Why does AdultWork allow Pro$$ies to hide their feedback?

[grandmaster-ram-rod]

it seems to me that AW have the upper hand, and that they are happy to dictate how things will be run when it comes to punters.

so why can't/wont they dictate when it comes to Pro$$ies, and take away this funtion, it serves no real purpose and is very annoying when you find a girl you want to see, only to find she has feedback you cant read

its not like the girls have a better place they can choose to advertise, from what i read here  most if not all of us use AW

so come on AW we are customers as well, because without us you have no business, reveal all the feedback, and let us see the good from the bad, as adults we can and will read the feedbacks and make up out own minds

**sorry if this has been discused before**

I think they allow if for both SPs and SSs as some people do get carried away and ut info on there that should not be there.  Also some people seriously abuse the system too.  Look at the guy who had loads of fake feedback left for him by a SP who he refused to accept a RB from.  He was able to hide it until AW investigated the accusations and then removed the offending feedback.
Some girls have had their full names and real addresses put in their feedback so again hiding it until it is removed it a good idea.  However it should only be allowed to be hidden for up to 48hours or so whilst AW remove the offending info and should not allowed to be hidden just to hide lots of feedback only that may well spin a negative light on the person

AW do not give a shit about punters or prossies and at the end of the day care only about their bank balance

Its all very simple in my view. A/W couldnt care less about it so allow WGs to hide it. As long as they are making money off a WG and indeed some punters thats their only interest.

We arent dealing with honest people here, we are dealing with low lifes out to make a profit anyway they can. A/W have proved to my satisfaction that they have NO interest in helping punters.

Actually AW doesn't make any money from pure punters, they make it by charging the girls for PG, movies and webcam so, in theory at least, the girls are the customers, not us.

There is very little crossover between punters and cam viewers so the only place where we give AW money is as above and for RBs or shop items.

There is a strong view on here that AW feedback means very little in lots of cases so why does it matter if it's hidden?  For my part hidden feedback means no booking, simples.

thanks Dani, I agree with the 48 hours

smiths sadly I have to agree with you

not true tey also make money when we look at PGs pre punt, and without us they would only have cam girls advertising, as most of their advertiser do not cam we are important to them

Depends what you mean by pure punters. The fact is as shown on here some punters pay to view WGs PGs which both the WG and A/W financially benefit from unless A/W decide to take ALL the credits off the WG and simply delete her profile as happened to a WG i was punting with some years ago. In her case A/W simply scammed her.

AW feedback is pointless and worthless. Making the system useful and other problems (re verification etc) aree much more important.

To answer the original question - it's open to way too much abuse so allowing it to be hidden reduces the burden on them to fix it when it goes wrong.

i partly agree that aw feedback is useless, but the neg or feedback only quotes can be very usefull in avoiding a bad punt 

[dandaley]

its a useful tool if you use it properly and look at the volume of feedback and at the feedback on the guys who have given feedback to the wgs as said before.

yep just checked punters can too hide feedback.

With you on that. The thing is if the feedback is so bad they feel hiding it is better then you aren't going to beek her anyway - it's just really curiosity.

AW doesn't really lend itself to ebay type transactional feedback. The UKP/PN etc systems work where anyone can leave feedback, reviews, comments for anyone else without having to prove they visited that person. SAAFE & here work especially well because we are both predominantly representing 1 side so we can leave feedback on the other side without fear of revenge feedback.

Ebay used to have proper 2 way feedback but have realised it doesn't work and effectively switched to a system where buyer feedback is worthless/irrelevant so the sellers are the only ones being judged. AW needs a 1 sided system where punters can post any comment on a girl whether they booked her through the system or not. Essentially SP post adverts so they are the ones who need judging.

The problem with punting of course is risk of violence/theft etc. Possibly a system for girls too but I would say it needs to work differently but really AW should probably say bog off and call the police if it's important (or post on SAAFE) else suck it up.

A big flaw in the system of course is authentication. I think SPs should have to pay a nominal fee (say £20-50) for an account but get that in credit. It would massively cut down on B&S, revenge accounts and make it more awkward to reinvent yourself.

Now that's a great idea, but somehow I doubt it will happen. For starters AW will lose the revenue they keep from cancelled PG scammers.
