My 2 last reviews are not legit. They are good reviews but nonetheless fake. Shyhigh3 I sent you a PM WEEKS ago asking you who you were. Crickets. Now jims55000 I sent you a PM today too. Can you guys just not afford VIP? I swear, if TER will stop giving away free VIP a lot of this would stop! I'm low volume first off so it's not very hard at all to know who I've seen. I always offer FC's and not to mention I don't want any lady to think I saw these guys if I haven't. It's more than just numbers here, it's safety too! I'm not one to dispute a legit review but I'll be damned if I'll just sit back and do nothing about a fake one. Ok, rant over. Carry on with your regularly scheduled program. Xoxo, TL
however, on deaf ears this will fall. I believe the reason there may be so many false good/bad reviews that get through is the goal of VIP on the part of the offender and the desire for titillating content on the behalf of the admin. So much nitpicking detail is made of other things here arbitrary and ambiguous rules applied in a random and capricious manner but the Fraud is overlooked.

I imagine that some providers subscribe to TER (or whatever you do to get on here), but never bother to check their profiles or see who is reviewing them.
When I saw a new review for Holly / Krissy / Angel who disappeared mid 2012 I was interested to see her back. Then did some checking to see if she was active again and nothing but crickets. Most of her links are dead and gone and I was thinking this was a fake review for sure. You have confirmed that.
Then the record shows you have seen him-- so you can each make assertions about the other, sight unseen! Given this as a starting point, seems it would be a powerful incentive to the fake reviewer to tell TER he "made a mistake" to avoid black listing. I wonder if TER has any rules on this.
Hitting the nail squarely on the head about the potential for abuse of free VIP from submitting reviews. It's supposedly a Honor System.... among horny man-whores, erm I meant "among thieves"
Hell, I'm sure there's quite a few of us gifted enough to read a few reviews for You or anyone else then fake a couple of reviews to get our quota for VIP. Not the point at all. "....sitting back and do nothing about a fake one" hehehe Actually, someone needs to lsit you back and give you a real one! ga_kosh P.S. - Rant all you need to TL. We luvz ya!

Why would two supposedly different people choose you to post a fake review at relatively the same time.? Don't want to sound like an alarmist, but it seems like there must be collusion going on here. TER would really be remiss if they don't give these guys the boot. Regarding blacklisting (which I don't know how it works), hell yeah you ladies should blacklist these guys.
Do you think the providers sometimes don't care especially if they are rating them high. A system needs to include that the provider met the client on the date with out seeing the review. Then it's posted.
That the guys are usually one of a few things- they live vicariously through other peoples sexuality. Then the total tight wad- if you can't pay you can't play dude- they figure if it is a positive review no one will notice. The worst the one who got turned down for whatever reason and writes a poor review-chicken shits.Lastly the jealous provider trying to hurt-pitiful. Many of the ladies do not read up or pay as much attention to TER and they slip through-particularly if positive. Now you TL they may have well have sent to TER HQ-Dumb Bitches.
Since I am not VIP anymore I did think about it the other day- 3 of Atlanta's top ladies in Bikinis at the Lake-Ducks may have been involved- But the Ice storm came in- figured you all wouldn't believe it. Cheers from the Lake
Feeling left out, need to renew my VIP status. If this is fake TL review month, I want to play as well, lol. Or maybe we should just schedule our long overdue date.
In seriousness, I save my money for the ladies. I don't value ter that much anymore to just pay for status. It used to have the value, but last couple of years, nah. I value the reviews, but the overall community value is not what it was several years ago. The qualifying rule actually encourages me to see ladies beyond my favorites, I think I write reasonable reviews, and I enjoy the process. If I had to pay for membership I probably would change my patterns, see fewer new ladies, probably hobby a lot less beyond the 3 or 4 I see regularly All that said, we need to connect for that drink/strip club debt settlement. Screw GaGambler, the bum never seems to come to town anymore, we can go party without him. Lol
I concur with a lot of what Advisor says. Fake reviews are poor form and it is a blight for the ladies & potentially dangerous for all of us in the hobby. Never a good situation & hopefully TER has a good process to help remove & delete those people/reviews.
When these fake reviews do happen (maybe more than I know as they are only brought to my attention when someone like TL advises the community) the idea that getting rid of Free VIP is suggested or solutioned. I am sure that free VIP is the reason fakes go up but what percentage of all non-vip reviews are fake? I'd reckon a very small sample. Like Advisor said, I am not paid VIP and I hope some of my reviews have helped other board members make decisions on who to see (or avoid). At a minimum hobbyist know the lady is not LE because a legit reviewer has reviewed. I know I have relied on many reviews over the years and am appreciative people take the time to write. If I was VIP I would probably never write reviews. There would be no need as the time to do so would not be worth it (unless in extrememe polar experiences). Bottom line: Fakes are bad and an issue. I just think the idea of limiting reviews to only paid-VIP would cause a tremendous decline in both quantity of legit reviews posted & overall participation in TER in general.
I was thinking about doing a couple of fake reviews

Terri, you're a gem! And we are lucky to have you in Atlanta.
It really does suck that people write fake reviews for a number of reasons. Unfortunately tho, it seems to be a necessary evil and I understand why TER does it this way. I would venture to guess a fairly high percentage of quality hobbyists who write genuinely factual reviews, do not pay for VIP. Whether it makes sense or not, I think if TER went to paid membership only, the review activity(good and bad) would drop significantly. And those new, fresh reviews are one of the main reasons people continue to use the site. I love the discussion boards, but I'd guess only a couple hundred people(or less) actively post on the boards in Atlanta. Whereas there are another couple thousand ATL hobbyists who use TER in the proper way, but don't want to be involved on the discussion boards. Either way, hope your fake reviews get removed!!
Unfortunately it looks like your attempt to purchase VIP membership has failed due to your card being declined. Good news is that we have several other payment options that you could try.
