I posted a reveiw it was on for one day now its gone?????????

Keith -

There is one review by you for April 2002 for the delectable Ms. Tuzdae. It doesn't show up here, but rather it is in the reviews section.

I don't run this Board, but I know the Moderator would not delete any message capriciously.

I "spoke" too soon. I tried to read your review, and got some kind of error message. Odd.

At this point, though, I would ascribe it to computer gremlins, or maybe Bill Gates (is that redundant?), rather than to some moderator intervention. We are actually a pretty friendly crew here - mainly refugees from a much less friendly place.

The review was on misty.  It was on the board for one day than it was taking off??   I didn't rip the lady I just said we didn't click????  I thought the board was for ALL reviews!!! as long as they weren't too mean???  maybe I'm wrong????

Hmmmm ...

That does not sound right. The Board should accept any review, negative or positive, as long as it is fair and reasonably credible.

FWIW, when I first joined TER, I submitted a negative review, and they never put it up at all. Never got back to me as to why, etc. That was the beginning and the end of me posting reviews here. I don't know if your experience is similar, or if it just a computer glitch, built-in delay, etc. If the review was actually deleted simply because it was negative, that is not a good thing.

My own review of Misty, were I to write one, would be very positive. But, as you say, sometimes people don't "click," and a well-written review, positive or negative, can help a guy decide if he is likely to click with a Lady or not.

Hi Keith..dunno what happened with your review but you can check on your account and view the reviews that you've submitted and see what they have the status of that review marked as.  I've also posted a review that wasn't glowing of another provider but it is still up there, so I know those are not going to be automatically taken down.  So maybe there are other reasons.  I'd check on your account for the review status and then if you still have questions write the admin at [email protected] to find out more.

Maybe others can learn from this?  I remember a post like this on TBD once and the provider said about the same thing.  

TER takes 100's of reviews daily and obviously something was wrong with it if it was taken down.  I'm sure if you email TER, you'll get your answer.  Or... just go read the rules of reviewing a provider.  

I get excellent reviews, one bad review would only show that I am not a robot and can't "perform" for EVERYONE.  I'm actually surprised at this, you didn't tell me you were unhappy.  As a matter of fact, you told me I was awesome.  What happened from 2 weeks ago to now I have no idea.   You even referred a friend to me.  What's up Keith?

To respond to us not clicking: Yes, YMMV is definitely the answer.
1. Bad Hygiene plays a role
2. Trying to eek as much time OVER what you book is rude.  No lady likes to be manipulated.
3. Spending time gossiping about other ladies is a turnoff.

As far as giving you another chance, I'd rather give the proceeds to the poor lady who had to sit and listen to you for 4 hours, to only see 100.00 in her envelope when you left.  I'm guessing this is what a lady has to do to make you happy.

Would this be the robot with the deluxe high speed chip to make the bunny adaptable for speed and comfort?  Or the one that uses the 9-volt that only makes the cotton tail wiggle a little bit?

Misty's reviews are pretty uniformly positive, as I recall, and she has lots of them, some of which are from frequesnt posters. TER may question reviews that fall outside of an establshed pattern, especially coming from a first-time poster.

Also, I can't say without reading your review myself, but of course the reviews have to be within TER's rules. It is OK to be negative - indeed in some cases it is necessary to be - but some degree of respect / decorum is still required. Not sure if this was an issue with your post, but I suggest reading both the TER rules and a number of positive and negative posts, to get an idea of what is acceptable.

I think it's time to invest in everready stock :P

Uh oh...does that mean I need to save my hot air for an inflatable GFE?  

I have nothing against misty, I just posted my reveiw it was there for one day, now its gone. I said I nice time with her but not a great time, It was just my reveiw, I see I'm being talk about by her,  That's ok there just words!!  Everyone has a opinion  Keith

Well said Mountaineer.

I just wanted to add that I had an entirely false review posted recently by someone I never met. (You'd think they'd at least get the rates/my height right from my website.) TER was very accommodating to work with on having it removed.

So any provider, if she dosen't like a reveiw,  can have it taking off the board, thank you for answering my guestion!!

Please READ what Sugar wrote. Her "reviewer" did not even get simple facts about her right in his review. She claimed he had not even seen her, and his being off base on such elementary matters support her claim. TER grants 15 days of free membership for each review accepted. This is reasonable, in that it rewards those who provide content.

It is, unfortunately, a motive for people to post fake reviews for no reason other than to get free access. TER has to look out for this in order to keep their review database in good shape.

There are plenty of other motivations for false reviews, too. Self-promotion by providers or their friends, character assassination by competitors or by clients upset for whatever reason, and malicious posts by Junior-High-Schoolers of all ages.

Reviews like Sugar's, that seem to have simple facts wrong, or (perhaps?) like yours, which seem to be at odds with an established pattern, are suspect for this reason. As the Moderator suggests, you should write to TER staff to understand why your review was deleted, rather than posting unfounded speculation on this Board

My hunch is that you still need to mail your question to the site admin.  I recall the review that Sugar is mentioning and it definitely is not accurate in the weight description of her making it appear to be a false review or perhaps actually a review of someone else but attributed to Sugar.  So that would mean that it wasn't removed because of being unfavorable, but removed for simply being wrong.

I'm glad to see that playing favoritism for providers has been proved not to be an isolated event for a certain message board.  Obviously people here like Misty so no negative reviews will ever stick around long.

Again, I strongly recommend that review questions be directed to Staff via email. You may also check the status of your reviews sent in by going to the Account Manager in the VIP section.

No, providers cannot have negative reviews removed unless there is something written in the review that is false and can somehow be substantiated. Again, email Staff if you want particulars.

Boy do you have it wrong.

I don't know if you have been reading the posts, but NONE of us have any say over which reviews are posted or not.  I have seen negative reviews of very popular escorts on TER.  

I think it has been made clear that if false information is in reviews, they might be removed, but I don't think they are removed for simply having low ratings.

I think Misty gets a lot of good reviews because she is good.  I have never seen her, but I know guys who have and they liked her a lot.

Get over it boys and girls, everything isn't a conspiracy.  The black helicopters are safe on the ground.

Ouch.  Well, he asked for it.

By the way, I once posted a *positive* review to TER (before becoming a paid member for one month that has stretched into 4 months) and I see it never made to the review section.  Oh well.

Like everyone here has said, the site administrators control the reviews, not the escorts, not the moderators, and certainly not us other yahoos who post our opinions.

Get over it, move on, and scrub a little harder before appointments.  

No... I'm merely saying that false reviews, if proven, are removed. (So just try to be truthful and fair.)

I see very few clients a month. It was simple figuring out that the review posted was false. I'm sure getting 15 days free had something to do with the false review...

Since I've heard talk about adding reviews of hobbyists (not sure if it's this board or another site), how do the hobbyists feel about being reviewed by providers?

I think that's where mutual discretion comes in... and unless they do something horrible, I'd prefer not to discuss clients without their prior consent.

I just appreciate being treated the same as a provider, and have been fortunate enough to see only gentlemen so far. Due to my regular career and personal preference, I only see a few gentlemen each month, and have no need or desire to market myself with various review sites. I'm content with what is posted on my website and occasionally providing a reference to someone skeptical.

A familiar quote comes to mind for me, "Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see."

As in most businesses, I think that in general, the buyer should not be "reviewed." I write reviews of products and services I buy - the sellers do not write reviews about me (except for creditworthiness). Obviously, serious misbehavior of any sort should be brought to the attention of other providers, both for their own protection and to let guys know that they cannot step outside the bounds of acceptable behavior.

If someone is physically or verbally abusive, dangerous, indiscreet, or fails to pay the agreed fee, I think all of those are fair game. If a client is "undesirable" (hygiene, personality, etc.), that is a gray area. Everyone has different standards - I know cases where some Ladies will absolutely refuse to see a guy, while others shrug their shoulders and say: "What's the problem?" I guess as long as the "review" sticks to the facts, it's fair.

The one huge problem is that while Ladies need to have a known and at least somewhat public identity to succeed in this business, the Gents can and often do crave anonymity. They can shift names, "handles," and e-mail addresses with ease, and can even fake other things without oo much effort. Publicizing real names, addresses, employers, etc. for clients, even amongst just the Ladies, is a giant step.

If this is overdone, even perfectly good clients will start to get the heebie-jeebies about providing screening information. A guy may share screening information (often reluctantly) with one reputable Lady. But if he has to worry that she will post it in a semi-public place if she doesn't like his cologne or something, that may scare him off completely.

Personal information and provider referrals are two ways for a Lady to protect herself, but there will always be a tradeoff between the Lady's need for safety and the Gent's need for discretion. It will always be this way as long as the puritanical idiots who control our legal system persist in defining an act between two consenting adults as a crime.

In the extreme cases mentioned above, however, I do strongly support the Ladies informing one another about the "bad seeds" out there. I hope that competition among the Ladies NEVER supercedes a willingness to help each other stay safe.

Personally, I wouldn't mind being reviewed as a client. I'm just that good.  

Something I wouldn't want is a review available to *everyone*. I think that a client review resource that was accessible by the ladies only would be a ripping good idea, but I just wouldn't want every Rod, Dick, and Harry knowing that a certain part of my anatomy was SO big.

Then again, I stopped reviewing the ladies some time ago. Most of the ladies that I have seen are pretty well covered already, and frankly, what goes on between one of my lady friends and I is best maintained on a personal level.

Of course, if she asks for a review, I'm willing to oblige.

Very well said my friend....I just hope that everyone can take
something positive from your post.  There is enough trouble in this world without bring negative shit to this board.
