They can't leave feedback unless you confirm it.
I agree though about the takeaway thing. I just fill out the entire grid as available as I'd have to update it all the time, they generally always message to ask when I'm available anyway

I don't rant, I just send a polite email requesting an introduction and confirmation they wish to go ahead.

They either reply, or they don't, this seems to prevent escalation and accusations of rudeness.

Doesn't mean it's annoying if you've explained this clearly in your profile. Also be aware that the mobile app doesn't automatically open up the main body of your profile - only your summary and contact details, so this can often go unread for this reason.

The way AW is laid out does to some people make it look like that is how to make a booking, on the other side the amount of guys who don't understand you do need to submit a form to leave feedback is also fairly high so I can understand how misleading the whole thing can be. A fair few have emailed me after the booking to ask why I've not left them feedback, often as if I've not bothered. I reply explaining it can only be left if the booking system is used. If someone asks me before the booking I'll then advise on submitting a form.

I am careful with the availability booking screen times nowadays as had guys booking at stupid hours and not even made contact to confirm after id text them to call me back  I just cancelled it  not had any feedback left at all though

After you pay for 'Available Today' you can clear your availability schedule so clients are unable to submit a booking request without contacting you first.

Yep i got some arsey feedback only from a guy who "Travelled down to my general area" despite me not confirming his booking nor even saying a word to him. Just one of those things you've got to put up with with adultwork & think of the positives of the site aka your main source of clientele

Even more annoying are the pillocks who put in a booking request for like 30 mins before they want to see you with no communication!

I am still curious as to why aw allow the system to  let clients leave feedback only? How does this benefit anyone! It is often abused by weird stalker/nasty people too, x

I think the reason they allow it is so that if a client has a booking with an escort and the booking does take place (but the escort doesn't confirm it for whatever reason) they can still leave a comment about the booking. So if the booking was really bad, a client could leave feedback only to warn others even if escort didn't confirm it. Obviously it's a flawed system as some guys do just use it to post nasty comments seemingly for the sake of it
