Author Topic: Should B&S (Bait & Switch) reviews automatically be classified as a negative?  (Read 3037 times)

Offline Rayray23k

So this forum is a vital tool for anyone who punts to find out historical performances of a Working Girl.
It helps us save time and money by filtering out the rubbish and the questionable is down to our selves to judge.
But when it comes to a B&S, you can still have a positive experience. But that doesn't help the next guy because it's a gamble if he/she sees the same WG in that profile.
Bare in mind that a positive review undoubtedly brings the WG or pimp more traffic. Obviously the review is still important and it's great that in that occasion it turned out good, but it doesn't really help the next punter and I personally don't want to support WG or pimps who continuously practice such deceitful operations.
So should B&S not automatically be classed as a negative?

A rating should be given based on the customer's experience and views. It shouldn't be automatic.

A lot of punters are fully aware the photos are fake but they go through the effort to find out what's on offer.

But also WGs will always use flattering or misleading photos. They will use filters, older photos dresses you name it. WGs deceive and that's just a fact of the biz.

Give a positive rating if you want to unequivocally recommend the provider to other punters. If you would repeat the punt as it was, or plan to revisit, you should probably give a positive rating. Note B&S bookings should not be recorded as a positive rating against original profile, even if you had a good experience.
Give a neutral rating when you have reservations about recommending the provider to other punters. Describe your reservations in your review.
Give a negative rating as a warning to other punters about the provider. There is a range of opinion about how you should treat dishonesty, misrepresented services, fake pictures and poor value in terms of the overall rating. In these instances, pointing out how you arrived at your rating will leave the punter better informed about whether they want to visit.

Lost of people will say yes but I did disagree when it happened to me a few reviews ago

She was as fit as a butchers dog and provided a first class service.

And she asked if she was alright as there had been a fuck up.
So I gave it a neutral.
And I stick by that

They can be classified as Neutral or Negative.... but not positive.

Neutral if you had a good punt but have reservations recommending since the next punter may get a different SP.
Negative if it was a negative experience (obviously)
Don’t classify it as positive since anyone scanning reviews or just looking at the overall number of positives may end up booking without realising risk of B&S.

The only person that decides the classification for a Review is the OP.

The overall rule is “your review, your rating.”

truthfully ive had a few B&S with brazilians where the sp had been WAAAAAAAY hotter then the sp on the profile. yeh the dishonestly sucks. but if your actually happier with the result i cant see me got giving a positive

If the service was good bad or average it should be rated accordingly obviously with the warning that it wasn’t the girl from the pictures and then whoever decides to see the wg can make their own mind up and base their reviews on their experience

And yet it is mostly the Chinese and Vivastreet profiles which are full of  fakes

Here's a good example.
https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=350544.0

OP had a good time. But the SP is way older, much shorter and fatter than pictures.

B&S is mentioned but it should at least be in the title. Anyone quick browsing only notices the title and it's a positive.

If you choose to rate B&S positive then you should at least consider flagging it up as a B&S by putting (B&S) in the review title.
Rating it Neutral would be a more effective way of flagging up the reservation that the next punter may not get the same SP.

How does it not help the next guy? The review will say it was a B&S so everyone knows that it may or may not be the girl in the photo or the girl the OP saw and some people might not mind that. Do punters know exactly what they are going to get at one of the Soho walkups.   :unknown:

Reviews have to be a true reflection of the poster's experience and only he can decide how to rate it. The idea of posting a negative review of a positive experience is misleading to say the least and would undermine the whole review system on here.

Members should read reviews and take from them the information they find useful and act accordingly, they should not be expecting or suggesting others rate their reviews to their standards, a negative point for one will be a positive for another.

I honestly don't know what's so difficult about this, the poster decide the rating without ANY outside influence, members read it and decide if his experience would be positive or negative for them and either book or not.

Why do people want to turn this site into a carbon copy of the failed sites where ratings were dictated by others.

While there will always be blatant B&S profile and always has been they usually get a negative review for walking or going through with a poor punt.
Whenever a discussion comes up for an SP asking for a pic before meeting, or on the seeking threads about profile pictures, there is a resounding no way from punters who do not want their pictures being at risk of being found on the net.

That works both ways, and with even deleted pictures and details able to be found with time machine type sites, those who want to keep the job private and not risk their own pics on the net will use harvested pictures, and it is quite likely a growing trend,

While it is very easy to condemn this as B&S, which technically it is, it seems very clear it is happening more and more and the forum would just be a see of red.

Sure, you can use the they are selling and you are buying argument against it, but for the same reasons punters do not want their pictures on the net some willing to join the trade do not want to either. Choice and supply would be greatly reduced if they did not try with look a like pics.  :unknown:

Posting loads of pics on sites like this probably does not help the cause either, it is a reminder that posting pics do not go away if you delete them and quite likely feeds insecurity about posting real pics, if you posted your pics on a profile of any sort I am sure you would hope they went away if you deleted it.  :unknown:

Actually taking the time to read reviews, maybe ask a few questions and make your own mind up surely makes more sense.

There are shades of B&S.  At one end of the scale are the rotation parlours, where you cannot be sure who you will see on the next visit.  At the other end, are the girls who put up fake photos of someone vaguely resembling her, but you will always see the same girl.  I certainly don't see any issue with giving a positive in the latter kind of case.

As others have said, the OP should make it clear in the review that it was B&S, and preferably early on and not buried in the detail. 

Unfortunately there are many on here who seem to just look at the number of positives a girl has, without bothering to read the actual reviews.  But that can lead to all sorts of false expectations.

Offline billybobsmith

I believe that any B&S that turns out to be half decent or above should get no more than a neutral.
If I'm not getting who I booked with, then you can't effectively review that person.

To me, it's like going into a dealership to buy a BMW Z3, but getting a Fiat Panda for the same price as "they're both cars at the end of the day and they'll get you from A to B". 

If I wanted something random, I would pop to a parlour on a whim and go with anyone.

That also opens up another issue, comments that are near enough to a review posted on someone else's review instead of actually posting a review of their own, they can easily go unnoticed, especially if it's a negative point on a positive review.

Having said that if people are daft enough to book without doing their due diligence and reading all the available information then they can't really complain.

As it seems people just aren't getting it, to reiterate it does not matter what anyone thinks a review rating should be each review is rated by the poster without any outside influence. Everyone is free to rate them as they see fit.

It’s subjective, like most things when it comes to a review.

I had a masseuse who sent me over a picture and she looked great. I got to the place and she was lighter complexion and bustier and sexier than the photo she sent. Did I complain and say “B&S!” No  :sarcastic:

The best B&S I’ve had she was a 8.5 out of 10, would definitely turn my head if I saw her down the street.

Generally I would think most would put a B&S as a neutral. If she was horrible looking and put a deceiving picture out like Beyoncé then that’s a deserved negative for me personally.

Offline PumpDump

I don't think they should be negative. I go to Chinese flats a lot where the girl is usually working for one week from Mon to Sun. If I see her early in the week and write a review then it gives other guys the chance to see her if she is good, or give her a miss if not so good. The review also provides valuable info about the establishment, what the area is like, if they respond well on the phone, parking restrictions, condition of flat, etc. Guys who frequent establishments like this are well aware the girl in the photo is never the girl you meet.

I find that if, ay, I'm in a Heathrow hotel and fancy some fun, I can't access this site on my phone or on wi-fi to do the due diligence.  I can see what's what on AW, but without trying to find a "clean" wi-fi signal at a local Tesco Extra etc., there's no way I can see if who's available that day is good or bad.
Can't really sit down the day before and check 100 different women on the off chance one of them may be working that day (especially when there's a lot of tourers and ones who vanish suddenly).

As for the B&S thing, if you don't see the girl you thought you had booked, it should be a negative in the same way as getting radio silence on the day, or being blown off for whatever reason.
If you see someone else, review them separately, and perhaps link the negative review as a warning.
(Suppose there are exceptions where the place is well known for rotating girls, but you still need to be in the know in be aware of this in the first place)

In ever increasing instances you are getting the person you have booked with, but the advertising is not her actual pictures.

Most will have pictures that exaggerate to some extent, but there has been reviews where the actual is stated to be much better than expected.

Limiting yourself to neutral reviews regardless does not really help other punters, a true reflection of the meet with a warning that pictures are close, not close, better or worse, with a rating pertinent to the actual meet rather than based on the pictures would be more helpful.

Still think it is a growing trend that will keep growing. Like the discussion yesterday on to the point/ harsh sounding profiles, and the need for signs telling us to respect staff, society has changed drastically.
While those of here who post regularly are decent chaps who pay, fuck and go, how many thousands of leeches are there ? We have no idea of how they use the site or respect the privacy of SP,s and info they garner from us or where else they post pictures that are posted here. The Porn thread exposed one.
Everyone likes a level of privacy, SP,s risk exposure to those they do not want to know by using their own pictures, which once posted never go away, which is why I think it will become pretty much the norm for those with something they want to keep secret.

Are people that stupid they can't understand the principle here, it isn't difficult, but I'll go through your points for you so there's no misunderstanding.

Your'e in a place with no wifi - use mobile signal or are you going to tell me you can't get a mobile signal.

If YOU see a different girl to the one you booked then YOU post a review at whatever rating you please. There is no such thing on this site as "it should be a negative". it will be whatever the posted decides.

You can't post a review if you haven't had an agreed booking and reviews can only be for one SP so you can only review the one you saw. You see an advert and make a booking if it's a different girl review that girl but make it clear it was a different one to who you thought you'd booked and rate it as you wish.

Those who insist on telling other members what rating their review should be face being banned, if you must comment say what you think personally not what the OP should do,  but it's far better to respect the posters opinion and make your own judgement based on the information in the review.

Yet again I will say what one person would give a negative for might not bother another, as an example if the negative was for no kissing members who don't kiss escorts wouldn't see that as a negative point and, if other services were ok, would still book.

So should B&S not automatically be classed as a negative?

I personally believe it should - unless you booked a munter a Kristin Scott Thomas turns up.

But that's just a personal opinion and my undertaking when reviewing. When it comes to reading others' reviews, it will always count against the advertised sex-workers proposition, and she'll be discounted from all future consideration - for my purposes. I've had good fun with B&S situations, but I do not seek them, because overwhelmingly, they are an inferior proposition. I've also had good fun flying blind too, and sometimes I do seek those out. So really it's the intention to actively deceive and to most frequently offer poor substitutes that I find objectionable with B&S.

There is the added likelihood that these scumbag handlers are using coercion and controlling tactics too. It's very convenient for a Sergei gangmaster to create a generic EE profile with identikit pics of pale skinny sullen Rom lady attached. When he gets a booking he can then just dip into his harem or roster of slaves and send any single one of them out to fulfil the gig. They know the horny punter isn't going to quibble over a missing tattoo or wrong colour hair and will most likely crack on with booking - heck if she gives him a good enough blowy, he'll even give this mystery slave a green thumbs up on UKP. Great stuff!

I think this talk has highlighted some strong opinions but rules are rules and we are to respect what OPs wish to classify them as.

Stout fellow! - commendable outlook.

Yes, It's entirely possible to have a good experience whilst having been Bait & Switched, but those rare occasions are the minority and it's never done with the intention that we be well-served - (unless the SP has explicitly said, and with good notice -'I'm sorry, I cannot make it today. but if you'd like a replacement, I can suggest x').

UKP management's view is equally fine and well expressed: the ultimate arbiter of an experience must lie with the people who experienced it.

As has been stated many times nearly all the Chinese girl photos on Vivastreet are not the girl who you will see. There are various reasons, unwillingness of the girl to show her face or the flat having a weekly rotation policy so stock photos are used. TBH I rarely use these girls but my rule when I do is that if the girl in the photo is a reasonable likeness and the service was good then I’d give a positive even if there was a technical B&S.

There is another practice which I think is worse than B&S and that is a girl using misleading photos of herself. This isn’t B&S in the normal sense as it will be the girl in the photos you see but maybe 20 years or 5 dress sizes since the pics were taken.

I had a B&S and automatically rated it negative as to me it’s fraud or deception. I went expecting the escort on the profile and it was someone completely different. Not only that but there had been a couple of reviews describing her.

That being said, I liked the look of what I saw and I stayed and had a good time.

Just my opinion but I can’t see how not knowing who you will see can ever be a positive. Unless it is merely an establishment and you know that you will be serviced by whoever is working at the time.

Beats me too, you are going to buy sex and hopefully a good time, if you get it you have had a bloody good result so why the hang up over advertising pictures? 

A positive review, explaining the difference in pictures with a decent description, is far more useful that a negative, which may just be dismissed for being so.

Not everyone is happy to post their own pics on the internet and like some privacy, even hookers, choice and supply would be greatly reduced further if there were not other ways.

I dont think this should be an Automatic one way or the other.

There have been times in the past where a bit of B&S has happened, loaded with Blue pills little brain calling the shots no plan B or C in operation so as long as she isnt an absolute munter the punt has gone ahead with more often than not, good results:)

Yes one or thrice i have walked when its been a blatant rip off, but the issue really is that we don't know who this replacemnt girl is or was, all we can  say is we went to see miss X but saw miss Y and leave it up to the reader to decide what they may, or may not do instaed.

Tho sometimes and it happened recently with Katleia and Sophie in Cambridge where if one was overbooked the other says I'm acting as a stand in. At that point you can I suppose leave then then rate it as a neg. Othertimes when that has happened the other girl as proved to be good and then she deserves a Pos rateing!

As with anything, its subjective. On the surface you would say yes, but if the experience turned out to be great then no. Its all pot luck at the end of the day, some of the photos bear to resemblance to the WG in question for non B&S.
As long as you come away content then no, rate it on the experience, but say it was B&S, or put B&S in the title so people know whats what

Yes I’ve read all the comments. I don’t have to agree with anyone on here, so long as I abide by the rules. As everyone has said, it’s MY review and MY choice.

As for the bollocks car analogy, let’s go with a restaurant. I want Chinese but arrive and it’s an Indian restaurant. I stay to eat as I still like the look of the menu and have a nice meal. But it’s still not what was advertised to start with. I’ve had to make compromises. And back to the car analogy, I wasn’t looking for a shitty Fiat to start with.

As I said before, it’s fraud or deception. And it’s never done for the benefit of the punter but for the benefit of the escort. Often because they’re double booked so palm you off on a workmate, or using a profile that has lots of positives to lure you in, or better photos or different services.

It might work out well (as has been the case once for me) but it often doesn’t, as has also been the case. And my opinion is, it is deception for the benefit of the escort.

Offline billybobsmith

My opinion, and it's just that, is that if I make an agreed booking with say Kimiko, a Japanese girl, yet end up with Big Bertha from Burnley, then my review would be based on the girl I booked and not a subsequent replacement or B&S girl.
Whether I decide to (think with my cock and) stay with an alternate girl, the initially agreed booking wasn't with her.
If I do stay with someone else, then verbally, that's a new booking in my eyes.

If you really want Chinese food and you show up to find only Indian food, you go home and write a bad review. If you quite like the look of the Indian food, stay and eat it, enjoy it, it is unreasonable to write a bad review.

I don't know how many times it has to be said, read the review and take the information that is useful to you and act accordingly. However don't whinge on if you can't be bothered to read the reviews that are posted and decide from the information given if the negative points would be negative for you.

The rating is only the posters opinion of how HE felt the booking went at the time and continual criticism of the reviews posted does nothing to encourage members to post new reviews.

Some people aren't reading and or taking notice of the posts on this thread, Admin has stated it's the OP who decides ratings and I even posted this ↓ yet we still have people telling others what their rating should be.
Stevelondon, PumpDump and  lillythesavage it has fuck all to do with you how another member rates their review.

I don't know how many times it has to be said, read the review and take the information that is useful to you and act accordingly. However don't whinge on if you can't be bothered to read the reviews that are posted and decide from the information given if the negative points would be negative for you.

The rating is only the posters opinion of how HE felt the booking went at the time and continual criticism of the reviews posted does nothing to encourage members to post new reviews.

I couldn’t give a fuck how anyone else rates their punts. Which is what I said in my post.
Or are you once again berating me for something I have said that you have once again misunderstood.
You will be telling me (once again) that you are telling me this as a moderator.

I know your a mod. It says so underneath your handle.

I am happy to offer no more opinions, it is not my intention to lay down the law. But can I please ask why this thread exists if we are not allowed to reply and give our opinions? I am unsure of what rule is being broken. I would understand if this thread was a review and people were replying critising the rating the reviewer gave, but it is a thread opened by Rayray23k asking a question to members. Your clarification would be much appreciated so we can all stay within the allowed boundaries. Thanks.

Stevelondon you questioned the OP's decision to rate it negative then told him to read posts by me on this thread? I have said the same throughout, the poster decides the rating and others should accept that so yes I am missing your point.

.PumpDump twice you've used analogies to question the OP's decision to rate it as negative, that is not offering your opinion it is questioning his.

By all means post what you would do in any given situation but leave others to do the same.  We all have different standards and expectations therefore we all have different opinions. Members should respect the opinions of others however too often that is not the case and reviewers are told by others that their rating is wrong.

Edit

This thread was started to ask if a review should have an automatic rating and the answer was a resounding no, there never has been nor will there ever be an automatic or even a recommended rating yet we are still getting people telling other how they should rate their reviews.

For me it would be an automatic negative for the baiter just because it is a matter of broken trust.

Generally not too happy with the switcher - but would give an appropriate review with the caveat of being involved in a b&S - could be a positive or negative find.

Am I right in thinking originally reviews could only be classed as positive or negative, with neutral being added subsequently?

I've wondered about the possibility of a fourth category of B&S added. Serial B&S profiles could then get reported in the stats and it sidesteps the question of if a review should be an automatic negative or not/

A lot of these B&S profiles aren't generally the same girl time and time again.  Profiles will be rotated, edited, created etc., so unless you're familiar with an address (and really recognise the pictures should they be recycled) at the end of the day, Kamiko could be Destiny, Lourdes, Madonna, Sarah etc. every few days.
