are just as confused as most reviewers about the numbers, so perhaps before condemning my rating system, you should try to understand its simplicity and ACCURACY.
I came up with this when I was new here, and I would PM reviewers to ask them about how they arrived at their numerical scores for their reviews. There was hardly anyone that could give me a sensible answer about what is the difference in service between a 3 and a 4, or a 5 and a 6, or a 6 and a 7. The only TER definition that was ever thrown out was that "5 is average." I would ask you the same question. Can you quantify in terms of services received the difference between these adjacent numbers in the MIDDLE of the scoring range? Then the second question is, "has every girl you have given a 6 to provided the exact same level of service as every other 6 you gave? Most reviews that use scoring in the middle of the range (3-7) can't explain the differences in service between each of these numbers in terms that would mean anything to other mongers reading reviews to find providers to see, and often leave me SMH about why they thought girl A was better than girl B.
The other thing is that reviewers tend to change their baseline over time. I have PM'd some guys and asked if they really thought their latest review Liz was worse than Nancy, who they saw two years ago, but gave a higher score to? Many were admitting that the recent girl was better, and they made a mistake in giving her a lower score. This proved to me that the 1-10 scoring system will never be accurate and consistent, and is even inconsistent internally with the same mongers that have been using it for a number of years.
My system is perfect in its simplicity AND accuracy. . . . . 9 = Above-average
8 = Average
7 = Below-average
10 = Top 10% of all providers I have seen (subject to TER content rules)
Most mongers are looking for girls who are average or above and to avoid girls that are below average. Since my review narratives give plenty of details on the specific services provided, these four categories are enough to make a cursory decision of whether a hobbyist wants to even read my review, or not, of a specific girl. It's easy to place a girl into one of these four categories for general selection purposes. I don't know ANY mongers that go strictly by scores when selecting reviews to read, but rather use the scores to pick which reviews to read. I want to make that process as easy as possible. As long as a monger KNOWS what my numbers mean, they can use my system to streamline their selection process on whether or not to read my reviews.
The best part is that every girl I see is put into the right category, and my scores are absolutely accurate over all of the years I have been reviewing. A monger can expect the exact same level of service from any girl who received an 8 from me and any girl who received a 9. A 7 means I found her below-average, and I'm not recommending her, so see her at your own risk. A 10 is a girl that should be on your bucket list. All girls within the same group are the same level of service. This means you don't have to worry about whether the difference in a 9 is just "an '8' with only some intangible thing extra." Everything in my scoring is tangible, not intangible. Intangible factors are why other reviews are often inconsistent in their scoring, even from the same reviewer.
Anyone else experiencing them getting slower to approve or deny? Used to be 72hrs as I could update some profiles on a Friday and get some 2day credits by Monday to have VIP days. Last month it started taking 5 days to review....and now problem reports I have from 8/11 have still not been reviewed as it has now been 7 days.
Maybe they want more folks to consistently pay. I haven't bought any days since 2013 and just updated ad links when I needed VIP days to fully use TER.
If I left out a word or want to correct a typo, it used to take no more than a couple of hours for my post to go through moderation. Lately it has taken more than 12 hours.
I also notice that more of my posts are going into random moderation. It can also take up to twelve hours to have them approved.
Sounds like a staff shortage to me.
Sounds like a staff shortage to me.
a correction to a lady's profile, as I have done a few times recently, I get 2 days for that?
I didn't even notice. I'll have to pay more attention in the future.
can be corroborated by another source. For instance, if her profile age says 26-30, but her web ad puts her age at 35, then that is the type of thing that can be reported for reward days.
Even something that they go ahead and change?
I had one case where the provider's profile said she had implants and she clearly doesn't and she confirmed that with me, not that I really needed confirmation. Anyway, I reported that and her profile was corrected.
In the other case the provider only does FBSM and no FS. She makes it very clear on her website that there is no FS with her. Her TER profile said "Sex: YES" and I reported that and it was corrected.
Then click "My Problem Reports" on the left side. You'll see the status of your Problem Reports - Approved or Unapproved and the number of days credit you received for each Problem Report.
I never knew that. I just checked and I got two days credit for the approved reports.
Thanks for the info! I learned something new here.
Today is Aug 20th, it's been 3 days so far, and nothing but crickets.
On the 17th, a first-time review was posted that had a typo in the escort's name on the TER banner. In the review itself, the links to her online ad and her personal website showed the correct spelling, and if I remember correctly, the Basic Details and/or Juicy Details also showed her name with the correct spelling.
We'll see how long it takes for TER to decide one way or another in the report.
9 days and counting. Problem reports in which I updated ad websites still listed as new...mods ain't look at em yet.
At this point it could all be duplicates (I get O credit) if the old ad links forwards to the ad new link...as happens after a while many times.
Same here. "Random" moderation is now "Frequent" moderation and it takes longer and longer to get posted. Later replies sometimes look stupid or redundant because they were made while the earlier reply was stuck in moderation.
.
Likewise, Problem Reports. I submitted a multi-part PR in July. They replied "Reponse Required" which means to re-submit using "Contact Us." Which I did, as a detailed numbered list of items to be fixed.
TER reply: We already fixed that.
What?! They only fixed ONE of the problems I reported and ignored the other 6.
I resubmitted 6 separate PRs on the same Profile.
ONE was accepted and the other 5 were rejected as Duplicates -- probably w/o even being read. They were all under the same Name / TER ID. I think the TER Admin probably say the same name on 6 PRs and only read one and rejected the rest as dupes.
I tried Contact Us, again.
TER reply: we fixed that. ... but, once again, the problems had not been fixed.
I sent another Contact Us using greater detail and pointing out the items that had NOT been fixed.
They fixed one more Problem and gave me 2 days.
I gave up.
That whole process took 21 calendar days.

Took 9 days. I only had 5 problem reports. Now I'm going to have to rethink how far in advance to do problem reports...or try to stack up some days, lol.
10 days and counting for me.
Definitely noticed a lag in getting reviews approved. Sometime it takes so long, the eros links I use expires and the girl has moved onto another city, and they don't approved the review because THEY took so long getting to it...
...I'm seeing an increase in reviews that are vague in content but still are allowed to give 8,9 and 10 as a performance ratings, along with members reviewing the same provider within the 3-4 month window...smh...
I've definitely noticed many reviews that are vague with little to no justification for the performance score given.
I remember writing a review a few years back and having it rejected because the score I gave was too high based on the narrative. I had forgotten to write that the blowjob was uncovered and once I added that it was approved.
The person or persons who now approve reviews are dropping the ball on this one big time nowadays.
Yup. And for a site that relies on reviews, you think they would be faster. I've slowed considerably writing reviews because of this, waste of my time
I definitely noticed a lag in getting reviews approved. Sometime it takes so long, the eros links I use expires and the girl has moved onto another city, and they don't approved the review because THEY took so long getting to it...
I have also had that problem ~ very big problem when you post a review on the many short timers that appear and then leave. By the time they FINALLY read and approve the lady isn't posted so the approve becomes unapproved. I agree I think it's intentional. I think that other sites will emerge ~ If you can't satisfy your mongers they will find another site to explore their fantasy's. Maybe we should do our own!!!??
he can buy a month and when his review is approved, he will still get the extra VIP days tacked onto the end of his paid term. If he already knows this, I don't see why its worth complaining about. A few weeks ago, I submitted 3 reviews over a weekend. Two were up in three days, and the third one took five days. It showed on my review history that it was submitted, so I wasn't panicking that it wasn't going to go through. I have written enough to know what the rules are to get them up with the least amount of work for the mods, but they still get busy from the volume now and then.
15 days for a review, right? Even if it is one or three lines or shorter reviews get less days?
in the review system. There is no minimum content requirement for reviews, only in respect to awarding a score above 7. This is how guys get away with writing a generic review that is little more than . . . . .
Saw her; DFK; shower; BBBJ; DATY; condom on; CG; RCG; ACG; mish; doggy; nice ass; flat doggy; finished; dressed; DFK; left.
Most of these are service descriptions that are already on her profile, so repeating them adds nothing in the way of information for other mongers contemplating seeing her, yet these kinds of reviews get the same number of VIP days as a comprehensive review that describes the girl's attitude, whether she was flirty and playful, and whether she is someone they would see again. Most mongers what to know about the social aspect of the date, not just the logistical stuff. If it was just a wham, bam situation, then why bother to review her at all? Oh wait, . . . . I almost forgot, they get free VIP days. Lol
The weakest spot in the review system incentivizes people to write FAKE reviews by showering them with free VIP membership days. They flood the reviews with their 'creative writing exercises' which dilutes the value of this (formerly) valuable resource.
Free membership days creates a revenue drought for TER; hence the endless posts recently for lead times increasing when writing to the mods, or (as another example) the regular rotation of the Ms. TER series.
CDL--We have head you preach of the value of VIP membership and that for the cost being less than one bad session.
-When was the last time that you paid for VIP?
-Are you willing to start paying your share?
Short answer ~ NO ~ most reviews are just to get excited about the upcoming interaction. I wouldn't trust any of the hobbyist except a few who know what they are talking about ~ Like Lion...
Because I was reviewing on another site. TER does not allow reviews to be published elsewhere, and the other site was geared more towards the SoCal market, so I thought my reviews would do more good there. They closed in late-summer 2015, and I started reviewing here exclusively since then.
TER is a review site. When was the last time that YOU wrote a review on TER?
in talking about someone else's lack of reviews when you have only two fake reviews and NO real ones? AND when was your LAST fake one?
Since you're a gutless punk who's too chickenshit to answer the question, I'll answer it for you:
April 27, 2021 - COEUR-DE-LION called out GaGAMBLER for GaGAMBLER'S lack of reviews:
"The big question is, why do you even give a fuck when you don't write reviews yourself? Do you see the irony in criticizing another reviewer when you don't have the confidence to write a single one yourself in 15+ years? That sounds like someone who doesn't think they can be accurate, consistent, or honest."
http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion-boards/ter-general-board-12/seven-is-----982784?frmSearch=1#982784
Do you see the irony in criticizing your own mentor? Do you see the irony in a pompous ass like you pretending to know why GaGAMBLER doesn't write reviews? Do you see the irony in psychoanalyzing GaGAMBLER by saying he doesn't "...have the confidence to write a single (review)...in 15+ years..." and hasn't written reviews because he "doesn't think (he) can be accurate, consistent, or honest." How do you know that, O wise one? Where did you get your psychiatry degree?
Do you see the irony in all that BULLSHIT?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
don't have an answer. What else is new?
GaGambler and I are good friends even when we disagree on something. At least you put a link so people can read the whole thread and see what a dishonest trouble-maker you are. He called me out first, and then gave me the last word. The next time, on another topic, I probably called him out first and then gave him the last word. We're friends, its what we do to get people like you worked up. See how you inserted yourself into the argument. You were totally buying into it. What a fucking dumbshit you are.
-- Modified on 10/6/2021 3:03:48 PM
I answered your question for you and showed everyone what you think of GaGAMBLER for not writing reviews.
If you think my reviews and whitelitsts are fake, report them to TER. PLEASE report them!! Maybe you can get me banned from TER.
And don't try and play it off by saying "GaGambler and I are good friends even when we disagree on something." You weren't "good friends" in that thread. See the post just above the other one I linked when GaGAMBLER wrote in the subject line: "BULLSHIT CDL"
http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion-boards/ter-general-board-12/bullshit-cdl-982772?page=
GaGAMBLER was calling you out in that post and ridiculing you for your 7-10 scale. You attacked him for his truthful post by accusing him of being "woke."
GaGAMBLER replied again and then you replied and lost your shit, ranting about him never writing any reviews. Everyone can indeed read that thread and see how you reacted to the truth like a defensive little baby and attacked GaGAMBLER with your bullshit psychoanalysis of why he doesn't write reviews.
-- Modified on 10/6/2021 9:19:26 PM
how do you know you gave the same answer I would have given? No, you answered for YOU. Don't try to manipulate the readers here. They are way too smart for you. Of course, your reputation precedes you anyway.
Those were your words describing what you think of GaGAMBLER being on TER for 17+ years (not 15+ you moron) and never writing a review.
No, GaGAMBLER did NOT "call you out." He simply told the COMPLETE TRUTH about the BULLSHIT "CDL scale" for reviewing providers "where even the worst appearance and/or service still rates a seven."

You, OTOH, reacted to GaGAMBLER's completely accurate post like the butt hurt little bitch you are. You immediately attacked him for not writing reviews:
"The big question is, why do you even give a fuck when you don't write reviews yourself?

That sounds like someone who doesn't think they can be accurate, consistent, or honest.
That certainly doesn't sound "friendly" to me. Both you and GaGAMBLER used "fuck" to emphasize your points. And while every word GaGAMBLER said was 100% accurate, you resorted to your typical BULLSHIT to try to insult GaGAMBLER for not writing reviews. How do you know he doesn't have the confidence to write reviews? How do you know GaGAMBLER couldn't be "accurate, consistent, or honest" if he would write reviews? You just made up a load of bullshit because GaGAMBLER was telling the TRUTH about you.
Go ahead and have the last word, its what you live for.
The LOWEST score he will ever give is a 7. To him, that is "Below Average." He said:
"The SoCal guys that regularly follow my reviews KNOW that a 7 is a DNS on MY scale. Likewise, I am careful to explain my scoring system on this board a couple times a year, so that newer members understand it." (I guess it's time for CDL to give his PSA again because you didn't know about his bullshit scale).
"In my Kgirl scale, 7 is the lowest." HIS K-girl scale, not TER's scale for ALL providers. He has his own scale because he has his own agenda - he doesn't want to "hurt" the business of the K-girls or the K-bookers who he brags about playing golf with. Unlike you who wants to improve TER, CDL doesn't give a shit about TER; his loyaties are with the K-girls and their bookers.
CDL: "Date a bunch of Kgirls on the outside where you're not paying to fuck them, and play golf with some of the male bookers."

...unless you are into greek or tag-team sex.
I think I saw a post a few weeks ago where you go into this in detail. If it was you who posted what I'm remembering, I strongly disagree with your derogatory characterization of we who like leaving the lazy drive though a pasture for a hard turn onto the Hershey Highway.
However, in general, I agree with you that the rating system is odd and flawed. More to the point, I hope we can all agree that self-absorbed users who use their own rating system are being thoroughly abusive of users and the system and should have the privilege of writing reviews removed. That TER takes no notice of this pattern of a user is...oh why bother. TER makes themselves complicit in their own loss and we're complicit in what we all, at one time or another, complain about.
On the subject of the rating system itself: a "hot time" becomes "went the extra mile" because she took it in the poopshoot — I can see that. But wait, she also could have just slipped you the tongue for the same rating. If anybody can tell me how those experiences require equal effort from the provider, let me know.
And then we go to '9' and '10,' which really shouldn't require more than DFK, but should absolutely require DFK. How could you "forget it was a service" as you asks you to stick it deeper in her ass...right after she refused to kiss you? No, that's a pro. Any civi would have tickled your tonsils long ago, probably before you ever took off even a single item of clothing.
So getting to a '9' really shouldn't rest on providing the same services as an '8' with only some intangible thing extra. A '9' should NOT be available to a woman who doesn't DFK. But a '10'? Sure, why not. The solution is adjectival ratings and that has no chance whatsoever. Or maybe you offered a better one and I should go look for that post of yours.

You might take a look at the MANY discussions which have occurred over the years. See link below for quick search results (and hopefully they are not affected by having or not having VIP status).
People give CDL grief about his way but at least he is open and honest about it and how he does it. But the reality is everyone has they own system but just use the numbers (or some of them) between 1 and 10. One told me that he bases his scores of the providers he has seen. So a 5/5 for him is the average of who he's seen. Not really all that helpful. So I don't find his way any more troubling than that of others. It always boils down to actually READING the review and then figuring out if you and the reviewer actually share the same preferences and outlooks on what makes a good session. The numbers are just a kind of crude filter tool.
Thanks for that. I'd already seen numerous threads/posts on the topic. Still, your results were interesting to peruse. These discussions would be a wealth of info for somebody creating a new review service. I liked the one below in particular that builds on what already exists on TER.
Justsause16 and imposter have really done some good thinking on the topic. I’d be curious to see if they’ve commented on what I think is a destructive practice, personal rating scales. Given their focus on forcing accurate scores, reducing the ability of users to game the system, makes me think they wouldn’t be friendly comments. Being "open and honest" about the practice does nothing to lessen its negative effects. Saying the quiet part out loud doesn't excuse the behavior.
I like this approach in particular — the title says it all: “It should be an average per service rendered.” ...per service!
“Then, from those individual scores you can calculate the average (x of 100) for all services rendered. This way, a sensual massage provider has a shot of getting a high score, but, keeping with TER's tradition, if they offer more services their overall score is likely going to be higher (more points to support the average) but ONLY if the additional services they offer are performed well.”

For me the whole we can improve is a problematic claim. I would certainly agree that for me some changes would be an improved approach -- but also suspect others will disagree. The disagreements are not invalid in my view. I would cast the problem here very much as that of a constrained maximization type situation. There are a number of margins to optimize over and depending on which margins are consider more or less important will determine what solution is considered the better.
I think there is also a simplicity versus complexity aspect here too. Personally I think the 1 - 10 scale attempts to allow too fine a degree of difference and the reality is that the subjective aspect of the evaluations made are greater than the scale -- meaning that we'll see more cases where some think something like 7 is correct while others think 9 is correct. I tend to think a 1 - 5 scale would be better on that count.
For me it keeps coming back to an effort to quantify qualitative data -- and it's the qualitative information that is the most important. So reading the reviews if you're going to use them is key, the numbers are rough guides at best for the start of the search. But then again, I'm not sure how many here search reviews as a way to look for providers versus those who simply find via ad sites and then check the review for that specific person.
If using the score numbers to fine new possibilities is not a good strategy and it's better to look for the ads and then do your homework on that specific provider I'm not really sure the efforts to quantify are adding that much value. If that is true then this whole discussion seems rather academic and a bit like angels and pinheads.
There are others who see an ad and then look to TER. And then there are those guys who have reviewed a girl after me, only to say they wished they had seen my review first and spent their money elsewhere. It runs the gamut. But you can be sure that I have found providers I never saw an ad for before I read the TER review. It's why I joined TER. That was the reason.
While looking for info related to "allowed" replies, I found myself rereading the Review Guidelines. It's expected you agree to these guidelines before you post a review. Number eight of the guidelines defines very specifically scores 8-10. In fact, they are the only scores so narrowly defined (emphasis added):
"In order *to keep our overall performance ratings consistent,* we set up the following system: An escort provider is only eligible to earn up to a 7, unless she performs one or some of [blah blah blah]. For each of these services that are performed, her potential max score is raised by one point, with 10 as an absolute maximum. Remember, it’s your review; *within these guidelines* you still get to decide what her score should be. You do not have to give her the ‘extra point’."
While I think this exposes just how bad the scoring system is, unless it's changed, you are expected to use it. Developing your own scoring system, e.g., using only 1-5, skews the scores. Is the reader supposed to understand from reading your review that the exceptional, once in a lifetime experience you describe is how she earned an estimable '5' on your scale?
It's self-centered to think so. And I suspect the real reason for using a personal scoring system where the lowest score is, say, an '8' is to stay in the good graces of providers who ask you for your TER ID. I think there should be a policy whereby membership precludes ever giving your TER ID to a provider. Unenforceable, sure. It would go away to solve this and the "review special" problems.
cause me to alter my scoring system. I do it for the mongers, not the providers. But NOT giving it to providers helps me avoid unwanted drama or blowback if I say something a provider doesn't like or disagrees with. I learned this on another review site the hard way before moving my reviewing exclusively to TER in 2015. I NEVER use my TER ID as a credential to get an appointment. The downside is greater than the upside. Just try it yourself. Give a girl your TER ID and then write a review where you say you can't recommend for ANYONE to see her. Then sit back and see what happens. Lol
are just as confused as most reviewers about the numbers, so perhaps before condemning my rating system, you should try to understand its simplicity and ACCURACY.
I came up with this when I was new here, and I would PM reviewers to ask them about how they arrived at their numerical scores for their reviews. There was hardly anyone that could give me a sensible answer about what is the difference in service between a 3 and a 4, or a 5 and a 6, or a 6 and a 7. The only TER definition that was ever thrown out was that "5 is average." I would ask you the same question. Can you quantify in terms of services received the difference between these adjacent numbers in the MIDDLE of the scoring range? Then the second question is, "has every girl you have given a 6 to provided the exact same level of service as every other 6 you gave? Most reviews that use scoring in the middle of the range (3-7) can't explain the differences in service between each of these numbers in terms that would mean anything to other mongers reading reviews to find providers to see, and often leave me SMH about why they thought girl A was better than girl B.
The other thing is that reviewers tend to change their baseline over time. I have PM'd some guys and asked if they really thought their latest review Liz was worse than Nancy, who they saw two years ago, but gave a higher score to? Many were admitting that the recent girl was better, and they made a mistake in giving her a lower score. This proved to me that the 1-10 scoring system will never be accurate and consistent, and is even inconsistent internally with the same mongers that have been using it for a number of years.
My system is perfect in its simplicity AND accuracy. . . . .
9 = Above-average
8 = Average
7 = Below-average
10 = Top 10% of all providers I have seen (subject to TER content rules)
Most mongers are looking for girls who are average or above and to avoid girls that are below average. Since my review narratives give plenty of details on the specific services provided, these four categories are enough to make a cursory decision of whether a hobbyist wants to even read my review, or not, of a specific girl. It's easy to place a girl into one of these four categories for general selection purposes. I don't know ANY mongers that go strictly by scores when selecting reviews to read, but rather use the scores to pick which reviews to read. I want to make that process as easy as possible. As long as a monger KNOWS what my numbers mean, they can use my system to streamline their selection process on whether or not to read my reviews.
The best part is that every girl I see is put into the right category, and my scores are absolutely accurate over all of the years I have been reviewing. A monger can expect the exact same level of service from any girl who received an 8 from me and any girl who received a 9. A 7 means I found her below-average, and I'm not recommending her, so see her at your own risk. A 10 is a girl that should be on your bucket list. All girls within the same group are the same level of service. This means you don't have to worry about whether the difference in a 9 is just "an '8' with only some intangible thing extra." Everything in my scoring is tangible, not intangible. Intangible factors are why other reviews are often inconsistent in their scoring, even from the same reviewer.
dead-on accurate, and allows complete consistency from my first review to my most recent, which is more than I can say for the majority of reviewers here. The scale has never changed. If the point of reviewing is to help OTHER mongers decide whether to see a particular girl or not, they have to know how to interpret the numerical score, and my grading system accomplishes this better than most. I actually arrived at this after discovering through research that most reviewers here have no idea what they are doing when it comes to numerical scores, so I consider my system a haven of sanity in an otherwise insane review environment when it comes to scores.
Its ironic that some of the biggest critics of my scoring system are guys who have only given 9's and 10's. Then there are others who take the TER guidelines literally. In other words, 5 is average and 6 is above average, and by definition, they can only give ONE 10, because, as they explain, the definition is "Once in a Lifetime." And what does "model material" mean? I saw a commercial on TV the the other day where every model showing off clothes was over 200 pounds. Maybe some of these should become providers just to get "model material" scores. Could she get her low scores corrected up to 9's by showing she really IS a model in her day job?
I've thought about that too, who gets or deserves a 9 model material. When you look at the people, women & men in clothing ads it's a real PC situation going on. I've questioned my 9 rating thinking who else would rate her the same! But, it always comes back to looks being subjective and as long as I like her looks I'll give her a 9 and the Mongers should take that into consideration, I know I do when reading others reviews!
You can read ratings on looks and when you see her it will be, it was right on, she's way better looking or what was this guy thinking, all subjective!
Personally, I find the numerical ratings worthless no matter what standard/range is applied or who gave the numbers. When reading reviews to scout a prospective date, I look for, in order:
1. Are the pictures either real or an accurate description. I can decide for myself if she's a 7, 8, 9 or 10 if I know the pictures are accurate. Someone else's numerical score is irrelevant to me.
2. Does she provide dfk, bbbj, daty, fiv and cfs.
3. Then I read the narratives. Everything I need to know is in the narratives, and I try to only see ladies with 5 or more reviews because the collective narratives usually provide a really accurate description of what I will experience. After reading the collective narratives I can decide for myself whether I think her performance would be a 7, 8, 9 or 10 to me.
4. Finally, I look to see if any of the reviewers have reviewed other ladies that I have seen and reviewed and whether their narratives on the prior ladies were similar to my experiences. If so, those are the most valuable reviews to me in deciding to see the prospective dates.
as well. The only one that is difficult for me is the 5-review minimum. In OC, we often get girls that come for three weeks, and don't get to five reviews before they leave, so I would get shut out waiting for 5 reviews before taking the plunge and have to wait for the next time they come around to my area.
By the fact that you look for girls that are going to be a 7, 8, 9, or 10 for YOU, it seems no matter what you think of scores, you are still looking for girls that are no worse than average to above-average. I think this is what most mongers want, but when some reviewers are using 5 for average and 6 for above average, you have to read more reviews to get a feel for where they will come in for you as an individual.
I frequently RAP on my own profile to update my locations. It currently takes several days and in a few cases, it still wasn't updated a couple weeks later when I went to change it again.
I wish TER would agree to list "Touring" as a location 
Regarding corroboration: I've had my hair color, length, eye color and services changed on me w/o warning by ppl using/abusing RAP for free days. No notice given nor did TER attempt to verify such things.
It was only when someone else pointed it out to me (or I noticed when looking at a recent review) that I became aware.
In each case, I contacted TER and it whatever-it-was got switched back but they never actually responded to me.

8/29 Submitted about 22 updates. Still not reviewed....but this could end up being a 10day process at best.
I'm thinking the end of every month I'll have to bulk problem report these days.
If the paid option had a feature to pay/request 2 VIP days per week of my choosing I'd probably sign up to pay. I don't need days in a row, lol. I just want VIP Monday and Thursdays...104 days per year.

I think they are getting back on track.

5 days they got through my 22 reports. I'm impressed as they are back to normal. But I will have to switch things up a little as it could take 10days for a few reports if they get slow.
You should post that to the S&P Board. Pay an amount to TER to establish your VIP "bank." Use it up in 1 day or 24-hour increments. I think it's fair to expect to pay more per day than if you opted for a continuous use plan: $210/year = $210/365 days, continuous use, is 57 cents per day.
.
Whaddya think ... bank $210 but pay $2 per day for selective "as needed" use = 105 days of selective use? (Hmm ... that's your current requested use. Suggest something different.)
How about $1 per day? Haha. It's better than my Zero since 2013. And Maybe that could reduce fake reviews from others.
But yeah...maybe I need to post it on S&P board. The model as is doesn't work for me nor incentives me to pay. I'd rather trade time for $.
All I want to do is keep my profile update. I recently deleted my website because I have not worked all year due to covid. I wanted to update my rates here & made several requests, but nothing has changed. I feel bad because I want to be honest & accurate. Any help is greatly appreciated. Do I need to be VIP to get my profile updated? Someone please gift me some days. lol Smile 4 me!
contact admin? Scroll down to the bottom of any page, and click "contact us" on the far right hand side. You don't need to try to scam free VIP days from other members. lol U smile 4 me!
...she was a K-girl, wouldn't you? But because she's an "indie" you have to be a snarky asshole.
She said she has "made several requests" you idiot. But you'll take any chance you get to try and trash an "indie" provider by accusing her of trying to "scam free VIP days from other members."
You really resent "indie" providers because all your broke ass can afford is cut-rate K-girls who fuck ten guys a day.
