I understand that it takes 10 reviews to get access to that board and I'm well on my way to that number but my question is if I started only reviewing under my alias from this point forward, would those reviews count towards that access?  The last provider I visited with pointed out that my handle is the same as other real life handles I have for other sites so I don't want to use that anymore if possible.

I guess either they let me in cuz I'm just very special  

BTW the RO board is kind of sleepy, loaded with complainers and reminds me of the Titanic.

ask admin about it.  I have never done a review with my alias, so I can't help you.

is change your handle to something you don't use in your RL.

The answer to your question is yes. Reviews under your alias and your handle both count towards your ten reviews. As hiddenhills said, you also must have a posting history to gain access to the RO board.

TER is pretty strict with their rules especially when it comes to who's allowed access to RO board.  

Even though the reviews themselves are no longer attached to your handle, your white lists are however.

As for the RO board, not much to see, and sorry DA, but it still leaks like a seive, just ask MacLeaky.

and yes, I think I am the only guy ever allowed access to the RO board with zero reviews to my credit, but as you said, that was quite some time ago

When using ter classic.

Now I have a new place to go to fritter away the time! (just got access)
