I brought this up on the NYC board and got some positive feedback. Taking a cue from eBay when the reviewer handles are displayed in a provider profile, also list their review count. For example:
anicejohn(71)
smelly(5)
etc.
That way without clicking through to each reviewers list of reviews, you could look over the list of reviewers and get a better picture of the crediblility.
If so desired, this could be a vip-only feature. It could also display review count and whitelist count:
anicejohn(71/5)
This suggestion came up in context of exposing potential shill reviews. You may well see a provider profile with 10 solid reviews, but each "reviewer" may only have one or two reviews.
If you think this is a worthwhile enhancement, please chime in. Thanks.
Unfortunately it looks like your attempt to purchase VIP membership has failed due to your card being declined. Good news is that we have several other payment options that you could try.
We thank you for your purchase!
Membership should be activated shortly. You'll receive notification!
