I have noticed a trend across many of the regional review forums. The Fee section has begun morphing from a dollar-amount actually paid to a statement such as "As Advertised".
In my opinion, this degrades the purpose of reviews, which is supposed to be a first-hand account of that one individual session. In addition, if the provider is someone that I may be interested in seeing, it requires several extra steps to acquire or figure out the "advertised" fee. The information that the OP places in the URL / Website field on the review template can vary widely from their ECCIE Showcase, the Ladies personal website. P411 profile to a BP or other ad link. We all know that the ladies donation/fees rate CAN vary widely at different sites, depending upon her individual marketing strategies. I can see it causing confusion for both parties if the required fee is not discussed beforehand. We all know that particular discussion subject is generally loathed by the ladies.
To the owners/mods here....Is there a board requirement to have the actual fee paid listed in a review for PA credit? Should there be?
I have always listed the actual fee that I paid in any review I have ever done. Do you think it is doing a disservice to the lady not to list that rather critical information in your review?
I am interested to hear from both ladies and gentlemen if I am alone in my thinking on this subject. Or am I just being lazy for not wanting to make extra mouse clicks, just to find out that the lady may be way out of my price range, or worse...way under my comfort level?
