I think it would be a good idea to provide a voting box at each member's interview site. Some do a really good job and there is no place to give them credit for it.

quote Doc77 : I think it would be a good idea to provide a voting box at each member's interview site. Some do a really good job and there is no place to give them credit for it. Well, I had three Thai trainees working on reviews and ads here (focus on Thai section). They tried to structure and compare them. Finally each trainee has given a comment. The results are as follows. Some interviews are short, obviously because of missing language skills, but giving a honest impression about the escort. A hobbyist gets a feeling what he can expect. Other reviews are full of phrases which are less or more copies stolen from colleagues. As soon as an author using copies or phrases adds own sentences, then there are often awkward mistakes (grammar). Sometimes an interview is a tool to forward an impression of the escort which is idealized. In other cases replies are identical because there are not so much alternatives for extraordinary replies. Nevertheless I agree with you that there are some good interviews having a charming style, are honest and professional for which votes might be fair and justified! But escorts having published such a good interview do not need reputation points for it, do they. They should have the skills and talents being active members of the forum writing posts, blocks and articles there. As soon as there will be a possibility to vote for interviews there will be a misuse. Friends, pimps and other supporters will be up to vote for interviews which are not worth it or which are written or corrected with help of a more talented supporter ("client friend" for ex.). Finally, what about a voting feature for ads or even galleries then? :-) |

Actually, I do vote for pictures and would vote for ads also if the opportunity were available. But if an interview, or an ad are found to be copies, or less than representative we could vote negatively. Also, we could vote for interviews of hobbyists, as well.
On the other hand, I can see that it is difficult enough to control the abuse of votes, but my suggestion is based on encouraging a higher quality and discouraging the copying and false promoting. Don't forget the power of the negative vote. It might even be better if we could comment along with the vote to add out thoughts. -------------------- Doc77

But in reality from the practical point of view I am very critical with regards to abuse and missing tolerance. Forwarding a poor vote even together with a comment making it understandable makes tolerance and self criticism necessary on the other side. Is this generally guaranteed? For westerners criticism is part of the business. For other persons being critisized is not acceptable and cannot be. ;-) |

I see. So voting on comment activity (the only thing we can vote on?) is the least vulnerable way to provide votes regarding abuse.

Well, I see it as follows:
At the moment the possibilities to vote are sufficient. Voting on comment activities is a problem already. I have an escort in mind, who has at the moment about 70 reputation points. She might be a nice lady, offering a good service, but her posts have no content, means are full of empty phrases (for ex: welcomes to the forum, agrees to other persons opinions ...). Her fan club and friends seem to be very active and vote plus for such a "bla bla bla". Voting for interviews, ads and reviews is a problem, because there is no zero level standard defined, compared to which positive or negative votes can be made. There is absolutely no objectivity ensured. Voting and reviewing persons are heterogenous. Persons of different backgrounds, priorities and motiviations. Reviews have become my favourite field. There are mostly "reviews de courtesy" to please an escort and relatively seldom reviews to support hobbyists. There are reviewers who are greenhorns easily to be impressed on the one side and experienced and critical persons on the other side. One person writes a glorifying review being super happy with a protected BJ and no CIM on the field of sexual services and for an other person such a service is wasting time and money and is simply poor. The second person normally does not write a review. ;-) Finally it is very interesting to see, how much the specials of each section reflect the specials of the related country. :-) A country where manipulation and ignoring rules is daily life has an equal quality for its section here. |

We do not give points or provide voting ability on ads and interviews as we suppose that these types of content are intended to provide information about it's author who is anyway motivated in making it in the best way. At the same time we want to stimulate website user interaction (blogs, comments, forums) and creation of content of more general importance (articles, forums, reviews etc.).
Sometimes hobbyists try to use reputation votes to express their attitude towards the professional skills and qualities of a provider voting negatively or positively on his/her posts regardless of their content. This is a wrong way of action, cause a bad provider may still be a good community member and reputation is not about escorts professionalism but rather about how this site member inputs in the community development. Reviews and perhaps forum are the only places where the professional feedback should be given. -------------------- |
