I don't think so. I think there were reasons for that too though.
I find the TR system a little masonic at present. Although, I do take on board what you are saying about Yes Voters, especially new posters influencing the vote. Perhaps it should be a poll where only verifiable voters votes (apologies for that appalling sentence) are taken into consideration.

Its the Escorts fault really. The "girls" approve reviewers for the badge. They have all the power. I have dozens of PM's with references from Escorts of clients. The TR Mods didn't give badges to people without all their references and then those references had to confirmed with the Escorts. If they passed but the Mods thought that the reviewer was undesirable we still wouldn't give them a badge.
Generally its the same 30 girls that provide references for clients. So if pimps and bullshitters are getting references for approval then its the same 30 girls approving them. All these girls are known to the board and have great reputations or so I thought because apparently pimps are getting badges? Who are these pimps exactly? Name them please. I have never recieved any PM over the year of TR Moderation from an Escort complaining about a pimp getting a TR badge. So is this a recent thing? I'd like to know.

How the hell are we supposed to know what a client will do after we give him a reference??!
How the hell are we responsible for other peoples conduct?
I have read many things on this forum but that has just taken the effing biscuit. It is our fault? Balls. We have no more influence than a chocolate fireguard when it comes to this, and at the end of the day who will say no to a client asking for a reference? Not many girls.

I disagree. If we get escorts to answer this and then announce to the posters that this has been decided one way or another, I think many clients will feel cheated, given that it's the clients that hold the badges, not the escorts. This is why it was decided to have a good mix of voters.
Well as has been said its escorts that give these badges in a roundabout way and collectively so it should be ultimately them that pull the plug.
No one should ever lose sight of the fact that this is males (mostly) "recreation" and Females (mostly) "livelihood" for that inescapable reason escorts veiws/wishes/votes count as more important.
As has already been posted about today, an open vote in private forum whould still deter some escorts from voting in there even if a poll was in there, for that reason they should have the option to pm a vote, much the same as looking on it as a postal vote.
But it's also escorts that give punters references Kelly. As for the number of TR's abusing the system, I've had my fair share of escorts complaining about potentail bad reviews from TR's, unless they had a bad experience and are countering the review before it's been submitted? If so, then that causes problems too.

I don't think so. The idea of this poll didn't just come from me anyway, it was discussed in a meeting actually. If we allow a PM option to vote, there will be accusations of speculation. It is clearly marked that the poll is open, so if an escort doesn't wish to vote, there will be no come back.
