Honestly, that keenbashers link is not a psychic caller’s review board at all. From reading their lists, I've deduced that Psychics are very, very overly sensitive people. How can they expect a five star all the time anyway? There was one caller that was listed: conniejo42 who was not a basher but left mostly fours. Why is she listed because she didn't leave all fives? No one is perfect, especially not on Keen. I've talked to readers that were rude and abusive too. This exchange goes both ways, and I still left them five stars because they were accurate. I just never called them again because of the treatment. In addition, I am never angry when I call, even if the call sucked afterwards and I am never rude. What good does this do?
I might add that Keen has recently changed their rating scale so that after every 3 months, the negative review falls off the readers’ scoring. It's still there for all to read, but it doesn't show in the feedback summary for the last 90 days. So chalk this up as another protective measure for the reader.
This keenbashers list pretty much says (in between the lines) give us a 5 star rating or else. How ridiculous is that? I've only given two 1 stars since the time I've been a member on Keen. Once, I actually give a five to a reader who was extremely horrible and achingly generic, just to encourage them to improve. The two 1’s I did leave were because I asked one reader two questions and both times she said she didn’t know. I said thank you and hung up. My feedback, rated at a 1 mentioned that if she doesn’t know, then I don’t know why I’m paying her. Oh, she was pissed and sent me a threatening email about being able to perform spells. Why would she really think I’m paying her to not know? Explain this rational to me please? The second 1 was because some reader wanted me to pay her more money to remove negativity from around my dog. Previous to this I’ve gotten a reading from her at least three times and she was fairly accurate so the spell b.s. just really threw me and was the oldest psychic mumbo, jumbo trick in the book.
I read the entire keenbashers article and all the comments. I’d really love a reading from the reader who started the site to see how good she may actually be. She herself stated the site was started to protect readers, but what she and a lot of readers don’t seem to get is that
psychictry (made up word) is not a regulated profession. It is not even looked upon as an actual profession because the scammers outweigh the legitimate gifted, and due to the fact that this industry’s percentage scale is often more wrong than right with outcomes.
One poster: The Spiritual Man, mentions that what ‘we are experiencing on Keen is not done in the real world at all, and we have accepted it without question.’ He goes on to say: Think of restaurants who often get complaints from consumers about the food….they may be overall great restaurants but in no way do they post a sign with each complaint outside of their restaurant – it would hurt and extinguish business. In my opinion it doesn’t always, necessarily hurt their business but makes the business accountable, so they can start running a better business. Guess what, spiritual man? Restaurants are state regulated and get ratings so that the food doesn’t make people sick, hence the same for psychics. I can’t tell you how sick my bank account is for calling psychics. What protects me for making another deceitful call? I’ve been to restaurants where the food was outstanding but the service horrible and it’s still in business today, proving that some negative aspects doesn’t always affect the business negatively.
I've never asked for a refund on Keen, even when I deserved it. The keenbashers site is almost saying, either leave five stars all the time or leave nothing. It almost makes me not want to rate those who really aren't psychic (since Keen doesn't check either) and just avoid them at all cost. I noticed the blogger of the site pretty much glossed over this aspect altogether. She pretty much deflected the fact that there are people who sign up on Keen just to make a buck. I should probably leave Keen altogether and go to a better website.
Finally, there are Keen advisors who leave negative feedback for other readers as well, so wouldn’t this in and of itself, serve as proof that Keen’s bad so called psychics need to be weeded out?
