There has been a lot of heated discussion about fake photos and fake reviews and what E-I should be doing about it. I think that these problems are minor. The major problem is the lack of genuine reviews. It seems sometimes that the only people who could be bothered to register and make a review are the pimps.
There are over 500 escorts who pay good money to advertise here. I reckon that they should see an average of around 4 clients a day. This would give a total of 2000 "punts" a day throughout the country. Over the last year there has been an average of just over 10 reviews per day and I doubt if more than 8 are genuine. This means that on average an escort is only going to be reviewed once every 2 months or that there is only a 1 in 250 chance of any client reviewing her. You can see why this is so easy for the chancers to prosper. We need to sort out the good from the bad a lot quicker which means more clients making more reviews
Why are there so few reviews? There are girls that have been advertising for months and have never been reviewed.
I believe that the problem is that relatively few of the people who use this site are registered as members. I think that this is partly due to laziness but mainly due to some perceived risk of exposure. These people need an incentive.
I would suggest that the reviews, the escort community and the escorts sexual services should only be viewable by members. It is so easy to concoct an e-mail address that any incentive should be enough to persuade anybody seriously using the website to register as a member. once registered as members I think that these people will have not be slow to post reviews.
As I would see it each escort would have the same profile as presently but without the list of sexual services. Each escort would have a separate private page viewable only by members where the escort can discuss services and anything else that they want and post photos that they may not want on public view. I think that the escorts would welcome these restrictions on who can view the more personal details.
I think that it would also be very much in the interest of Patricia not to have so much sexual content ( much of it considered deviant) viewable by the general public.
I would be interested in hearing any comments on the above
Any support for change?

There should be more reviews given the amount of escorts and members of this site. It seems clients are reluctant to give reviews. Perhaps most of them don't post and just browse the escort section. They just register to book an escort.

26-07-08, 17:22dreamonThis is exactly the problem. A client does not have to be registered to view everything on this website and book an escort. They cant make reviews because they are not members.Quote:

to be honest i'vce never written a review but that's because the majority of the girls on this site are foreign girls who come here for a few weeks and then go back home...why write a review if their profile wont be there the next day

Pat,
why cant we write reviews of girls after they have left the country at least they would be there when the escorts revisit.

there is one particular escort i would love to review....it was her last day in ireland when i met her and i didnt have the chance. her page was taken down before i had a chance. would agree that it would be a good idea to allow reviews even if the escort is not around.

and a lot of guys don't write rewieves again once you have a few, even if they have done some in the past, as they think it is pointless to repeat the same thing....

27-07-08, 23:14dreamonForeign girls may only be here for a week or so but they tend to come back every so often. If their profile vanishes before you can make a review then do so when you see them return. Make a review even if it is just a brief note about the general attitude of the girl and how she compares to the photos.Quote:

I believe that if the photos are fake and the service is poor there is an onus on clients who have been conned to warn the rest of us. If clients cant do this, they should at least write positive reviews about the good escorts.Quote:

I have seen so many on these boards whining, moaning, whinging and complaining. Is there no one out there with something constructive to say about how the website could be improve? Does the proposition I outlined above make sense to anyone?

Have the girls have a webcam link to their profile I think i seen that on another Irish site. That way you could chat for 5 mins see her and be on your way.

Thats an idea, but thus reinforceing the fact that you could be a phoney, if you did not want to show your face? The webcam thing could be a side option for punters and clients.:)

in fact there are two escorts in galway at the moment who i would like to certainly give bad reviews for but i cant remember when i saw them. i didnt get a chance at the time as the profiles were removed the next day. -
29-07-08, 08:12PatriciaWe are trying to get a mod done at the moment where you could also review recently left town escorts. I don't think we could let client review escorts from more than a week or two back though.Quote:

In this way your legal status would be considerably less compromised than it is a present. -

There are so many posters complaining about fake photos and poor service that I am amazed that nobody seems to have any constuctive suggestions about improving the situation.
