
1. Is it the girl advertised in the photos?
2. Is the girl’s physique exactly as advertised in the photos, if not how does it differ.
3. Does the girl satisfactorily provide the services advertised?
If these three key issues are answered sufficiently anything else is down to each punters personal taste and we would all be interested to hear how you got on.
I still think that there should be a school of thought enforced to ensure that TRs review consistently and informatively. To say – “Lovely girl, would recommend” is not sufficient and not the caliber of review a TR should give. If we are regarded as Trusted Reviewers we should also adhere to a given standard of review.
And hey…I’m not trying to dictate here…just throwing out suggestions….
