Does TER read the reviews before they are posted?

I saw that and decided to pass up on a post since it has been happening alot lately. At the very least TER is not marketing their ratings system well or are very incosistent at enforcing ratings on reviews. Case in point, they let this review pass and crack down when reputable providers like Mandy or Tuzdae receive 9's or 10's.

Look closely at the next review for Veronica - it is the exact same review by the same highwheelin guy as it appears the same provider goes by two different names. This guy is either pretty smart for submitting a review for each name she goes by or it is a fake review.

Already submitted a problem report for the above. Also look at the reviews for Veronica - quite a few 8's and 9's for light DATY, CBJ, and LFK / DFK. Not sure why other than she is quite a charmer! or a bunch of self submitted fakes!

I agree with a 7. This girl is a real sweety though does have a limited menu, however YMMV depending how you treat her and if she likes you. First visit warrented a 2nd, and that was an improvement. She is at the correct price point for service. She is real and worth checking out if you are ok with the menu for the price. If she sticks with it, I think she will move up and move off CL.

I hate fake reviews, but they're easy to spot.  I think there are just too many reviews for TER to check each one.  It's up to the community to alert problems.

The reviewer (highheels something) posted two reviews, one for Angel and another for a Veronica.  They were identical reviews - every word- right down to the misspelling.  I submitted a trouble report.  Now the reviews are gone.  Go figure.

I am assuming they concluded the reviews were fake since the reviewer had no other reviews to his name. I was thinking the guy just might have submitted a review for each name she goes by.

Veronica and Angel are really the same person who goes by two different names which seems to be the norm in this biz!

which means I probably won't get a credit either.

Getting the credit is fine, but I think keeping the reviews as honest as possible and the database current and accurate is the most important thing TER has going for it - and for all of us.
