As of a few days ago, I noticed that the General Details of Reviews are again available to the public at large and not just VIPs.  

I guess the change did not have the desired impact, ie. Force non-VIP members to become VIP members.

Perhaps TER is just benevolent, eh? I think not!

I think TER made a very sound business decision in reversing the policy change.

Thank God.

This was definately not a good thing for most providers that are well reviewed and not a good time to be charging an extra fee to see scores.

Thank you TER, yey.

I thought the general details were always available. Only the APPEARANCE & PERFORMANCE ratings were removed, and still are (you need to be a VIP now to view them).

You can see the general info from the review. The part that says "I called and she answered...." but the scores (looks & perf) are still VIP only.....

The scores and juicy details remain hidden from non vip users.

The general details never went away, only the numbers for looks and performance.

The numbers should be seen. How can a NON-VIP, determine who they want to see. If a provider has a history of reviews, I feel you should be able to see the numbers as you want to get the most time and pleasure for your money. Last time I checked, its not TER's monies that are paying for the session, its the guy who is trying to have some fun. I do agree that the details should be separate but not the numbers. Just my .02

But the data is owned by TER and they can apply what ever rules they want. What they want is for you to spend some of your hobby $$ on buying a membership to see the scores.

You have to remember TER (and other sites like it) are a business and the name of the game is to make $$. So if you think the info they provide/store is valuable then pay the membership fee.

Personally, I won't pay for membership (that was the down fall of the previous most popular board). We'll see how this all plays out....
