Verified Pics + Reviews - IMPORTANT

[Patricia]

Thanks for your feedback deleteduser.

1. I think verification of photos post agreement to accept reviews should be mandatory. Too many times I have trusted the photos, but no review, and EVERY time I have been let down without fail.

I'm not sure I get your point here... It is not making complete sense to me! Maybe you can explain better if you think it is necessary.

2. What about if on the advert, the opportunity for the escort was given for "Reason for opting out of review system.." This could give them a forum to appease perusers of the site and to justify their decision. I can't personally think of ANY justification, but the chance to speak should be offered.

I'm not sure this would help anything much... All escorts could give a genuine seeming reason here, but would clients be able to trust them? I don't see why they would.

3. Scoring / Rating, something similar to www.hotornot.com could be introduced. Often in the escorts review section you see a long list of reviews, but there could be a bad one in there that you don't read, so another column beside "date", for example could be included for putting % score.

I think this is probably a good idea and something we should unless other people can give good reasons for us not doing it.

4. I understand and realise that these forums are available for the escorts to respond to negative reviews, but I believe that they should be able to append their own "censored" comment in reply to negative reviews. And obviously not be able to "censor" the review itself as Patricia and her crew do this already. Perhaps a client was rude when arriving, and the escort was offended resulting in poor gfe - these girls are human after all.

We actually let escorts add comments on the actual reviews as you are suggesting already. The problem seems to be that many escorts, once faced with any sort of negative review, seem to prefer to simply opt-out of reviews rather than respond and defend themselves.

On here and by PM some escorts have already told me why they don't like reviews.

As Appoline says, she feels we let guys add comments like 'I tried to call her and she didn't answer, what a bitch' and this is wrong. I would have to agree that if we are lettting comments exactly like that go up, that isn't really on, but I'm not sure I'm totally with Appoline... I think 'bitch' should be removed as it is rude and unneccessary to call names like that, but I think clients should be able to comment on an escort that has let them down when they've made a booking with her for example.

Other escorts have said they would allow reviews if they were not lurid, i.e. we should remove the services info from reviews and keep the content 'clean'. I'm currently investigating whether we could move to a 3-tiered system. [1] No Reviews Allowed [2] Reviews allowed [3] Partial Reviews Allowed (e.g. Ratings but no services info and no comments box for clients to possibly write lurid comments in). Implimenting this would be quite a lot of work technically I think, but if it is a good way forward, we'll do that work.

Thank you to everyone who has been supportive over this and please keep giving feedback.

What would stop an escort from bumping up her rating though? For example, if an agency had a number of girls posing as independent escorts and wrote fake reviews about all the girls to trick punters into thinking they are good, if you then provide option number three that same pimp/escort could add to their rating all they want and give an even more inaccurate impression.

If all the girls on the top on one particular page (just say the Cork page for example) worked for an agency but posed as independents and they all had 5 star ratings then gullible/unaware/unassuming punters might not look at some of the more genuine girls.

Also if the same pimp was given the ability to give bad ratings to genuine girls (as well as terrorise them by kicking their doors in) then you'd get an even worse rating/impression of those girls who aren't always stuck to the top of the page (just say the Cork page for example)
