There should be a average price paid field for a providers profile. Could start up simple with just average price for 1 hour. The calculation would be done every time a new review is approved.

... and I don't understand how it would be useful.

For the reasons NYE mentioned and others.

Expecting anything that comes from Chicken Little to make any sense.  

Yes, just as some people should not be allowed to post on the newbie board, some should not be allowed to post on the S&P.

Averages can be used for all types of analysis.  Remember the trend is your friend.  It would also be nice to see a moving average plot.

Following that line does it make sense to even include the price on the review at all.

I've been grandfathered with many providers. Also been given some great rates for multi hour dates. These arrangements are between me and the provider. When it comes to writing the review, I would enter the providers published rates, not the below published rates I receive, if your suggestion was ever adapted.

It should not be taken as the Gospel, but it's helpful to know at least what price range she is in. It's useful for many of us that will exclude women that are too expensive, or conversely "too cheap" Personally if I see a woman with a price of a hundred bucks I most likely will skip right past her, I will usually pass on women who charge over $500 hr as well.

Sorry Chicken Little, but you have years of posting dumb idea after dumb idea and that is one thing I think we can all agree on.
