This is a new one for me. I searched the FAQ board and the main discussion board for that phrase going back 9000 days and this has never been discussed before.

So exactly what does "Not objective" mean? Does this imply I have a bias? I read through the review three more times and it looked pretty balanced to me. Also, it was a new provider for TER so why would it be rejected?

In fact, I did a text search through the review guidelines and there is no occurance of the word objective.

Any thoughts or opinions would be welcome.

To quote the review standards.."Remember, your opinion matters!"

Beverly Fisher given my handle.  Objectivity is often a chimera.  Lots of differing view points are the best way of achieving objectivity.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
If you speculate on something about the provider that we cannot verify, such as she seemed to be high on drugs, was drunk, diseased, or some other supposition, your review will be rejected on that basis. Your review will also be turned down for using foul language. Even if you have been ripped off, please try to keep the tone of your review at a mature, fair level.

I posted once a very interesting anecdote invloving bebedoll... not a review, just a funny story..  I believe it was rejected only because I used the alias 'BeBeDolls Man Slut'.  However I never actuallty inquired.

my username. Thanks.

Also, as far as being balanced and fair. It was a positive review. I gave her 8,8 which I believe was accurate.

I have to admit, I find the TER criteria somewhat eratic. There was one review I submitted last year and it was rejected, each time for a different reason. First it was not enough detail, then it was wrong website (I used the website in her profile). In the end I just gave up. I even e-mailed support asking why. I was quoted the regulations about provider websites. Then two months later, a reviewer posted a review with the same data and it was accepted. IMHO, it looked like there was some bias on the part of TER. But I can't explain why.

What irks me is that I post reviews for the purposes of contributing to the hobby community. I've got over 370 days in the membership bank because I pay for the service. In fact, I was 190 days into the membership bank when I learned that there even was such a thing. I subscribe to the service as a service, not because I'm looking to maintain a membership.

All in all, I sometimes feel the customer service here can be lacking. As an example, it took staff over 20 days to respond to one of my support questions. I had to send it in three times and eventually sent it to the support e-mail address.

Maybe I'm being too harsh but I'd give them a 4 if I had to rate them on customer service. But then again, the other choices out there are no better. I still give this service a 10 on quality of information.

who convinced me to fly from LA to Philly just to see her.  The weekend was so incredible, not only did I feel it was not a service, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.  Obviously, my response was to give her a 10.  My review was rejected initially for the same reason.  It was unbelievable because it was so unbelievable!!  After a few negotiations with the staff, they agreed to accept the review with a 9 rating.  Yes, the review was "not objective" to the reader because things like this don't often happen but once in a lifetime.

Bear in mind, all reviews are works of fiction anyway, so take it with a grain of salt.

...because it was "inconsistent" with other reviews.  Now, I have like 26 reviews, have seen DOZENS of gals I have not reviewed for various reasons, and yet my review was rejected because it differed from somebody else.  What does staff think, I decided to lie this time?  Absurd, but there you are...  MA

ford1970 was my client and he was never a hobbyist before. He did an objective review with graphic details and his was approved. You have to use less adjectives and praise and specificly state what the girl did

...and any other identifying features- this may help from feedback on the board.  (I hope STAFF doesn't find this objectionable).

I poste da review that wqas rejected for not being objective. I said things like "She has really great boobs" and "She is even more  beautiful than her pictures." They accepted the same review when I limited my review to a blow by blow description of the session with no adjectives. That doesn't make sense to me -- I would rather read the writer's impressions of the whole experience.

When a review of a provider reads more like a commercial for (or against) the provider, we flag it as not objective. I realize you had a great time, but a review is supposed to be impartial.  Just the facts.

...TER downgrades ratings.  I had a review downgraded from a 9 to an 8.  It appears there might be one acronym missing BUT based on my OTHER reviews, the missing acronym is on my menu.  The unfortunate thing is that I asked TER about it and did not receive a response.  I just think the hobbyist should be informed if their review is going to be downgraded by TER...newer hobbyists sometimes do not like to be so graphic and, as a result, do not realize their review will be altered.  

So, is the "contact us" link just for hobbyists..????    

describing the woman as if you were introducing her in a romance novel is bad....they don't want details of how graceful she walked into the room with the wind blowing into her hair

I must settle for being her main squeeze.

I have her folks though and they are salt of the earth people.

sometimes truth is stranger and harder to accept...   for a few of my reviews, I have had encounters that were - even to me who lived through them - too good to be true.

In some of those instances - I have learned - that although the basic chemistry has to be there... if also helps if there is a specific set of circumstances that enable a unique experience to occur - which is why if I award a 10 (and I have and it has been allowed) I either will never see the lady again or never write another review... because I recognize circumstances may not be in either of our control.  and I agree Taylor is an exceptional lady.

now that you have 'em? :P Sorry, couldn't help myself, as usual. LOL.

Taylor, your reviews are incredible.  Your photos lovely.  TER is just trying to keep you trying harder!LOL

THANKS for your kind words, Biz! You've given me hope regarding the Philly gents!  

LOL xenopus -- thanks!  So, what's a "grubber?"  Does that mean I'm whining about TER altering my reviews...?  

...were denied for being obvious excerpts from  Charles Dickens novels. Who would guessed that so many of the review reviewers were English Lit majors.
