I am, and have been for many years, seriously considering adding "small comments" to the Okays. It would create many issues though, and my ideas to address those issues aren't popular with everyone. So I've held off, just to save myself the headache really.
I think if I were Gina, I might implement something similar for P411 but have it only show as "OK," without the grade, when the guys viewed their vouches.
Sure, I could make it so the client can't see the comments.... but how would I stop providers from showing a client their comments? Truly, it would be a losing battle and I'm not up for the fight, so I would just allow the client to see his comments.
I'm a firm believer that letting a person know that their behavior is needs to change is far more productive than talking about a person behind their back. I mean, most guys will start taking a shower if they KNOW they stink.... but if no one mentions anything, they will just assume there's no problem.
Also, I would allow clients to answer the comments with a few words, since I know that some people love to start shit with other people for little or no reason, and I believe that everyone should have a chance to answer accusations against them.
I would limit comments and answers to a very small amount of text, to prevent flaming.... AND I would use the comments as a way to determine who maybe isn't a good fit for P411. Anyone who is unable to conduct themselves in a respectful manner when it comes to the comments and answers, would no longer be welcome on P411.... as well as anyone who has more than a small handful of negative comments.
The other thing is I would also allow clients to give providers an Okay with small comments (and answers). I wouldn't have it one sided, both sides of the equation have a right to know when there is a problem imo.... and providers create just as much trouble in the community, if not more.
So ladies who NC/NS could be marked as such by everyone they do it to... with the opportunity to answer the accusations.
So, as you can see it's really not that cut and dried. There would be quite a bit more put into it, and it wouldn't be totally provider-centric. My focus is on the community, as a whole.
The only reason I can think of that a provider in Texas does not have a P-411 account is that at one time they worked for PC and when they left PC they never sent Gina her money.
Correct.
However, I will set up a Locked account for former PC providers who have an open balance, so they can still check out clients but not appear on the site (and benefit from the free advertising).
I'm also cool with a $10/wk or whatever payment plan. Hint hint to anyone out there who still owes PC money.
Always,
Gina
