The info on TER: links, PMs, discussion boards, and especially reviews have been tremendously helpful to me, over the years, in determining which Providers I'd see. The review info eliminates many potential surprises and disappointments and certainly prepares a Hobbiest for known menu expectations and a more comfortable and enjoyable session.
Following, what appears to be a very frustrating and growing habit among some popular Providers (in Vegas, anyway), I had a thought on scoring. We score on Appearance and Performance. Why not add scoring on Communication and Being on Time for Appointments?
Providers, rightfully, speak of this being a business and their professionalism. Let's hold them to it! In other business we would never tolerate the poor communication and tardiness that we allow in the Hobby.
Yes, Yes, Yes....I know...things happen, this doesn't apply to all and it happens to Providers, as well...but, I'd bet, a fraction as often. I'd imagine, thru screening, that Providers find out if Hobbiest have been late or stoodup others.
What are they thinking? Is it a power trip or control kinda' thing? Some even seem to be intentional about it.
Realistically, Providers will always have the upper hand thru out little heads and can get away with this kind of thing, but why? We have the platform here to address the problem and also applaud all the true Pros thru positive scoring.
I've brought this up before and been chastised for not naming the problem Provider/s. It isn't happening here either and isn't about those I've reviewed (have seen many more). This is presented as a general topic and I would appreciate the thoughts of other Hobbiests and Providers. Could this type of scoring add to the efficiency and make it all more fun?
Life does happen at times...just as you have expressed...and, to be honest, I have held a late time once myself...keeping in contact with the lovely provider as I was hopelessly lost(see my review of JORDAN-ASHLEY).
That being said, the providers who appear to make it part of their 'profile' that they are always late...well, shame on me for calling them to begin with. If I have a 7pm dinner date and the lady doesn't call or whatever, I go to plan "B" and am gone by 9pm. Some of us are in Vegas for 1-3 days and "plan" our time for relaxation accordingly. If a provider excepts the time/place for the date...doesn't show up...it burns up not just the scheduled relaxation ( read that as no frustration added to life )time but also the time it takes for short notice plan "B's".
You fly in from a different time zone, get your room, freshen up, have a dinner date planned and find out at 10pm it's a no show...or another hour...thanks for the evening...I may already have my body clock at 1am. Yeah...I think it would be a GREAT idea to have a scoring for punctuality and communication available. Just my honest opinion
Just make a point to discuss it "within" the current review system. We all know more then likely they will not be adding an additional category, so just use the current system that is available, and make mention of it. I do know plenty of gentleman do this now within their reviews.

I understand your personal frustration for tardiness and even no call/no shows. Some fact should be tested in the discussion.
You say "Why not add scoring on Communication and Being on Time for Appointments?" Yet, no understanding of the fact that use hobbyists and the providers we seek are all living on the fringes of society. That's right; throw all business rules and etiquette. Although Lorsha above touts her promptness, she is not in the majority. I certainly commend her for such traits.
If someone specific is bugging you and/or they are notoriously late, way late or some other type of late. You already know this. Accept it, or manipulate her in some manner that gets her to you on time, or just forget it and move one.
You also say “Yes, Yes, Yes....I know...things happen, this doesn't apply to all and it happens to Providers, as well...but, I'd bet, a fraction as often.” I will go out on the limb here from all my discussions over the years and would bet unanimously that THEY suffer from the no calls/no shows much, much more than we do. I just bet that is true. But on the other hand, that is part and parcel to their business and they need to figure it in, plan for it and deal with it. I suspect they do and we just do not hear of it. It provides little to no relief to plaster it on the discussion boards.
Can you imagine this board turning into posts down the line on Page 1 all about no calls/no shows? We’d all get pretty sick of it, move on and may not come back if it did not change.
You could go into all manner of complaining about the lack of business skills that a lot of providers have. To what end? Again, living on the fringes we should not expect all the business skills we are used to in REAL business in the civie world. Been there done that in business all my life. Unlike the hobby, I can choose to buy, sell, partner up or walk away and forget them because they are poor business people. We cannot hold providers to the same standards as civie life business. It would be nice, but it is wishful thinking unfortunately.
Finally, with this statement “What are they thinking? Is it a power trip or control kinda' thing? Some even seem to be intentional about it.”, I sense that you are singling out one specific provider. It may or may not be true, but why ask a question that cannot be really answered on a public board?
Sorry for the rant, but I just figured some of your post needed to be challenged.
.....the kind of response I was hoping for.
Other's thoughts even though not necessarily in agreement.
IMHO, that's what discussion boards are all about.
to raise this idea. If there are already plans to make this happen, the Board Administrator will probably tell you.
To a certain extent, timeliness is frequently covered in the better reviews and, when extreme tardiness occurs, probably plays a role in the scores given whether consciously or unconsciously.
But I certainly do not see any downside to making it an explicit scoring factor and while I would hate to see it used punitively -since tardiness is sometimes beyond their control - the ladies who are consistently on time deserve to be recognized for this.
We all fill it in on every review and it gets chucked. With a simple software change they could currently be showing "on time" as a percentage on every profile. Just like the airlines, lol. Like the airlines, I only consider them late if it's more than 15 minutes.
I could give a play by play of the appointment while I'm outing myself here, but, since quality seeker is too chicken shit to tell the WHOLE DEAL and out me, I'll out myself.
I'm the provider, not you. If I'm late to your last minute request because your first plan didn't work out. Well, then I shouldn't have gone out of my way at the last minute.
If your performance is soooo important for you- then become a provider yourself. Just put TS Quality Seeker instead of the #1. No one is reviewing you or your sexual prowess on women. When an hour appt. turns into three and you still refuse to get with the program and do your thing you become a real asshole. WTF? Not to mention the fact that all of us have a disclaimer on our sites that we get paid for our time and companionship and that's it because otherwise it's illegal. Translation: Wallet showed one hour actual time: 3 hours.
Realistically, you guys have the upper hand here cause we can't review you. Get real and screw off. You are an abusive, rude, very uncomfortable and sexually psychologically disturbed hobbyist. You don't knock on bathroom doors and then you ask me why I'm running the water in here for so long??? What type of shit is that? WTF? Didn't know you stiffed me to pay the Hotel's water bill this month. Then you physically attempt to block me from the bathroom, retrieving my belongings and trying to leave all the while apologizing? Score this....
Ashley Jade
Keeping in my usual fashion.
Thanks for saving me the trouble of having to post on the provider's board as well. I know you would be the back channeling type and I prefer to just cut to the chase.
Ashley Jade
Love to the rest of you.

After taking Ashley, Annie Oakley, target shooting one day, Spinner and I both came to that conclusion when she said that she was pretending that the target was someone that had pissed her off. Needless to say, the lower portion of the target was riddled with bullet holes, strategicley placed. Nuff said right Spinner?
Oh now, it's not ALL target's crotches that are pretend people/men that I unload the clip on. It's only liars and those who purposely hurt others for their own self validation. If none of that applies to you, Annie Oakley just boils down to a fairly decent shot. 
Right Spinner and Sarge? I'm not a big bully man hater. I'm a small statured hater of only men that aren't real men.
xo
....So, I'll rephrase.
The topic is a generalization w/o specifics not intended to OUT or Backchannel anyone.
Ashley, I hadn't planned on a review or mentioning the session to others, feeling that you've had some resent problems and were not your normal self then. I had hoped that patiently listening to 2 hours of your challenges might be of some comfort.
And, please check your wallet, I gave you over the 1 hour donation when you first arrived. Why do I not feel quilty for your choice to stay longer than paid for.
Look, I'm a peaceful guy and not here for drama or fighting. I've been around more than my share of that in the past. Isn't this all supposed to be about pleasure and fun?
Ashley, I like you and I believe that you are a good Provider.
Not funny like a clown either. Funny as in a little light in the loafers. IE: Gay as in attracted to the same sex. NOT happy gay. That said, I will proceed.
Unfortunately, for you, I am not a dumbass and denial accompanied by talking in circles while contradicting yourself does not need re-phrasing. Once again, you leave me no choice other than to call bullshit on you. This is not fun for me and this is the last I will say of your BS. What is clear is that you are inept at spelling and rephrasing the lameness with more bad spelling isn't helping you clarify a thing. Write a review. Absolutely. However, I don't allow false or untrue reviews on my profile. Problem report material. FYI. Nor do I care for carefully veiled threats. Nice try. Nevertheless, you had better get up a little earlier in the morning if you are trying to get one over on anyone in a passive/aggressive fashion. Especially someone like me.
Now, if you don't feel guilty (NOT "quilty") for "my choice" (I wish. I SHOULD be less professional than I am apparently. By the way, you are welcome.)to stay over the time period, then you shouldn't have to start a double standard thread about upholding providers to some new asinine scoring system due to their "power tripping" unprofessionalism etc. etc. You are a flat out idiot for thinking that the general public who reads this board isn't bright enough to understand that your thread ISN'T a sweeping generalization. To quote yourself, " I've brought this up before and been chastised for not naming the problem Provider/s. It isn't happening here either and isn't about those I've reviewed (have seen many more). This is presented as a general topic and I would appreciate the thoughts of other Hobbiests and Providers." God, you are work that isn't worth the energy I feel compelled to put into this. It’s “Hobbyists” NOT “Hobbiests” The glaring fact here is that you say, "It isn't happening here either."
Ha. Kills me. Translation: something or someone (provider) prompted your thread. However, you being the fantastic honorable man that you are, you won't out the provider this time either. How commendable of you. Then, as you proceed to go out of your way, to say that it isn't about any of your whopping 7 reviews and HAVE to add that you've seen many more. Don't want anyone to think you aren't the man here right? God forbid. LMFAO.
Then, you completely bust yourself with, "Ashley, I hadn't planned on a review or mentioning the session to others, feeling that you've had some resent problems and were not your normal self then. I had hoped that patiently listening to 2 hours of your challenges might be of some comfort." SOOOOO, this was NOT A GENERAL TOPIC BROUGHT UP FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES. Retarded to say the very least. I have no "resent" problems. You are a virtual stranger to me and don't know a damn thing about me or any of my supposed recent problems. NOT "resent" problems. I NEVER COLLECT THE DONATION AT THE BEGINNING OF A SESSION. Anyone and everyone who has ever seen me will call me correct to the bone on that one. I collect it when I leave. Half the time I forget and have to be reminded by the hobbyist, many times I've left without it and mostly I have to ask for it's location on my way out. Liar. Other providers may think that I'm a bimbo for this, however, I don't care what other's think of the way I conduct my finances, nor is that the topic being discussed by me here and lied about by yourself. A genuine person who is aware of the fact that there is ALWAYS a bigger picture other than the all too common "Me, myself and I picture" doesn’t really give two shits about the finite un-evolved concerns and ego issues like yours. I hate to tell you this , but, that IS my normal self. I may be an outspoken asshole, but I’m consistent.
As if allowing you to waste my time the other evening wasn't enough, I'm allowing you to do it again. I am done.
Quality Seeker, I do NOT like you and already know I am a good provider. Thanks though, really. I would have self esteem issues had you not said that. WOW.
Love-
Ashley Jade (The anticipation of my upcoming review is just almost too much!!!!!!!!!)
........I do have a spelling handicap.
Never imagined what my compliment on your fiestiness might lead to.
“Once you realize you have lost the battle, it is best to have learned and let yourself only pick your fights right in the future.”
My friend, this one liner continuance will not stop the train wreck, it only fuels the fire.
Let’s keep this Orange Blossom Special a movin on down the line… lol
so many times i want to just have balls/brawn .. No ashley is ALL woman and obvious beauty.. yet someone handed this beauty brains and brawn.. ps I bet you look hot in ur new volvo babykakes!!
i promise not to snore on you !! (private joke) i hope that makes u giggle.. from dawg to dawg!!!
There are really two issues here: One having to do with no-shows or late arrivers, the other having to do with failing to respond at all to a request for an appointment. Unfortunately, when a provider habitually ignores requests for appointments, there is no way to make that part of a review - because no visit ever happened.
This has become a real frustration of mine because some of the most highly rated providers here in Vegas seem to habitually ignore requests for appointments, and because my own schedule has only a few narrow windows of time in which I can meet someone. So I ask two or three providers for appointments, perhaps a week in advance, and by the time I realize that none of them are going to respond, it's too late to find anyone that I'll be happy with.
I wish there were some way to tally up the frequency of "ignored appointment requests" for each provider and include that in some kind of a "reliability score."
If I was in your position, I'd A) try sending out more requests to more ladies farther in advance and B) try to figure out a regular or two who you could set a clock by and is more than happy to take your money, and exclusively use them on your tight schedule- trying to book Hot New Girl Flavor of the Week in the situation you are in is a recipe for disappointment. It's not too hard to find out who the people are who are prompt in replying to email/phone and can work with tight schedules, if you read reviews and the posts on the Vegas board.
The idea about "ignored appointment requests" is kind of bad, by the way- if you'd think about it for a bit, you'd see how it could be abused, and why there are very good reasons for ladies to politely ignore certain requests. Not that yours deserved to be ignored, since I don't know you nor who you were trying to book with, so I'm not casting aspersions- but I am saying that what you are proposing is problematic and likely to lead to lots of he said/she said, as well as other problems.
You raise good points. Unfortunately.
