Review structure change?

Founder and mongers,greetings form Akron! I was wondering what your opinions are about maybe adding a section to reviews;like a pinned option for bar layout. It seems like almost every review I see there's somone critiquing for the review lacking bar info. It's somewhat annoying because things don't seem to change that much in Akron. Would it be possible to put like a pre filled in box that you can choose to edit or not when filling out the reviews that has the current bar info in it?
I think this would solve 2 problems. Firstly, it would make submitting reviews easier and cleaner to read and should someone be interested in the bar layout they could click a button to get to it specifically. Second only it would really encourage users to write a good bar review that will remain current instead of just trying to breeze through that part.
Let me know what you guys and girls think

What's next, Incog007 asking founder for a tissue for each 5-2 or 4-3 review vote that he gets ?
While it matters if the parking lot is too small or Sam's Club huge, how many floors, privacy in the VIP; it similarly does not matter if the bathrooms are to the left or right, the mainstage is in the back or on the side, etc. I agree that a pinned section is one option. Maybe offer an extra 4 weeks of VIP for submitting an approved drawing of the layout. Many of us here could verify if a layout of Diamond Dolls, Tootsie's, or of the Gold Club is accurate. I would also like to see drink costs, bar offerings, and dancer ethnicity returns to the top.
And before the grouch reappears, of course it’s up to founder to run this site as he pleases and can ignore this thread completely if he wants to. It will be no big deal if that happens and also there is nothing wrong with somebody trying to post something constructive.
The details I personally care about are:
+ a solid description of the dancer *crew* (not just the girl you RILed on your visit and wanna marry) – I would like a description of the dancer-crew’s looks; builds; ages; ethnicities; and if fake-body-parts are dominant; etc
+ prices – dance-price; also mentioning if there are different dance-type prices (floor vs VIP/separate-dance-area; dayshift vs nightshift prices; VIP/extras prices; etc); to the extent the reviewer knows the different prices depending on what he partook in
+ mileage available (air/topless/nude dances? Extras availability; etc)
For me any additional info is nice to have to better get a gauge of a club but not a must-have.
There are some on TUSCL that feel having to give the basic-info above is “repetitive” and doesn’t need to be stated in every review; but I feel differently b/c:
+ IMO a review should be written from the POV of someone who’s never been to the particular club (some TUSCLers have been reading reviews of the same club(s) for years and thus assume that “everyone already knows that info"
+ another common excuse of the “never detailers” is “hey the price of dances have been given in previous reviews so it’s known” – as I’ve posted in the past, a reviewer should not have to go fishing for basic club info and hope he lands on a review that has it (this is more of a PITA when one is visiting an unfamiliar area and researching multiple clubs) – and the old “hey look at previous reviews for details” can become the default where 9 out of 10 reviews use this making details even harder to find
I think certain details that can be considered “repetitive” should be hidden under a tab where one only sees it if expanding/clicking-on the tab/field – i.e. club info like (parking; cover-charge; dance-prices; VIP prices; etc) can be put in one hidden-field; and then layout details under a different hidden-tab – w/ the visit details (which includes dancer info, mileage-available, and maybe prices if not given in the club-info hidden-section) being displayed vs hidden – the hidden “club details” and “club layout details” would need to be filled in b/f allowing a review to be submitted – the info in the hidden-sections would not need to be super-detailed and perhaps have a message asking the reviewer to at least add some basic-info in those sections.
Again, I just don't see this as an issue when submitting, evaluating, or reading a review. I have 2 suggestions for you.
1) If you don't want to spend 30 to 60 seconds to write certain info or see some downvotes on your submitted reviews (you do have several), just purchase VIP membership. 6 to 12 extra minutes of your time per year just might be worth it.
2) If you don't want to read certain things, scroll works very nicely. Oh, I forgot, some people don't know how to paragraph.(Hint- hit the "Enter" key.) Maybe have founder install an app that will do the paragraphing for you.
I’m fine with the existing jury system to reject poor reviews. Some bad ones still slip through, but much less than when it was just founder by himself trying to approve 50 reviews a day pre coronageddon. Maybe founder makes the jury requirement to approve a review 5-2 or 5-3 instead of 4-3 to make it a little harder, but that’s just a tweak.
Kinda like the VALUE a button now. The value rating is losing its meaning and usefulness because some guys assume a high number means beer is $2 and no cover while other guys use it to denote a $200 bj is available, thus the $40 cover and $15 beer is “worth it”.
If a review provides some information of value based on the reviewers experience, I'll upvote it. This whole kick about encyclopedic recall of club minutiae for reviewers to prove they were there is a little much from my perspective, as is listing every chick in the club because I'm going to make my own mind up anyway. Things that were particularly good or bad about the place, and best/worst chicks are what I'm looking for in the reviews if I'm deciding to visit or not.
It is good to have a general idea of a club's layout especially when visiting it for the first time. Parking, location and type of VIP's, seating, multiple bar areas and restrooms are all things I don't mind hearing about. Clubs do make physical changes and it is helpful to inform the rest of us when they do.
I remember the time I mentioned the single hat restroom behind the upstairs bar at the Flight Club (no attendant, locking door) and at least 3-4 Tusclers got back to me with a thanks as they did not know it existed... It was added in a few years back but, was not always there.
As far hyper analyzing reviews for what the author did or did not report on I have a much more lenient perspective there. We all have different writing styles, abilities and moods when creating a review and I try not to bash other members by holding them to some type of "review checklist".
