What my ratings are.  I hope they're good.

because they can't compete with P411 and RS2000 as a verification site.

In the real world Experian will sell my FICO score to the banks but not give me access to it and rather try to sell my their shitty Vantage Plus score which is not the same. Looks like we have the same situation here equals me not do business with them.

Last time I visited date-check a couple weeks ago, their home page for my city was full of outdated/retired providers and hasn't been updated in years. Tells you how far behind the curve they are.

Another problem I have is this, such a policy allows a provider to protect her client base by giving negative recommendations for clients she doesn't want to have visit other providers. That is the dirty part of this business with providers across the whole spectrum. They will avoid or give a negative ok / recommendation / reference to these services / other providers because they don't want to have a good client visit another provider thus protecting their income by having him visit them only. It happens!

On Date-Check I apply Highly Recommended if a client is exceptional i.e. just pure joy to be with, an unusually extravagant tipper, someone who always books multiple hours and is truly a pleasure, etc.
A High Recommendation to me is for a client that I would recommend to my very best friend enthusiastically -OR- a brand new provider on her very first day as her very first client.

I give recommended for any client that I have seen who did not present any difficulties or exhibit any questionable behaviors towards me.

When I see either of those recommendations that is perfectly fine for me, no questions asked...and I would say most profiles I see are filled with these opinions.  Providers aren't going around all half cocked issuing bad references on Date-Check.

When I see other ratings...YMMV, DNS, NC/NS I follow up with the provider who issued that comment via email as well as the most recent positive reference just to get her thoughts.
A lot of times negative ratings are very clearly isolated incidents.  

With all of that being said I prefer Preferred411 to all verification services currently.
The interface is cleaner and less quirky than Date-Check and I like the fact that I can see the providers issuing the referrals unlike RSK2000.
When a client gives me P411 that is really tops in my book.

Date-Check also has practices I don't care for.

When a longterm client began pressuring me for certain things and generally turned bad I removed all of my online referrals for him (as I always do when I can no longer recommend a client- I never want some girl in the future emailing me and saying 'I trusted you' why do you recommend this client who is not a nice guy).
Date-Check is the only service that brought the fucking drama.  They were like "well we're going to tell the client you're removing your name from his list" (despite the fact that he has probably 30-40 other recommends).  I had to explain to them that that would cause unnecessary drama and blowback and potentially danger for me.

At P411 they do everything very discreetly and in the interest of the hobbyist and provider.  They're not letting either party pull shit on the other- they will ban girls for not giving referrals to clients they met successfully but are  denying over reviews and they will ban clients who mistreat providers.

Do not worry about the reqs on Date-Check though if you are a good client.  I seriously have never seen an abuse of those ratings in terms of girls giving negative referrals.  
The negative referral I've personally seen most is "NC/NS" for people who book appts and don't show and often clients like this will have SEVERAL of these notices on their profile and then its clear this is a pattern of their behavior.  Sometimes they show, sometimes they don't and they just don't care.

I cancelled long ago over this and other bullshit business practices. P411 is worlds better.

that give info other than if a guy is safe or not.

One popular provider gave me a reference years ago that said the guy was "ok but strange". I've been seeing this same guy regularly for the past five years. He's far from strange to me (aside for his taste in ruffle lingerie  . So as long as the guy is recommended, it really doesn't matter how much the lady recommends him to a lot of ladies. I wouldn't stress it. Another woman's subjective recommendation isn't the end all be all. All that matters is if you're SAFE to lots of escorts.

date-check ratings

I provider friend let me see my DC reviews once.  I had mostly highly recommend and a few recommend out of 14 total at the time, but I had 1 YMMV.  The lady that gave me the YMMV saw me twice AFTER the poor review.  I THOUGHT that we got along well and enjoyed each other's company.
I sent her a polite email asking why she did not just decline future meetings if she felt that way, and that I understood her feelings.  I also told her that I wouldn't bother her again.  She replied that her handler had "made a mistake" - she has since taken that review down.
I guess, for her, we just didn't click (BTW, I gave her an excellent review that has not been changed) but I think it only fair to be upfront about it.  I am not sure whether her rating impeded my hobbying or not.
I now periodically check DC (nothing bad since the one in the past 6 months). Names have been changed to protect the innocent and no so . . .
