Have recently noticed a surge in fake reviews. You can see them from a mile away - normally recently registered profile, very generic description of experience with the lady and often poor broken English.

How does one spot a fake review?

Is there a time limit of a punter to review, or should one be a long standing member to be taken seriously?

So people who can't speak proper english shouldn't review because it will be deemed fake?

Do you know how many punters got banned and came back with new usernames.

"So people who can't speak proper english shouldn't review because it will be deemed fake?"

Then all my reviews are fake .. I only speak English in an emergency or in case of self defence ... lol !!!

Due to my poor command of the English language I have stop doing reviews.

Use technology to route out fake reviews.
For example as a concept off the top of my head:

If the esa platform can link profiles together by means of certain criteria (IP, profiles that are never logged on at the same time, time span of membership, language pattern search, etc)
Get a % out of the criteria and then show the associated profiles as a grouping on the punter/SP's profile.

When they review or post, stamp that % on the left below the poster's name...

Something like that. The data is available. Use it.

English has nothing to do with fake reviews. If ones English is poor then that means one didn't visit the lady? That reasoning holds no water.
The rule stands that you review someone you have visited. English is not one of the requirements

I think this is an interpretation thing Sandon. As the note says below:

English only. In the same way it is rude to speak an unknown language in front of a group of guests, the ESA forum is a public space shared by visitors of different cultures. You are welcome to use any language in Private Messages, but please use the one common language, English, on the forum. Non English posts will be locked or deleted."

In my mind "ESA forum is a public space" is all encompassing and includes all forums including reviews. ESA seems to back this up by stating " You are welcome to use any language in Private Messages". So if this is ESA's ruling then Let's do it.

Re the englisb - I think you are a bit off. I often spot a fake review when the writing style of the reviewer is typical of the lady's writing style
Its not always conclusive, but just saying what I noticed, much like when punters change.names one can very often figure out their previous alias because of what and how they say it.

I only rely on respectable members' reviews...

You lost me @Olivier, l have nothing against ESA English rule, my point is that it doesn't mean my review is fake if my English is poor. Must l not review just because my English is poor?

Ah my apologies Sandon -I misinterpreted the last sentence of your initial post. Perhaps you should have said Fluency in English is not one of the requirements. Have a good evening of punting further.
