Here is a link to a review of new verified provider Obabie posted in "other reviews"

My concern, expressed in the thread is that for some reason or other, some new gals sometimes have their reviews relegated to "other reviews" when they meet all the criteria to be placed in "independent provider" reviews.
I think that being in "other reviews" as opposed to "independent provider reviews" can hurt a gal.
For example, when I'm shopping for new strange, or looking for a new gal to put up with nasty flinde shit, I browse "independent provider reviews" and I conduct appropriate Boolean string word searches of independent providers utilizing the search feature.
When looking for new strange, I dont search San Antonio generally, and I dont search "other reviews". Heck, for years I never even read "other reviews", but do now sometimes with the influx of sub $030 clean low volume mocostrange.
I'm guessing "other reviews" has many less page views than "independent providers". At least by me. So, a review posted there is less likely to be read by a potential ho monger shopping for soul deadening, hollow, cheap, unfulfilling sex for pay. Which can potentially hurt a gal playing by all the "independent provider" rules here and spreading her legs to feed herself and her family.
Plus, "independent providers" has a cachet - an undefinable certain savoir-faire (excuse my french) that is lacking among the Guadalupe and Picoso inhabitants of "other reviews". Independent Provider Reviews is "Pretty Woman". Other reviews is "Taxi Driver".
When I commented about this in the above linked review, my esteemed colleague hookworm begged to disagree, stating that "Under .8 stays here. She is too cheap for an indy. DAM good review, btw."
Excuse me, but with all due respect, what the fuck??? By my venerable colleague hookworm's rule, every porn star super star charging $500 an hour that I schmooze with that patented flinde charm and wit and talk into blowing me for $060 should have their reviews relegated to "other reviews".
Additionally, there are plenty of young and dumbasses who hit Presa and pay more than 080 and post reviews that rightfully belong in "other reviews".
Independent Providers is filled with sub 80 reviews. And it should be if the reviews meet "independent review" criteria.
So, I guess I'm wanting a discussion, with mod participation, of the criteria for placing a review in "independent reviews" v "other reviews". Yea, I know the criteria have been spelled out, big as life, buts its these additional "rules" that crop up like this 80 or less rule that needs discussed.
