Being able to distinguish very (dis)satisfied from somewhat (dis)satisfied at a glance would be good. Even having two different shades of green or of red would probably be enough.
I like the idea of different symbols for definitely fake and possibly fake reviews. Sometimes reviews which are definitely fake are simply deleted, but I prefer to see that an escort has fake reviews, so I know to be cautious with her other reviews. Of course, like many ideas, this one will only work if applied consistently.
I don't like the idea of deciding on reviewer status by number of posts and reviews. If someone posts often enough that I think I have some understanding of his personality then I take his reviews more or less seriously as a result, but I don't care if someone has 100 "drop one keep one" posts.
Counting reviews is possibly even worse. There are two types of fake reviews in the system. Some escorts write their own reviews. The corresponding "reviewers" tend to have one, or occasionally two, reviews. These are never going to get "trusted reviewer" status, no matter how it's given. Then there are professional reviewers, people who go around to escorts asking for money or discounts in exchange for reviews. The really sleazy ones ask for money or discounts in exchange for not writing bad reviews. These reviewers tend to have many reviews, so any system which just counts reviews is very convenient for them.
