@switter Just to make my position clear to any switter creators and admins: I very much appreciate everything you have done so far. However, I am 100% not okay with #reviews being allowed here. They are a serious liability for anyone in the US or anyone who ever wants to be able to (or who might need to!) enter the US at any point during their lives - from either side of this business. I will have no choice but to leave switter if reviews are allowed here. #review

@sophiaduvall @switter we are NOT allowing reviews. also, the verification system is currently down while we figure out a better system that does not require photos. this community is FOR WORKERS, not clients. our needs will ALWAYS come first. ๐Ÿ’ ๐Ÿค“ ๐ŸŒŸ ๐ŸŒˆ #themoreyouknow

@omgheatherjana @switter thank you for making that crystal clear - much appreciated! I have been a bit confused about what I saw posted regarding Lola Hunt's potential/forthcoming poll about reviews on this platform.

@sophiaduvall @switter is a community designed by and for sex workers. we will always put our needs ahead of clients'. the possibility of allowing reviews WAS discussed/debated, but the overwhelming consensus seems to be that they're not necessary/wanted. (i personally believe this as well.) we are a community here, debate and discussion is very (VERY!) much encouraged. ๐Ÿ’‹ ๐Ÿ’ ๐ŸŒˆ ๐ŸŒŸ

@omgheatherjana @sophiaduvall @switter I think reviews should be optional. If a provider or client wants to post a review as long as they both agree to it I think it should be ok.

@acepoohbear @sophiaduvall @switter sorry, but i don't really care very much what clients think at this juncture. we are focused primarily on worker needs and wants right now, not clients.

@omgheatherjana @sophiaduvall @switter I disagree. As I stated it should be a up to a client or provider if they want to post something. Never stated it should be done as a client need. Also, dismissing clients in general with everything that is going on is not they way to go either. Clients and providers should work together, not against each other. SMH
