First, let me say, I am using an alias because either this question has been asked/answered before and/or I am too lazy to search out the answer on the FAQ Newbies board. Either way, I would rather not unmask my laziness and/or stupidity.

In reading the reviews for various providers, I have read about services offered in the VIP section of the review. However, often in the profile for this provider are the words "Don't Know" for those services. If I am conducting a search, say, for a provider who offers a certain service (e.g. anal, rimming, etc.), the search will omit a number of providers who offer such delights because the initial reviewer put "Don't Know" for that particular activity. It is only through reading numerous reviews that I can get a complete picture of what a provider actually provides.

Is it the provider's responsibility to update her profile? If so, ladies you would do yourselves a favor by checking your profiles for accuracy. Anyway, I am just curious as to how profiles are updated and rendered more helpful to members.

"Don't know" just means exactly that.  It means the reviewer doesn't know if the provider gives such services.  If you don't ask, they don't tell.  If you don't attempt DATY, then how do you know if they allow it or not?  So you select, "Don't know" when you do a review.  

These are REVIEWS, mr. short sword, not self promotions.  Providers can't make changes on the reviews, so they can't "update" them.  Sure, they can complain about a review and maybe TER will address it, but providers can't just change info on reviews, that defeats the entire purpose of TER.  Turn on the light in your peewee brain.  Click!  At least you used an alias! Have a nice day!

How does an inaccurate profile benefit anyone? If a provider performs a certain service but the box for that particular service is listed as "Don't Know," the provider doesn't benefit nor does the TER member. It would be in everyone's interest if profiles could be updated for accuracy. Obviously, you are too angry or too drunk to understand...pour yourself another.

It appears at the top of every profile. I filled one out the other day after seeing a lady. I changed the hourly rate and one service that was unknown to "yes"  However, you must prove your case satisfactory to TER,.

It's the first reviewer that sets the profile.  Like the man says, try problem report feature and maybe TER will update.

If you want an accurate age you need to see when she had her first review and add from that date.
 Nothing against the experienced ladies, I prefer the 35 and up crew myself.
