I support Reviews

[beautyaddict]

Not sure how many threads that get a bit out of hand about reviews being poor, but I thought time to put positives in place also as it seems some believe reviews are beneath them hence they do not submit any , that concept if accepted/adopted by all of us would lead to no reviews ,zero , zilch. More on that later

First
Review system not perfect , never will be

Second
Site does need feedback to improve , no argument there and should strive to improve, how it is done is an issue

Third
You have to figure it out to get best from it, a few pointers I use. First review also reviewers first review especially if reviewer recently joined...Ignore

Find those whose reviews share your preferences/tastes . If I see a review that interests me I will research the reviewer especially previous reviews, I find a girl he says amazing but I did not get it when I met her sends me to caution

I have about 5 reviewers I trust on here , if they review I am interested automatically . You need to try to find that core group if you can . Generally 10 reviews needed for me to begin to take a view on an advertiser
I also look to see if certain things mentioned like FK , if so more on the way to booking

Forum posts or response to reviews also help me figure it out , chat room much missed

Feel free to add any other useful insights, does my system always work ? Nope but it improves my decisions and many good appointments have occurred

Now here is the most important thing
If we have no reviews what then ?
Advertisers mainly support and want reviews , imagine if you had none at all ???? Massive damage to advertisers me thinks and to us

Reviews are vital to this site in my opinion and yes they can be improved but to suggest they are beneath you so no reviews or whatever else, is ridiculous

Why do some not review ? a whole different thread but if we continue to attack reviews without counter balance its not good . If some do not like certain reviews or think them some kind of badge, suck it up the site needs more reviews not less
The 5 star reviews thing ? Guilty I be but have my reasons , its not a reason to discount reviews or suggest we stop

So lets get constructive about it to improve and value review system , and if you do not do reviews for whatever reason and some have good reasons , show a bit of appreciation to those that do , we put in effort and take a certain risk to make it better for everyone on here
