Giselle - you've been here long enough to know that only admin has the power to remove reviews.  Now, if you used the Contact Us tab and admin has not responded at all, well that is not cool on their part.  They need to get on the ball and investigate the issue.  Keep pestering them until you get a response.

The person in question is well known on the NBL and is a plague in the community.  Why TER has not banned this person is beyond me.  Guys should not believe any of the reviews this person has written.

Any right minded hobbyist will look @ your review history..

Hi Giselle,

... from legit reviewers & consider the source of the non- legit review!!  You have a solid rep & I don't think that one review will affect your business!!

There are legal ramifications involved here as usual.  Many of the old timers here might remember this and I am not by any means a lawyer but here is the jist of it.....

There is another board in existence that is similar to TER and is national and I actually think international as well.  Well, years ago they found them selves in a court in Florida and either the State or Federal government was trying to shut them down and the board won in court and is still up and running today.  Many of the people on here are originally from that board and probably remember what I am talking about.

Here is it all in a nutshell..... TER provides a forum for us to exercise our freedom of speech.  In providing this forum, they are permitted to put some governing rules in place.  There is a very, very thin line for them to avoid crossing when it comes to controlling our speech or the government can come in and try to shut them down.

There is not a shortage of reviews to be read by the members!

Also, everyone should remember that not everyone that reads this board is a veteran here.  I notice many times that new people on here are often shunned and yelled at for not knowing all the things we didnt know when we first got here.  

Finally, I hate to burst anybodies bubble here but there are far more people who are members of TER and never read the board than members that do.  I mean, do you really think TER makes millions off the 30-40-50 or even 100 members who post on the boards in Chicago, New York, LA, Dallas etc and pay 250 a year for membership?  Think about it....how many regular posters are there in Chicago?  Do the math.  If you combined all the regular posters in all the cities in the United States and came up with a thousand (good luck) that is 250,000 dollars a year and how many get free memberships?  HELLO

Most of the people that have memberships use TER to simply search reviews....period!  They give a rats ass about what we are talking about....LOL!  

concur.

I just wrote a review about a provider I saw who advertises three different rate packages but the advertisement doesn't describe what the difference is. I discovered the difference during the session, was a little let down I was disovering it at the time. I included that in the review so others would know. the provider told TER I included "personal" information in the review that I had to edit.

I followed the rules in the review about the numbers, I guess that is how some are propped up with high numbers.

Any giselle you're awesome and gorgeous, have a great rep here and i'd love to book with you sometime.

What I find to be funny is point fifteen of the guide line to posting a review: "We consider all reviews to be fictional stories that are posted by TER solely for entertainment purposes." I realize the reasoning behind it, but it seems to encourage reviews to post untruthful reviews.

It claims a service Giselle does not provide It is not someting I have interest in but many guys obviously do and seek out ladies that will accomodate this act.
These dudes are going to read the false review get excited and book with Giselle with great anticipation and expectation. When the service is not provided some will be pissed....not at the idiot reviewer but at Giselle. They might even interprut her refusal to comly as a personal rejection.  Just one more lady rejecting them! And you never know how they might react.

Simply put...the lady claims the review to be bogus and the contents of that review might actually place her in danger. Admin should pull it immediately.

Most guys will read more than one review before scheduling to see someone they have not met before. That way you can weed out the fake reviewers who only want a free TER membership. Notice he only has two reviews which just so happens to be the minimum required to have free access to the members area.

A lot of guys will actually review the reviewer for creditability before taking the review into consideration. For instance checking the number of reviews written, how long he's been reviewing, looking to see if the performances stated are similar or consistent with other reviews already written. In other words members doing their homework as its been said here so many times before so as not have any unreal expectations based on fake or faulty reviews.

I can understand your concern Giselle but if a guy can't take the time to read a website and do a little research before scheduling then that's not your fault its his. I think you did the best thing that can be done by calling him out, next to admin pulling the review which should be done promptly if they cross reference your previous reviews and realize something's not quite consistent with this one.

I agree, but I don't think it was just the Greek in the conventional way.

She's drawn more attention to some alleged 'handiwork' than this review ever would have gotten if she stuck to the proper channels to have it removed.

But. That doesn't surprise me with this one.
