Apologies, In my morning sleepy eye rant it got a bit confusing!!
Should we review without fear of recriminations,?? Criticise SP when we are paying roughly £2 per minute ?? We are allowed our thoughts & observations surely??
I'm absolutely flabbergasted that you've been a member for 2 and a half years and have so many posts yet you don't know the answer to your questions - it reflects very poorly on your reviews. I think you've fundamentally misunderstood what this site is about (up until now) and I hope this thread has clarified it for you.
Anyway, to answer directly, it depends on what recriminations. If you don't want to see the girl again then you should definitely feel free to post entirely honestly and accurately as there shouldn't be anything you should be worried about in terms of recriminations.
Among other things, you should never allow a WG to know or be able to work out, your real name, where you live or (if you drive to punts) your license plate. Obviously you shouldn't tell them those things or bring anything identifying with you (ID, credit cards etc) and you shouldn't park within potential sight of the WG's location. Obviously outcalls to your own home are also a big risk.
If however, it's too late to prevent any of those things then you need to be careful about how you review. You can PM admin to get access to a temporary new account to post a review and you can also change minor details about the punt in order to protect your identity (you need to be careful not to make it suspicious though and also not to make the review misleading in any important way to punters). You can also invite punters to PM you to get more info if there's things you don't want the WG to be able to see/work out (but generally it's best made public in order to help everyone).
Generally though, if you're not going to see them again then there's little they can do that should bother you.
The real issue though comes with positive reviews. These are the most "tricky". You should NEVER sugar coat anything otherwise it's just misleading and unhelpful. However, it also means you are liable to offend the girl you've reviewed even if the review is overall very positive. Make no mistake, the majority of WG's will be offended by minor comments in your positive reviews. Many will get offended/annoyed at anything other than a totally glowing positive that makes them look perfect and flawless. The WG's who've posted in this thread are very much in the minority, hence this post by Lilywhite:
So many hookers want this to be seen as a legit job. So surely that includes reviews. When I mentioned this on a Facebook group for SPs I was called anti feminist and that I was supporting a site which "makes women suicidal".
In my experience of positive reviews, many girls are quite easily able to work out who you are, especially if they put effort into it/start doing some cross-referencing (although it's harder for them now because WGs can't see your review list directly but they can still search for them). To be clear, I obviously have a different name on AW (and indeed multiple accounts which aren't linked) and I never tell the WG I'm NigelF or even that I'm on UKP at all. And yet when I've written strong positives for girls, I've still experienced the following (each point is a different WG):
- WG was so annoyed (at my positive review) she went on SAAFE to make false allegations against me, presumably as some sort of "revenge" in order to make it more difficult for me to make bookings with others in the future.
- WG refused to see me again
- WG's service noticeably declined (and she made an indirect comment which suggested she read my positive review/thought I might have written it)
- WG accused me of being NigelF, which made for an awkward denial and subsequent conversation
Again those are just some of the things I've experienced from positive reviews (many, very positive) and indeed the girls were good WGs and seemingly level-headed (although evidently not). As such, it's vitally important to keep your UKP identity separate/very hard to work out from your punting identity. You shouldn't need to miss out any negative/unflattering comments, you should always be totally honest, just be careful about what you say in the punt and what you write in the review, potentially add some misleading stuff for the WG in case she reads it and wait a while before posting it. You shouldn't delay with any negatives though.
Bottom line: Reviews are only helpful if you post without fear and make clear all your brutally honest thoughts and observations. In order to do that, just take some precautions.
