The thing with the whole white knighting scenario that nobody has mentioned is sometimes things just don't feel right with what people have said in their review. Even if you have never seen the girl. It just doesn't feel right what was said.
Lots of good sensible comments on this, I totally agree with Anth's comments above, having been on here a while now you can really feel when something isn't right and if you have seen the girl then you want to challenge this as we are all expecting reviews to be a fair and accurate summary of the punt.
I think one of the biggest problems is that we actually meet the girls, so get to talk to them (OK not much maybe) and form an opinion of what they are like as a person. Where as we never actually meet any of our fellow punters on here, so really don;t know what each other are like in person. If we met down the pub then we would know who the bullshitters are and who gives genuine good advice and act accordingly. Over a period of time, I would like to think we do form an opinion of who to trust, but anyone new wouldn;t know that.
The other big issue that's not been raised is that negative or positive reviews on here can actually directly affect the earnings of a WG. No bad thing if they are rubbish, but equally not good if they are a generally well respect good WG who the vast majority of people who have seen her reckon gives good or great service. We don't to see them put out of business, as we want to be able to keep seeing them, hence why they get defended.
You might have noticed I have a particular hate of people signing up and having an immediate go at a WG, then so often vanishing never to be seen again, often ending up being proved to have been another WG or Agency just trying to give bad press. I do think I when this is proved that we should be able to delete that bad review or topic so that it cannot be found in the search.
