...it was originally approved, and then a day or two later it was "unapproved". I inquired as to why, and was told that women were not permitted to submit reviews. Well that didn't sit very well with me. I kicked up quite a stink about it and have been successfully submitting reviews ever since (I am a lady monger, NOT a provider).
I think that the powers-that-be here realized that it was ridiculous to prohibit women mongers (civvies & pros alike) from submitting credible and worthy reviews. Welcome to the 2010's!
...whether the provider had some other connection with the provider she is reviewing such that there could be a conflict of interest. If the reviewer and reviewee had a business connection ( even the possibility of a connection) it could be considered the same as an employer shilling (a shill review) for an employee.
Seems to me the OP should simply ask TER admin and see what they say.
Creating a "mutual admiration society" whereby hookers could all review each other with 10/10's all but guaranteed seems like a very bad idea to me.
I don't see this as sexual discrimination at all. lopaw's reviews are more than welcome here, but she has no conflicts of interest as she is strictly a monger, and not a provider. I think reviewers need to keep their "amateur status" and once they go pro, they lose their right to write reviews themselves.
