LadyDiane, New England area, has two new reviews, both reviewers have only one review each.  Both of these review read just alike as they were written by the same person.  Sounds like an advertising scam to me.  My .02

It disturbs me when a reviewer (or poster) is questioned because of their limited or as yet non-existent history. Yes, unfortunately false reviews sometimes get through. When I see a new review go up with "9's" or "10's", I always am more suspicious when it is an "orphan" review. However, I don't think it's fair to publicly question someone.

If you have further evidence, (even if you detected similarities in the writting style) submit a problem report via the lady's profile and ask TER to look into it.

Thirsty, Certainly we must all question what doesn't make sense to us and LadyDiane's reviews didn't make senses to me.  I'd certainly like to have posted more reviews but the majority of providers in upstate NY don't have web sites so my other reviews are in TER limbo.  I think it would give your position more validity if you read LadyDiane's reviews and called me on the fact that they don't seem similar to you if that was your analysis, now that would be productive.

Did you even read what I wrote? I don't care if the reviews that you are questioning are exact duplicates. It is irrelevant whether or not the reviews you questioned are real. I'm asking you to report this to TER via a Problem Report rather than publicly question the validity of the reviews. Let TER decide if they are self-posted.

I'm sorry if you think that my reviews are fake...why?  Both gentleman are dear to me, and I'm new, is that why?  I thought this was a nice place, guess I won't be paying for a membership with thoughts like that!  Thanks Thirsty for coming to my defense...Check out the other site boards, they've posted there also, and informed me they did.  I thanked them!
Lady Diane

I'm new to this board, and to these sites.  I guess what I'm trying to say is that if this is what happens when someone gets a good review, I'd hate to see a bad one.  Lady Di is an awesome person, and would never 'cheat'  Geez she is a sweetie, I see the 'kitties' are out!  I think I'll reserve my comments for better sites!

Welcome Lady Diane!!!!!

Don't worry Diane, stick around, mostly everyone is nice.

Re:Welcome Lady Diane!!!!!

Thank you Never....I thought most people were nice, guess I was wrong...I know my clients like me...and I'm NOT IN NY...so I guess I'm safe!

Re:I just want to say Welcome, LadyDiane

WOW...Thank you all for the warm welcome.  I'm sure glad I decided to come back again.  Only one other time I can't talk, and we won't get into that. lol  Hope my stay here will get even better!

Re:Welcome Lady Diane!!!!!

can you tell me the significance of your ``I'm not in NY ... so I guess I'm safe'' comment (NY is a great place and like any other place, i.e. big city, bad things happen) - just curious if this is a general statement (and why ?).

I just want to say that it seems to me that this is just getting blown out of proportion.  As Thirsty has stated this is probably not the best way for the original poster to voice his concerns.  And it seems to me that he may have added flame to the fire for not acknowledging this.  However, I do empathize with his premise - as a hobbyist when I look at reviews (before possibly wasting, from my perspective, a significant budget) I would be suspicious if I saw two reviews that I believed were from the same person but under 2 different names.

Of course, most people are nice (I believe) and to say this guy is not nice (I take his original post, however misguided, as an effort to ``warn'' other hobbyist) seems to be as unfair as his original post (though his intentions are apparently sincere).

My 2 cents (sorry it's late and my late night cocktail is kicking in - No, I'm not on crack)

they are right, sometimes they are wrong.  Overtimes, the truth will come out.  There are Bait & Switch and Rip-Off agencies posted false reviews on their ladies and was later exposed.  So please don't get too upset about a bit of skeptism on a new review by an unknown reviewer.

The tough scrutiny by members of TER on reviews are what makes the genuine reviews valuable.  That is why many hobbyists have stronger faith on TER reviews than those listed in other review sites.

TER is a hobbyist oriented reviewed site.  It might be a bit jarring on a new lady who is used to the more lady friendier site.  However, it is the hobbyists who pay the bill.  JMHO, TER is more beneficial to a lady in the long run than other places.

Please be patient and let other members deal with this matter.  Most members in TER are fair minded, especially the moderators.

In times, if the performance is consistent and pictures real, more reviews will be posted to confirm the earlier one.

Take care and have peace.
