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..
