See my most recent review of Grace. I rated her a 10 in performance and she deserves it. I even mentioned BBBJ. The approver changed it to an 8.

then 8 would be the max. Have you read the review guidelines?

The basic score for sex is a maximum of 7.  If you received DFK and BBBJ, each increases the max store by one point.  You only mentioned BBBJ, not DFK, so your max for Grace is an 8.   All reviews are moderated to make sure the content supports the score.  If you had added DFK, they would have changed it to a 9.

You can try what I did in my last review for Ellie (TER #347769) at LSC.

Which I wouldn't mind if a) moderators were transparent about changes they made to your review (why can't they not approve it in the first place and tell you what needs to be addressed rather than changing it after approval?) and b) other approved reviews weren't 10s.

you where you have to click at the bottom that you "agree" explains the scoring rules BEFORE you go to the review template.  If you click you agree, they have a right to assume you read it.  Its a contract between you and TER.  Do you normally sign contracts without reading them?  They are going to assume no one does.  If you didn't follow the scoring rules, they will make the score comply with the content of your review.  If you got DFK and failed to put it in the review, that's on YOU, not them, and hurts the girl accordingly by lowering her average.  For guys that think a 6 is "above average", its a moot point. If the problem is your ad link, they will give it back to you for correction, and it will stay on your review list in edit format until you either supply a good link or die of old age.

you are given a page with the Guidelines for submitting reviews. In that page, which you apparently just clicked through, you will find Section 8:

I understand the guidelines, but I assume there are those who don't, in which case, they'd be better served by being informed about any changes that need to be made pre-approval, redundant as they may be. Thinking your scoring range is from 1 to 8 would surely change your scoring as compared to thinking it's from 1 to 10. This aside, I think it more worrying that scores might be changed after approval. I could be missing it, but I didn't see that mentioned in the guidelines. Some of my reviews have been approved within the hour so surely the mods have time to mention issues that need to be addressed before approval.

you submit a review that fully follows the rules.  The narrative content must match the score.  If it doesn't they will correct YOUR mistake.  I have not had any of mine corrected.  I read the rules BEFFORE submitting reviews here because I had written 400+ reviews on another site before TER and I correctly assumed the rules would be different.  There is a suggestion board if you want to suggestions to TER about changing their rules or policies.  

First, lets level set on what the rules are. You start with a MAX score of 7 (the same as the max for the MP girls). From there, if certain acts are included you may add 1 additional point for each of the act, up to a maximum of 10 IF you think the additional acts merit the bump (most do).

he either 1) made an honest mistake and forgot he did something with the girl that would have been worth another point, or 2) he would have added false content to increase her score artificially.  The fact that TER already stepped in saves him from himself in case he was even considering number 2, and he therefore retains both his personal integrity and review credibility, whether that was his ultimate intention or not.   Lol

hey jenses, yep, you're right, I see I failed to mention DFK, oh well. Lesson learned!

I had this happen to me when I first start reviewing girls here. My answer is if I knew that 10 will be the highest I would grade some girls lower than 8.

This is what I was referring to. Don't know how much it actually happens though.

ydk

I merely was talking about my reviews and how not knowing the range impacted my few initial reviews. Then, I obviously adjusted.  

People actually read the guidelines before posting, which they may not be bothered to do, just want VIP credit, etc. If they don't their max score is a 10.

Not at all.

Be sure to search Newbie, General, Suggestion & Policy, and now K-Girl for "X-out-of-Y" scoring.  Basically, 7-out-of-7 is a top score. I have had some FANTASTIC 7-out-of-7s and 8-out-of-8s. 7-out-of-10 is meh.  
.
And now back to our regularly scheduled posting ...

I did read the guidelines. However, I never thought they'd be enforced AFTER the review was submitted. Meaning, I thought this is how you're supposed to grade, but you still can assign grades. Or you would limited by the system inside the review, ie you don't check 'anal', it would then not allow you to submit a review with 10 as a grade.  

A provider merely had to have anal listed on her menu, and you could give her a 10, so a lot of the indies were scamming the system by saying its available  on a YMMV basis, but then, 50 reviews later, not a single reviewer claims to have actually received anal.  Meanwhile, some of these girls had 10-10's for most of their review scores.  About 3 years ago, TER changed the requirements so that you score is based on what services you actually received during the session, not what she claimed  was "available."  This is when the mods started correcting review scores when the content did not line up with the scores given by the reviewer.  

You're working on the MAMAPOTY award pretty hard.

I am also thinking that Jensen's MAMA award may be getting some legs to it with a clear frontrunner to boot.

I'm surprised most people seem to be alright with TER changing scores after, rather than before, approval. I would think that would defeat the purpose of approval.

None of us know when the review is approved but I suspect it is only approved AFTER the invalid score is reduced to the maximum allowed based on the information provided by the reviewer.

Dude, yes, I figured it out months ago. I'm not saying fuck the rules. I merely stated my opinion. And also offering some solution, such as user input validation pre review submission that forces you to lower your grade.  

I read the guidelines, and then tried out if I could give 10 and it let me. With no input validation I figured the guidelines were not enforced, and it was a surprise to me when they were, indeed, enforced and not just you know, guidelines.  

I remember you doing the same.

I clearly asked you to confirm what you were clearly indicating: That you read the guidelines and then submitted a review knowing that you were not following them. Your answer appears to be Yes, "I read them and then ignored them." So it doesn't seem to be me that is accusing you of anything, merely pointing out what you have now said at least twice.

It was pretty funny having the most notorious and blatant misreader on TER say “”Seriously, dude. Do you even read my posts?”

We can just call it the RocketBoy award.  

Let me clarify - in this thread, you clearly said that I did not read the guidelines. You accused me of not reading them.

One thing that I will say is that I always try to give out a score in the body of the review. This way, if a monger does read my review, he can clearly see what my grade was even if its not a 8 9 or 10 by TER scoring.  

I stand corrected. I gave you the benefit of the doubt however many posts before my post you responded to. My bad.

I have quit being so fucking kind in recent weeks as nothing I try to teach you seems to stick.

Exactly. You did explain it months ago, kindly. And after you had, I never had any issues with it. I was expanding on how it appeared to me before you have explained it, and that it was unclear which guidelines were being enforced and when.

I only went halfway up the page of this thread before making my post, when I went all the way up the page YES you did say that it was unclear to you "before" I explained it to you, so my bad.

with the review is that you added up the score wrong, they have no reason to hold off approval if they correct the erroneous score.  If you don't have a qualifying ad link, then they will return it to you unapproved to allow you to correct the link.  That is a research issue, not a math calculation, so they are not equipped to go find the girl and post the correct ad link.  Likewise, if you give juicy details in the general section, you will get it back for editing.  

I think it odd that they changed his score or posted a different score. When my scoring is 'off' they will reject the review and give me the opportunity to revise it. The vast majority of the time my score is higher than the services offered in my review. Many of those times TER isn't reading my whole post and its buried in the review. Just like college days, so I list them separately from the review looks and services part of your review in a separate line to avoid the dreaded "review rejected". So, three separate sections

You've certainly been around long enough to know I think. However based on your comment you STILL don't know the requirements.

about three years ago.  I explained the reason for the change in another post on this thread.  I know you're been here awhile, but maybe you were not aware of the changes about the time of the switch to the beta version.

Personally, I'm glad to see this being done. Too many mongers are afraid of what might "happen" to them if they don't post a perfect score. As if the orgs have the capability to connect a TER handle to their phone number.

Jensen, well dammit you are right. My old age and senility are kicking-in. That is my story and I'm sticking to it. My 10 scores on performance are older than 3 years old. Also, thinking I'm confusing looks with performance scores. I haven't given out a 10 performance for a while (more than 3 years).

Yeah, I have no idea, I rarely remember these things and rules are guidelines in my world. .   You are correct, CDL. I did some digging in my reviews and you and Jensen are correct. Anyway, I pretty much get the 'revise your review and we'll adjust the score' memo a lot. (or used to) So, in general, try to lay it out for TER if I'm giving a higher score so it doesn't come back with the dreaded rejection letter. I just haven't experienced the adjusted score by TER Admin happen to me.

I suspect most of us are in that age boat with you.

to me, but I was just lucky because I didn't try to give any 10's after the change until someone PM'd me about a score change in their review. Every girl I see gives DFK and BBBJ, so they are eligible for a max of 9.  I don't do doubles anymore because Kgirls are not "Bi" enough, and I only do anal with Thai girls who I see when I'm traveling oversees to Europe or China.  

I never really thought about it, When I'm in Europe I never see K-girls or Asian girls for that matter. I guess since I'm in Europe I like the Dutch/German girls or Eastern Bloc girls. Although, the Russians and Eastern girls are a bit 'cold'. Best set of tits I've ever experienced were on a Persian. They were naturally massive, DDs, and firm torpedoes that stood up on their own. I still think about her. Chinese girls are fun, I enjoy them. I've been thinking of moving to Thailand. Dirt cheap and you can live like a King. Its just that Thai girls don't do it for me, I'm thinking its the short legs.  

And, I suspect like in the Philippines, a number of non-Asian women tour there as part of a working vacation to enjoy the beaches and low costs for very nice accommodations.
