Summary
==Summary==
Include in your review ('''LLLLLLL&S'''):
''* Provider's NAME plus LOCATION in the subject field.'' Generally give the nearest town. Specifically for London, give the closest tube/train station and first part of the post code (and . Add agency/parlour as an option)if appropriate.
'''* Link; Their AW profile link or contact details at the start of the review. Best to cut and paste the link from bottom of the providers AW page.'''
'''* Logistics; booking and communication.'''
'''* Services used and the price paid (detailing time and extras charged). Mention enthusiasm, attitude, time keeping.'''
 
''* Good practice to post a picture'' (if available.)
<br />
 
== Where to post ==
* Post in the regional review board where the punt took place.
* How? Open the regional review board. Press 'NEW REVIEW' (top right)
== Introduction ==
===Subject===
The two essential elements to include in the subject of your review are (i) the WG's name, and (ii) the location. Many providers have similar names so cut and paste the ''precise'' profile name into the subject field for your review. For location, as a general rule include the nearest town. Specifically in For London, use the closest rail or underground station together with the first three or four letters characters '''only''' of the WGEscort's postcode. If from an agency, include the agency name as a third item. Also indicate in the subject field if your review is of a transsexual using the acronym TS. Do NOT add rating type comments. The subject of the review should '''only''' have (1) Escort Name (2) Location (3) Agency name (if there is one). It may also include 'b&s', 'TS' and/or 'toftt' label if appropriate. There are no abbreviations of establishments in the subject of a review.
===Overall Rating===
Give a '''negative''' rating as a warning to other punters about the provider. There is a range of opinion about how you should treat dishonesty, misrepresented services, fake pictures and poor value in terms of the overall rating. In these instances, pointing out how you arrived at your rating will leave the punter better informed about whether they want to visit.
 
It should go without saying that if you just choose never to repeat that you should give a positive to an escort that is worth a repeat if you did such things. The words on this page are meant to be helpful not restrictive.
===Logistics===
===Service===
# Describe the services you used and the price you paid. Specify extras(including e.g. taxi for outcall). Please detail any variations from the services and prices advertised. If services were not as agreed, describe your qualification what happened and contracting what was agreed before the punt. This will help other punters differentiate understand whether the profile is accurate, if she is honest through the process of contracting and whether she delivers as agreed in the room.
# Comment on the WG's management of time. In particular; did the session start promptly, how long did you spend with her, how much of this was "action," did you have her undivided attention for the session, and how did she indicate the end of your time?
#Aim for balance and include aspects that could either deter or attract other punters. Be aware that OWO (among others) is key services for many punters and comment whether services were provided as advertised (or confirmed). Likewise, comment if the SP is discernibly a smoker or on any marked variations from the physical impression in the profile (age and size).
# Review rather than advertise. Write a review in order to allow other punters to make an informed choice about whether they want to visit the WG, rather than in order to “promote” the girl because you think “she deserves it”. This is the most common mistake and there is nothing worse than a punter who assumes the role of a prostitute’s an escort’s forum pimp. You are free to post your own review for your own experience. Do not reference other reviewers reviews to ''defend'' your position or post a review to [[White Knight|white knight]] an escort.[http://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=122177.0;topicseen#msg485397 (example)]. Note the following forum rule. "No touting or advertising. You must disclose any link you have that may be seen as bias, even if you're just a past customer. Sharing info must be for the benefit of other punters and not to promote the business of others. Reviews that read like a marketing-written advert rather than genuine recommendation will be removed."
# Do not blame other reviewers for misleading you about a punt due to their previous positive feedback about the girl. It is best practice not to refer to previous reviews at all. If you have reason to believe that the feedback they had given was fake, this is best discussed on their review. Have the following analogy in mind: Visiting an escort is like being a tourist visiting a certain place - a review is like taking one picture of the location. The usefulness of that picture (to others who consider visiting the same place) depends on the quality of the picture but, it is still one picture taken at a particular date and time. If something changes, it is not the fault of the previous reviewers. Many escorts have both positive and negative reviews - it does not mean one is right and one is wrong. If you are seeking guarantees in punting, then punting is not for you.
# It can be helpful to point out areas of distinctive or outstanding service from a WG for readers whose tastes may be similar to your own. Particularly point out "nice surprises".
#Try to be objective and factual. Avoid hyperbole; use superlatives sparingly. 'I found her attractive' is factual. 'She is the best looking girl in Birmingham' is not. Remember you can be as [[Fluffies|fluffy]] as you wish DURING the meeting but do not come across as delusional no matter how good the GFE illusion provided by the WG had been. While there is not full agreement, many UKP members look for balance in a review. You can write a Positive review without the mindset of recommending. You are simply stating what happened to you. It could be the most positive punt you have ever had, but the neutral mindset (without the word 'recommend') may help you write a good review.
# Be cautious in using rating scales. If you review multiple girls, others may see a pattern and see whether they can relate to your taste, etc. So it is important to be consistent. If, for example, you are using some sort of rating system then whatever the numerical scale you use, make sure the scores you award to different girls are such that the difference in the values somehow reflect the difference between the reviewed girls for that specific attribute (e.g. looks). Giving everyone 10/10 or the same score unless truly great or really equal defeats the purpose of having a scale.
# Note the following forum rule 4 on re-reviews: "A new review thread can only be created once a service provider an escort has agreed to a booking. A meet does not need to take place, and money does not need to change hands. The only criteria are is that she had accepted the initial booking. Members can post more than one review about an SP, but touting will result in a ban. Reviews are allowed up to 6 months (for new members, this rule is currently relaxed to 12 months) after the event(positive or negative). Only one sex worker can be the subject of a review, not a whole agency/establishment/ brothel. The exception is sex parties, duos etc. and massage establishments where providers do not have names."# Do not use derogatory descriptions of the escort like she was fat or ugly (beauty is in the eye of the beholder). Remember the SP may be reading the review and comments can be hurtful and being an escort can be a lonely and mentally and physically demanding job. Do not to add to someone's challenges by being nasty. You can say you didn't enjoy it without being nasty. Nasty comments is one of the reasons escorts don't like UKP. It's in all our interests to be respectful to escorts just we like escorts to be respectful to us.# Do not share personal details that escorts may share with you in private conversations like if they're married, have kids, where they're from, their opinions on their place of work etc. Sharing this information can cause escorts problems. Discretion is important both ways, so respect the escorts privacy just as you would expect them to respect yours.
# Many members like to end with a summary of positives and negatives.
# ''What happened next is private.'' Say what you want to say, and leave out what you need to leave out to protect your privacy. If you can't write in simple terms what happened, then don't write a review.
# ''She is a real gem and I want to keep her for myself.'' There is nothing factual here.
# ''Treat her well / with respect''. As if the readers were going to treat her poorly but since you wrote this, now they wont? Please provide facts, not instructions.
#''See her while you can. You will not be disappointed''. You don't know what other punters want. You don't know what service she will provide next time. This is not reviewing your punt, these are words of a pimp.
#''She is so good she should raise her prices'' You do not know an escort's business model, you are a punter. Raising prices might not help her. Also, UKP represents the interests of punters and any statement that encourages price rises is counter to the principles of the board.
#''Thanks Ms Escort, I had a great time''. The review area is for you to provide factual guidance to other punters, not to send messages to escorts.
# ''This is my first review, be gentle.'' We can see it it is your first review. We will give feedback to your review ... you don't write it to be ignored. And if we don't tell you things now, how will you improve? We are always gentle ... it is only pixels.
# ''If you can't afford Elite Escorts at this price point, then don't comment.'' Just review per the guidelines. If others want to mention that you paid too much, they can. No need to be defensive in advance.
# ''Well reviewed lady so won't be going into tons of detail''. Just write a basic but complete review, don't make excuses. You should not make the reader look at all the other reviews to get the basics - a complete review only takes a few sentences anyway.
