Also, I've had posts rejected because it "sounds like an ad". Even if I just asked about restaurants and tourist sites. I can't post a pic of myself and my friends and say we had lunch. It sounds like an ad. I can't tell people about an upcoming event because it sounds like an ad. What can I talk about that doesn't sound like self promotion? Let's see... sure is hot today.
But posting any kind of pic that includes yourself has ALWAYS been considered an ad post.
As for posting threADs, that has always been an art form that is determined by the mood of the moderator that particular day. Asking about restaurants and tourist sites, along with hotels etc used to be a common way of making a threAD, but Admin decided to discourage those kind of threADs quite some time ago and started redirecting such posts to the travel board, and since FOSTA/SESTA it appears they don't even allow them there anymore.
I can't tell you if things are going to get better or if they will get worse, but just like the weather all I can promise you is that current policy will change, all we can do is "hope" it changes for the better.
But I think most of us are no longer posting here because even though we moved to Canada they took down our reviews anyway. I've been paying for VIP for 12 years and last week my reviews came down. I have been building a reputation for so long on here just to have it stripped away.
I’m pretty bummed my reviews are gone as well. Over the years I’ve noticed less gentleman willing to participate in reviewing. Round 2 having to start all over again gives me anxiety thinking about it lol
Here is what I would suggest for all TER providers with a board presence who have lost their reviews due to FOSTA/SESTA
TER is obviously no longer the resource it once was, but "some" presence here is better than none. The Photo Board is still a way to let TER members know you are still around and you can link your website to your other board posts. Now it's a bummer that there are virtually no TER reviews remaining for women that provide in the US, but it you at least "had" reviews that will show when someone clicks on your name, that combined with a few posts here and there that showcase your personality will give you at least more credibility than a woman with no TER presences whatsoever. Prospective clients can still view all your board posts to get an idea about you and I personally would be much more willing to risk seeing a woman with almost 150 board posts over a five year period, with or without reviews I can actually see than I would a completely unknown provider that I stumbled across on SWITTER/TWITTER. The two things I would be pretty sure of are number one, the chances of you being LE are pretty much ZERO, as are the chances of you being a ROB and still sticking around here for five years under the same name.
No, TER is nothing like it used to be, but for guys and girls willing to read between the lines it can still be a useful resource.
