One thing I noted in your post was that it was NOT taken form the TER advertising policies but from a VIP member.
Here is what is listed on the policy:
About US
This site is here for one single reason: We all work hard for our money and we don’t want to waste it on someone who doesn’t deliver as promised. We are also dedicated to finding those special women who truly enjoy making the time we spend with them something special.
We need your help maintaining this site as a powerful and reliable reference tool for those who patronize erotic services on the Internet. Once you’ve had a session with a provider, we invite you to log-on and submit a review of your experience. And when you are ready for your next encounter, please drop by and see what your fellow Hobbyists have to say about the provider of your choice.
> The Erotic Review does not charge members a fee to view the information on this site, especially those users who take the time to write reviews of their encounters with the ladies. However, should you choose not to review these lovely women, we do provide a low payment option to help keep TER on line. (But in order to maintain our integrity, we do not accept advertising dollars from the ladies or their agencies). In a further effort to cover our costs, we will provide a limited number of advertising slots for companies whose interests do not conflict with ours.
Thank you for your support!
Guidelines for submiting a review
1. You must sign up for a username before submitting a review. A username is required so we may credit your reviews and keep others from posting their own material under your name. A username also protects your anonymity and reputation. If you do not have a username, please click here to signup for one, FREE.
2. Be fair and honest in your reviews -- this is what the providers do for a living. PLEASE BE WARNED: We will not post any review that slams or denigrates a provider, nor will we post reviews that contain such derogatory terms such as: Cunt, bitch, slut – or any politically inappropriate wording that might hurt someone’s feelings.
3. The lady being reviewed must have an advertisement on the web that includes her name and any one type of the following contact information: phone number, pager, email address or reservation form.
4. You must also enter the lady’s web address in the "Web Site" field, along with her site name. If she advertises on an adult mall, a link that takes us directly to her ad will speed up your review process. To make the link, find the picture of the girl at the mall site and right click (or SHIFT+CLICK) on her photo. A pop up menu will appear. Choose the option to “Open in a new window.” The direct link will appear in the address bar above. Copy and paste that address into your review. Remember, names of escort agencies or newspapers aren’t good enough. Classified ads are also unacceptable. Only URL or web links will pass muster.
5. Massage Parlors are accepted and posted in the Massage Parlor section. However, these reviews will not receive membership credit because the majority of Massage Parlors don’t advertise on the web (internet advertising is a TER must for posting.)
6. A phone number isn’t required for posting. If the provider doesn’t wish to give out her phone number, please respect her decision. Type 555-555-1212 in the phone number field instead of a real number.
7. In order to keep our performance ratings consistent, we set up the following system: An escort provider may only earn up to a 7, unless she also performs the following during a session: Kisses With Tongue, Bare-Back Blow Job, Really Bi, Anal Sex, or More than One Guy. The addition of each offering will raise her score by one point. If your review doesn’t already accurately reflect this rating system, we will adjust it.
8. You may also submit an update on a provider that you have already reviewed. We will replace your old review, but you won’t be credited for an additional 15 days. Your new review must be a complete rewrite that adds something new to the experience in order for it to replace the old one.
9. Each review must recount a visit that took place within the last three months in order to be timely. A lot can change with a provider – even in this relatively short period.
10. Both the General and Juicy Details section have been set up to house elaborate descriptions of your encounter. The General Details section should contain generalized, broader comments about the provider and your experience. At this point, do not mention specific sexual acts or price; just give the members a tease. The Juicy Details section should be used to describe the provider, the experience, and whether or not you enjoyed it in graphic emotional and sexual terms. Don’t make this space a recap of the General section. Instead, go for a blow-by-blow tell-all of your session with the provider from your own unique point of view. Remember, your opinion matters! Both the General and Juicy details should be at least four lines long or (preferably) longer.
11. The review becomes the property of The Erotic Review.
12. We are not obligated to post any review.
13. We reserve the right not to credit, or to remove credit from writers of reviews we don’t post or cancel later.
14. We consider all reviews to be fictional stories that are posted by TER solely for entertainment purposes.

Information for Providers
Hello, Ladies. Welcome to The Erotic Review. Were it not for your fine services we wouldn’t exist, so we would like to take moment to both thank and acknowledge you. By now you probably understand the premise of the site, and a review or two of your services may even already be posted here.
If you like the review you received, you can place a hyperlink on your web page that points potential clients directly to your review page. The text for such a link should be worded as: "Reviewed by The Erotic Review". Please do not cut and paste this information. Contact us and we will help you set up the proper link.
You will find that TER hyperlinks are helpful for two reasons: If you provide a quality service and truly give a guy his money's worth, this site will increase your business. If you don't, it will provide you with honest feedback on how to improve.
There have been a number of emails sent to me regarding posting and ads, the difference between them, etc. Basically, any provider can respond to any posts that are out there or begin their own. If I understand TER's policy correctly, you can post one "ad" per week with a link to your URL. Please don't put the URL in every message to which you respond. Once you put your URL in, your response become an ad.
If guys want to find your site, they can either search the reviews or perform a "Find Message" on the Discussion Board. By copying and pasting your name into the author line, they should be able to find your web site. The system automatically looks for every post with your name in the author line for 30 days.
Please email me if you any more questions.

While I agree with the desire to keep ads to one per week, I question the 'add you URL to the post and it is an ad.'
Please forgive me if this is an established policy, otherwise, I find it very helpful if a lady adds her URL to a message when she replies. It saves me the trouble of looking for a message from her that has the link.
B.O.B.
I defintely don't mind if they post their link AND if they want to run a last minute special... that's why I'm on here, I don't need to "discuss" very many things with other guys.
I read the Provider Posting Guidelines posted on the newbie board by GIRL NEXT DOOR and it says
"By participating in the discussions on TER discussion boards, you can greatly increase your visibility and give potential clients the opportunity to get to know you better. You may include your link in messages you contribute to any TER discussion board, and that does not count toward your ad limit. In fact, you are encouraged to include your link, because it helps everyone get to know you better. Just please make those linked messages meaningful, entertaining or helpful contributions."
So why aren't we allowed to include out link in any message we respond to on the twin cities board?
My mistake. You people have it correctly stated. Thanks for your input and helping me get it right.
