We always like to read through other users Shrep when researching users we might or might not be interested in. We know Shrep is far from perfect but this gripe isn't about the machinery and is more about the givers and takers of Shrep.
We are seeing more and more, totally irrelevant and pointless site rep posted that does nothing to illuminate. We know that people use and interpret different facets of the site in all manner of ways but shouldn't the rep facility actually serve as a tool to inform. Much of the site rep left is of the 'great chatting' or 'top couple' variety that neither establishes that it is a real couple or whether they might have seen or met that couple.
Furthermore, we detect sometimes that some are leaving SHrep purely to promote their own dubious credibility. There seems to be plenty, happy to have site rep on their profile from questionable types.
Beyond the issue of whether Shrep is fit for purpose, as has been discussed before many times, do others have problems with a lot of Shrep content?
And don't get us started on the well known promiscuous friend requesting couple who leave the same one word site rep on what seems like every other couples profile!!

Who exactly is the judge of "dubious credibility"? I am sincere about leaving anyone Shrep and appreciate any Shrep I get - what's "dubious"about that??
It is not a cast iron guarantee I know (what is?) but it reflects that some positive contact has been shared and a good impression has been made. If anything I say about anyone can help them along their happy swinging road I am pleased for them.

We are all judges of dubious credibility and we all have particular alarm bells that go off with certain profiles. Predominantly, the suspicious ones are couples and occasionally single fems where a guy might be masquerading as either for kicks or attention.
Yes, positive contact and a good impression is fine but it should verify, as best can, that they are who they purport to be shouldn't it? We find factual is more illuminating than parochial when say entering a correspondence or especially when considering a meet. Too many site reps have words but don't say anything in reality.

But dont you have to be 'friends' with someone to leave shrep on their profile??
I don't place much importance on shrep, but I guess it's a guide to the positive. However if if a member can refuse to disclose anything negative then it loses credibility.
Unless there's a formal way, booking form (for instance) of arranging meets, then there can't really be a way of leaving public messages. Most would prefer meetings are much more discreet, and flexible, therefore that doesn't work.
I suppose it's fair to mention that I don't actually seek to meet anyone from Swinging Heaven for anything other than social reasons.....well of course life models are always welcome.

I have never used shrep or any verification and it has always been disabled on my profiles, I sometimes think I may of liked that person and that situation but others might not, one mans meat is another mans poison as it were.
I would rather people want to meet me because they like my personality or the way I look rather than I met 3 times out of 3 and scored points.
I can probably understand why single guys might like it as a good shrep is definitely the way to show you aren`t a time waster or a picture/phone number/friend collector.
It`s not for me but I am not everyone

shrep is there not as a be all end all.....but useful as a guide. I do think it is a little over complicated at times....and definatly the meet set up thing is a bit of a pain. I think from reading peoples shrep you can get an idea of what they are like.
As a single guy I think SHREP is quite important. It shows you are genuine...you have turned up to places when requested....I would say I place as much, if not more importance, on those that say kind words on shrep but never played sexually, but have met at a party or social.
