Escort Reviews - An Update

[Patricia]

You vet all reviews anyway so you have two choices; edit the reviews yourself or invite the reviewer to edit out explicit detail before you will allow it.

I don't want to rely on our staff to always remove explicit stuff from reviews (if the lady is one who has indicated to us she doesn't want explicit stuff in her reviews). I'd rather our systems point blank stopped clients adding text if the lady is one who strongly objects to explicit reviews.

Essentially we have lots of staff and sometimes our staff turnover is fast. Humans make mistakes, especially ones that are new to a job and still learning, so I don't want to rely on them to always catch the explicit text and edit it out if the lady is one who doesn't want expicit reviews. I'd rather our systems made it impossible for text reviews to be wriiten of ladies who have told us they don't want possibly explicit reviews. That way there won't be any screw ups and ladies nervous to accept reviews currently can be confident in the new system.

Sorry I may have misunderstood your post patricia but giving the the escorts options to reject a review will then totally negate the review process. I understand their concerns of the sexual nature of the reviews and certainly something should be done about it but giving them the power to reject the review is make the review system pointless. They'll all have glowing reviews.

Why not put a filter in the review system to *BLAM* out certain words or give a limit to 500 or less. OR appeal to the better nature of the reviewer they've obviously taken the time to visit the site and leave a comment, just ask them before submitting the review to consider the escorts and their privacy and not to be to descriptive. You'll have one or two who will abuse this but you could give it a trial run.

Hi dubM37,

I think you may have misunderstood.

I don't mean under the new system ladies will be able to reject reviews.

I mean, under the new system, escorts who don't want sexually explicit reviews can choose a limited reviews option where, when clients go to review them, the "favourites enjoyed" and "Your Review" fields will be missing in order to prevent the reviews becoming sexually explicit.

Everything else will be the same. Reviewers will still be able to include appointment info, cost of appointment and all the ratings.

Ladies accepting limited reviews will certainly have no special grounds to reject any submitted. That isn't what this is about.

This whole idea is about giving ladies who won't accept reviews currently (due to the fact they don't want sexually explicit reviews) a way to start accepting reviews again (without fear that will lead to sexually explicit reviews of them).

None of this works in my experience I'm afraid. Rules are broken on this site left right and centre every day. It is the way of the web, people don't behave! Word filters can easily be got around too. E.g. If "Anal Sex" is blocked, people just write "A-n-a-l S-e-x" or "An@l S$x" or whatever instead.

If they go ahead, i'd like to see that they are designed in such as way as to prevent being conned.

Punctuality
Directions
Location (dodgy area, busy area)
Accurate Photos
Behaviour
Phone Manner
Accurate Favourites
Overpricing (i.e. different to advertised)

Some good ideas there, thank you x

Also if you could clearly define if favourites are favourites as opposed to favourites being extras. I knooooow this has been discussed hundreds of times and yes all those threads were great, entertaining and i'm a better person for having endured them, i got all that but i'm only asking if it can be clearly defined.

Basically, i just want to know if €250 or €400 is enough and it wont turn out to be €350 or €600. If someone saw favourites and they turned out to be extras then the reviewer has the ability to say this is the case. Please sweetie, just for me? What say you?

I totally see your point mailman and I'd love to do it for you, but I'm afraid my lawyers have a major problem with the whole extras thing. They visit this website all the time and if they saw me do what you are suggesting they'd be on the phone to me quick smart saying "Patricia, the escorts on your site are no longer escorts, they are now charging for sexual acts instead of only for their time and companionship and that makes them prostitutes and possibly you an organiser of prostitution blah blah!"

[Patricia]

Also can you define "sexually explicit" ............... obviously something like "I fucked her rusty bullet hole while she screamed like the whore she is!" would be unnecessarily crude but would say "during anal sex I found her quite tight which really heightened the sexual pleasure for me" be considered too sexually explicit?? In other words where will the censorship line be drawn exacty Pat???

Both of these would be unacceptable to a lady who doesn't want sexually explicit reviews.

However, we are not now saying the latter is unacceptable in all circumstances. It is acceptable to us and to many escorts and you will still be able to add descriptive text like this to your reviews of escorts who allow full reviews after the proposed changes take place. The only difference is, you won't be able to add it to reviews of escorts who only allow limited reviews.

This is all about getting escorts who don't accept reviews currently to start accepting reviews. There are good escorts not accepting reviews due to fear of sexually explicit reviews currently and that is not a good thing. I want to see a day where escorts refusing reviews is very uncommon. I think that would be a good day for escorts and clients.

firstly i have written alot of reviews and have never felt the need or seen the advantage in being sexually explicit in them
But if the text is not in a review i think they are meaningless because if u look through reviews u will see alot with very similar favourites ,appointment information, satisfaction ratings etc so in theory theese should be all of a much similar experience.Read the text and then there will be massive differences

Ps i think explicit and vulgar reviews say alot more about who wrote them than who they were written about

pat,

you and i both know that the above statement is not true (with a couple of acceptions)

the reason for most escorts not accepting reviews are that
a. the do not provide a good value for money service or
b. they are agency escorts masquerading as independents.

so i think the new system will bring the good acceptions in to the review system i also think giving a free for all to the escorts that provide a dubious service.

well the solution to this is that nothing should be listed as a favourite unless
it is included in the standard price
If the lady does extras then something like"other services avaliable" can be added
and when the client phones he will know that he can find out about extras.
Or alternatively list all her services as favourites and give her price for 30min/1hr including everything

Why thank you, i do try

Ok, i see your point but ..... theres always a but

The story with the current situation with favourites ticked? They are not extras, just favourites and the punter finds out for himself when he gets there? That's fair enough

In the new reviews, there should be something to suggest if favourites are accurate or not. In the old 'real' reviews they can be ticked and you know if its there, extra or not. In the new 'not so real' reviews that would need to be there too, i.e. favourites accurate or favourites not accurate. A yes/no type affair.

This and overpricing have to be addressed in the 'not so real' reviews.

Also, will there be a way of filtering out these new reviews as well (i already dont think it will benefit punters) and you'll have girls with 'real' reviews opting for the 'not so real' reviews, making a fairly non-intuitive system (fake reviews and inaccurate review common place) even less so now.

I have given up on report fake reviews (one girl trying to discredit another girl, or a girl writing her own) for the simple reason, i got more information for them doing a bad job of it than the actual review system itself.

I'll be honest, i only read reviews for the information. I seriously think that info will not be evident in the new system, thus making it redundant.



And just on reviews themselves, anyone can read mine and see what you think. I do not abuse this, i comment mostly on the girls character, language barrier, attitude, etc. and avoid any crudeness or unpleasant language that the girl may not enjoy.

Maybe something that should be added for the girls benefit is a 'reply button' within the 'real' reviews where she can comment and ask for it to be addressed. Having the button there may encourage more use of this system. Just a suggestion.
