yesterday, I relayed your concerns to the powers that be.  I haven't heard back yet, but will let you know when I do.

Often, I notice that a provider will be reviewed with different sets of reviewers.  There are two things at work: 1) reviewers who radically depart from a provider's existing reviews and specs, entering their own and 2) TER admins who refuse to reconcile the reviews when it's pointed out to them.

Right now, Sisi from availablepink in NYC has 2 sets of reviews.  I have not reported this as a 'problem' because I have done this in the past with another provider and the problem report was rejected.  

I would think it would reduce confusion if a provider only had one set of reviews, not 2 or 3.  So what's the policy on this?

Just last week I noticed a provider in my local area had a long list of reviews with her name spelled one way, and had a new review/profile recently added that spells her name slightly different. The phone number on each profile was different, but the ad address (no website) was the same. I submitted the problem to TER, and the two profiles were combined.

Why TER approves some reports and disapproves others is beyond me, but I know from experience that when you report a duplicate profile and set of reviews for a single provider, TER will combine them if they agree with you that it is indeed the same lady.

As long as they can verify for a fact it is indeed it is the same lady. If they cannot verify for sure then they won't, which to me is cool, would be pretty bad if they combined two different ladies together, I think the ladies would be alot more upset over a mistake like that than the former, so I would not blame them for being cautious.

and ask them to look into it... if it IS a set of dupes, they will combine...  sometimes that can happen with misspelled names, new phone numbers etc.

Thanks for all your responses, but, as I've said in my post, staff is not always responsive.  below is a link to another reviewer here who has had the same experience I had.

Send an email to [email protected].  Be sure to include links to all of the profiles that need to be combined.

I hope this helps,
