Reviews

[TonyB]

I suggest the option for escorts to opt out of reviews is removed.

I'm suggesting this for the following reasons

First reviews I leave for escorts have to be generous and I state that politely, because otherwise the escort will opt out .
I'm sure

Escorts who have an issue with a client opt out to avoid a bad review. Many of us clients have experienced this.
They opt back in when the client can't leave a review.

Escorts lend or rent their profile to another escort and usually switch off their reviews to avoid bad reviews.

I won't visit certain escorts because I suspect their lack of reviews are a hindrance to.my genuine review being passed.

It's not fair on other genuine escorts starting out with genuine profiles.
I avoid some profiles thinking that perhaps it's another fake profile.
So how does a genuine escort get a start?

Genuine profiles are better for the clients and the escorts.
Honesty is improved by removing opting out

You cannot remove an escorts choice to Opt-out of receiving reviews.

A better way to go about this would be that you can review every profile whether they Opted-In or not. And every escort can choose to ‘restrict’ access to see them. Meaning you can still leave your review if she suddenly Opts-out but neither the clients or the escort can see reviews unless they opt back in.

Sorry mate but the truth is it's not an equal relationship between, provider, punter and this site.
The site gets all it's revenue from providers so obviously they're going to provide services to the providers and not to the clients.
So my point is it really doesn't matter to the sites operators if providers opt-out or actually put up false or misleading profiles just so long as the payment clears.

Why can't this site remove this option?
Give me a reason please

I would argue that's the short term view.
A most honest review system would lead to more honest escorts.
This would benefit the genuine escorts.

For instance, many escorts advertise favourites they don't really offer.
This wouldn't last long with genuine reviews.
This would benefit genuine escorts.

Fake profiles benefit nobody including this site, especially this site

Your preaching to the choir mate but the short term view is the reality and I think you're incorrect with one statement '
Fake profiles benefit nobody including this site', sorry but that's just wrong.
The site continues to make revenue regardless of the quality/truthfulness of the profiles and if they became stricter with verification they'd have start rejecting profiles and that would cost them.

It's not a case of 'can't' it's a case of 'won't'

There are currently almost 200 profiles that don't allow reviews.
You are hopelessly naive if you think E-I is going to turn away that much revenue.

I don’t understand how you think removing that option is a good idea.
AF said it. They could remove this feature quite easily, I recon.
You just disable opt-out of reviews from an escorts dashboard settings.

It comes down to choice.
An Escort can choose to allow reviews or opt out.
The same way you can choose to contact them or not. You can still contact an opt-out advert. If you have been burnt and haven’t learned from it, that’s on you not them.

I don’t think it matters.
If they opt out I stay away.
I’m getting old so most ladies I see are very well reviewed.
If they opt out I know it’s for a good reason so wouldn’t bother me.
