You see a new review for a "new" gal & recognize her as the delisted provider. You report to TER expecting they will combine the two profiles. TER declines telling you for the safety of the provider the profiles will not be combined. Under such circumstances would TER's response be acceptable to you?

so respect her decision.

If I was a gentleman, I would have no problem with that and the reviews not being combined, especially if it was concerning a providers safety of them and their family.

The way you phrase your post I am suspecting you find it unacceptable. It's difficult to formulate an informed opinion without a bit more detail, which again by your phrasing seems to not be forthcoming. Am I correct in my assumption that you won't be telling us all who this delisted provider is and why another provider brought this to you to bring to all of us?  You've piqued our interest. Can we have the full story so we can fire off our opinions?  As you leave it I would tend to say unacceptable.

If she's concerned about her family's safety why is she out providing again?  Do we give talon's BP rip off chick a new identity when she gets out of prison in 10-15 yrs?  She'll probably be concerned for her safety too.

You noticed something.
You brought it to the attention of TER.
TER responded with their rationale for the decision they made.

encouraging people to speculate. but it's tough to make an informed decision without all the information.

You want to protect one provider(for safety reasons) and expose another provider( who delisted for safety reasons).... We obviously are not being told the whole story, but to me that is nothing but hypocracy. I suggest you think this over carefully.

circumstances. Ironically, she still needed a pay check, so she changed her name but still provided, notified TER, and they still exposed her by merging the two identities and reviews IF a hobbyist catches and reports her.

After wading through your pool of condescension I believe I see your point, even if i don't agree. I don't understand why TER would allow a provider's info to be removed in the first place, that mysterious process known as delisting.  TER reviews and profiles and board postings are all a wealth of information...which you, as a proud only see well reviewed TER ladies hobbiest, should want available to the end of time so you can make your informed opinion. What could possibly cause jeopardy to a providers safety that would be found on a TER profile and her board posts?  If its that serious then why start providing again?

As with the initial post by the tone of your post I get the feeling you think it's not the right thing to merge the two profiles.  Unfortunately without knowing the provider involved we are left to speculate. With that in mind I think the profiles should be merged. Anyone can claim anything from I'm in danger to my dog ate my password to rationalize why they deserve a new profile. Fact is I would bet most of the time the request is more self serving to the provider and TER should say no.  

Nice alias.  A real profile in courage.

And maybe I'm wrong, what if this is hypothetical.
 Meaning maybe it hasn't even happened someone could be in danger of say getting outed or maybe an incall has been breached or stalking or something similar or all the above.
 I really don't know personally but maybe this provider is trying to get a feel for people's opinions. It's a good thing to keep in mind that it's not always something like getting ripped off maybe the provider would miss the sex and sheer fun of providing yet to possibly have her self & or incall outed would be dangerous for all, including any visitors. So maybe it's something like that.  
      I don't know but I don't think this is a real situation it seems to be more of a poll, in which case I think a discussion is perfectly reasonable. I also think it's a very unique problem and I wish I had some helpful advice.

...it was the right thing to do to not combine her new identity with her old one. I presume that if she had a history of ripoffs or B&S or other dangerous and unacceptable behavior that they wouldn't allow it. I wouldn't dwell on it and I would let it go.

If the provider can make a case to TER to delist her old profile and come back under a new one under the circumstances you describe then they won't resurrect the old profile.  It wouldn't bother me at all.

On occasion, a provider runs across someone who is not as they appear.  I have a gf who stopped providing because of a stalker who was posting her personal information and home address online along with other worse things.  

Into the valley of death
Rode the six-hundred

You know, an attention seeking white knight attempting to come to the "rescue" of a provider and earning your white knighthood in the process and then giving yourself a nice chest bump.

oozing out of every orifice...

I'd hope they don't link the two profiles together.
Unless they're a ROB or doing other dangerous activities I don't see any problems with how TER is doing their jobs.

Tried and True
Oldie, but a goodi

I think the OP was asking in a hypothetical way for a provider friend of his, I don't know personally what he challenges are, but like you said if she chooses to delist , create a new name and start fresh earning new reviews, I see no reason it would be a problem for anyone, especially when the provider is a quality gal and not a rip off or one with a bad rep. JMHO

there should be an exception to the rule.
