There was a list problem a couple of years ago when escorts tried sharing client information.
It ended up in the wrong hands and created a bit of a stir.
I'm all for escorts co-operating in weeding out the good & bad clients, but I don't know what the perfect system is.

I don't think I have seen that list, but I heard about it.
It it looked like any other lists, it was incomplete, had only a tiny fraction of clients on it, with lots of data duplication etc ...
If clients have revolted for this, they have revolted for nothing.

Still, I thing things have changed now.
Clients are aware there is a bad clients system in EI and all accept this as normal part of the business.
I am happy to see that. Clients realising that girls might need a little bit of information sometimes before opening their doors wide open to someone that might not have the best intentions.

An escort that feels safe is a happy escort. A happy escort provides a great service as she is not stressed out by fear.

Of course safety is paramount and giving the ladies a safe working environment is the most important thing but i think "lists" and databases arent a very good idea. As Forrest said, it caused alot of trouble before and innocent people were accused of things they didnt do, victimised, bullied and generally had their life made hell when they didnt go along with the clique trying to push this idea. Thats wrong and I for one would not like to see a repeat of that happening again. I think if the reference system here was better managed, used more it would be quite adequate and if memory serves me right, Pat said changes and upgrades were in motion with regard to the reference system so lets give it a chance

Escort & client safety is paramount. A good reference system would definitely help.
I like happy escorts as it makes for a great appointment.

I know hunni. Reference system here would be best.
The pity is that most clients are not registered here. Some don't know how, are bad with computers, some are afraid or don't want to leave a trail.

Some girls, especially the ones with lots of reviews can easily work with registered members from E-I. Easy peasy for them. I am not into this category unfortunately Me, which I am spending most of the time online, I have to answer hundreds of phone calls a week, having no clue for most of those calls who is on the other end of the phone.

So yeah, references here are great but this will be only for the elite E-I punters, sadly a minority.

My apologies Karin, i didnt really take into account the phone call aspects of the job. Thats something that can never be fully policed but from the ladies ive met, they all seem to have their heads screwed on properly and know what they're doing. Instinct counts for a hell of alot i guess and 9 times out of 10, the ladies never get it wrong. If something doesnt feel right about the caller, then the lady is usually right as i have never known any people to have better instincts than all the ladies here, and thats a very good trait to have in this line of work especially nowadays

An interesting thread - well done Lucy for highlighting the problem.

Most punters here would not go near an escort without unverified pictures (and yes, that procedure has serious flaws as are frequently highlighted here) - should escorts not have some similar form of 'filtering'?

How wold it work in practice - I've no idea. As I understand it E-I operates in the UK so maybe (and yes this is probably naive) if clients were to register with personal information, available to the operators of the website not individual escorts, this might help. A picture holding a readable photo id or two - passport, driving licence, etc.

Two immediate problems:

1- how could clients be absoulutley guaranteed that this information would not be provided to local authorities here? (this raises a secondary issue - would local authorities here be prepared to unofficialy turn a blind eye to such a system if it helpt provide a more secure environment for all concerned and helped track down any deviants [on the understanding that a blind eye would be turned to registered clients contacted as part of any investigation who were subsequently found free of any charges other than "soliciting"]). In practice the Irish and UK security authorities operate closely - without a successful similar precedent in the UK I don't see this working.

2 - how would this be verified?

Any ideas?
