1. Reviews are for "entertainment", you may never know if they are real but you can get an idea from the reviewer's history or consistency of multiple reviews. 2. Providers can only have reviews removed under certain circumstances - A friend's review removed because the provider claimed it was fake, asked him for details and when he didn't reply she used it as evidence it was fake. 3. Bad reviews are not always replaced by good ones - I begged to have my review removed or upgraded because a provider was threatening me - no help, it's not your property once you submit. 4. High ratings have become the norm - just accept. 5. TER is the ultimate decision maker about what posts - don't try to reason why obvious BS can make it and honest reviews (in your mind) don't - I've had reviews not approved for random or untrue (in my mind) reasons - it happens. 6. More ladies don't post because evil trolls blast them. 7. Profiles can be updated by sending a note for browny points. Party on bro!

#7   You can use the REPORT A PROBLEM link to send an email to the admins with corrected information.   I recently sent an email providing an updated rates menu for a provider who had changed her menu and pricing structure.

I would suggest, if you choose to do something like this you are brief yet complete in your information and provide a quick explanation of where your corrected information came from.

On subjective attributes, I think you may be ignored... like, I am not sure they are going to address breast appearance or build unless you have a radical change and can provide some proof.

1.  The more reviews you read, the more experience you get at figuring out which ones are real.  Obviously you know about your reviews.  Beyond that, there are a lot of factors in deciding whether or not you will believe a review or not.
2.  I've never heard of a limit but I'd think at some point TER would get tired and suspicious of someone who keeps wanting reviews removed and from what I've heard it's not that easy without clear evidence to get TER to take one down.
3.  It doesn't happen that way.
4.  Review inflation has been a problem for some years.    But I'd expect most reviews to be above average; a provider who has a bunch of lower than average reviews won't keep getting visits from hobbyists on TER.  Of course, some providers are quite good at re-inventing themselves when they get too many bad reviews.
5.  Ask TER.  They make those decisions and their decisions can be puzzling and inconsistent.
6.  Some have no interest.  Some used but disliked the atmosphere on the board and quit.
7. The first reviewer sets all fields in a provider's profile.  After that, it takes a problem report to request a value be changed but TER may or may not accept the request and may or may not tell you why.  Also, at least some of the time a provider can have the value in a field not be able to be changed by a hobbyist's problem report.
