Hmmm,yesterday I couldn't decide on my next choice via the performance rating because it turned into VIP ONLY.Today I can't figure out if I'd like to see my next choice because now the appearance rating is also VIP.So much for this site.Good luck everybody.I'm done.

Uh, you could just pay $20 for VIP.

Um, sure, but that's good for just 30 days... for a lot of us, the $180 a year is too much.  I'm guessing you'll see a lot more fake reviews, and a lot more CL type girls who are very happy you can no longer see their numbers.  It's TER site to do what they please, but I am definitely bummed out.

Here's an idea.  There is still open access to the "General Details" section (a wonderful oxymoron, BTW).  Reviewers could actually use that space to provide details about looks, and give a quick review of the session, i.e. What was her personality like, Did you like the session or not, Was it easy or difficult to set up the meeting, etc.  In other words, use the "General Details" section for what it has always been meant for.  No more of the "I was horny so I called her up usual two-call system met me at the door wearing a negligee we went in and... VIPs read on" reviews.

IMHO if you can afford the hobby - you can afford the price of the best review board there is. They own a business - a decent one and if I owned it making a profit would be my goal. If you are paying providers than relatively speaking 180 for a year is not a terrible deal.
I am not a shill - just a long term member. If it was pay only then all the reviews would be real.....  (Just my opinon - not looking for flames).

at $250-$800/hr then $180 a year to make sure you are getting what you REALLY want is not a bad deal at all. That's like saying you want to order a $30 Filet Mignon at a nice upscale restaurant but have a problem paying $5 to the valet guy, (well maybe not but you get my drift)
Its a BUSINESS, they dont run this entire site for the fun of it. I for one think EVERYONE sholud be a paying customer jsut to access the site, but thats just my opinion =)

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

I agree.. if you are playing in the hobby even at a modest pace, the $180 is a solid investment but... they have not developed a way to pay them "more" anonymously. BTW.. mailing the international money order does not work. They have developed mobile apps and are running tweeter accounts but can't perfect the art of receiving a payment.

Maybe they will enlighten us over the next few weeks??

Soup kitchen?

great idea but 1)the reviews are moderated and 2) this is an open forum so, even if they hadn't thought about partially censoring the reviews that were using a work-around, they are now...

Good points, but keep in mind the content here is generated for free by readers.  So it makes sense to give some of it away to those writers for free ( the writers being fiction writers unless you believe American men are all well-endowed and always get escorts off with terrifc tongue techniques!)

There are other free escort review services that are growing in size. Many of us will probably shoot elsewhere unless TER rethinks this a bit.

Better idea is to look at the number of reviews. A provider with pages of reviews must have pleased all the VIPs who read them and posted their own. A provider with only one or two, and a scathing account of the experience, is one for a newcomer to avoid anyway - let the old salts take one for the team. If TER is considering striking out phrases like "would not repeat" from the general-readership text, then they have just slipped on the slope of making all review info VIP-only.

As I understand the current rules, as long as you don't include VIP information in the General Details (price, intimate details, numerical ratings), you will not be censored.  And there is valuable information, as I said in my previous post, that can be included.

Of course it is their playground, so they can always change the rules whenever they wish.

I'm sorry, I just don't see the problem.  VIP is way cheaper than even one SPOILED DATE.  I can't afford to hobby a lot, but I sure can"t afford to get ripped off (again) & have not been since joining TER and yes, buying (VIP).  

If you really had to save money, you could build up a bucket list over one month, say save the information somewhere secure (like a drafts folder on your secure private e-mail...  You do have a private e-mail, right?)  When your bucket is empty, get another month VIP.  

Good Luck to you kz1,
