Coed reviews, would you post your reviews in coed?

[Samcro84]

I think we as review writers should have choice as to put it in Co-Ed.

This seems like an interesting idea. I don't really see what value it would bring, but I also don't see that it would harm anyone if someone chose to post their description of a session in COED. (Assuming people aren't shitty. Yes, I know that assumption is sometimes a stretch.) What is even more interesting is the adamant arguments against it.

Judging by the wall of ads I see on this page, I don't think premium memberships are the only source of income. Like all businesses from which I get services, I hope this site makes enough money to remain available. Past that, I am not concerned about increasing the amount of profits.

I'm with you on this one. Because the review section is the part that provides the most value to users/me, I would hope any reviews posted in COED would also be posted in the Review section to make them easily accessible through the exiting 'Reviews' sections of Showcases. But then again, no one owes me a review. A hobbyist choosing not to write a review and choosing to post one in COED are of equal (non)value to me.

This is a pretty empty argument. There are many things that I like and use but that could be improved. Just because something ain't perfect I don't quit using a serviceable product.

I don't really know the answer to this question. I also don't know why anyone would be upset with where someone else chooses to post information. I don't think anyone is suggesting controlling another person's posts, moving another person's information.

While I don't see a great benefit to posting a review in COED, none of these arguments persuade me that would be harm in it. There might be fireworks and accusations and silly arguments against it like these and just general shittiness. But nothing that would hurt anyone who wasn't involved.

Possible reasons for wanting this:
*to compare perceptions from both (in good humor)
*to tell of a particularly wild and memorable experience
*to tell of a blooper (in good humor)
*to show off one’s writing chops
*to raise the bar for review writing and/or sessions

Reasons not to:
*butt-hurt
*salty
*BSC
*ThreADs

All good points.

I would add that a coed review would be consensual and ok with the provider, at least I would not post one here with out it!

Im ok with it
What's the difference from a co-ed review vs Locker room reviews when it comes to the PA argument?

He only speaks for himself.

And overall, what Whispers hasn't pointed out (probably because it would blow holes in his argument) is that it would increase post count. Which, to him, equates to $$$.
