Ratted Reviews and reviews which should never be

[jackpot]

That's a bit strong I think...........

What do you think should be done???

Just rat it stick it up there like we don't give a shit???

Because if that's what was done then that's what we would be accused of, not giving a shit........

Just give the reason for the Rat. *** Shares IP address ** or what ever

But there should be no reason to make the mods personal opinion of the event know.

When people are looking at a girls profile and they click to see her reviews and they see a ratted review, or a few ratted reviews, sadly I think, most people then firstly call into question the escort, and look at it with suspicion from her side, or at least that's the way I feel people view then initially.........

Ratted reviews are just as much if not more, showing that we are suspicious at the reviewer, not the escort......

In a case like this, it's a rat on a negative review so straight away it rings alarm bells for me about the reviewer, not the escort.........

That’s grand for you to say Luther, you are very experienced in this field, but take it form Joe soaps point of view - a quick glance sees three dodgy reviews, a few good ones and one ratted. Even Anon has said he was put off. Surely a rat is a deterrent.

Luther, you have hit the nail on the head because sadly in a lot of cases a review is ratted because Mods don't believe the reviewer is a genuine client and it was written by the escort or somebody else that will gain from her positive review. That of course is going to imprint itself onto clients minds. Surely some other mark is needed to distinguish between Fake reviews written by an escorts gooneys and a fake review written to harm an escorts business?
I do think a review like this one shouldn't make it onto the site, especially when he openly admits to drug use, I bet that has already been filled away by some reporter to use in a rubbish article at a later date, it wouldn't be wrong and I don't think anyone would disagree with the censorship of this type of review.

As I wasn't the one who left the comment on the review, but in my opinion, he's explaining a little about it so that other have all the information about this reviewer, other reviews submitted, date joined etc..........

In fairness, I think he's just trying to be as helpfull as possible to all.........

I think "way out of line" is a little bit strong in describing it...........

As I say, I didn't write it so I won't comment on it any further...............

And yes, I have been thinking about something like this, but I think it's frought with difficulties..........

As a general rule of thumb..........

A rat on a positive review will draw suspicion on the escort, a rat on a negative review will draw suspicion on the reviewer. That's why, if this review is left, I believe it should stay as a negative review, and not changed to N/A...........

When we try to explain things on a review such as this to help people to understand we're seen to be "way out of line"............

It's hard to win sometimes.............

But I think a review such as this highlights the difficulties that escorts face, probably every day.........

Is it best to just delete it and sweep it under the carpet???

I think people need to read ratted reviews properly and to make up their own minds on them and not to just dismiss them, or the escort when they see them..........

The purpose of reviews is to give potential punters a chance to decide if this Escort is good or bad. A review from a drunken, doped out of his mind yobo serves no purpose but to damage an escort’s profile. Why should such a review, acknowledged by you mods as inappropriate, be even posted? I’m sorry now Luther, and I’m not singling you out, but I feel very strongly about this and if necessarily will start a thread highlighting this issue. I have no affiliation with this girl other than having a lovely experience with her yesterday but I strongly suggest that this review be deleted. Please look into this even if only as a mater of customer service.

I say again. The reviews are here for the benefit of both clients and escorts, effectively everyone who posts here. Let us decide what should happen to the review by voting on it. That way, no one is imposing anything on anyone and no one can complain.

[El Gordo]

This one is a tough call, but I can certainly see reasons for leaving it. When I evaluate reviews I often look at a reviewer's previous reviews. Suppose this guy writes another review, which isn't such obvious junk. I want to be able to see this one so I know that this is someone whose opinion I don't trust. On the other hand, it would unfair if it harms Vanessa. But will it? I wouldn't pay any attention to a ratted negative review from someone with no other reviews. And I always read negative reviews before deciding what to think about them. But perhaps I'm not a typical punter.

Regarding the length of the note, I'm just happy that the mods have started giving reasons and signing them.

It seems to me that the rat should be assigned to the reviewer and not the girl in question?
