question about reporting fakes

[samlad]

While it would say yes it's a step in the right direction it's also unfair when a lady is allowed to continue deceiving clients until 3 step forward by which time days or even her tour could have passed, surely if a reputable member of this site reports that her images are not accurate a verification photo could be sought immediately, I'm not saying take her images down as that would be unfair but at least give the client the benefit of the doubt and act on his behalf?

Of course we shall need to take this into consideration too, so perhaps a trusted reviewer should be worth two strikes? How does that sound?

A trusted reviewer should be worthy enough for an investigation, 2 more strikes in the mean time and the images come down??

Of course. Like I say, it would be a three strike system, TR's would be worth two strikes and non-TR's worth one. After some points made yesterday we feel that TR's should have some credibility given their status.

Now that snaps are taken by ei does this mean that from now on when we see a profile and pics are different then what we saw the day before that we can report that even without proof of links to other sites and ei will look at the profile now and compare with snapshot it has stored and make a call on activating ?

I know you are working hard at improving the system and weeding out the fakes, but can you enlighten me on what the current process is for verifying an escort's photos, before the profile is put up.
Is it the case that escorts, or someone acting on their behalf, can amend photos on their profile without the involvement of Ad-staff or anyone else from E-I

There was a great bit of excitement last night when an escort's profile showed uncensored photos that were obviously put up directly by the escort.
Would it not be better if all photos were submitted for verification to E-I first, and E-I put up the photos themselves, or is this just too much to ask.

Yes, it does

To verify, an escort must send in a picture of themselves and must be holding a sign the says 'Escort Ireland' with their name written on it. This is compared with the photos uploaded. Sounds simple, right? It's not always the case.

The blurred pictures the public see are not blurred when we recieve them; we do that bit for the escort on request. However, the problems lie in the fact that professionals often cut and paste head shots, airbrush tattoos or escorts that look very similar to the picture can often slip through the net. Some of these are done with extreme professionalism and can't always spotted at a first glance, but rest assured that in the majority of cases, this doesn't happen.

The main problems come from those profiles that are not verified; it is not compulsory to have a verified account, so this is the very reason we highlight this on the escort profiles.

Then surely it would stand to reason that if a lady ios not willing to have her images verified she shouldn't be allowed change her images as she pleases?

Not all escorts wish to put up verified pictures for various reasons, but if a pattern of behaviour is picked up on, then the appropriate action will be take.

Thanks Sam, this is another step in the right direction, I know in the past long before your time, even before mods there has been various brainstorms to try counteract this problem, some were never implemented others just didn't work but it seems we have the right staff and hopefully manpower to pull it off this time once and for good
