I was browsing my usual twitter feed this morning and you know how twitter work, somebody tweet, another reply or retweet and then eventually you end up on a person's tweet you will disagree strongly. I saw this guy tweet who literally TRASH review board. Even tough his attacks where not targeted at merb (obviously he is from a different part of the world) i looked at his profile and found some pretty nasty stuff.
One of his tweet mentioned "No does not mean convince me" wich i said i agree, in this business you should always respect a provider's boundaries, but i said obviously tough be honest with your clients, if you don't offer a service just tell them you don't offer it (cause BBBJ was mentioned in other replies). Wich is fair game isn't it. I mentioned personally i have no interest to book a provider who don't offer BBBJ/GFE. His reply was " No its not standard and you are disgusting"
Well ok i can understand he may live in a very different place, but i did mentioned "HERE WHERE I LIVE". I started looking at his profile and its nothing but hate toward review boards and how clients used them to just be graphics, put up false reviews to hurt SP's business and so on and on. WOW !
I am not denying some clients can indeed put bad reviews just to hurt somebodies business but usually our crew here is fast enough to spot them and act. Reviews are good for business for both the providers and fellow hobbyist who can get a better idea on who would be better suited for them. Usually reviews reflect well the service of a provider. If she has 12 good reviews and one new dude with 1 post put on a bad review, obviously he will be double/triple checked... But if a provider get constant bad reviews, its obvious there is something wrong about her service. Reviews are not a 100% accurate science, but they do help immensively.
Without reviews, we would go totally blind and i know for a fact i would had experienced many bad meetings.
I can't even imagine how hobbying would be without merb... going blind on websites like BP... hhhuuuuuuuh no :crazy:
