TER says that it is a list of clients that you personally vouch for.  It is akin to a recommendation.

I agree.  I am VERY selective about who I have on mine.  I have Whitelisted people who have not asked for it, based on the fact that our times together were safe and they were wonderful people I feel my colleagues would be treated well by.

Kind regards,

For some reason, I've never requested a White List referral - not sure why.  I know several ladies would be happy to provide one.

Is it a huge "plus" for providers?

I'm not an expert but know this has been discussed frequently on the General Board.  You might get a broad spectrum of answers there.  From what I've read, the importance of a White Listing varies among providers, but it sure couldn't hurt.  I've been White Listed by one provider but did not ask for it.  I think a "provider OK" on P411 or a "We've Met" on Date-Check are just as good, but I'm still kinda new at this.  Good luck!

As others have said, if you give someone a whitelist referral, you are essetially vouching for them and giving them a recommendation.

Some ladies will do one without being asked if the gentlemen is extremely nice, some won't do so unles asked.  Just because you are asked doesn't mean you should give one.  If the gent wasn't someone you would give a good recommendation for if asked, then don't do a whitelist.

I've had some ladies ask for recommendations, but also contact those who have whitelisted me for additional info.

If you give a whitelist to everyone, then it means nothing coming from you.

Only TER member Indies can give out WLR. I heard that there was so many Agencies being busted that they stopped letting them give WLR's because they had instances of LE coercing the agencies to give WLR's to LE as part of plea agreements.
It's a B/S system and should not exist. I had to ditch my old handle because a few providers would not give me an appointment because they complained that my WLR ratio was to low. I was told by a few providers that I had to many reviews and not enough WLR's to justify my reviews! I am a member of date-check, rs2k and have references and would still hear this B/S. I believe the WLR gets in the way of reviews. I believe if you write a bad review, she will not "knight" you. I am forced to write about only my best experiences in the hobby!
LETS LEAVE THE REFERALL BUSINESS TO DATE-CHECK.

I have never asked for one but really appreciate it and it has helped me with TER listed providers who accept as a referral of sorts.

I have quite a few White List Referrals.  I have never requested a lady to do this for me. But I am appreciative as I know it has helped with the verification process more than once. And I've assumed it might be of comfort to a lady when considering my appt request to see multiple endorsements.   I've never thought of it as a reward nor has it ever occured to me to request a 'listing",  but it does please me to see one pop up as I assume it means the lady enjoyed her time with me as I did with her.  My question to you Cara or anyone who cares to respond , is...Do multiple White List Referrals influence your decision to book with a gent?  Do they  ease the verification process?

Like listing positive reviews of the ladies we have enjoyed spending time with, why should you not reserve the white listing for your best clients only?  Being white-listed should be a privilege that's earned...
