Trusted reviewers

[samlad]

Are you really naive enough to think that a pimp would have difficulties getting three of his ladies to write references?

Not at all, hence the reason Nicole and I have decided to go through the TR's again with a fine tooth comb and do this every few months or so.

Hence the idea of a flawed system
Of course 3 girls working for that pimp can write references ...

regardless I am entitled to my opionion.... easy to get refs from escorts if they work for you..
system will never be perfect now will it

I agree, and yes, you are entitled to your opinion. I'm merely stating that it's unfair to say that all TR's are bollocks. That's my opinon.

I find the system, as it currently works, completely useless. There are "trusted" reviewers I believe to be entirely untrustworthy. There are badgeless reviewers whose reviews I trust a lot. Of course there are also "trusted" reviewers I trust, but not because they have a badge. I think the best thing would be to abolish it, since it is misleading and subject to abuse.

El Gordo, you summed up exactly what I was thinking
Just like in all walks of life, there will be people in positions of responsibility and trust. That doesn't mean they are responsible and trustworthy.

Unfortunately for someone looking here for the first time, they won't have any idea and assume that they are all reputable.

There was a thread a couple of months back, with lots of suggestions how to improve it, but it will still always be open to abuse.

I don't think all TR's are untrustworthy at all. A lot are though

The point is that spending money on appointments doesn't qualify anyone for anything really. One or two reviewers know that new ladies will bend over backwards for them, there starts the slip into positive abuse of the badge. Pimps covet the badge. No badge, no issue.

An interesting perspective. Thanks Lucy.

i think you have to keep your eyes opn on trs and non trs
there are lots of non trs that i view suspiciously and yes 1 or 2 trs that i view in same light
however no system is perfect; we need some means of rewarding great service with some recognbnition and warning the commiunity about the bad ones; votherwise ei would be just like the other websites and they arer crap imo
the review system is important to me and i think if you keep ur eyes open , spot language errors etc its often possible to spot fake reviewers;yes there will be abuses by people this is unfortunate but its not that easy to police
we have seen already this week how easy it is for an unscrupulous person and a banned user to circumvent the rules and create a new account and completly fool the community for her own benfit.

ROFLMAO

I just knew the next reply would be a TR


There are some nice reviewers, and I am sure you are one Kelso. El Gordo also is so chilled out he is vertical. But to give some men a badge is like giving a burglar keys and a map.

I sometimes feel like you’re thinking that doing nothing is better then building something that requires a lot of effort …

Anything that is worth doing doesn’t come easy and most times it does come with a few errors in the beginning.

All this energy from so many clever people like yourself, if put together (and listen to by the site) will eventually help to make the TR system a most infallible one.

Of course, if nobody listen to those suggestions, then I agree, better leave the badges out. If they are not seen as “trusty” it goes against the idea behind the TRs.
