I appreciate that reviews are gettting posted at a quicker rate, but also think there should be some quality control.
The following review just popped up. From the review it appears the lady did not kiss, did not provide a bj (although the info. page mentioned it was covered), and there was one pop. There is also not a working link to her information.
It is this gentlemans first review, which I would think should lead to a more thorough check of the review. I am not blaming the reviewer, we each have our own views of a 10 experience, but it would be nice for there to be some consistency across reviews.
Especially when you search by her phone number and get 6 hits, all on the same day, and all leading to a profile only with no reviews visible. Perchance a Bug? How about maybe 6 new people each review a new lady on the same day? Who Knows?
I have said this for months. There are hundreds of reviews with 9 and 10's that I can not figure why.
I think too much weight is put on the numbers as it is. Performance, like appearance, is totally subjective. I've never liked the fact that my scores were "adjusted" because a lady didn't do X, Y, or Z. Maybe I don't need a "Z" to have a "forgot it was a service" experience.
Coming out of abstinence or marriage (near abstinence) a guy's reviews are going to tend to be high. That doesn't make them wrong. For him his first time may very well be a once-in-lifetime (10) experience. Now whether or not he feels the same way about it in a year, well, that's another question -- but at the time he wrote the review it was, from his perspective, a valid 10.
If you can read his 10-10 review and say "That's not a 10 to me!" then I'm not sure I see the problem? The review system is working.
Or are there guys out there that scan the numbers and book a date without ever having read the actual reviews?
I understand your point, but explain the two massage replies, which are shown right next to each other. How can someone who indicates he doesn't know if she offers massage also indicate that her massage is 'awesome'????? It is definitely an inconsistent review.
Besides, this particular chap could well be an idiot. I was speaking more...in generalities.

My 2 cents...In a database like TER's you have to apply numbers in order to make sense of a large volume of information. otherwise it would take forever to make a decision. I wish I had a 10 / 10 experience, but I haven't - yet. I also understand that when looking at those numbers applied by others, it is based on their opinion, but still the best quick way of communicating it.
Even though the reviewer might, TER does NOT update the information at the top of the review each time. That is apparently a "weighted average" of all the reviews submitted to date. Hence, the apparent "inconsistency". For that reason, I hate having to fill it all out each time. Half of what I put often does not reflect in the final review posted.
According to the TER guidelines it was not possible for this young lady to receive anything higher than a 7 (based on the written review) for performance. If someone did not have VIP access they could easily have a much different experience than what they anticipated.
Besides the numbers being wrong the link was bad and the review never mentions a bj (although it was marked off as being covered). He does not know if he got a massage, but it was great. Her breast were d's, but not sure if implants...
I am just being cranky because I have had some great sessions with awesome ladies, that met all the review criteria, only to have my performance score knocked down a notch. It only happened twice, but I still feel bad the young ladies did not get the reviews they deserved. Then I find this review and just shake my head.
I also agree with your thoughts that review scores change over time. My average early sessions were rated too high by me and lately I probably rate average sessions too low. I have just been spoiled by so many great times!

You are correct. I'd forgotten about the VIP/Graphic details thing. Minus the details, the numbers are all the we have to go on.
