New Trusted Reviewer Proposal.

[JAMESCORK]

Hey SD,

It's just that in the OP James states in point 2.
2. The criteria to automatically qualify for TR status is suggested as a reviewer that has at least 5-10 ten reviews and be established & currently active member

Would lead me to believe that 269 posts and and 5-10 posts are the only qualifying factors.
Correct me if I'm wrong

5-10 reviews you meant obviously.

Yes, do you feel these proposed numbers should be higher.

Yes reviews.. sorry

I think the numbers are ok, but I think there has to be some input from the escorts themselves. Proof as it were thet the person has actually seen an escort.
Otherwise whats to stop any armchair jockey posting away here on drop one keep one and submitting a few reviews on girls that don't post and becoming a TR ?

I think the answer might lie with the profile reference system.

Excellent Idea...
Bear in mind, this is just an eligibility proposal, the actual handing over of the TR status should still be voted on by established members. In fairness to Karin (Sensual Delights) she gave this great thought and proposed a new forum off the Established Members Lounge dedicated to “New Trusted Reviewer Voting” whereby all eligible members must pass a minimum vote in order to secure their badge. I don’t expect the badges to be handed out willy nilly.

You are a prime example N73. The fact that you do frequent the boards as you say is sufficient in my mind for your eligibility. There is also no reason why the existing criteria may not work in conjunction with the new. If you do not want to post and feel you may never meet the minimum posts required, continue to apply using the old criteria.

And I feel the system is broken and in need of fixing. Since the introduction of the new criteria last Feb/Mar we have had only a handful of new TRs. The whole process is taking too long…

Maybe the reason there's only a handful of new TRs is because people just aren't bothered or that people don't know about the criteria, I only found out when I started posting even though I'd been a member for two years. I didn't even know about PMing or that there was a forum, perhaps a small note on the home page wouldn't go astray ?

Just one thing, while i am a trusted reviewer I do not post that much and this would be a bit of concern for me, don't get much of a chance to post and would like to keep my status.

Good point n73. But I also maintain that a lot of good reviewers find the existing criteria to be to stringent. The idea of three written references is especially off putting. We are only looking for an easier but still calculated way of increasing our TR numbers.

This is a delicate issue Gaaman. What happens to the existing TRs. That is why a Sticky List should be posted to allow established members to see who is on the list and be given the opportunity to object if required. But you have to admit a TR that will at least be more available for discussion is possibly more in a position of trust than one that is not.

This could exclude quite a few of TRs off the Top Reviewers list.
And leads me to question what about TR badge holders who have been banned ?

Ah can of worms..... lol.

I see no reason to defrock any existing TR unless the list is posted and enough opposition to an individual is put forward

Good work James.
I hope they take it on board after all your hard work.
