Hello all! How does one go about deleting their profile?
I've dealt with graphic (legally liable) reviews, exaggerated reviews and even fake reviews. I just don't think it's in my best interest to continue to be a member of the review community, unfortunately. How do I delete?????
The "recommended way" is to contact Admin and politely ask to be delisted
A much faster and more effective way to get yourself delisted is to announce a "no review policy" on your ads/website, then file a problem report on yourself and voila, you'll be delisted in no time.

If you read the boards, you know how many of us TERers read and use the Reviews and Profiles. Many of us start our searches on TER (Ad Boards, Recent Reviews, Review Search) and only then do we look at Ads and Websites. Some start with their favorite ad site or ad mall but then look for a TER Profile before making contact.
.
Regardless of what is said, graphically or not, we are also reading between the lines just to get an idea if we can expect to have a good time or if it will be an hour of grief and disappointment.

I have no idea if Reviews are usable as evidence in any sort of legal setting. They are officially works of fiction, you know. Also, TER is in Europe, beyond the subpoena power of US law. It's clear that Reviews are bothering you, but is it -10 annoying or -2 annoying? Is your Profile and excellent review history not a boon to your business? +10 boon or +2 boon?
.
If you want to delist, you contact Admin ("Contact Us" link at the bottom of almost every page) and ask them to take down your Profile. You'll need the usual credentials to prove that you are you: PM from your TER account and, if you use email, use the email account linked to your TER account or Profile or both. If you want to re-list and restore your Profile, you'll have to prove that you are you the same way: don't close your accounts or lose your passwords.

Good luck!

If a provider has a no review policy she will automatically be delisted. As GaG said, that is the quickest way to get delisted. Right now you sort of have such a policy, but I would call that a "no review suggestion." Here are the words from your website:
"I ask that you refrain from discussing the details of our encounters on public forums or review boards"
No review policy=automatic delisting.
Other providers have been tempted to leave a "scorched Earth" legacy when they leave TER, with a bunch of "fuck you's" that can't easily be taken back if you ever decide to change your mind about being listed here.
I too urge to think long and hard before leaving here. I understand reviews in general seem a bit intrusive and fake reviews in particular must leave you feeling violated, BUT you have great reviews and I can't help but believe your reviews are at least partially responsible for a lot of guys contacting you. There are a LOT of providers to who I would simply advise "don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out" but you seem to be a quality provider who goes quietly about her business of making guys happy. I think it would be our loss and yours if you decide to leave us. The decision of course is yours, but personally I'd like to see you stay, and I am one of, if not the BIGGEST assholes on TER. lol
Whatever you decide, I am sure I speak for many here when I wish you nothing but good fortune.
Ma'am,
Once you have thought this through and identified your issues and concerns, consider exploring a few workarounds or mitigation strategies. For example, say one of your key concerns is your safety. Maybe you feel that a reviewer mentioned services that you don't provide. There are several ways that other ladies have worked around that issue that could be considered. Can you sufficiently eliminate or mitigate risk and give yourself piece of mind?-- Modified on 9/17/2017 6:22:07 PM
Don't burn your bridges!
Within the past year or so, a couple of well-known Chicago ladies have delisted.... and then have later returned. I don't know any of the details or circumstances, just that they asked to be delisted but are now back.
So it is possible to change your mind, assuming you didn't go out in a blaze of glory.
