Trusted Reviewer Criteria Reaction

[piggi]

The escorts have no problems writing the requested references. I don't see what the problem with all this. What's wrong with them verifying that they saw you?

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.

Are we losing the plot here slightly? I am participant of EI because a like meeting and … cough… greeting very attractive women. The review system allows me to select girls to my taste and to avoid disappointment. A “Trusted Reviewer” as I understand it is a reviewer who firstly, actually takes the time to post his review to the benefit of others and secondly, should be an individual whose reviews have been vetted in some way as to lead to his trustee status. That’s it! A regular punter who wants to share his experiences and benefit from the experiences of others. It should not make him anymore special than any other reviewer – except in the fact he has put in the time, experience, and hard earned cash to arrive at this trust. We HAVE to get started on a system that recommences the handing out of badges (although a badge is an unfortunate icon as it denotes a medal of achievement over others, maybe a simple tick mark would be better). If we don’t seem to have a fair system in place going forward the begrudgery will continue.

I think the idea of identifying Trusted Reviewers is definitely a good one. I find it especially helpful when I see a badge on a negative review (that’s just my methods). But as with any system there has to be some type of forum in existence in order to vet a proposed reviewer and arrive at that decision. This golden circle comment is exactly the wrong begrudging attitude we don’t need. Frequent posters, I feel, have more experience of reading reviews, reading punters’ experiences, reading escorts’ experiences and possible joining in on the discussions. They also visit the Reviewers and Warning sections regularly. And of course,surely the Mods have the most experience as they have to monitor all this.

Common sense can easily identify a trusted reviewer. Therefore my suggestion is this. We have now commenced the Established Member section. These members are the ones that should put forward a new Trusted Reviewer and it should be put to the vote or poll. For gods sake we currently have a poll to find out if an escort Isis is attractive or not. Why not start a new ‘Potential Trusted Reviewer’ section. An individual may put himself up to the vote if he wishes. It is in our interest to identify potential candidates and put them up there. If the proposed achieves sufficient positive votes over negative, he gets his badge. If a candidate is borderline NOW involve the escorts he has reviewed. A Mod may post a reason where he/she feels he should not and this could be taken into consideration also. All members will check the proposed candidates’ reviews before voting, hence we all get a say.

I use the Trusted Reviewer extensively and find it easier to scan reviews. I want more trustees to be set up as soon as possible to make my life easier. At the end of the day all we want is to select a suitable escort effectively and not to continue to divide the punters into two more and more distant groups.

I agree with this. Trusted review status should be awarded after being proposed by an existing trusted reviewer or escort, scutinised and voted on by other existing t.r.s and escorts. I would accept that E-I would have to have a veto in the event that they had knowledge of the reviewer that they were unable to disclose. Equally, the process should work in reverse with a trusted reviewer being able to challenge the bona fides of another t. r..

I hate to point this out but, apart from being just com mods, some of the people dealing with this are also trusted reviewers.........

And is a recomendation from 3 escorts not input from escorts???

You know fine well it's not a wind up. What's so wrong with asking 3 escorts to confirm they have seen a client? It's not as if the references are going to be made public. All they have to say is something along the lines of I would like to recommend mrx for the position of Trusted Reviewer
He is a genuine client who has visited me.

That's all that's to it no dates, times, phone numbers, descriptions or any other kind of information are given by the escorts.

The reference system has been useful for both escorts and clients when making bookings over the years. Why not for this?

It's alot better than one person deciding who got a badge and no criteria whatsoever. Now that system was a joke.

I thought it was a wind up too.
If you have to ask what's wrong, well, I dunno.....

Not sure about the whole process but if you ever need some reccommendations, you'd definitely get a glowing one from me.

P.S. I'm OK to supply references to all the nice guys that reviewed me and wishes to apply for a badge.

the old system was a joke so i guess all trusted reviewers have to start from scratch and get refrences like the rest? if not then this is pointless as well as ridiculous.And if the escorts dont do private messaging how do they vouch for you i fear this was not thought out properly.

But surely keeping those joke badges amongst the new badges makes them all a joke.

There will be an investigation into trusted reviewers we find suspect . And they will have to meet the new criteria. Theres a few trusted reviewers who have already susbmitted references. But they weren't under suspicion.

Jackpot you seem to know of some untrustworthy reviewers . If you do then let us know which ones. If you don't want to make it public then pm us.
