Holy smokes! Spend at least 10 minutes to qualify to place a review? If you're unsatisfied with the performer, you have to put up with putting in that much time to write a review for others to see. This tactic discourages any honest negative feedback. Every performer under this system would get no reviews or glowing ones. Completely biased!
Maybe that is too long. What do you think the minimum session length should be in order to leave a review?
I have a couple of thoughts:
1) Many users look for reviews/ratings before choosing to invest in a show - a model with a lot of positive reviews is likely to get more business, while a model with few good reviews will get less. I would rather we invest in rewarding good behavior as opposed to looking for ways to be punitive. For example, here in CA, there's a new "law" that requires grocery stores to charge people 10 cents for each store bag they use. Why not give people a credit for NOT using store bags? CA does so many things wrong. But, I digress.
2) If a user tries a model out for a minute and recognizes that she's just not into the session for whatever reason - maybe she's had a bad day, maybe she's tired, maybe her conditioning is not what he expected, etc - he only needs to write to us, describe what happened, and with rare exception, we're refunding that session. Over time, we gather information which helps us to give more pointed feedback to the models in an effort to improve the service.
I have no problem saying that LisaK is an all-time great performer and if we'd had the review system in place during her time on HBC, I'm positive that her reviews would've reflected that, resulting in even more demand for her (even though she was rarely in free!). We understand that not every performer is suited for every customer, but we'd like to put more energy into helping people make "buy" decisions rather than "don't buy" decisions. I hope that makes sense. Nevertheless, I am definitely interested in hearing what you think a fair minimum would be.
