Option 3: Opt In, Lock In.

[DollyDarling]

In my opinion and observations, the review system has been and still is being abused. Some escorts are very good but often reviews are written as a form of bullying or revenge. For instance an escort says no to someone, that she will not see him for whatever reason. That person can then write a review on her and get his revenge for being rejected. This happens often, even here in USA. There in Ireland, you have the problem with pimps "owning" counties, and when an independent tours there, she is threatened to leave or else... can u guess?..... the pimp will write nasty reviews on her to kill her biz. The review system is a catch 22. If the reviews are genuine, then it is helpful to both the punter and the escort. But when the review system is being used as a tool to bully or get revenge, then it is a really fucking bad thing!

What would be nice is if there was a third option that Patricia might consider:
1. Opt out
2. Opt in
3. Opt in, lock in --- (Which means, the escort opts into review system, and when she feels she has enough reviews to prove she is genuine, good, reliable..... then she could "Lock In" which means the reviews stick to her profile but no more reviews are being accepted.)

This option would help both punter and escort. As an escort gets famous over time, more and more people will mess with her reviews, making it confusing to the punter readers and also very stressful to the escort to see all her hard work being unraveled by a few bastards who are messing around with a very serious thing: her reputation. By locking in, she can just focus on making her clients happy and letting her fame sorta sit neutral a bit, making her less a target for bullies. When she feels it is the time again, she can "Lock Out" and reviews will then be accepted and added to the earlier reviews. This will show she is still in the same form as before: service, looks, accessibility, ect.

As it is, when I return to Ireland, I can see the benefit of opting out of the review system. If an escort is too famous, it makes her a target in the review system. Word of mouth can be more powerful then reviews. For me, if there was this option 3: Opt in, Lock in, Lock out..... That would be my desired choice.

I hope E-I will consider this option, as it will benefit punters and escorts and keep the review system more untainted and reliable.
