New Trusted Reviewer Proposal.

[dave1dave]

I've been thinking about this as I tried to dig my car out this morning, and I had an idea.( rare for me so I came in immediately to tell Ye all)

Instead of changing the TR criteria, why not leave it exactly as is, and add a second badge to reviews ?
The AM badge. As in Active Member. ( The double entendre is intentional )

This might fill the gap that we see in the system, as it would allow us to easily spot reviews from people who post here.

Thoughts ?

All of the above must be in place for the badge to be awarded and a overhaul of the current holders needs to be done immediately and badges removed in cases like Petercork.

Why should he loose his badge. He might be extremely hard to please from reading his reviews (is that not his right just because other saps fall all over ladies in their reviews). In fairness he has never sent me in the wrong direction , which is more than i can say for other TRs.

But hopefully this thread doesnt fall in to a witch hunt for who should lose their TR badge of not.

can I ask a question what is the difference from a review by a trusted reviewer than a review written by any other reviewer... to be honest most of the reviewers here do not have badges some do just review and dont post on the forums but in a lot of cases this does not make them false reviewers.. when an escort is honest and up front she will inform the staff if she has a false review regardless if it is positive or negative... what startles me is when users change their names and review the same girl again... but as it is the same posters on the forum regularly is there going to be much listened to and changed regardless of a poll after all we have been polling for years and nothing much changes... x

I think I would would like to see escorts becoming more involved with the Trusted Reviewer award somehow. To me, a Trusted Reviewer is someone who does not necessarily post on the board, or is not necessarily one of the lads online - but if several escorts all agree that this man is a respectful, genuine fellow who they are in no danger from, then give him the badge.

Isnt that pretty well how it works at the moment?

Well, it would seem we are done discussing.

Just to put closure on the whole topic, I would like to make a few more comments.

I disagree with Mr. Maxi when he says a TR should be held in “high esteem”. This is detrimental language and probably why the TR system is getting so much bad press. A TR badge should not be seen as an accolade, rather a recognition of trust. Its sole purpose is allow clients when examining review profiles to pick out reviews that are guaranteed as kosher. For this to work effectively we need to have at LEAST 50/50 TRs to standard reviewers. At the moment there are far & few between.

I hope that Ric & co. can consider this proposal and hopefully the useful posts on this thread will help him to speed up the allocation of TRs. At the end of the day, TRs help us the punter and the advertising Escorts as well. I would hope that Ric wil not consider that this is meant to undermine the hard work he is already doing, but will see that it may compliment it instead. The poll indicates that we members are in favour of some type of overhaul, what form that overhaul takes is up to Ric and staff at this time.

Thanking you all for your valuable input… We will wait and see…

All I want to express quickly at the moment is my concern regarding associating the number of postings (as a condition from being established) with TRs.
Established members with a necessary numbers of reviews could be a good idea.
But take into account people registered here for a certain length of time (more then a year or two) which also have the necessary numbers of reviews. They are as trusty as the rest. If anybody has some PM queries on their reviews, who is to say those people don't answer PMs even if they don't post???

They are more than welcome to pursue the existing method of three written references. But they will be included in the list to be accessed by the members.

In any case this is only a method of eligibility I would expect that your ideas of how to finally administer the status should be considered.

-------------

Sorry for the delay, I am back and just read the entire thread again.
I think some things needs to be clarified, as this post of yours made more sense.

James’ first post on the thread is regarding one of the conditions of being ELIGIBLE to become a TR. It is meant for people active on the board, who are anyway seen as TR between themselves and maybe from many others, even if some don’t have the badge.

Further on, any people eligible to qualify this way will be discussed / voted / on by anybody in the entire EI community and if his reviews and past activity is favourably seen by others, then they will get their TR status. If people don’t trust me, then simply he will not be made a TR, easy as that.

That’s peace of mind for me, as the few possible rotten apples that might have made it as reviewers (when they aren’t) and might have 269 meaningless posts will never become TRs after being looked upon by the community.

In conjunction with the method proposed by James, the already established method from Ric will also be applied. That means that anybody who still want to use the escort references and doesn’t necessarily have a lot of posts and interactions, they will be still TR.

So far, so good. Why? Because ….

As it was said in here, have you seen how few members have become TRs lately? Clearly, not all people are happy to come forward using the old established way. Because of this, badges are something quite RARE and no wonder some people are trying to abuse the system pretending they are TRs when calling escorts (to demand better services.).
Many members are in fact trusted and acknowledging this even if they don’t come forward with references, will make the EI seem less clique-ish, so many of those accusations lately.


I could write on for ages, but I’m afraid James will shoot me if I do. So I just vote yes and I hope it will be implemented.

I think this proposal would be better than the current system. But then again, almost anything would be better than the current system.

Personally, my preference would be for anonymous votes in the established members' forum and the private escort forum, with something like 2/3 needed in both. If "trusted reviewer" doesn't mean someone we trust then it is largely pointless.

Ok James , you disagree with me on the view of a TR being held in high esteem. Thats fair enough but right now the TR status dosen't have much clout around here. IMO it should be respected so i hope some changes are made.
I shall wait and see.
