New Sticky - Changing usernames - clients

[Rodney69]

IIRC, that is frowned upon.

yep, i doubt it happens.

As already suggested, won't it be helpful to get rid of the Top Reviewers list altogether? If it is actually stopping 2 frequent reviewers (just according to this thread) from posting reviews, it must deter others as well.
There seems little point in a top reviewers list. If guys like the look of an escort, they will read up as much as they can about her, including all her reviews. It will be up to them to then make a decision based on all the available info.... If someone is lucky enough to be able to see lots of escorts compared to other punters it doesn't make much difference, does it? Would their opinion weigh more heavily than someone who only sees escorts infrequently?
Don't know if that makes sense - what I'm trying to say is, I don't see who benefits from a top reviewers list (except maybe some girls).

I agree. I do read a lot of the top reviewers reviews, but only when checking a specific escort profile. I look out for theirs and other reviewers I trust. But I rarely see the need to go through all of anyone's reviews at once. Besides there is a link to a client's reviews on his profile page and on every one of his forum posts anyway. Makes that list seem pointless imho.

Good grief. The TR badges only just went. There are going to be some seriously pissed of top reviewers if they read this, they luuuurrrve havng their name up in lights

[ladiesman217]

I foresee someone (not me) posting a poll regarding this...

Thats what I am thinking too Lucy. Hell, there was of course only yet another TR thread today. But seriously, if the list stops posters like Mark444 from reviewing I say do away with it.

Fine, no problem. If guys want their usernames in lights then good luck to them.

I dont think a reviewer has to reach a certain quota to qualify to get on the List. It just happens that there are 'x' spaces on the page to be filled and just happens the lowest now is 36 I think. It could be 18 or 60 !! I notice some of the 'top reviewers' havent sumitted reviews for nearly 2 years, some are banned, some have been discredited .

What is the importance of forcing a guy on to the List when he doesnt want to go there ?

Well it is stopping me from submitting reviews which is unnecessary and indeed unfair I think to those girls who might appreciate a review.

[Sam Spade]

First of all I would like to state that in my opinion this is a dependable and reliable site that many a client and escort would find hard to replace. I may not post on 'how great this site is' threads, but that does not negate the importance and impact this site has made on clients such as me.

This may be a long winded post, so I am having to break it down into three sections,
so apologies if I seem to ramble at times - I try my best!

The three elements I would like to consider in this area are:-

1. Username;
2. Reviews;
3. Conclusion.


1. Username

Simply put, E-I will not entertain a user to change his/her name.
Many reasons have been given, in particular keeping track of posters, multiple reviews on different profiles and of course the work involved in changing a username.

Certainly closing one account and opening another will or course cause confusion as Sam outlined,
especially if a poster is unprincipled, which I hope I am not.
The best solution in my opinion would be to edit ones user name, or failing this to transfer the reviews onto another account.

E-I state they will not do this!

It has been suggested this is not possible due to the work involved.
As E-I is a business I can understand the concerns and the costs of the work involved in such issues.
This is why I suggested paying for the work in both the transfer of my reviews and any other area which E-I would find beneficial to both escort and myself.

This was turned down flatly by E-I.

They may have thought this was an empty gesture on my part, but it wasn't.
Put it this way. I started using E-I back in September 2010.
During this time I have invested (sorry for using this term) around £28,000 in visits and gifts to the ladies I have visited. I am not stating this to boast, but rather to remind management and E-I how much we posters contribute to the business of these ladies.
Business is difficult, so just multiply this by 100 clients and you will see where I am coming from!
So, for every review we may make, we may visit another three or four ladies we have previously meet. Do the maths!

Will E-I change their mind about my request?
I doubt it, which to be frank is not only disappointing, but will of course influenced the way I conduct my future visits and posts on this forum.


2. Reviews

This is a very important issue, which should not be neglected.
What perhaps should be remembered is that once a review is submitted, it becomes the property of E-I.
If an escort retires, considers her safety or identity at risk, she can opt out of the review system, allowing her piece of mind during a difficult and perhaps turbulent time.
A client cannot do this!
Therefore if a client was stupid enough (yes, I was one), who registered with his real name, visited ladies in the city he conducted business in, and was well known in the area (and unfortunately I am well known), then he has no redress to protect his identity.

Maybe not the concern of E-I, but perhaps the 'wider picture' should be looked at on such occasions!

Anyway, I personally believe reviews are a very important issue, as this can directly effect an escorts business.
Most of us will notice an escort with no reviews, and once she has been reviewed by a respected poster (having taken a chance in many instances), her business takes off!
Personally I wish I could post more of my reviews, but unfortunately this is not the case.

Therefore although I wish my reviews to stand, I would like them to be posted under a different user name.


3. Conclusion

I would like to put something out to the management of E-I.
I would be more than willing to forward the sum of £1,000 to edit my username from mark444 to more444 which would be of benefit not only to myself but also to E-I and their advertisers.
Would this be sufficient to cover the costs?
Let me know.


To be perfectly frank, I have become quite tired and wearisome of the struggle to change my user name.
If it is not possible I will accept this and forgo the pleasure of posting and reviewing on this forum.

It may be a greater loss to me than E-I,
but at times we have to take that step for the greater good.

Yours respectfully,

Mark444

Okay Mark, this isn't about 'buying' your way into making things possible.

Let me just add to your points:

1) You say that E-I won't shift reviews from one username to another; we actually can't do this, a fundamental reason as to why we can't allow a change of usernames (as well as many other reasons)

2) Once submitted, a review is technically the property of the escort, not E-I, although we do have an influence only when a) we suspect their is some suspicious activity regarding the review or b) the reviewer has breached some of the rules of submitting a review (i.e. the time in which a review is submitted, if the review contains sexuality explicit material against the escort's wishes). For reasons already outlined, we cannot allow the reviews to fall under a different username.

I'm sorry Sam but that simply is not true, I had my username changed, a simple change granted but changed none the less, when this was done any subsequent reviews I submitted appeared on my new username, with my old ones staying with my old username, I had over 10 on my original and I had also got over 10 on my new, I can't remember why it was let get that far but once I pointed this out to NBT who was the reviews mod at the time he quickly moved them from the original profile to my new one without any problems..
