From my perspective the point is being missed.

The reality is this current Top 10 is just a view of a small group of people. If this group has paid for their membership, earned the right, paid their dues or any other perceptive rights is somewhat immaterial.

Btw "Your " was a collective noun for Gold Members in my example.

There must be hundreds of thousands of men who at some point in their life requested the services of lady similar to the ones we find here. There is a minuscule number who are on this site , one of many sites, who register and then who vote. So it's clear the Top 10 simply cannot be a legitmate Top 10. That's not to say the ladies aren't simply unbelievable or provide outstanding service.

Lastly, I mentioned "slow" as a result of your tune changing from "You can just leave if you don't like it" to "Why don't you join in"

In any event there's an opportunity here for several Top.10s to exist, but that's up too the owners to decide which model suits them best. Perhaps paying for Gold Membership might be negated a little if the Top 10 included all votes. My recent GM persusal for a month was to view pictures with greater clarity.

So in conclusion, if your point was to illustrate you felt the Top 10 represented the absolute best - well I still disagree based on my own reasons.

If Basic Membership votes were counted as equal to Gold, then anyone with Internet access can join ESA and maliciously score a wg up or down- then disappear or register another username.

It only costs a paltry R100 for one month's Gold membership.

So if you feel strongly about the service, either good or bad, then R100 is money well spent to vent your spleen or heap praises for good service.

I am astonished that people pay upwards of R600 ph for a wg (outcome not guaranteed) but cannot afford to part with R100( additional features guaranteed).

wow that was a slow comment for someone so astute......

No one is questioning the value of Gold Membership....lol

I've thought about this too when they initiated the current points system, and warned that in time (ie now) this system will prove flawed because of runaway-scorers (who have hundreds of points) against which new listings have no chance of competing.
If I remember correctly ESA has reset (ie nilled) the system once, however the implementation of some sort of moving average would be better I think.
Also, a good review (any) should add a point to a counter, perhaps a separate one, and a bad review should deduct a point there, or list them both: Good reviews 12, Bad reviews 3.
Irrespective of the points total this tells more than a single number...

I'm certain "afford" is entirely the wrong choice of word.

You seem to be under the misconception GMs are the punting Oracle.

Its incredibly simple to make a decision based on one's own intelect without the need to lean on the GM clubs IP.

I'm equally astounded at the sense of self importance.

The fact remains ... The Top 10 is not a Absolute Top 10.

That I don't think should be difficult to understand.

@justonce don't knock it till you've tried it I always say

The benefit of knowing that a sp has been rating highly is a sure indication of potentially a good visit. Things can always swing the other way where you just don't click with the lady but surely she could not be a miserable stuck up B!¥€# without any one of the go,members rating her badly.

I'd rather go with a semi sure thing than flying blind.

Perhaps it is.
The point made is not about affordability.

It's without doubt a Top 10, it just happens to be one bias towards the slither of people who vote it into being.

I rather think you meant "sliver of people".
We are not part of the serpentine species.

Did I?

I hadn't realised that not only were your views considered gospel in punting land but you are able to read minds in addition to your nauseating attempts at grammatical correction.

It's like this is such a part of your world, this hidden virtual land of anonymity that a you'll defend it as if it were real.

The Top 10 is a vote by the few, the very few, the incredibly tiny few. That's what it is.

If it weren't , where is the diverse ethnicity? Where's the geographical vastness? Why do those who grace it's ranks fall swiftly when simply moving from Jhb to CT and suddenly reappear to acclaim while back in Jhb and only while back in Jhb?

I'm any event I'm boring myself now regurgitating the obvious.
