Can there ever be a good reason for a WG to hide her AdultWork feedback?

[The Architect]

Thought I'd start a new topic on this in light of the slight altercation I'm having with a member on this thread: https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=30830.125

Can there ever be a good enough reason for a WG to hide her AW feedback?

Personally, I would say no. What do others think? Any hypothetical scenarios where it might be excusable? (In any I can think of, there are always better ways to deal with the problem.)

[new_punter]

A punter mistakenly (or not) puts her real name or other personal info in the FB.

[Tony Montana]

Only if personal information has been posted to the feedback and the WG is waiting for aw to remove it.

[vorian]

ParisB would no doubt say yes and in her case I would tend to agree.

[Dani]

As the others have said if personal info not on the profile has been put in the feedback such as her real name, private phone number or address.  However this would only need to be hidden for a few hours as AW are very quick to remove stuff like this once reported to them (no they don't delete the feedback just the bit of information that shouldn't be there)

Good answers. Yes, I guess in this situation then I could understand it being hidden temporarily for a short while.

A girl I visited put my real name in her positive feedback to me.  I asked AW to remove it, they obliged straight away changing my name to say him instead. 

Some women feel they are stuck with what is said about them and don't bother to complain.

[The President]

In an answer no - if hidden I move on

[wristjob]

This - and I would hope it wouldn't be hidden for long.

Hiding your feedback is the same as bad feedback. To be honest the feedback has to be pretty bad to make hiding it a better option.

I would say there are always people who get things wrong or don't like something no matter how good. I find it bizarre somebody could have 5000 feedback all positive. Allowances will be made for the odd one but hiding it makes it seem worse.

[Rochdull lad]

Well from answers further up, I see now that there can be valid reasons for withholding feedback; but like The President, if it is hidden, then I would normally move on from such a Profile, especially if holding the mouse over the Feedback revealed "Negatives".

To be fair I'd be more concerned with what people here had to say and I don't value AW feedback much.

Can a guy hide his feedback? I saw one girl once a guy gave her -ve cos she cancelled on him. in turn she gave him -ve for being rude or something. Pisstake and she probably put a note saying bad things too. If you are a girl who isn't 100% sure of the job you do then don't take AW bookings.

[Rochdull lad]

Me neither; wristjob; but it's the first stage in the exercise for me - if a girl appears to have hidden negative feedback on AW, then she doesn't make it through to the next stage of the Process, viz. checking for Report on here about her.

No except for the reason others have already posted. However, i dont believe ANY A/W feedback unless i know, trust and/or respect the punter who has given it anyway. A site run by scumbags that benefits a lot of scumbags. Being a pragmatist i still use it as a location tool only as its the best i know of for that.

[virgil]

I would say it has a far worse impact than bad fb, which may be from a 0 fb punter, may be contradicted by other fb etc.

I wonder if those hiding their fb get any punters at all?

I can't see why anyone would see a hidden fb woman.

[domino131]

especially if holding the mouse over the Feedback revealed "Negatives".

I didn't know you could do that!  That's really useful...

[jackdaw]

I didn't know you could do that!  That's really useful...

Yes. And in addition it's always best to assume that so called neutral feedback is actually negative...that very likely only reason it's not negative is that WG has not formally confirmed appointment.

[wristjob]

Me neither; wristjob; but it's the first stage in the exercise for me - if a girl appears to have hidden negative feedback on AW, then she doesn't make it through to the next stage of the Process, viz. checking for Report on here about her.

If it's 1 bad out of 3 then sure. If it's 2/55 - I doubt I'd care. As smiths says any tosser with an email address can get an AW ID and put out any feedback they want. Could be the pimp or the competitor. Here people are 3D and you get a lot more info as to why

[dandaley]

I would be concerned and not book any girl with hidden feedback end of.

Yeh I've seen profiles where they have hundreds of positives and a couple of negatives, in that case I tend to think they're probably fine.  The more feedback someone gets the more likely there is to be some unreasonable tosser who leaves an unfair negative.

[Daffodil]

As others have said, personal data being revealed would be a valid reason to hide feedback, however this should be temporary.

Also I've seen girls post a picture in their gallery of their feedback with the personal data covered up to demonstrate they are still genuine. They could all do this. Not perfect, of course, as they could have edited other feedback too, but a reasonable holding measure.

[richie]

Some punters can get a little obsessed and stalkerish which can lead I some pretty shitty fee back or multiple fake feedback posting from multiple fake accounts in order to coerce the WG.

Can't remember which thread I saw it in but wasn't there a wannabe pimp trying to force WG's to join his group and leaving them shitty FB if they didn't? Some one on here's bounty to have a link to hand....

[CBPaul]

In an answer no - if hidden I move on

+1

This is one of the first things I look at when checking out a profile, quick to just click the fb and if it comes up hidden I hit the back button.

I suppose some may genuine hide fb because of malicious feedback only comments but the vast majority of hiddens that I've seen have little or no fb at all. I assume they are fake profiles with a couple of comments hidden away to that effect.

[ForrestGump]

Here's an example of a girl whose feedback is hidden. But when hovering over it shows she has no negs or disputes. So I can't figure out why she does this. And it's been like this for at least several weeks.

Maybe she hasn't realised it's hidden.

[ForrestGump]

Good point. Quite possible if she's not got her eye on the ball. If that is the case it's a shame that none of her punters let her know about it.

[Rochdull lad]

I'm not sure if that's the case, though.  If you hover over the Feedback box, it reads, "This Member has chosen not to allow their Ratings and Feedback to be viewed."  Which is particularly strange in this case as all the Feedback is positive.

I think this may be different from the AW Field Reports, where the WG has to open a specific screen to show the FRs; and if she doesn't realise it's there, a whole load of FRs can be waiting to be shown.

Perhaps one of the WGs can confirm whether this is the case.

[pierrot]

Personally I would never bother with a hidden feedback profile.
The hover thing doesnt work on an ipad. Which is my principal tool these days, its a chore firing up my desktop for a bit of forum posting and awank browsing.

Yes. If a prossie is being genuinely stalked by some nut job punter, who keeps making phantom bookings to leave negative feedback. I've met a couple where this was the case.

However, I did point out to them that their better course of action was to get the feedback removed, leave it open and make reference to it on their profile. Punters will be able to make their own judgements.

I have met a couple of girls who genuinely appeared to dislike having feedback left but again, they could've sorted this out through blocking the use of their availability diary. Prossies aren't the smartest.

It would have to be somebody pretty special for me to persist these days and I haven't seen one of those in a long time. By and large it's a bad sign and I tend to avoid.

[CoolTiger]

Most of them now that their FB is hidden. AFAIR, the default setting for SP is that FB is shown, so they must have amended it to hide it.

Another reason for hiding Fb of above type is for a fake profile to create 10~15 Positive FBs only in one instant and then hide the FB (thereby suggesting that she has good Fb from loads of punters, and even if the mouse os hovered over the ratings figure, they are all shown to be positive), thereby misleading the punters.

It's amazing how many times some WGs claim that they don't know how to turn the FB display back on!!

As far as I know that only shows the fb count left as positive, neutral or negative, not the 'feedback only' comments which remain hidden. They tend to be more telling as they don't involve the exchanging good fb games and tend to be along the lines of 'time waster', 'fake' etc.

[grandmaster-ram-rod]

I think some girls have partners, and that the partners don't like reading about what they get  up to , so I guess thats their personal choice.

is it a good reason, I don't know, but it's their choice as they will be lumped together with the ones that  hide it because their feedback is crap

This is prossie bollocks. A partner doesn't have to read it, field reports are still there (99% in much greater detail), and there will be reviews here and elsewhere.

My feeling is that you are absolutely correct. Feedback is turned on unless the prossie intentionally turns it off.

In that case they would avoid field reports bbut feedback ??? No as it doesn't give details of what happened during the booking as not enough space.  Also if the guy doesn't want to read it he just doesn't click on it. 
I think the other reasons are more likely.  either a fair bit of feedback only that is not very good or fake feedback so kept hidden

[Daffodil]

I believe this also to be correct, and it's often the 'feedback only' that is most revealing.

[joe diddley]

I know one Hungarian WG who doesn't speak very good English and hid her feedback for some time because she had acquired the profile from another Hungarian WG who had given crap service and had had attracted negative feedback. The purchaser is actually pretty good, has acquired a following and the confidence in her own reputation, and has allowed her feedback to be shown now. One or two of her regulars have told readers not to worry about the early negative feedback for exactly the reason I've outlined. In summary a perfectly good WG might hide her feedback simply because, without the competence in English to make one of her own, she's bought a profile from another with a rather dubious reputation.

[joe diddley]

Not necessarily. Some WGs, perfectly good in every other way, are not together enough to acknowledge the meeting and it is therefore impossible for the punter to do anything other than give feedback. Without an acknowledgement you can't give a positive or negative. Computer says 'no'.

[new_punter]

Good point. Quite possible if she's not got her eye on the ball. If that is the case it's a shame that none of her punters let her know about it.

I did send her a message on AW, asking why it was hidden and pointing out nicely that 31 positives would be a good sign.  Message was read, not reply and feedback still hidden.

Thanks for the follow-up. Safe to assume she knows her f/b is hidden and prefers it to stay that way.

Not sure if it's already been mentioned but another possible explanation for why she'd want that f/b hidden is if she acquired her profile from another sp with a different name which is mentioned in one or more of the messages.

Yup! Just like that JB. 

That f/b sample reads like the V5 document of an old car that's had many previous owners. And it's yet another reason to be sceptical about aw f/b. 

[myothernameis]

If someone on AW wants to hide their feedback, for ever what reason, there should be an option which allows for the feedback to be seen, even if its hidden

My suggestion would be, if your considering booking an escort, but she has 30 odd feedback, but it hidden, for a small fee say around £2, you get to see here feedback, which means you can make an openly decision, on whether to book her

Negative feedback, might include: she offered me bareback sex, I had to leave and asked for my money back, which she dually did

Next thing you know, ALL feedback will be hidden, costing us £2 every time we want to look at it!!

I don't think there should be an option to hide feedback. The only reason I've heard that would justify temporarily blocking access is so that any personally identifiable info can be modified or removed. But that would only require a temporary block of maybe a couple of days tops.

Absolutely, those thieving cunts dont need punters giving them even more ideas of how to get money off punters. Not that i would pay them one pence on principle, low life scumbags.

We should report all the fake/scammer profiles AND those that are being passed on. It's a pain in the arse to do it but if it makes it harder for the pimps all the better.

[Irish]

Being new to the game and not even a member of AW it seems to be clearly geared towards helping the Whores as opposed to being a fair service between Punter/Whore.

The fact a Whore can reply to a neg feedback and that's the end of it s a bit of a joke.

You're off to a great start, it takes some punters years to come to this realisation.

Of course we then benefit by removing fake/scam profiles from any searches we do on AW.
