Hi everyone,

Ever since TER changed the policy of non VIP's being able to read the scores and general details, the fake reviews have gotten out of control.

It seems like every few days I have to put in a problem report.

The latest review of Angelica was so obviously fake I actually had to laugh when I read it.(She showed up at his house in jeans and did a cbj. come on now.) The guy wasn't even smart enough to look at my website first to see that we only offer incall. His last review was written over a year ago so you know he is trying to gain VIP.

My question is to you guys. When deciding who to see do you read the full review then compare it to the ladies other reviews or just take a quick look at the latest one? Also do you look at the guys other reviews and dates he wrote them?

XOXO,
Jill

I read at least the first page of reviews if available

Always compare all reviews.everyone has different opinions.

I generally read every review that a lady has.  I also check the reviewer if he gives her a review that seems grossly out of character from the others.

Jill,

I use an approach like scoring an figure skating competition.  I throw out some of the 9's and 10's and lowest scores to get a truer picture.  Some guys overstate their prowess and others are never happy/complain about everything.  So having at least 8-10 reviews helps get an accurate reflection of an escort in my opinion.

Plus I look for names I've seen over the years, maturelover, skippah, kzrb, that have more weight than other reviewers.

On a related note, any idea why Kelli still has no reviews up yet?

I generally look for reviews by reviewers that I can recognize and respect for integrity and balance (based on past reviews) even if they are somewhat dated.  It is far easier to make a value judgment of such reviews than others.

I agree with Jill. The last review of Angelica makes no sense. Angelica, for the record, is one of the best out there.

I have no idea why she has no reviews up. maybe you can go see her and write one.

I agree with kk. I only look at reviews from reputable reviewers.

Yes! You nailed it kk. If a few well known hobbyists give the seal of approval then it's a pretty safe bet.

Doesn't look like she is on the schedule the rest of this week, will she be in next week?

Well, I try to read as many as I can so I get a good indication of what to expect.  Certainly, positive or negative trends in the newer reviews carry more weight.

I don't always read them all, it depends how many there are. I always read the worst ones, and check that reviewers history to put it in perspective. I always read those by reviewers that I recognize. And I always ignore those (good OR bad) that do not fit with the general body of reviews.

It sure seems like there should be a better system for filtering reviews, but I for one have no clue what that system is...

I definitely check multiple reviews, and I always check the reviewer's history, too. My unasked-for advice to guys new to the business is to check the reviewer's history to see if he's fishy.

Does ter mgmt warn or ban guys for fake reviews? This one looks pretty obvious, to me. Providers get banned for self posting, but what about guys with bogus reviews?

I know it is difficult for mgmt to keep up on all of this, but it is important to msaintain and improve the integrity of the board. More integrity equals more value to all those that use it.

Thanks Jill for bringing this out more into the open.

I check trends - someone who has posted one or two reviews  - I take it for what it's worth.  There are also some "hard graders" and "easy A's" out there, so checking the reviewers history is the best way to get a good idea of what to expect.  You can also tell from a reviewers history if he likes the same type of women - e.g., spinners, BBW, etc.  I have spotted some obvious fakes - I guess I didn't know I could report them.

I would think that one of the core values of TER is the reviews. If those are bogus/invalid, where does that leave us?

It is also completely true that you can damage a girl's rep by putting in bad reviews. If you had two girls to choose between, and one had 8/9's, with great reviews, and the other had 8/9's, but a few 4/5's mixed in, which would you pick?

Well if this is true, I just have really bad luck, I just submitted two reviews and they didn’t make the grade, "unapproved". The encounter most absolutely took place; one of them was accully with one of Jill’s girls. (Who was great bye the way). And yes I submitted review to upgrade my membership.  I figured I got turned down so I would have to pay for the upgrade, I have submitted 19 reviews in the last 5 years.  I do not have the funds to be more then a part-time hobbyist, once a month is about my average, I have only had 7 out the 19 approved. I figure that they didn’t approve so I would pay to up grade as I have done in the pass.  So at least in my case they seem to be a bit picky, or maybe I just writing is not up to par. Don’t mean to disagree with Jill, just what has happen to me.

I read a bunch of reviews and look if the author has seen girls I have seen and has a similar opinion. At RS if Jill says they are GFE, you don't have to worry.

I read them all, figuring that some guys will "grade easy" so long as the lady treats themm halfway decently, and some guys will give an a "thumbs-down" to any lady who happens to be at less than their best on a given day. What I look for are a few reviews, good or bad, at the extremes, because that's where it seems that the most reliable details are found: if let's say three guys out of ten rate an Indy lady "4" for performance, I'd probably not call that lady, as much as I know it's possible that those 3 guys might have been unreasonable. On more than one occasion I've taken the "average" of the ratings and visited a lady, and it usually turns out that the negative ratings were not unjustified. Since attitude means as much to me as a lady's cuteness, any lady with an erratic mood gives me concern that once the roses are handed over, the smile will disappear and the timer starts running.

Except that: "We are now accepting new clients, however only a select few of the ladies will see a new client." Kelli isn't one of them.

And (I've mentioned this elsewhere), some guys are also independent and, while they can provide references from other providers, they can't provide employer contact info as there is none to provide.

(Do I have enough "provide"s in that sentence?)

I read all the reviews and review the "reviewer" when their review is significantly different than the others

I don't play all that much, so I select potential dates with care.  Frankly, while there is a certain thrill to the first time...  I find that repeats with those whom I click with are better sex.  Sooo, I read the complete reviews on the whole last page.  I don't let one high or low review disqualify an otherwise interesting prospect.  I look to see if why the review is OFF.  (Bad Day, No Chemistry or out of character...  can be the client's fault too.  And that's if they are all real.)  
I do skip prospects whose reviews often have wide swings...  perhaps they only click with certain types & I'm no male model these days!  

If there is a fake review on your profile, I do wish you'd file a problem report on it.  It hurts all of us.

If a lady only has a couple of reviews I check the reviewer's history.

I look especially for the numbe rof reviews they have written, but also the types of girls, esp if they ALL seem to work for the same agency. (I see this  one a lot - which makes me think the agency is giving out freebies for reviews).

GG

I DEFINITELY take everything in to account when seeing someone for the first time. I read at least the first few pages of reviews, DEFINITELY look at the person righting the reviews "body of work" i.e. other reviews and if there are any major swings one way or another or just get a "feeling" good, bad or indiferent then I make my decision.  But it is ABSOLUTELY clear that some guys don't write true reviews and have actually read reviews listed right after each other that were near duplicate reviews.  All in all when seeing someone the first time it pays to do your "homework".
