Dislikes!

Well according to the mods , they can't see who's using the thumbs
So well an other fantastic feature

Willie, we cannot see at a glance like with the thanks to the posts.
However if we had to find out we could do with the help of the IT.

That's what I did for anny
If I see any escort with all her good reviews with the thumbs down, then I'm going to give her reviews the thumbs up

I like to see someone who makes such good use of there time.

I'm all for experimentation Lu. I think you guys do a good job but you are dealing with a nation of whingers, so in general people only focus on the negative. But on this one, I think the results of the experiment are clear. In it's current format it is way too open to abuse and doesn't provide much value to compensate. The other features you mention, like reviews, are also open to abuse but their value outweighs that risk.

if you have any ideas on how to tweak it to make it more fir for purpose please send them my way.
I have passed on already the idea of showing who gave the thumb up / down to the advertisers.

Maybe put more context around the thumbs up/down, a lot of people will realise it is a commentary on the review itself but a fair proportion will either mistake it for a comment on the advertiser or will just interpret any small sign of a negative as a reason to avoid an escort, it may help to have the thumb up/down linked more directly to the review i.e a key such as ... 4 people liked this review, 1 person disliked this review.

Finally we have a lady to speak up for the way this pointless system is being abused.
It has no advantage to either the escort or client so either let us see who's doing the voting or scrap it.

Hi Anny.

Thats not a kind of indignation about the sistem because as i said i dont think its going to affect me. I was just curious who would do that.

Anyway you can choose if you use the thumbs or not.


Hi Zilch

[LuckyLu]

I'd scrap it, TBH. I don't need other people's opinions on whether a review is good or not. I can read the review myself and make that call. No one is going to trust anonymous thumbs up/down counts instead of a) looking at the review and b) looking at the review count of the reviewer and c) if in doubt looking at those other reviews.

Sometimes less is better.

If it were me I would be investing development resources into building a better reputation management system for both escorts and punters. Once the new law comes in, being a reputation broker would be a very valuable role. I have ideas which I should patent, but if you have product managers worth their salt, they should be thinking and developing these ideas themselves.

the thumbs up / down mechanism and its outcome will be eventually reflected on the reviewer's profile.
as in "95% users finds my reviews helpful" for example.
we need to start gathering this information somehow.

another idea we had was for the advertisers to give feedback on the reviewers / punters.
maybe not in a review format, but simply to indicate if he is punctual, did not mess around at the time of making a booking, was generous, if she would meet him again if she would recommend him. etc etc

Or as it would later be called..... prosecution exhibit A.


To be serious I think any initiative to improve the review system should be welcomed. Is there any consideration to what may/will happen when this hobby is illegal on the whole island as to keeping the reviews continuing or making them private somehow Has there been a noticeable impact on volume of reviews from NI?

I can understand what you mods are trying to do trying to find an alternative to the trusted client system. While I do think the current system does need to be changed I think what you are suggesting in your post lu does sound like a good idea. Especially given the ladies the right to give feedback on the clients and have that feedback shown on a clients profile. I know we already have the reverence given but it would be interesting if the lady could give more feedback and that it isn't anonymous. But the ladies might have different ideas on that.
