On the subject of reviews

[Stewie]

Well done Karin your work shows exactly what I was saying that the review system is not only flawed but also being abused by certain reviewers. There is no doubt that all 8 of the escorts listed here are among the best escorts in Ireland nor is there any suggestion that any of them have done anything wrong.
I already pointed out the nonsense of benefiting from fake reviews as there clearly is an advantage to being in the list of top reviewed escorts. And currently that list is not fair to the best escorts as shown in your work.

This may work, but I see it a little incomplete.

Your suggestion excludes (un-rated) negative & greys reviews and because of this, it may give an inaccurate idea about the overall review situation of escorts.
Anybody's understanding of a "top" means that the best of the best (of whatever sort) are to be found there. If you only include what's good and take away the bad, you'll present an incomplete situation, imagine something like calculating a balance sheet where you include only the assets but not the liabilities ...

The Escort of the Month competition rating is very fair in my opinion because it takes in calculation ALL the unrated reviews and from this a score is determined.
I know many blamed the Escort of the Month competition of being based on a faulty review system, but nobody ever accused the point system to be unfair.

"Rules:
1. Points are scored by reviews. +2 points for a positive review, -2 points for negative review and +1 point for neutral reviews.
2. N/A reviews obviously don't count as do Rat reviews. "

Now, you can add to that if you wish that any subsequent review from the same reviewer will be not taken into consideration in calculating the overall score, unless the situation changes from the last type of review (from positive becomes negative and vice-versa).

I have calculated just for jun the current situation for the current top 8 escorts, please see the attached Excel screenshot for the number of points.

Current situation:
Sara, Jasmin, Lauren, Alexis, Patty Baby, Sexy Brigitte, Brown Sugar, Lynne

Based on a point system and excluding any subsequent review from the same reviewer, the situation changes quite a lot:
Lynne, Lauren, Patty Baby / Brown Sugar (same number of points), Sexy Brigitte, Sara, Jasmin, Alexis

Now, that changes the situation quite a lot !!!

Obviously, the longer on the site is a lady, the more points / reviews she may get. Unlike the Escort of the Month, which takes into consideration the reviews received in one particular month, this new top shows the top AS AT the current date (more resemblance with a balance sheet ). That means that sometimes a lady will have some point advantage over another one just because she is longer on the site, but this certainly will encourage the ones that give a good service as well to advertise here for longer, to make up for that time deficiency.

Note 1: Please see attached the summary of my workings, they may be a bit hard to read.
Note 2: I don't mean no offence to any lady escorts here. I have used your names just because you happen to be in current top 8.
If anybody minds, I could edit my post saying escort A, B, C etc ... as my aim is not to piss off someone but to give my 2 cents worth in this thread.

well done nbt for given the time & effort to sort out the utterly ridiculous review system...

Karin put together a superb analysis earlier. I have used this as a template and extended the information.

As I am into baseball and cricket stats I have put up each escorts 'batting average' based on Karins criteria (which I am in total agreement with) specifically only one review allowed per punter and legitimate reviews only allowed to be tabulated. A top average can only go as high as 2.00. I have therefore put up the percentage as a fraction of 2.00 as this would appear to be more user friendly.

I have also proposed a rating of each escort based on their reviews. This part should be clear.

As Karin stated earlier this changes the situation quite a lot. Its not the quantity of reviews thats important its the quality that we are concerned with.

It's interesting Alec but the flaw is that a girl with one review that is positive would also have a 100% average return. However 1 review even if it is positive tells very little compared to say 50+ positive reviews even if that girl has 5 bad reviews I would think the total positive tells us more than the percentage. So while quality is important quantity is also important as such Karins chart would be preferable I think.

You are of course correct re: 1 positive review. Thats why if my system was adopted it would be imperative that there was a minimum number of reviews required, say 10, before an escort could attain an average which would make any sense. Until then - newbie -under review-

The positive vs negative review is also a perfectly good system as you suggested. If you look at

AdultWork.com - Adult Service Providers & Erotic Content - Escorts, Webcammers, SMS & Phone Chat/Sex, Movies, Galleries & Auctions

you will see that they have long since adopted this system and then some. Have a look at some of the ratings and how in depth the information actually is. It is quite excellent. Also allows for feedback as well as actual reviews. Still it is not perfect as far as I am concerned.

Sorry but I did not mean to completely dismiss the quantity. I did not word that very well but what I wanted to garner from the data was the percentage chance that you will have a good punt.

ie a long termer may have 50 positive 25 negative giving you a 66% chance of a good time, whereas a relative newbie may have, for arguements sake, 18+ 2 - review giving a 90% rating. Whereas if you look at that info another way its 25 positive versus 16 positive. Its up to the individual punter as to what figure they prefer to go with.

With a lot of money to be spent, we all want to minimise any risk of blowing a few hundred quid on a bad punt.

I suppose no system is going to be absoulutely perfect so I think it best that we get as much information as possible and then we can all make our own decisions based on that.

So have you got a problem with intelligent women pal?Karin has put together a well thought out well presented analysis so where is the problem?Also the "sweetie" as you call her especially for a non native has a much better grasp of grammar and spelling than you seem to have.Check out all the spelling mistakes in the above quote!!!!
You might want to get your own house in order before you start criticising someone else.

Westie, I don't mind what you said to me or how you said it.
You can like me, dislike me or "nothing" me, it's your choice and whatever that choice may be is perfectly acceptable.

Just do it in a different thread please, not in one where you're asking people for oppinion in a much more serious subject.
Regardless if you find my suggestion a bad one, it's my choice to express it as well
