The guidelines are so inconsistently adhered to by those who approve them at TER it gives ready impetus for a scheming hobbyist, BF-SO, paid shill, or saboteur to submit one, or several!
I've seen 10/10 reviews that were no longer than 4 'total' sentences, and they certainly were not 'run-on' sentences. How can a pinnacle experience be described or even begin to vindicate that kind of score in only 4 hastily typed sentences? I've also seen reviews that violate every guideline in their coarse "denigrating", "slamming" of a provider, and gave every spelling and grammatical clue of drunken malevolence in literary form.
I laud your ethics MP in your past and hopefully future alerting of TER on fictitious reviews. As we all can easily see the current manipulations of the system have made the ‘scores’ practically meaningless near and in the “Top 10” category. Only through honesty such as yours and similarly from other providers and hobbyists can (or will) TER be influenced to remedy both the rampant score inflation as well as surreptitious sabotage that beleaguers an otherwise valuable informational and business tool
Untrustworthy, and very unfortunate to see, but they are all fantasy reviews right?
Who benefits from fake high scoring reviews? I know in the past I have reported fake reviews on my profile because I did not want any provider to assume I did in fact see a guy who I have never met. Safety 1st. It made me think why would this fella submit a fake review only to gain free VIP access her on TER that seems very petty. False reviews are not wanted, nor do they benefit this community.
I find many lately hard to believe. What are your thoughts if any please share...

I find it quite disconcerting to say the least. It's seems pretty simple does it not, just be honest and respectful with your reviews. This site is here to help us all out and it just serves to weaken the foundation when one is any less than forthcoming.
I suppose providers just need to be more diligent as you are in keeping up with their reviews and having them deleted when there is a fake. Thanks for the post.
I have provider friends in other cities who can't identify some reviewers and are sure the reviews are fake. They have tried to have the reviews removed and succeeded in some cases. I've also seen some bogus reviews that stood out and were removed. In some cases, the fake reviews seem intended to hurt the provider or help the competition. I know of at least one hobbyist who is reputed to write fake reviews to get free VIP status.
Yes, ladies, monitor your reviews. Recently, the top three ladies in LA all received 'slam' reviews. The reviews were identified as fake by a number of characteristics including timing, factual errors, grammatical errors, etc. and were removed by TER. Unfortunately, there are some bad actors out there and vigilance is needed.

I believe there are fake reviews done by providers and/or their friends. I always try to be fair, but I will not give anything above a 6 if not satisfied. If she is a total rip-off, I will call it.
