Early on in my adventures in Utherverse. A picture of myself with my late wife and our shared sub who, actually ended up moving in with us and became her primary caregiver during her last 5 years.

First step for making the WG Program better would be the complete elimination of the Ranking system that exists in the WG Directory. Each WG is an individual that brings their own set of talents to the WG Community. This doesn't, necessarily, make one better than the other, only different. It's like comparing an apple and an orange. Both are fruits, round and taste great but they are very different from each other too as well as there are people that don't like the qualities of an apple or orange and may decide to have a banana or pear instead.
Most people don't, necessarily, know how the rankings are determined when they go to the directory looking for a WG.Visitors: Profile visitors count for the last 30 days. 1 profile view per person per day is what counts towards this total. If you view a WGs directory listing 10 times in a 24 hour period of time, Only 1 view is calculated into the total. How many times a profile is viewed does NOT determine the skill of a WG and serves to give false readings when applied to a ranking system so it shouldn't play a factor in determining ranking. It IS a great tool to help the individual WG to see how much activity their profile is receiving. AVG Reviews: Total Ratings divided by total number of reviews within the last 6 Months. Where there are less than 5 reviews, 2.5 is assigned until a total number of 5 reviews is reached. Reviews are a great way to determine the skills of a WG since they are the views of those who have had dates with them. When applied to ranking it encourages false reviews whether to boost someones score or hurt another. Both cases have happened repeatedly since the system was initiated. Then time has to be spent investigating validity and then removal. Bonus: There will be 200 bonus points each for Age, Gender and Photo verification. For example if a WG only verifies age and sex they would get a bonus of 400 points. This was put in to try and encourage more listed WGs to go through the verification process. It, also, gives the impression that Verified WGs are better than those that don't verify since a fully Verified WG receives 600 points. Just because a WG is Verified doesn't make them better at their profession only that they are more open about their information being available on the internet.What developed were WGs monitoring the directory very closely, watching how quickly others are jumping up the ranks resulting in suspicions of cheating and doing whatever they can to try and prove it. This behavior pattern takes away from focus on just being a WG and tending to the needs and desires of the clients, turning the directory into nothing more than a popularity contest. There was too much concern and worry over who is where in the rankings, time and energy wasted that could have been better spent on just being the best WG they can be.
My recommendation is to eliminate any kind of ranking system and let the WG Directory just be a directory for prospective clients to research and find suitable WGs based on their individual desires.

The purpose was merely to give reasoning behind my decision. If you wish to actually discuss and debate it I would think starting a thread of it's own in the appropriate section would have been the correct thing to do.

I know some may wonder why I may make such a request so I figure I would explain. I've been a Working Guy for nearly 6 years now and have enjoyed my time with receiving awards. I would like to see new talent get recognized and allow them to enjoy the thrill of receiving such recognition. Now this doesn't mean I give my support blindly either. I've taken my time to speak with this gentleman as well as do research so that it is an educated backing rather than just doing it along friend lines and turning it into more of a popularity thing than actually having someone that deserves this recognition. And that is the problem with these awards lately. It's about politics and campaigning rather than research. People voting based on friendships rather than those that really deserve it.
If, by chance, my name will not be removed from the nominee list I will still be putting all my support behind DoctorWho13_SSS and encouraging anyone that I can to vote for him once the event is going and the voting opens. Honestly, from all that I have talked to and encountered, he really is the one that deserves it the most and yes that does include myself and why I am behind him 100% with this.

I would like to withdraw my name from the nominations and put my full support behind DoctorWho13_SSS for Best Male WG of the Year. Thank you

*facepalm* Was that really necessary ? Just saying ? No more necessary than yours. When you speak in an open forum you have to be prepared for comments/criticisms that may result. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and can express such opinion so long as they aren't flaming
