Trusted Reviewer Criteria Reaction

[Quarterpoundher]

And your point is...

Exactly what I said...

Are we losing the plot here slightly? I am participant of EI because a like meeting and … cough… greeting very attractive women. The review system allows me to select girls to my taste and to avoid disappointment. A “Trusted Reviewer” as I understand it is a reviewer who firstly, actually takes the time to post his review to the benefit of others and secondly, should be an individual whose reviews have been vetted in some way as to lead to his trustee status. That’s it! A regular punter who wants to share his experiences and benefit from the experiences of others. It should not make him anymore special than any other reviewer – except in the fact he has put in the time, experience, and hard earned cash to arrive at this trust. We HAVE to get started on a system that recommences the handing out of badges (although a badge is an unfortunate icon as it denotes a medal of achievement over others, maybe a simple tick mark would be better). If we don’t seem to have a fair system in place going forward the begrudgery will continue.

I think the idea of identifying Trusted Reviewers is definitely a good one. I find it especially helpful when I see a badge on a negative review (that’s just my methods). But as with any system there has to be some type of forum in existence in order to vet a proposed reviewer and arrive at that decision. This golden circle comment is exactly the wrong begrudging attitude we don’t need. Frequent posters, I feel, have more experience of reading reviews, reading punters’ experiences, reading escorts’ experiences and possible joining in on the discussions. They also visit the Reviewers and Warning sections regularly. And of course,surely the Mods have the most experience as they have to monitor all this.

Common sense can easily identify a trusted reviewer. Therefore my suggestion is this. We have now commenced the Established Member section. These members are the ones that should put forward a new Trusted Reviewer and it should be put to the vote or poll. For gods sake we currently have a poll to find out if an escort Isis is attractive or not. Why not start a new ‘Potential Trusted Reviewer’ section. An individual may put himself up to the vote if he wishes. It is in our interest to identify potential candidates and put them up there. If the proposed achieves sufficient positive votes over negative, he gets his badge. If a candidate is borderline NOW involve the escorts he has reviewed. A Mod may post a reason where he/she feels he should not and this could be taken into consideration also. All members will check the proposed candidates’ reviews before voting, hence we all get a say.

I use the Trusted Reviewer extensively and find it easier to scan reviews. I want more trustees to be set up as soon as possible to make my life easier. At the end of the day all we want is to select a suitable escort effectively and not to continue to divide the punters into two more and more distant groups.

You are generalising things. Its not the case that "any" such reviews are ratted, only the ones that we have agreed are suspect and discussed.

Plus I used the word sap and not any other mod and I am not involved with badge issuing so again your ascertains hold no water.

My repeating the word ‘sap’ was simply to indicate the irony that at the time my review was treated with derision while the new system being proposed would require that a reviewer effectively be cleared by an escort, surely a situation that will only happen if the escort is being reviewed positively.

I hadn’t checked to see who had made the comment; I’ve no interest in engaging with anyone about it one way or the other (bar this clarification of my comment). I simply repeated it to highlight what I saw as an ironic situation.

I don’t bear you any malice at all over the comment as I think the issue was eventually sorted by the end of that day

I’ve no problem with a system to provide accurate information to someone reading a review, it’ll help everyone, I just think the one being proposed isn’t the right way to go.

There is no perfect solution to anything to do with reviews as everyone well knows. The mods who volunteered their time to this are doing what they feel is the fairest way. It once was just done by one person and no one know why a badge was issued, at least this way all three have to agree and it is discussed in full view of Patricia in mod forum and is a combination of not just those 3 but also 3 opinions of escorts into the equation so their is checks and balances here that did not exist before. It is simply not possible for any one mod to get someone a badge, all 3 have to agree and even if 20 escorts wrote glowing refs for someone that still does not mean he will get a badge if only 1 badge mod vetos it that's that stopped in its tracks. To make out that all someone has to do is write 3 positives and then ask them to give a thumbs up is not being accurate to the terms and conditions involved in getting a badge. Badges are only an addition to things, people can ignore them or place merit on someone having them. This new criteria may not be to everyone's taste but its far better then what went before it.

These proposed systems are over-complicated and are being over-thought by the wrong people, i.e. people that spend a lot of time on the site, posting on the message boards and submitting reviews.

And who would you suggest, a bunch of newbies or trolls???

What would be created, and maybe this is the unwritten intention at the back of all this, is a system where only a select few will have attained membership of the ‘golden circle’, learned the secret handshakes, received the invitation to the high table at the king’s banquet while all others will be excluded unless they jump through the (hula) hoops of those in charge.

Rubbish. The improvements that are being implemented are for the benefit of the review system and all who use it..........

Asking reviewers to put so much work in will put them off writing reviews, as the reviews would become worthless unless they agreed with one submitted by a ‘trusted reviewer’.

So what do you suggest, the work be put in by everybody else???

If people are really serious about wanting things to improve, they'll put in a little work...........

It’s funny that asking an escort for their cooperation before submitting a review is now being recommended

How is asking an escort for her cooperation before submitting a review being recomended???

only recently any review that was suspected of being too close to the escort was ratted

Utter bullshit..............

There’s a story behind each escort, each reviewer, each client and each browser of this site. To ask all to comply with a strict set of rules or be left feeling that their opinion doesn’t matter is wrong.

So again, what do you suggest???

Let anybody post what ever they want, or write what ever that want in a review???

Ya, no problem, cause nobody would ever take advantage of anything like that......

I'm sure nobody would ever use the system to try to promote themselves, or damage others in any way if everybody was just left to themselves to post what was "honest"............

Some relationships between clients and escorts are cordial and friendly, maybe developing over time into actual friendships, some just purely financial, it is something private between those parties. If they choose to share their experiences, either party, they should not be discouraged.

WTF............

We're talking about reviews here, not sharing feelings of friendship and relationships. I don't mean to sound cold about this but I'm not sure what you're really on about here..............

We're not trying to discourage people from posting reviews or anything. What we are trying to do is to disencourage people from posting fake reviews etc..........



Actually, I'm going to give up on replying to any more of this post..............

I'm sorry Wakka Wakka, but you're living in a dream world as far as this subject is concerned.............

You're a very trusting bloke, again, I'm sorry, but the review system just doesn't work like this...........

I wish...............

[jackpot]

Exactly what I said...

So you did mean that!!!

[letme69u]

If she keeps an eye on her appointment times and reviews, she could probably guess your username anyway............

But since you're reviewing her and you've met her, I don't see the problem...........

But I do not want the escort to know who I am!!! Part of the reason of using an escort is to remain unknown

[luther]

Yes, I understand that of course, so then people don't put accurate time and dates for appointmnts, but the problem then is, is somebody leaves a negative review of an escort, and she writes a rebuttal to say she wasn't working, or didn't see anybody at the time the review says, who is to be believed???

Did the reviewer just leave a negative review to damage the escort, or is the escort not being truthfull and taking a chance that the time isn't accurate???

Less than a week to go until April 1st, I reckon someone is preparing for the WUM of the decade.
There's no way anyone is actually serious about these criteria......

There's no way anyone is actually serious about these criteria......

Which part in particular do you think is causing the most problems???
