Guys....like it or leave it.
Maybe TER knows that you two bump reviews on another site.
After a dozen reviews sailed thru as I submitted them, 2 of the last 3 reviews have been modified by TER, not only lowering my performance ratings but changing items like "kisses, with tongue" to "kisses, without tongue" and "incall only" to "in/out" I've submitted Problem Reports asking them to correct the profiles & ratings but TER has been very unreasonable.
My latest review of Liandra was changed from a 10 to a 9 on performance without explanation. She has several other 10's that are less graphic than mine & her only "no" is greek. Why the subjectivity?
Then, after my 2nd Problem Report, they pulled my review altogether. How did I find out? Lia told me it disappeared!!!
What other appeals are available?

TPN,
I took the time to write a nice review of Helen and it has never been posted. It met all criteria and I've had one other review posted so I know what to write. When I emailed to ask why, I got a response about my email address, etc but still no post of her review......

What is a "bumped" review?
On some Bulletin Boards when you post comments, the post creates activity thereby moving it from its current page placement to the top of the first page.
This thread is on page 2 of TER, if the software setting where set, my post would take it to the top of the 1st page.....some posters will take reviews on pages 3 and latter, and post any comment on them to bring it back to the top of the first page, looking to satisfy their ego, or to get the favorable attention of the lady.
likewise!!..morgan @ Orlando
Well tpn, your review of me is back up but now they have not only kept your 10 as a 9 but have arbitrarily removed all my other 10s, some of which have been there for months.
I just got an email from exairborne who said he rated my performance a 10 and they reduced it to a 9. What really ticks me off is I make sure I give a 10 performance and when someone I see recognizes that and posts it as such it should stand. I wish the powers that be would kindly explain your reasoning. This sucks. - Lia

well here is their answer boys. If you are not really (wonder how "really" is determined) bi, don't advertise greek or do more than one a guy at a time you can never be a 10. So you five or so guys who rated me a 10 are full of it! It's not in the eyes of the beholder. OMG - LOL
In order to keep our performance ratings consistent, we set up the following system: An escort provider may only earn up to a 7, unless she also performs the following during a session: Kisses With Tongue, Bare-Back Blow Job, Really Bi, Anal Sex, or More than One Guy. The addition of each offering will raise her score by one point. If your review doesn't already accurately reflect this rating system, we will adjust it.
I know it seems unfair and arbitrary, but if you stop and think about it there is a certain logic to their new policy.
First of all, you're getting upset about getting rated a 9 instead of a 10. C'mon, in any other reality a 9 would be a really good rating. The only reason it becomes a big deal here is because there are so many other competing providers that are given 10's (who probably deserve it much less than you). Call it grade inflation. Some guys give out 10's to any provider that doesn't rip them off. Others try to save the 10's for the providers that really deserve it. Everyone has different criteria. At least now you'll get measured against a more consistent yardstick. If you're really as good as you say you are and get knocked down one level, all those other providers will get knocked down even more. You could actually come out ahead.
Are their new criteria unfair and arbitrary? Probably, but no more so than the myriad of different criteria already being used by various posters on this board.There are a lot of providers getting 10 ratings around here. They can't possibly all be "once in a lifetime". Some of us try to rate fairly and save the 10's for the providers that really deserve it and other posters hand out 10's like so much candy. Personally, I'd have used different criteria than TER has adopted. I use the "St. Bart's GFE scale": start at 10 and subtract 1 point for each GFE component that is missing (DFK, BBBJ, no rush) and adjust it further +/- 1 point for my own personal bias. Certainly by whatever measure you use, you'd have to agree that any provider that didn't provide all 3 of those should get a 10 rating but some surely do.
Ultimately, I think it far less important to quibble about the exact criteria TER has adopted than to appreciate that they'll now be hopefully more consistent.
the baseline is a 7, add 1 point for kissing with tongue, add 1 point for BBBJ ,,, 9 is the max performance rating unless a provider does greek, is bi, or has 2 guys.
What about DATY? What about DATO? What about CIM? Why aren't points allowed for these acts?
Why do SO MANY providers have ratings of 10 who do not meet TER's own criteria? Obviously, some of their own mods use the written criteria selectively. If they "corrected" Lia's 10s to 9s out of spite due to my protest (not because of anything she did,,,she did nothing), why are SO MANY other providers' 10s allowed to stand???
Hi Liandra,
I noticed some discrepancies (not on number ratings but on my profile) and hit the problem report button and TER quickly corrected it.
Also, I recently had a bogus review posted but TER removed it after a few days.
Hope everything works out for you Lia.

I just submitted Problem Reports on 3 providers who have several 10s on performance but don't meet TERs criteria for a 10, yet they are there. Obviously, different mods use different standards than TER's printed standards.
When member's in good standing submit ratings that are modified yet there are countless ratings of other providers that are outside-the-guidelines, why should we be hassled the way TER has hassled me?
I have just canceled my membership to TER. It is not as good or accurate a source as I once thought. The loss of one membership won't be felt but if this is the way they are now treating members then I want no part of it.
Note to TER: Please don't punish Liandra for my protest. You've already gone back & changed her existing 10s to 9s, without adjusting other provider's ratings. Why should my problem with your rating method be taken out on her? It's your subjectivity that is the problem, not her.
TPN,
I enjoy reading the boards, especially the review sections; much of my time I am studying screen names to see who on the boards is credible in reviewing ladies vs. using the review boards for their own personal gain.
Your name appears quite often on 1 board with non informational posts in the review section bumping 1-2 ladies reviews. i.e. Molly / Yessina
On TER you recently wrote 2 reviews, all for the same provider using different names: Yessina, and Joslynn.
So I question your motives as to why you are so concerned with how you score the ladies, and why you think your review writing skills and assessment of your sessions should go unchecked.
Because your above actions make you less than credible read, and then you cry foul.
I would suggest you change your intention and agenda for review writing, so that it is information for the hobbyist, then a motive to satisfy an agenda or ego.
I must add you cannot fault the ladies for the actions of the hobbyist. Liandra is an excellent choice, and her performance scores are reflective.
TER, if it matters, I am aware of 1x Liandra was involved in a threesome in which she was part of the enjoyment. I do believe it was an exception, and not her norm.
I use the same name on both boards,,,I don't hide behind different names and aliases, as you do. I beg your forgiveness for the high crime of bumping a review but am flattered that you pay such close attention. Since you seem to be a tpn groupie then you're aware that in my review of Joslyn I acknowledged having seen her before, when she was with another agency using another name.
While some respectfully disagree with my opinions on various topics, you are the 1st to question my credibility. Even if I'm "guilty" of bumping 2 of the many reviews I've written on the other board by posting on them, how does that diminish my credibility? Even if I'm "guilty" of reviewing the same girl twice on TER, acknowledging the fact in my 2nd review, how does that diminish my credibility?
The only reason I "cry foul" about TER lowering my performance rating is because it is unfair to the lady & TER readers. She was my best date & my 1st & only 10 on performance, My reviews are real, accurate, & truthful. If you are who I think you are then you cannot say the same.
(I use the same name on both boards,,,I don't hide behind different names and aliases, as you do.)
I am not hiding behind any name; I call them as I see them. No aliases here, this is my one and only registered name. However, I do post on many boards and I have learned in the 26 years of hobbying to use a different name and a different email account for each board I post on.
((I beg your forgiveness for the high crime of bumping a review but am flattered that you pay such close attention. Since you seem to be a tpn groupie then you're aware that in my review of Joslyn I acknowledged having seen her before, when she was with another agency using another name))
TPN, you do not need my forgiveness, once you starting bumping reviews, I realized you were a real newbie, someone who just started out, and fell in love with a paid date. You became emotionally attached; therefore it became your agenda to impress all with your written words and loss of credibility. I would even think some of the review bumping, and writing was to get the ladies attention.
(((The only reason I "cry foul" about TER lowering my performance rating is because it is unfair to the lady & TER readers. She was my best date & my 1st & only 10 on performance, My reviews are real, accurate, & truthful. If you are who I think you are then you cannot say the same)))
Unfair, not sure if that is fair to say, TER and all other review boards are only a venue which allows each poster individually to judge the content and poster's credibility. The venue itself is only the tool used in measurement.
Now if you’re upset because you wanted to be in the good graces of Liandra, and scored her higher to bring a complimentary reply from her to you and it did not pan out as planned, I can understand your thinking of fair play.
Again, reviews are for the sole purpose of sharing information about the session, and the deliverables. It is not about a romance of month long emails, and emotionally flirting.
I will predict based upon your comments, and continued cry about fairness that you have now become a 1 woman man. No need to answer that, like I said, I read the boards for my enjoyment.
Have a very pleasant day
Reviews on the local board average about 750 views while my reviews average over 2000 views, including Molly's which was over 5500 views last time I looked. Judging by the number of views & the many affirming posts from other hobbyists, including many from those who've seen the reviewed providers, it seems the board has judged me to be credible despite your curious agenda.
BTW, since I normally don't repeat with a provider then I don't benefit from writing a review. I write reviews to inform others so they may benefit.
Thanks for your well wishes. Have a nice day.
TPN,
Doesn't surprise me, first you admit of your review bumping, then deny and try to support the fact about your screen name credibility.
Must work in the financial world, coloring numbers to suit your needs.
Board views, about a post or a review do not give any indication or serve as any evidence that lead to creditability. Also, the Molly post you talk about, I think the Board Admin closed that thread because of the continuous bumping. I could be wrong, but you posted 19 times in a review thread, and used 2 board alliances to keep the thread going, Flier123, and IdesofMarch, and later Molly herself, was this motive to elevate your ego, or ask for a pretended romance, therefore resulting in free date. LOL.
TPN, do not take it personal, I said earlier I read and study the reviews; you are just 1 of many that try to work the system. I am not your fan club, and not your conscience.
Please take care of yourself; this industry has a habit of creating vices, which harm our health, especially our physical & emotional hearts.
Go slow, and be authentic at whatever you do, and you will attract the goodness from the experience.
but please don't guess or post lies on this board.
"The Board Adnin closed the thread"??? WRONG, Mr. EE. It's alive & well and approaching 6,000 views,,,I underestimated in my previous post.
"I could be wrong but you posted 19 times in a review thread",,,WRONG AGAIN. Out of 89 posts on the Molly review thread I had 9 posts. Why do you feel you must exaggerate to make whatever point you are trying to make?
Only one of those was a "frivilous" bump, which I acknowledged when I posted to let the board know she was available, which was pertinent because of her extreme limited availability.
"2 board alliances"??? C'mon,,,conspiracy theories on an escort board? You're holding Ides banter with Molly against me,,,hmmm?
Ego? Romance? Free date? I think you attribute to me motives that are your own, Mr. EE.
If I had no credibility, my reviews wouldn't average over 2000 views. Many other reviews don't even get 500 views,,,I'm only guessing but if you've EVER written a review in your "26 years" in the hobby then yours would fall into this group. Review envy???
You've obviously become fixated with me,,,I don't know why or why it's so important to you to carry your grudge from that board onto this one?
It gets curiouser & curiouser.
TPN,
Yes I did error, you posted 18 times in that thread, Also, the review was locked and closed after Molly bumped it on September 12.
Molly's comments.
"I think this is what one would call a "BUMP" LOL
I wanted all to know that I, the sweetest thing, will be in town on Wednesday, the 21st of Sept
So call before it's too late!
As you know I do book up real fast!!!!
So, again good luck to you.
That is okay, from what I read into your post, Molly used you to promote herself, and you used review bumping trying to get a free date, which did't happen, got angry, frustrated, used another review of a girl, to get her attention.
Typical rookie stuff, and from what I read, you have now moved onto another lady, trying the same tactic. Rookie when you stop playing the system, you start enjoying it.
Stay well, this my last post is way off the point of my intitial post as to review writing, and your first post in this thread.
