No, but it sure has helped me to avoid them..

and I would rather not be in a position to give a higher score just to keep them quiet.
Why even put yourself in that predicament?

I always thought actively posting would HELP me get a review!

Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes

Guys that trade on their board personas are easy graders. 9s and 10s abound. Give a lady a 7 and she tries to say your were a problem. I never trade my name or even tell them anymore. It's not worth it and it does the men a disservice.

Who wants to be the one client who says that the popular provider wasn't really that attractive to him?
Not that many clients who are active posters (guys who don't participate in the boards couldn't care less and assign whatever mark they want).

Who wants to be the one client who couldn't get a top-notch performance out of the provider that everyone says is a wildcat in bed?  Not that many clients who are active reviewers (ego.  Thankfully there are some who can keep it real and say "she's a fantastic person, but not for me).

Momentum and popularity account for a lot of profiles with nothing but high scores; I hate it because there is nothing worse than meeting someone with unrealistic expectations drawn from reviews but the hype keeps me paid and as busy as I'd like to be.

can I flip the coin...and ask this...

as a provider...I don't read my reviews and I don't keep score..the reason being...I don't want to put undo stress in what is meant to be Pleasurable and Fun...however I have been asked by a few gentlemen to see them...and they Will point blank state...I Will be reviewing You..lol...so I simply decline them...because to me it does Not seem like they are in it for the Fun...but they are in it to be Judge and Jury...Am I wrong in thinking this...and as far as your question...the review should simply be based on the perseption of the hobbyist and what happened within those 4 walls during there time together...nothing more and nothing less...

I am attracted to good communicators. Good conversation definitely improves the quality for a sexual experience for me. If a lady has a positive board presence and writes well, my interest in her goes up. For the most part, this approach has paid off well in my experience. I only remember two times when I was disappointed. In one case, I could not get the lady to shut up in bed! I put this in the review (elsewhere) and got a chewing out for it. So what? The other time, the lady's reviews were outrageously inflated, IMHO, and the session was a disappointment on several grounds. Otherwise, I like ladies who communicate well, and the best chance I have to see their skills are these boards.

I think it can.  As I have become more experienced, I would have certainly stuck to my guns on some piss poor performances.  
I am more comfortable with providers who I chat with on the boards...  increasing the likelihood of an appointment with her.  
I do not look at the numbers linked to a descriptor...  I assign the descriptor to the experience that fits for me.  I don't high score but then I do not post under my review name & the ladies do not link my posting name.

Was in that situation, I chose not to review for fear of retribution. Well reviewed provider all 9's. I have been very lucky until this one time. I had booked several hours and wanted to leave shortly after arrival.

1- Communication is somewhat important to men which is a good thing but I've never thought about board etiquette to be woven into a review. I think the idea is refreshing though!

2-  If I were a hobbyist and I saw so many posts by the same provider over and over again especially if she attacked others ,I probably would not take interest however, if her topics were good interesting reads, then I think it would pre rate her as to who she is in person. Quite similar to the " pictures being fair representation of her" board posts defining her and see if in person she matches up. Another refreshing idea !

I do feel men should observe a woman by her board posts and are either drawn to her or withdrawn from her.I don't know about men getting burned
but I think any smart businessman will not feed into following the reviewer, having to inflate a review to avoid drama unless he is passive.

and my after-the-fact reviews covered a preditable range, from a low of 6/5 to a couple 7/8's & 8/8's and an utterly amazing 9/10. No real surprises.
