Mandatory reviews

[adogwithabone]

I have difficulty getting my head around the concept that escorts are allowed to advertise whatever they want and post any pictures that they feel like and we are not allowed to comment except through this forum, if the escort opts out of reviews. I cannot understand why reviews are not mandatory at least in relation to the profile/photos. We are usually fed the line that for 'legal' reasons escorts cannot be forced to allow reviews but I think that this is a load of bovine manure at least in so far as it might restrict reporting on false advertising. I cannot see that there could be any legal reason why E-I should be forced to advertise escorts who do not allow reporting on the truth of said advertisements.
I think that, at the very least, any escort, wishing to advertise on this website, should have to allow comments(if you do not like the 'review' word) on the accuracy of their photos and profiles

I see your point and agree with it.
But I think it's a simple truth that he who pays the piper calls the tune.
The punters are always going to be at the bottom of the priority list.

Have to agree with that. In an ideal world, no reviews allowed, no ad accepted but.......!

I don't think legally we could force escorts to accept reviews. But we could refuse to advertise them unless they allow reviews. However I wouldn't do that as I don't think it would be right.

I think you are seeing everything from the client's perspective here. I try to see things from both. I don't think it is fair to force any escort to take reviews. It's not just dodgy escorts who don't accept reviews. I know many escorts don't accept reviews because they've had problems with dodgy clients leaving them bad reviews to mess their business up or they are just trying to maintain more privacy than reviews allow for. Of course we are trying to stop the dodgy clients that ruin the reviews system by leaving fake reviews, but it is hard, in most cases we have no evidence either way as to who may be telling truth.

Essentially I think this business has to show the respect to escorts of giving them the power as to whether or not they want to be reviewed. Escorts that don't accept reviews already probably get less business because of that. I wouldn't be happy going the whole hog and making it impossible for them to advertise.

I think escorts should be able to decide whether or not to accept reviews and I think if client's stopped frequenting escorts who don't allow reviews, then it might assist them to re-assess their decision.

Whatever else you are, Patricia, you are not stupid, so cut the c**p about the problem being 'dodgy clints' leaving fake reviews. Even the dogs in the streets know that it is the escorts and their pimps that are to blame for more than 95% of fake reviews. If there is the odd malicious review, I think that it always stands out as such.
All I am asking for is a single drop-down, very satisfied-very dissatisfied, button to the question 'Are the photos/profile genuine'. There would be no scope for text or elaboration. I cannot see that any escorts could object to this, unless they are fake, and I assume that you are not deliberately promoting fake profiles.

Do you mean just this singular function should be added to the profile page of a girl who doesn't allow reviews???

And if that's the case, what's to stop this function being abused??? With no review attached to it and no accountability people could be clicking it willy nilly................

[Mioux]

Isn't the easiest thing to do, if you feel so strongly about this,
would just be to not visit escorts who don't allow reviews, and just visit ones who do allow reviews?? has that maybe crossed your mind?

It's their own business and choice if they want them or not. It's DEFINITELY a privacy matter and I would love to see some of you clients as escorts just to feel the vulnerability they feel sometimes.
If they feel like not having reviews makes them feel safer, then so be it, they're not asking for your judgement or probably giving a fuck what you think. I certainly wouldn't, anyway.

Stop behaving as though you have a right to these things, you don't.

I mean that it would be the familiar review system with the dates and prices but, beyond that the only option available would be a single drop down menu relating to the authenticity of the photos and profile.

adogwithabone, I am not rejecting your suggestion made here, in fact I think it is quite a good one.

However this comment:

This happens. You guys need to start appreciating the situation escorts are in. When a client finds a false review, he can sing and dance about it. Escorts have other concerns, it is not as easy for them to talk about it, but that doesn't mean it is not happening. We deal with many cases where we find a client has maliciously written a false review of an escort, but we can't normally talk about in in public as the escorts don't want that attention, to piss anyone off, they just want to get on with their work quietly, so it is not talked about in public.
