Club Reviews - time for improvement?

16 Apr 2006

A while ago, the owners wanted volunteers to do new reviews of swingers clubs. Has any progress been made?
Just had a look at the reviews, and the current facility in in need of a lot of updating. Firstly, I know of one club - Club Sparx which is listed there, despite having been out of business for over a year now.
The most recent review of the Garden of Eden seems to be from Dec 2004. I'm not sure, but didn't this club burn down between then and now?
Other reviews give clues as to when they were written, and these are often similarly out of date. A Review Date on each review would be much better to gain an idea of how current a review is. Also, some form of filtering out of reviews over (say) 6 months old could also be worth considering.
Finally, some people here seem to be "campaigners" for certain clubs. e.g. "One Particular Cpl" who make regular reviews of Xtasia, Surely it's not the purpose of the Reviews to become an individual swingers Blog is it? A restriction of 1 review per member every 3 months might not be a bad idea.
Just some ideas. What other improvements do people think can be made? If the owners are about, when are the improvements to this feature scheduled to happen?

The only thing I would question is the one reveiw per person/couple per 3 months.
As each visit to a club can reveal a different experience, 3 months might be too long especially if something significant changes - but I get the point about repeatedly reviewing the same club.

Another suggestion, ST3V3 kicked out a Review for Club One2One (or something) for allegations of ladies working at the club "accepting payments" (see http://www.swingingheaven.co.uk/swingers-forum/viewtopic/76350.html)
I've long been a supporter of reviews of brothels beiing kept out of the Swinging Clubs section, so fully support this action. Can we also have consistency with this rule? There are at least 2 other "clubs" listed which are used as brothels. (ST3V3 - details available upon request)
Maybe splitting the reviews into "Swinging Clubs", "House Parties" and "Brothels" may be a fairer way forward when the Reviews section gets revamped.

We should all wait for the outcome of the administrators enquirys on tuesday when they resume work before making assumptions.

All reports we receive are taken seriously and we would like to have more club reviews, recently we changed the review submission so that only members of swinging heaven could submit reviews after it became apparent that club owners and well idiots could submit anything anon. So now we have less reviews but probably more accurate reviews.
I don't believe that a brothel category would be something that fits well here, the clubs section is for swinging clubs only.

ther is a revew on the club site from an id we had 3 yrs ago lol

17 Apr 2006

What we are looking to do is this
1. Members can vote on each club once to give it a star rating between 1-5 on a few areas like price, venue,etc, an average rating will then be established (like trip advisor).
2. Clubs will then be listed by rating so the best first and so on
3. SH will conduct an official review on each club with a number of points covered (I am putting something together for this).
4. All clubs will need to modify their descriptions to include opening hours, pricing, (and maybe discounts for SH members?)
5. After this has been done perhaps we give an award at the end of the year for the "UKs best swinging club" as voted by SH members
Any other suggestions?
