I've recently seen a provider in the Top 5 of Boston. I anticipated a great session, however my experience was rather mediocre and disappointing. I don't review poor sessions because not only are they rare, but I'd rather focus on the good times. However, what I didn't like is that she threatened to blacklist me with my full legal name if I didn't give her a 10/10, so I decided not to review her at all.
I never dealt with this type of situation before what should I do?

1) Write the review anyway.  Her threat of blacklisting you probably carries very little weight, especially if you have other providers that will vouch for you.

Please do write a review of that companion and share your actual experience; you don't need to disclose who she is and she earns the scores that she deserves and it might not be 10/10, or it might be.

Never done it myself but spoke to enough hobbyists who said that they either traded high TER ratings for discounts or were pressured or even threatened to write good reviews or else and did so.  

It is possible to get consecutive 10/10's, and I often cross check the reviewers' other reviews and companions previously met.  

I don't think it's worth the drama to get my legal name on a blacklist especially since I'm married, but I'm willing warn those interested in knowing who she is, if they PM me.

Providers who do this is what makes my employment verification process for newbies hard and intimidating.  

I also only give good reviews and avoid giving bad ones and never TOFTT. I find that more providers are interested in having you post good reviews now, where in the past they didn't care as much.  I think the numbers we give are inflated and that this top five or top ten is very crowded at the top because we created it.  With out those numbers we would read more closely and expect less.  With the numbers we expect more and get less.  My reviews are high but only account for 25 percent of who I see, but their accurate.  The rest don't deserve a review, or wouldn't want an honest one.  The providers are all aware of the cat fights that exist at the top.  They try to screw one another, hack files gossip etc.  They are just like the rest of us, good, bad, and opportunistic.  If I was you I'd stay the hell out of it.  You've likely stirred more than you wanted to already.  I struggle with wanting to write mediocre reviews because I don't expect to hit off with everyone I see, but to be threatened that's bullshit.

You owe it to yourself to rat her out.

I've asked for reviews in about 2 cases, after long periods with no reviews. Anyone who's ever seen me knows I literally don't mention them at any time whatsoever. I've definitely never threatened anyone and yet still only get 9s and 10s.

Sorry this is happening to you.. If it is the same provider I am thinking of she was reported to TER multiple times, but without "proof" TER couldn't do anything about it. Some of us in the community are trying to ignore said provider and maybe things will calm down but that's not so easily done when your personal information is at risk.

I am having my doubts about your claim since you have no reviews or white list.

The OP is using an alias  to protect his handle and reviews.

Giving out a provider's name without any back up is just plain wrong.

If she's really threatening you to out you. YoU should just report what's going on to Ter. My guess is that this provider has done that before and TER probably knows about this provider. Maybe with your help TER can delist this ripoff.

Something to hide yourself ??

Well if he has email or texts from the provider he has proof of her threat.  

I'm a newbie in Boston and I'm following the advice of some of more experienced hobbyists to see well reviewed ladies until I get more comfortable seeing newer providers. I know that any hobbyist-provider interaction is going to have risks involved, but your post makes me a bit weary about the whole review system, especially when I feel like I'm trying my best to put forth honest reviews. I'm sorry to hear about your experience and I'm respectfully requesting the name of the provider via PM so I can avoid her at all costs. Thanks for your help and good luck with future dates.

Have done it many times.  Also, I sent OP a PM but have yet to hear back...

This is a very true situation. However, it suprise me that a Top 5 provider would do this to a client, assuming all his claims are speaking of the truth. It reminder all of us that try to avoid of using your legal last name as much as possible.  

Your offer to PM the name is a good way to start.  It may be easy to judge how valid the claim is based on what we already know about the provider.  If it is a provider with a lot of 10/10's your claim would seem valid.  Other's who have seen the same woman could vouch for or against.

Some wrinkles to consider, given that literally within last month or so multiple top ranked ladies had been delisted by TER due to alleged fishing for 10/10 reviews, and now this

It's definitely possible. We've seen providers, usually more established local ones, who for one reason or the other get crossed with other, usually newer, provider and soon after there is an anonymous post claiming that the newer provider does or did something sinister.  

What are you so afraid of ??????

He would validate himself thru his PMs.  That is why I asked how many PMs he has replied to.
 

You are absolutely correct that we won't know for sure, looking at this thread in isolation.

[Edited] I wasn't sure what you meant by validate ... I sent a PM to wolfofsteel (presumably an alias) using my alias, and got a reply from wolfofsteel, which I assumed was an alias.  I'm assuming that when I send a PM that way, the recipient doesn't have my real handle, and I still don't have theirs.  So, I can't validate whether they are a hobbyist or not.

Well balling you do make a good point, we don't know know if you are a hobbyest or a provider hiding behind this alias.

You are exactly correct and what you said proved my point! If we don't know for sure Wolfofsteel is hobbyist or companion, then whatever that had been shared by Wolfofsteel is just BS. That had not been the view many folks had taken as the anchoring effect was so strong that it had been written as if Wolfofsteel had been a hobbyist.

You don't need to see a list of reviews.  A short conversation will suffice.

Nice to see that you agree with me !!!!:

If you have a no review policy that's fine.  But if you do in fact write reviews using an alias, you're being a bit hypocritical calling out other people for using aliases.  Just asking, that's all.

Not concerned about if the crap I have said is branded BS, just wanted to share an angle most might have overlooked; getting it right after the result is announced ain't much use

I use to about 8 years ago but I give up that handle and started this one.
