Lazy or shady? neither. Just an extra step I'm not willing to take. We all protect ourselves whatever way we see fit. There was no reason for you to assume and attack.

I recommend you contact TER admin through "contact us" and ask what's wrong with your ad or PM the moderator of the ad board you are trying to post it on. I hope you are able to get an answer. Though I won't be interested in your ad.

I do not know why your registration form is an issue preventing your ad from being posted, you will have to ask the mod of the board where you want to post it.  I have never had this situation on the regional board that I moderate.  While it's true, you can organize your site in any manner you deem appropriate, I just think the registration form is a turn-off to a large number of potential clients for you.  

The way I read your comments above, we have to be screened just to see your website?  Since you don't have any reviews, how are prospective clients supposed to know anything about you if they don't register on your site?  You don't even indicate where you are, so how would anyone know if you are convenient to them in location?  We can't even see a picture of you to determine whether or not we might want to see you, again without registering.

I resent being called lazy and shady, I think that was totally uncalled for.  If that's your attitude towards those of us that choose not to jump thru your hoops, I'm not sure I would want to see you anyway.   According to your newest post you have not even been providing for 2 years, that's not very long, IMHO.  The only accessible info on your website is basically useless unless we register on your site.  However, you are free to conduct your business any way you see fit.

I know you are probably upset with some of the comments on this thread, but guys are looking for the easy way to contact providers, and don't always have the time to fill out lengthy forms, especially just to see a website.  Lots of guys won't even use contact forms the many providers put on their sites to screen for a possible date, so the likelihood of them filling yours out just to see your website is even less.

I'm not upset at all by any of the comments. That is the point of these types of boards. Now, to just answer a few questions. I actually do have a couple of reviews up on TER, I just didn't care enough to link them to my account. TER is not my way of attracting clients. It's more of an outlet. If I have questions, if I want to know what's going on etc. I thought this was more of a welcoming site for hobbyists and providers alike. I have been in the business for almost 2 years like I said. I started out with an agency here in Ma which is where I met 2 or 3 of my still loyal friends. I never asked for any opinions on my website, any help running it or anything of the sort. I tried posting a provider ad, thinking I had met all requirements, since it was not my first time trying, and yet again am going in circles.... Now. if you were to google miss dalia minxx, you would have abs no problem finding out exactly what you need to know about me. It is not my fault some people out there are computer illiterate or too LAZY to do so. This is exactly what PROVIDERS MUST do to ensure their safety and verify their clients. I must say, TER is turning into more of a HOBBYIST friendly website. Even though they clearly try to thank and welcome PROVIDERS for joining and acknowledging the fact that there would be no HOBBYIST without the PROVIDER....
