Strongly disagree with this statement: "They certainly don't balk at posting bad reviews."

They most certainly do, they are picky as hell when you wanna dish out unpleasant facts. But if you want to blow sunshine up everyones ass, they don't critique that at all.

They have tried to make me rewrite bad reviews so frequently that I have ceased trying to write them. They want shit sugar coated, even for the worst of the worst. Fuck it, not worth the trouble.

That has been going on since TER's inception. As long as there is a free VIP available, it will never cease. IMO they should 86 the free VIP to restore a little credibility around here. $30/month is nothing compared to the $300/hr guys drop on pussy.

has anyone noticed that the reveiws are sometimes way off? could it be because TER raised there quarterly and yearly fees so much that some people are submiting reviews that are bogus?

TER gives the same credit for a review whether it's good or bad.  They certainly don't balk at posting bad reviews.  Why do you believe the credit would motivate  guys to lie?  

There are a couple guys who, my perception, routinely give glowing reviews to ladies who thereafter get resoundingly panned, or at least get very erratic marks.  I give them no weight in doing my research.  

On the other hand, I just gave a glowing first review to a lady who richly deserved it. She wanted the review and knew I was going to write one.  Did that make her give me a better experience than others will get?  I don't think so, but I'll watch with interest as more reviews accrue.

maybe they haven't even seen the provider and want the 15 days for the review.

Sometimes reviews are written by pimps. Just read some of them and you will pick up on the same writing style. These days, pimps use many different handles and ladies, so you may want to wait until the lady has 6 or more reviews.
Best advice is not to see a lady unless she has been seen by an active and well-known  FS hobbyist.

Pimps get away with it because they'll use different computers.
Otherwise admin catches on right away.

My laptop cost me 200 bucks. What the fuck is your point?

first off admin does check IP down to the computer used, its not that hard to change it so it looks like someone elsSo of course pimps will write a fake review or several fake reviews for their girls. Sooner or later fakes get busted out either by admin or seasoned members
With the way things are going I can totally understand why one would only trust veteran hobbyists .
if you're spending $200 on a laptop you must be a bargain hunter too then huh.

There are always a number of review that are often very different from the other reviews; a lot of time they are fakes posted, as others have noted, either to get free VIP or to try and make girl sound better than she actually is.

I recommend looking at the review history of the reviewers; that can often tell you a great deal about how good their reviews are.  Find some reviewers whom you consider reliable and whose tastes seem similar to your and things become a lot easier.

That after a girl gets a justifiable bad review (often after many others of the same kind) that there is almost always a "come back review" (most likely by the provider or her pimp) praising all of her wonderfulness especially all of the things that many other reviewers ripped her for and giving very high scores, usually always from an alias mmm?.  I would never see a girl with that kind of thing in her reviews.

Although the number of bad reviews ive written is pretty low, I have never had TER challenge them.
