Screening - a proposal

[$abastian]

I would like to chime in here…*
1. *because I AM new, not screened by P411 or verified by any (verified providers) as a hobbyist. *Which makes this interesting to me.

2. I have put a little thought to the OP.
(That is a good idea by the way.)
And would like to throw MHO out there.

I've quoted a few statements within this thread that I feel are right on point.

Isn't the main reason for screening uncle LE?
Screening also helps with psychos, but the majority of hobbyist are here because we can be financially and I think it would benefit both hobbyist and providers if the providers could instantly know if a guy is not LE because she knows that he has been with other providers and won't have to track down previous providers of the hobbyist, that don't really want to lose "their" hobbyist.

(in a nut shell)

A reference from a provider should be based on a number of factors -- was he clean, did he treat her with respect, did he leave the proper donation, etc

(+++1) also the LE factor.

She needs to know if the guy who wants an appointment is a good guy; that he is not LE, his credentials have not been seized by LE, and that he is not going to hurt her. As a potential client, my job is to give her just enough information to satisfy her fears before she lets some unknown man into her incall.

Well said...

I'm sure P411 does a fine job, but if I don't have a job Gina suggests

I'd like to remind the nervous nellies, that with two solid provider references, you need not give us any private information to become a P411 member

We are only concerned about verifying that you are a legitimate hobbyist.... who you are is none of our concern once we have satisfied that first question.

This is great... But how does one get those referrals without being screened?
Kind of a catch 22.
So in hindsight of all formentioned I think the obvious is that there needs to be a confidence level between the players.
Other than the main 3 or 4 provider "need to knows" about a hobbyist they should not be able to review us or comment on a fictional session that may or may not have occurred.
After all, they are reviewed because they are the ones being paid.

Food for thought...
What if we could implement a check-box tab for each hobbyists profile that only "verified providers" can access.
eg: Was he hygienic [Y] [N]
Donation acceptable [Y] [N]
you get the picture… maybe 3 out of 5 positive = a green light, ok to see status.
Like an eBay feedback status.
Anyway proof we're not LE is the most important info anyway. Right?

Just my thoughts...

Yes, the 2 checkboxes is a good idea. I'd vote for it. But as some others' pointed out, the ladies do not have an incentive to click on those boxes. From the other posts, I am leaning towards P411 now. Regards, - aGM.
