What is the main objective of the Trusted Reviewer.
Is it designed to protect the Escorts from Ugly Mugs and wasters?
No I don’t believe so, most Escorts wont even know what a TR is and in general Escorts wont even know they have seen a TR until the review is posted. So how does it act as a source of protection, unless it is announced beforehand. The badge was not designed for this purpose, it may by default help, but not what its design for. 80 percent of tr's announce who they are. Some mention the review on the telephone
Is it designed to help Punters, experienced or novice, to select reviews that are deemed more reliable/trustworthy than those not flagged.
Yes… this is my understanding why back in the good ol’ days this Badge was first introduced. Its prime introduction was not to help Escorts to be safer, not to make those chosen feel more privileged, but merely to help us the punter scan a review profile and more efficiently and effectively choose an Escort. It is only an added bonus that the escorts may use the badge to reassure the punter is kosher.
After the introduction pf the badge the number of reviews per reviewer was introduced, this proved invaluable too. But the badge is one step more, in so far as there is a reassurance attached that there is a system of vetting that this reviewer has passed the rigours of his peers and is deemed trustworthy.
This is why I put forward that it is a tool for the punter first, and the escort second, and that being only by default. Now girls please don’t come on here saying I am being thoughtless to the detriment of escort safety, I’m not… it is an excellent bi-product, but not the main reason it was implemented.
Therefore …I put it to you how relevant is the number of Escorts voting when in essence it is more a tool for the punter rather than the escort. An escort will never have to use or benefit from this system except by default…
