Yeah, I had that happen a few months ago. I asked s few recents to rate back. Try did, problem solved.

I’m just over a month into using the site and ANA clenched hard pretty quickly (despite the help section saying it’s a rare occurrence). Since then, I’ve started mentioning verbally at the end of appointments that I’m fairly new and building my network, so would appreciate their time in rating me.
While I was in ANA’s grip, I would mention that to my provider and that I wouldn’t be able to rate her until she rated me. I also wrote to past providers who hadn’t rated me, so that I could ask (very nicely), remind them that I’d already rated them, and mention that I was under the audit restriction. That worked surprisingly well.
When it came to writing to past providers, I did wait until they posted a new ad so that I wouldn’t intrude on their non-HX time and attention.
Overall it does feel weird, but I go into it giving them the benefit of the doubt and putting in the extra effort to make sure the request doesn’t sound at all accusatory.

I ALWAYS rate the lady , but wait a few days to get rate backs, If nothing heard, I may gently remind them to rate back. But if at the end of 5 days i hear nothing , i just remove my rating.
So the ANA ratio stays close to 1/1.

Just removed the rating for the last person I saw
Also unsubscribed and put note not to see again
If they don’t rate back in 72 hours and they post ads indicating they have been on the site, I remove my rating

from now on i always ask for a rating before i leave - saw a girl, rated her , waited 3 days, texted her about it, she she she would soon. a week passed, i asked again, no response, i took mine off.
had another girl i saw in december take her rating off for me in march , no idea why.
those removed scores hurt me 100x more than my scores being removed from theirs.
its so annoying and stupid - i get the entire picture and idea behind it sure thats fine.
but when youre a level 0 with 7 ratings and cant even bump one inch, well , yknow, the system is stupid. thats just my opinion from this pov and my personal experiences.

When ratings are removed like this, the rating system gets further perverted by less information being directly or indirectly available about a provider. If I don’t know who’s had an experience with a provider, I can’t contact them for insight (which might include that the provider is not good about rating).
Aside from continued follow up, the only other option seems to be lowering the rating by updating the answer to the question about following through with commitments. But that risks retaliation via a negative rating or being put on blast in the blogs or clubs, which probably disproportionately harms a client who hasn’t received many ratings.

Or it prevents you issuing 2x the ratings you have received preventing bullshit.

Let me ask the grand pooh bah. When we meet someone and rate them accordingly but they so not reciprocate should we pull our rating, or leave it so that "people can use the information"?

Sgv you are very close to 1

Sure, bullshit needs to be prevented and I get the rationale about bots, but isn’t there any sort of nuance that goes into it beyond a static formula of “if ratings given are greater than or equal to 2x ratings received, the raters are peddling bullshit”?
Especially when half of the equation is out of our control. Raters shouldn’t alter the incentive structure on their own (tips, promises of repeat business, bad ratings, etc.) because that would violate the terms as well as the purposes of the ratings.
So why couldn’t the audit be made mutual between the raters and ratees, since the ratees behavior contributes to the problem?
Instead of preventing any more reviews, why not put the rater on a “probation” that allows continued limited rating with automatic prompting of any ratee who hasn’t reciprocated yet (avoiding any taint of harassment by the rater).
The prompt could ask the ratee to at least verify they’ve interacted with the rater, if not immediately complete a rating or commit to completing a rating within x period of time.
If the imbalance continues, revealing who’s more likely the problem, then additional restrictions can be implemented. Pausing the rater’s ability to review and/or the ratee’s ability to, for example, refresh a classified ad.

I know personally, my ADHD can get the best of me and I forget to rate if I don't do it immediately. Which there isn't always time for.
I appreciate a gentle reminder within a few hours of meeting about networking or appreciating reciprocation, etc as 70% of the time it acts as my reminder to rate everyone, sadly. Or mentioning it on your way out the door I will be thinking several hours later, "FUCK, I forgot to rate x!"
I don't think it's pushy to ask someone to issue one, but I suppose after multiple attempts they may be giving you a hint? Idk.

Before booking an appointment, count someone’s inbound network vs their outgoing. If there is a large difference, chances are good you’ll be in the same category as everyone else. If receiving returned ratings is important to you, don’t see those people.

I've received 709 ratings versus i have rated 719. I prefer to rate immediately, but thats just what works for me. Otherwise my notes are not fresh in brain.
