... to not write a review unless it's 10/10 is manipulation, IMO.
Also telling reviewers that they must allow you to read and edit reviews before publication is manipulation, but I can understand why a provider would do this given abuses of reviews by authors. If the sole purpose is to correct inaccuracies, I think that's fine. If it's to influence the overall tone of the review, it's not ok. I had one provider ask me to run my review by her a few years ago, because she'd just had a couple of false reviews. She asked me to change one word, which I did because it didn't change the overall thrust of my review. Also a couple of times I've run reviews by providers before publishing them because there were some things we did that were outside their norms. In one case there were no changes requested, in the other the provider suggested (not demanded) changes that improved the review!Is there one, definitive explanation of what this means?
Is it sort of a broad term that covers a variety of review issues?
Are ladies who tell guys NOT to review them unless it's 10/10 scores doing this?
I've had people offer to send me their reviews prior to posting so I can edit anything I don't like, but that just feels awkward to me, so I've declined. I've even had one person do this (sent me his draft prior to posting) without first being asked or warned that he was going to do so.
Makes me wonder if a significant percentage of ladies are requesting that gentlemen do this.
To be honest, this makes me uncomfortable. While it does make correcting inaccuracies a little easier, I would not want to be accused of manipulating reviews.
So is that practice considered "review manipulation"?
TIA!

The only discussion about a review that is legit, is if the provider offered a service to the client that is not listed on her menu, and the provider asks (or the client inquires about) that said service not be mentioned in the review for obvious reasons.
Other than that, the client and provider should not be discussing the specifics of the review.
I've recently had a FALSE review written and published about me. I followed guidelines and PMed the reviewer-no response. I emailed support and nothing has been done. This review is not only inaccurate-it DIDNT happen. What do I do to get it removed or edited? It's affecting my work. And I really love doing this, I've worked hard to build up the "Awesome Stephanie" name.
Sadly, some girls will offer discounts in exchange for good reviews. Others will try to get personal info on the guy so he is afraid to write a bad review.
There are so many ways reviews can be manipulated that I don't know of a definitive meaning for it.
I'm sure you'll get a lot of opinions though... For me, it's a matter of intent. Is the gal delibrately trying to influence the outcome in her favor? There are several methods she could use. Blackmail, coercion, etc.
If a gentleman chooses of his own volition to consult the gal he's reviewing, then that is not manipulation IMHO
I had one provider ask that I please not hurt their score on TER. It flowed naturally out of the conversation we were having. If I remember correctly the ask was made before the session really began. It was a great time and she had nothing to worry about.
1) a provider asked me to delete a TER review and use another review site because TER reviews are "too explicit".
2) a provider asked not to review her because she didn't want to have another review at the time [it was a great time but I complied with her wish].
3) a provider asked to email the verbiage to her first before publishing the review. She did not make any requests for any changes to what I had written.
IMHO, to ask/demand a certain score ("not unless a 10-10" or "no lower than her average"), IS MANIPULATION.
Whether to write a review and what is in it is totally up to the client. Only you can post a TER review and a client cannot be manipulated against his will. If I have a great session with a provider, I will give her the option to review my draft. They usually appreciate the gesture and take me up on it. Typically they want to delete information that might reveal their identities. A couple of providers asked me to change my estimate of their ages; others wanted to eliminate things that we did that were not listed on their profiles that they didn't want to do with every guy i.e. CIM or Greek. If I don't have a great experience, I write the review and post it without giving her the review option.
I completely agree with what you've shared here. I've never asked ahead of time what score a client will give me or even if he will post a review. Most clients I have seen do not post reviews. I have had s few send them to me ahead of time, which I appreciate for the same reasons you mentioned here. I like to be sure nothing is posted that is too personal for my comfort level and some things listed in reviews are best if not always on the menu. 
I think providers who try to manipulate scores disqualify the accuracy of the scoring system, making it less reliable. If there is something I can improve upon as a provider, I prefer to have that opportunity than for a client to feel pressured into a high score.
