From what i gather about this whole thread is it boils down to status & experiences to most accurately identify a good or "gold" escort (Platinum, gold, silver, elite etc etc).
I don't see it as any benefit to me to know that an escort is "gold" escort just because they have advertised the longest etc (hence i don't see it as a benefit to the escort coz this isn't the criteria i use to choose that escort)
When i fancy an experience with an escort i go by a positives system
1) First things first "verified pics", essential to have but not a clincher in its own right
2) Allows reviews
3) Reviews in general positive
4) I check the reviews (by reviewer) - cross reference etc,,, put more weight in reviews of posters i've learned to trust etc
5) Check things like location, shower available etc (tend to be some reviews)
So what i'm getting at is to upgrade the review system (points basis - only visible to E-I staff) where more options in review (drop down options etc) to build up a total in review + reviews from established/more trusted members carry more weight.
This way the longer a member posts reviews they carry more clout
Escorts in turn could establish a verified basis if reviewed by members who we know ain't a obvious ratty review (even if not marked as such)
May be hard to do, i don't know much on IT systems
Just throwing it out there
