Reviews are great business boosters for fems starting out either in providing and/or starting out on this (or other) boards. It's a great way for them to get established, free advertising as well as it let's other potential clientele know what to expect (TCB/screening, physically, and BCD).
While there is not one complete answer, everything stated thus far is accurate depending on the provider. However, reviews are necessary for me to see a provider and I don't normally see newbies ("welcome" area providers) - too much that can and does go wrong. Even if they are on P411, if they don't have reviews, I don't see them. I don't have the time to waste.
In the end, it's up to the hobbyist to do due diligence/search and research. And, it's critical to learn how to "read" reviews (read between the lines, and don't ignore the obvious). For example, If she has a "bad attitude" in prior reviews, why would you expect differently?
Last thing, if a provider has a single "NO" review, I DON'T see her. I read the reviews to see why, but 9/10 a "NO" is an absolute "NO" for me.
