Should the Trusted Review status be abolished?

[nick2010]

Right will give my opinion ....

I don't agree TR should loose their badges. As the majority of TR have been with me was the almost example of how a genuine and respectful client should treat an escort.
I'm so grateful I have meet them. Not because they are TR but because they were gentlemen and really nice to me.
But I do agree, TR should be reviewed by all the escorts they meet. Like, the TR review will just be put up on the escort profile when the escort give her opinion about the behavior of the TR firstly, of course in a discrete way, maybe just to the website to know (just example).
After few complains they should loose they badge.
But IMO that should work to any reviewer ... Tr or not ...

I do believe in that way, lots of abuses is happening will finish. The felling of been reviewed isn't easy, and taking the risk to loose the badge will make they think twice before do anything out of normal in an appointment. Also, to normal reviewer, take the risk to loose they account.

I think TR is very good thing, specially to escorts profiles, The majority are concerned to respect the escort, but if few are not doing ok then that can be easily resolved, If the escorts stick together to separate the good from the bad.

It is not everyone James, of it's course not. However, from speaking with other escorts and reading some of the stuff on the site, there does seem to be a significant number of issues with it.

I am a sex worker, you do not need to remind me about stigma lol

Yeah I know what ya mean babe.. And you too Gordie.. The badge has causeed a divide in the ranks, a divide I abhor. I strongly believe that this system can work. I remember when I was a Joe soap back 4 or 5 years ago, reading reviews and wondering, is he kosher, can I trust him. It took me a year to really get the hang and pick my reviewers I trusted. Then all of a sudden Shiny Badges appeared on the profiles and it was like mana from heaven. My good Escort hit ratio increased dramatically. I was not a poster then, and never PMed anybody at this time, but used the badges with good sucess. Unfortunately now the badge is deemed a privaledge rather than a tool for reviewers.

We need more badges for this to work... Lucy has asked me "why do you love your badge so much" I have answered her as above... I will make a gesture... I will gladly give up the badge If I am allowed to nominate 20 of the posters here to get the badge immediately. This I see as no loss to me but a massive gain.

I use the boards for fun, I use the Escort Profiles to shag lassies. I feel I am helping myself not denying...

Just a couple of points -

I would like to see the TR system remain in place - I use reviews to help me decide whether to visit an escort or not. The more positive reviews the more likely I am to visit. Reviews from TR carry more weight with me as do reviews from clients with a lot of reviews to their name. I also take into consideration the reviewers history - is he in my opinion genuine or a moaner.

All reviewers, whether TR or not should be subject to scrutiny - if phony they should be exposed.

I have long been of the opinion that clients should be reviewed - it could take the form of a simple rating system - from avoid at all costs to good client - it should also have an opt out option - same as with escorts reviews.

I firmly believe in the same rules being applied to all - both escorts and clients.

I've never given this any consideration until this thread. I've never paid any attention to the shiny badges either.

But I'm beginning to feel like a 2nd class punter now that i notice the number of TRs out there.

Increasing the number is not a solution in my view. It will only serve to create a 'class' structure.

And I don't want a badge, thank you.

It serves some purpose. But not enough to outweigh the negative. Why would I trust someone with a shiny badge any more than locally elected official who I know fuck all about?

Reviewer MUST be reviewed hun, to make the system works , Clients have the option to meet or not an escort that choice for out of review, but us as escorts wont have that option.
We only will find out this client doest accept review after he meet us and send his review.
How could we trust a client that doesn't accept being reviewed by a escort?

I asked you that in private James.


This is all academic. Look at the votes.

The only chance that you have of keeping the system is if all the TR's give up their badges and we vote on the most appropriate system to go forward with. Im all for equality, but clients wont be sticking up their telephone numbers and pictures, and as such can slip in and out at will.

[ThomasJ]

I am not suggesting that an escort should trust a client who has opted out of a review system - I don't visit escorts who have opted out.

What I am saying is that if escorts have the option to opt out so should clients - equitable systems and fairness in all things.

The way I see things Bruno is the TR reviewer, the majority, make part of the forum. They post regularly so they are more alike to know what is right or not to do within an escort encounter.
That's why the pressure on they now. It is unacceptable TR, that know all the issues, use they badges to abuse the system, but IMO any reviewer should know what is not right to do.
I think the website should pm all the registered reviewers and clarify the problems have been happening, and say they are taking the risk to loose they account in case an escort complain about them.

Trust a reviewer is a matter of personal choice. Maybe you see few reviewer have the same taste than you, but doesn't mean the ones you dont identify with could not be trusted either. I think that is up to the escorts to decide who is a trusted client.

this is getting ridiculous ; its clear the majority of girls want it gone, but at moment there is no alternative and i think there needs to be SOME system?
if there are trs going around abusing and taking advantage, its very simple; EI can have a system for these guys to be reported, cos they should be;
EI then contacts the person (similar to if a girl s does not like/questions a negative review) and removes badge if the person cant satisfy the mod they acted approipriately, or if there are reopeated complaints by different ppl;
it should act as deterrrent, would not take long for the bad ones to be weeded out?
