Reviews: Should there be a limit?

[Rockerman]

i think people forget when they choose to never write anything but 5 star reviews
that they could be indirectly taking some business away from a good escort who worked hard
for her deserved 100% rating

What if you have nothing to complain about? Ah the bed was too hard or the shower pressure wasn't strong enough. I know what you're saying, but are we reading into it a bit much maybe? I've had loads of PMs about ladies. I'm a good guy...I'm nice to the girls and I'm happy to give advice to the lads if they seem alright. After that fuck it I'm just a bloke out for a good time when I can. On this site you seem to have to explain your every fucking move.

Jez lads, it’s supposed to be a review system not some mutual admiration society, yes post five star reviews if that’s the experience you received but if not then post a realistic one, doesn’t have to hurtful, just honest. All 5 star for all is not fair to anyone, neither punter nor the genuinely brilliant escorts who go the extra mile and really deserve the reviews they have.

You lads aren't the authorities here. Yes I believe they should be balanced, but if I have 47 great reviews so what? Do you think I have made 47 visits and no more? I had in incall in Athens, some Colombian girl...an absolute mad bitch, but good fun. Her attention to detail was shite, her professionalism was shite...but she was gorgeous and once she got into it she was great fun. A frustrating escort, but she did the job and made me laugh. I told her to come back the next night and the mad hatter turns up in a figure hugging dress and heels...I was happy enough with her, but I have no reviews for her!

jez, keep the head, nobody is claiming to be an authority, just pointing out the obvious faults, oh yeah and I'm really glad you have seen loads and loads of escorts, fair play to ye, you're a great lad because going by your reviews it kind of looked like you were just stalking one or two.
anyway you have a lovely day now

(and before you get clever, yes I do see the irony in my post )

Should there be a limit on the amount of reviews a client can write for a provider?

The rules state that a client can leave a maximum of 1 review per advertiser per week. Is this too much? Should it just be one review per advertiser?

How and why would you change it, or do you think there's no problem?

It used to be one review per advertiser, and was then changed to one review per week.

Back in the day the review system was a lot more user friendly. My own rule of thumb was that if an escort had 10 -12 reviews then that was plenty to form an opinion from.

Now it's common for escorts to quickly have 50, 60, 80 reviews. So you see an escort has garnered 80 reviews in short order and just assume that she must be pretty good. Then you look more closely and see that 3 clients have left an average of 25 reviews each and the remaining 5 are one-off reviews and suddenly the record doesn't look that good.

Things are not going to change as it suits EI and suits escorts to have it this way. Tbh I didn't even think of the issue regarding the client waving his 25 reviews over an escort and the possibility of using that as leverage for his own benefit. The review system as it was had its issues but was miles better than the current one which aims to obfuscate as much as possible.

A last point - most reviewers seem to have never darkened the forum. This seems odd to me. If I see a reviewer's name that's familiar then I'm more likely to give it credence but these random reviewers I tend to dismiss.

Agree 100%.
You got to the point I was making in my posts #57 and #72.

Thanks

have no prob with anyone leaving reviews for the same lady 100 times over because I never read or look at them
whatever floats ones boat

review system ._. I'd scrap and have some type of boards

rarely I deviate from about 10/12 ladies I've met a load of times, most I took as recommends off the boards and never left reviews for
._. also nice to have a bit of anonymity Inspector
