I've been giving this a lot of thought and I have to say that I am gobsmacked by all the fuss.

Like The Highwayman I don't see the problem.

On a positive note it has been impressive to see how this discussion has proceeded in a largley friendly fashion - nobody has gone off the rails and seriously abused other members.

However I fail to see the problem with asking three escorts to confirm that they met with you -- and if, for personal reasons, a member feels that they just cannot take this step then they should just not bother with "Trusted Reviewer" status. I mean, you're not going to put it on your CV, are you? So it's no huge loss either way.

If the decision was taken to cancel all the current "Trusted Reviewer" badges then I have no concern with asking three escorts I've been with to verify this.
