Author Topic: Review grading  (Read 2101 times)

Offline The Beano

Guys, I am new to this site, but have been punting a couple of years and would like to suggest there are not enough grading choices in the review section. We currently have positive, neutral and negative. In my experience, the gradings might be

Negative, something that is totally unacceptable eg b and s, intimidation, outing etc

Neutral, ok but with inaccurate services eg no proper kissing, only cum once, added extras etc

Positive, more or less as advertised, gives satisfaction but some minor gripes eg knocking a few years off.

Exceptional, does all services as advertised but goes above and beyond to give an exceptional service.
These would be girls like Platinum Cindy, Independent Michelle and the like that I have experienced.

This would be so useful for guys like me who travel a lot and go to new areas and just want to see who are the must see girls in a particular area.

It might also make punters more accurate in the gradings they give to girls ie less 10/10 for services that are really just average.

Apologies if is has been raised before, and it's probably an IT nightmare, but would be a great benefit for me.

You could always write something in the review title, for example my latest review from just over a week ago I put "Positive (just about)" next to her name in the review title. Something I'll think I'll do more often.

Exceptional....I guess if you see a escort a few times and report on her then you could say that to you she is exceptional, but how do you know she gives the same sort of service to everyone!.
Would you give exceptional to an escort who went 5 minutes over time to get the added status, or the parlour girl who ignored the knock on the door to cram in an extra few minutes with you.

Whats wrong with a positive quote, with a reason why your giving the service a positive plus, so we can work out why she is getting the positive plus, and we can work out for ourself if she deserves it, pretty much as some do now.

grading is so subjective anyway that to try and refine it would create more problems than it solves.

I think the current system is simple and easy to understand.

Can't see any benefit in adding an extra grade -

Positive pretty much means - I enjoyed it enough to come back, or even if I'm not rushing back I feel confident that that YOU might enjoy it (at least if you happen to share my taste).

Neutral means blah - I would not come back, you may or may not have a good time.

Negative means - I either got out of dodge on sight, or wished I had. Visit at your peril.

Within each of these three broad categories the review itself will give a pretty clear steer on whether it was exceptional, great, "merely good", blah, bleuch etc.

I like the reviews just as they are personally but only admin has the power to change them of course.

Tbh I think you want Cordon Bleu WGs served up on a plate, and what you want is not achievable, least of all by a possibly over prescriptive review format, if only for the reason that reviewers opinions IMO are somewhat subjective, and you need to read them carefully and apply your own judgement and intuition drawing upon your own experience and that of other UKP members.

I agree. 3 Grades is sufficient and there's enough scope for the reviewer to embellish their view in what they write within.

I do not think a new 'Exceptional' rating would work, for two reasons:

First, it would be unfair to the WG's who are currently graded 'Positive' who would otherwise have been graded 'Exceptional' were such a grade been available at the time the review was written.

Secondly, new reviews graded 'Exceptional' would also mislead the punter (especially new members of UKP) who would not realise some older WGs and reviews might only be graded 'Positive' and not 'Exceptional' because they were written before the addition of the new 'Exceptional' rating.

TBH, Neutral is a negative automatically to me who wants an average shag? Think about how long a punt takes if you plan travel, shave you body etc and that doesn't take into account the cost.

Guys, I am new to this site.

Indeed you are, far too new to start telling Admin what he is doing wrong.    :bomb:

Offline threechilliman

It's all subjective anyway and reviews should be used in conjunction with other methods to determine whether you think she's suitable for you.

I've visited two girls who have +ve reviews on here and I left -ve reviews myself. On the flip side, I've left +ve for a girl and another punter who I PM with left her (actually them) -ve.

For me -ve means -ve, neutral means -ve and +ve means have a read and if she passes on that test, use your other selection criteria to determine whether shes any good for you.

My opinion about the topic of neutral rating was expressed one year ago in this post here when the new then rating was first introduced. Perhaps a further rating would be good; perhaps a secondary parallel rating with 0 to 5 stars would be even better. Perhaps. BUT, BUT, BUT at the end of the day even with the current three rating system the rating in the heading is entirely subjective. You have to read the review as each punter has different criteria and requirements. What is exceptional to you may be neutral or even negative to me and vice versa.

Offline cueball

I don't see a problem with the current system. If she is really exceptional (or really shit) you can say as much as you like on the actual review.

Offline CBPaul

I have no problems with the current system and don't think a new exceptional grading would be of any use.

The existing positive and negative are clear enough, neutral is more of a grey area but as reviews are so subjective a neutral could shift to positive or negative depending on the punters reasons for giving the neutral in the first place. For instance, if a neutral was given because anal or RO were not offered it would become a negative for those seeking those activities or may become a positive for those who aren't bothered. Depends on the rest of the review.

It all comes down to the substance of the review, the classification is only a header, it's the main review that helps me make by final decision.

Another thing.

I think there's a 'rites of passage' to be earned by being a member here, reading the generally well considered posts and contributing to the site.

If we make it too easy for the lurkers and non contributors to jump to a link for say the 'Elite Gold Standard WG's' it will probably be the members here that will never be able to book them.

Indeed. There is a trend of passing on 'hot off the press' info via pm first then wait a while before the info is made public via a review. There are way too many lurkers taking advantage of all the info from UKP and contribute nothing.

There's nothing wrong with having 'positive' as the highest rating.

Introducing a higher rating of 'exceptional' would only encourage more arse licking and touting from pussy whipped members.  :vomit:

Offline hockogrockle

I agree with the general consensus. Three gradings are enough. If it's a good review, the grading tells you what to expect when you read it. If the negative issues in (for example) a "neutral" review are not ones that would concern you: "her irritating laugh drove me nuts", or whatever, then you can mentally upgrade the rating. Likewise, if you think, after reading a negative review, that it is impossible to please some people, then that can be upgraded too. And conversely with negative things the reviewer has glossed over but which you consider important.
In short, there is no substitute for reading the whole review. The rating just gives a general idea of its flavour.
And that, by the way, is why I don't like reviews that are just a couple of sentences of badly-written ranting. They don't help anybody at all. And if they don't help, they aren't worth posting.

Offline sublimetoridiculous

That's it really.

What's exceptional for me could neutral at best for someone else. So adding another category isn't going to inform the process.

Offline hendrix

Works well as it stands, don't think there's any benefit in adding either "Exceptional"  or "Fucking Disaster" really.

Offline Marmalade

A lot of punters wouldn't know an elite gold standard unbelievable drop-dead-gorgeous thousand-times-better-than-photos words-fail-me best-girl-I've-ever-had-the-pleasure if it slapped them in the face with a gold plated tampon, but there are plenty that convince themselves.

A shag is a shag and the more you have, and the more variety, as with anything, the greater the sense of perspective.

Best that can be hoped for is "Compared to what" and that is easily addressed by referencing other prostitutes on the same page who the reviewer didn't think were as good.

If you did have the new rating system, would you alter any of your reviews?

Offline Marmalade

I was going to write a longer answer but thought why bother. Some folk definitely think too much.

You come out of a punt. I say to you, nice one, did you have a brilliant time?

It was .... ok (neutral)
yeah I feel on top of the world (positive)
Nah, not really (negative).

Offline The Beano

Thanks guys, not much support for my proposal, but the question did provoke some response. Interesting that some replies acknowledged a neutral was as good as a negative, so we have two gradings for negative and only one as positive. Not suggesting the current system is wrong, just suggesting an alternative.

I've not posted any neutral reviews yet, but for me a neutral would be if I leave a punt feeling like this:  :unknown:
Positive would be from  :) to  :yahoo:
Negative from  :( to  :dash: or  :angry:

I would then expand within the review, and/or review title.

Perhaps this should be the new grading system, using :yahoo: and :) to differentiate an 'exceptional positive' or just 'positive'.

Why not just put EXCEPTIONAL in the review title?

Offline StevenS

Why not just put EXCEPTIONAL in the review title?

Because then there would be no long winded three decimal point ratings to show what a serious punter one is and apparently the birds love a long winded review with scientific formulas to the extent they will make special exception to fit said reviewer in to a busy schedule. Not forgetting that they will give 150% to the job all thanks to the rating system.  ;)
