    if its a new girl she might be worried the TR holds more respect and trust on the website...he can give her a bad review and its his word against hers as to what happend during the meeting.

    K.. point taken, but she can be as nice as pie during the visit, and still leave a private complaint. Management are known to be soo discrete about these things...

    I get that Sugar. But, for example, what if you have a new girl who is too scared to talk to us, let alone in private? It can be a cold an intimidating place for some here.

    I have a few names I look out for when I check for reviews and to be honest, without checking now, I couldn't tell you if they have a badge or not. I've also been on this site quite some time and I've no idea what the badge means or how you get one. I used to think it was based on volume of reviews but I spotted some guy last week with a badge and he'd only written 6 reviews.

    And I'm not looking for an explanation. I don't care.

    I can normally tell an honest review by the language used and the consistency of detail between reviews. I can't say I've been let down by the system and my instincts yet.

    My vote was to scrap it on the basis it is open to abuse even if most badge-holders are honest decent punters.

    And as an ordinary decent punter myself, who the system is presumably meant to serve, it is meaningless to me.

    That's my tuppence on it anyway .

    I must admit as this thread goes on, I am finding it more and more depressing. It appears that the TR status has lost total credibility, I'm sure through a small minority, and if kept needs to be totally re-thought, although from what I've read so far I cannot see a solution that would restore trust for both the escorts and clients.

    I remember when the TR system was brought in, it was mostly in response to requests from escorts. Now escorts seem to be voting about 3 to 1 to scrap it. That's a clear sign that something is very wrong. Could it be fixed? Possibly. Will it be? I doubt it.

    “I wish you wouldn’t keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly; you make one quite giddy!”
    “All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.

    Which is why I suggested over a year ago that private forum have a chat section with rooms, at least that way a few escorts can go into a chatroom and if they know who each other are they can talk about an issue or concern in peace without it being on a private forum forever and a day for hundreds to read at any time into the future.

    But my days of banging head against a wall are over here.

    The mere possibility that TRs could abuse their status, and that escorts would be afraid to report them or refuse them is enough to get rid of the whole thing.

    If an escort is coerced into doing something she doesn't want to do, doesn't that mean consent is missing from whatever happens?

    I agree scrap it...because it creates a false illusion of trustworthiness.

    Im not sure youve much choice now that its shown to have been abused.

    That most escorts dont like it says it all.

    At the end of the its up to readers to use their intelligence to judge whether a review is trustworthy or not.
