TER has instituted a policy that gives registered providers limited FREE TER VIP membership. The method of going about getting this FREE TER VIP membership and all of its benefits, as well as the ability to give a hobbyist a White List referral is as follows:
A provider MUST have her username registered as a provider and tied to her TER Profile and Reviews to receive limited FREE VIP. A provider must have at least one review to become a registered provider; this is because without a review you have no profile.
Check to see if this is already done. Look at one of your messages posted on any discussion board and see if there is a link which say "See my TER reviews" on the line under the subject line to the right of your username. If it's already there, you're registered.
If not, you need to send an email to [email protected] requesting registration as a provider. It is best to send the email from the same email address that is on your TER Profile, as that makes verification easier.
Please make sure to include your TER username, the name on your TER profile, and the TER ID of your profile or a direct link to your TER profile to expedite processing.
Once registered as a provider, you will have access to all of the services below:
1.) You will have access to the Juicy Details/Services Offered/Cost of Services areas of your own reviews (but not other reviews).
2.) Your TER Profile and Reviews will automatically link to every message you submit on any of the discussion boards, making it easy for guys to find you and increasing your exposure.
3.) You have access to the TER Mail/PM (Private Messaging) system. Access to the TER Mail system is a great asset in itself. It allows you to communicate with moderators, staff, hobbyists & other registered providers, without having to search for their email address or other form of contact.
4.) You will be able to give a White List referral to ANY hobbyist member of TER. It doesn't matter if he submitted a review of you or not.
To give someone a White List referral, click on the "reviews" button near the top of the screen, and then select "Search White List" on the left side of the screen. Type in the hobbyists TER username (or his email address if you don't know his username, which may, or may not, match up depending on what email he uses on his TER profile).
Once you find the hobbyist you are looking for, you click on the "Submit Referral Button", which only providers can see. It’s that easy!

If you list your site with in the TER Site Reviews, you will be sent the html code that will put the logo on your site and link it automatically. The more people who click through from your website to TER, the higher on the Site Reviews your listing will appear.
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.
when you post a reply to a thread, or start a legitimate discussion thread, it is absolutely appropriate to add a link to your website (as long as it is conforming) or EROS ad to your post.
You SHOULD NOT however, add your photo to the reply (or thread starter) - unless it is germane to the topic - like what color hair your have or whether certain areas are shaved, or how many tats you have, or whatever.
Also, adding a comment to a thread that adds nothing - like "Yea right", just so you can get your link in, is not appropriate.
Mini-Review Guidelines:
Per TER posting guidelines, reviews of any type are not allowed on discussion boards, because their proper place is in the review database. However, the use of mini-reviews is warranted by the need and desire of hobbyists to share review information on visiting providers whose local availability may have ended by the time a formal review is submitted and approved. Based on those conditions, mini-reviews are allowed on the discussion board, provided they meet the guidelines below.
1. Mini-Reviews may not be posted on local providers, regardless of whether they have TER reviews or not. Local providers will still be here next week, so no sense of urgency exists on sharing review information.
2. Mini-Reviews may only be posted on visiting providers with 3 or fewer TER Reviews. If a provider already has 4 or more TER Reviews, a Mini-Review is not needed -- look up the existing TER Reviews in the database.
3. Mini-Reviews may only be posted on visiting providers with 4 or more TER Reviews if none of the TER Reviews were posted within the past 3 months.
4. Mini-Reviews may only be posted by established TER members with 5 or more existing TER Reviews.
5. Mini-Reviews must be followed up by a formal TER Review posting within 72 hours.
6. Mini-Reviews may only be posted using your TER reviewer username - aliases may not be used.
7. Only one Mini-Review thread per visiting lady is allowed. Additional Mini-Reviews by other members may be added to the original Mini-Review post.
8. The Subject line of a Mini-Review post should be structured as follows:
Mini - [ProviderName of AgencyName/CityOfOrigin]
examples:
Mini - Wicked Witch of TinMan Companions
Mini - Dorothy of Oz
9. The Message body of the Mini-Review post may only include the following info:
Recommended: yes/no/ymmv
Rating: may range from 1/1 to 10/10 (appearance/performance)
GFE: yes/no/ymmv, or may use the GFE+++ scale
Services: list acronyms/terms of offered services only
Rates: rate/time of your encounter
Incall: yes/no - if yes, list general geographical area
Outcall: yes/no/unknown
Photos: accurate/glamour/old/B&S
- A link to the provider's current web site or escort mall ad must be included in 'link URL' box.
- Providing a photo link in the 'picture URL' box is acceptable.
- Additional text is acceptable but it may not have as many details as a formal review.
Mini-Reviews not meeting the format requirements will be removed or modified.
Mini-Reviews must be followed by submission of a full, formal TER review to the TER review database.

First, rule #1 states that the reason for allowing a "mini-review" of a VISITOR, but not a local, is because the lady might be gone before the full review is published. If so, why not consider the fact the the VISITING GUY who is interested in the mini-review might also be helped by reading a mini-review, so I think, if mini-reviews are allowed, they should be allowed of any provider, that meaning VISITOR or LOCAL.
Second, I remember a long time ago there was some formality to the Performance rating numbers. That is, a Provider couldn't get a 10 unless she performed certain things, etc. The reason I asked is I see 9's and 10's tossed around now, yet the review itself contradicts the rating number assigned by the Reviewer. Hope this makes sense.
#1 - The idea for mini-reviews is for new ladies only, and to allow local hobbiests the chance to see the visitors to their city. For those hobbiests who are visitors, they can easily look up the reviews of the local ladies, since the local ladies are not going anywhere. If we allow them on local ladies, we begin to defeat the purpose of the entire review database to begin with.
And, the mini-review is a departure from the "No Reviews allowed on the discussion boards" rule. So we need to keep them to a minimum.
#2 - Yes, there is a formality to the rating system, and it is debated vigorously on these boards. For a mini-review however, we need to give the hobbiest some latitude to come up with his own numbers (and that is the reason for the multiple review minimum for the reviewer) and those of us who do the approving or moderating do not really have time to double check these numbers. so, the mini-review gets a bye.
However, I do go back pretty regularly to check to make sure that the full review was submitted, and if I find that it has not been, then that hobbiest becomes banned form mini-reviews in the future.
