HI GUYS, I AM AN EXCELLENT PROVIDER IN COLUMBUS, OHIO. TRYING TO GET UP ON TER SO HOBBYIST CAN POST MY REVIEWS ABOUT ME....CAN ANYONE GIVE ME SOME HELP??? KISSES MISTY   MY WEBITE IS: mynaughtyandnicegals.escortsite.com    I AM VERY APPRECIATED

You don't want to come off as shouting at us, do you?

Next, since you have a website (And it's a very nice one too.), you are good to go.  All you have to do is convince your clients to join TER if they haven't already, and write a review of you.  Be sure they read the instructions for doing so carefully, but if they follow the rules, you should get the reviews posted after two members submit acceptable reviews.

When the first of the reviews is published, a profile of you will be created giving information such as how to contact you, physical descriptions, and activities engaged in.  This profile is not set up by you but by the reviewer.  If you want to take exception to anything in the profile, you can always send a problem report to TER Management.  The rules all cover how to do that.

The next step you will want to do is to have the TER logo on the first or second page of your site so that you can advertise on the Local TER Board near your area (Cleveland?).  You may post an ad not more than once in a seven day period indicating your availibility.  You can also post as much as you like on the other boards, and have a link to both your site and your TER profile and ads.  Again, read up in the Newbie Manual above for how to do all of this.

Best of luck, hope to see you around.

Can't understand the hang up with cap letters!
Would it help if we just said,,,,WE ARE NOT SHOUTING!
Seems rather trivial to me!

It is however accepted internet etiquette.  Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, buck the system and annoy people why not simply learn something, accept it and move forward?

He said nothing about a list, therefore nothing to see. He said it was a part of accepted internet etiquette. There is hardly a list anywhere of that sort to read and memorize, it is something you learn as you go and remember as you need it. Like saying thank you or please. Like holding a door open for someone approaching the same doorway you are using. Like just a simple hello to someone in the elevator. It is called being polite in public. Forums and discussion boards are public so when someone types in all CAPS it looks like they are being rude.

Like BG57 said, learn what is polite and either use that information or don't. Now that is has been explained to you, you can't say you don't understand. You can say you don't agree, but that is different and doesn't matter because you could also say you don't agree holding a door for someone isn't polite either, it still is.

b-

Sorry,but you need glasses!,,,He did say list!
Etiquette?,,,,on a porn board?,,,give me a break!
You guys act like we're posting a message to the President of the USA!,,,We are just a bunch of people on a porn board,talking about FUCKING!
Big difference between that and everyday manners!
Hell,i don't think most people could give a "Rat's Ass",,,caps or no caps!,,,Focus your concerns on things that really matter!

You post too much. This is a community in that it is a group of people who enjoy this virtual back and forth. Yeah, people come and go all the time, and not everybody enjoys everyone else's comments. But the community has a certain steady-state that it tends to maintain.

You're disturbing that state a bit by posting so much. Try not to feel that you have to answer every single post that is made in response to one of yours. Sometimes you need to just give it a rest. If you notice, that the way most other people on the site handle things. You won't see anyone else with so many posts on a single thread.

Try not to respond to your own posts. If you posted a topic, we've already heard from you. Now it is someone else's turn to talk.

One thing you'll notice in the current thread and others in the last day or two, is that some of the most polite folks on the boards are trying to send you little hints to back off a bit. You can be a much better member of the group if you would cool down a bit.

Sometimes people who really enjoy blogging and posting to message boards, maintain multiple boards open on their computer at the same time. That way they can have their fill of posting without swamping a single board. If you feel compelled to post, perhaps you could try that. Explore Chowhounds or DailyKos or whatever rings your chime and do that in addition to this. It will keep you from inundating these boards with so many posts.

And, yes, there is an etiquette to posting on-line. Try not to mess things up so much and fit in a little better.

Now do me a favor. DON'T respond to this post. Just let it sink in and move on.

BBB

Whatever dude!
You and the other "Gods of Posting",,,feel free to post the way you like!
I'll post when and how often i want!
Don't worry,,,not trying to take your top 10 spot away(i realize it gives you a hard on)      Steady state it intends to maintain?
WTF is up with that?,,,,You guys don't own this board.I get the feeling there are others on this board(no,i know there are),,,that wish you guys would STFU once in a while also!,,,Try not to respond to this and let it sink in!

Please Greg,,,,misspell just one word or make a sentence using caps only!,,,Come on man,let your hair down a little,you may enjoy it!,,,Same goes for your cronies!

I am linking to the TER's message guidelines as posted by the DC mod today. As you can clearly see, it states, " do not write in upper case"

your the boss man,the top one at that,,,,gotta listen to you!,,,yer sir,whatever you say sir!
btw,,,who's arguing!,,,we are discussing!

You are a bit on the obtuse side. You have been offerred friendly advice not once, but five times. Why do you feel the need to argue every little point? Posting in all caps is shouting and considered rude not just here, but everywhere on the internet.

I eagerly await your smartassed answer. Why should you take my advice when you have dismissed everyone else's?

lungman has posted 8 times in this thread alone.  perhaps a little defensive.  When i was a noob i typed my first post in all caps and got blasted.  I didnt cry about it or open up the reason for non caps to a philosophical debate.  MOVE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! p.s. im shouting now

...did you read it, about  (CAPS). Whether you are arguing, discussing or debating, since you are on the newbie board, & keep stepping in poop on other boards, please go to the top of this page & read click on both the Acronyms,and newbies' Manual and Message Board Policies & get better acquainted w/the TER policy’s rules. Yes, lungie TER does have rules, even fuck boards have rules.  Please read it, you will be a better person for it, & you might even learn to contribute to this site, maybe even contribute reviews, because, ya know lungie, TER does stand for The Erotic Review & give something back to us hobbyist that use this site for the "hobby"….lurking is good, you can learn a lot about boards that way too, you don’t have to post on everything, less is more my friend…..

Thanks gatey,,,i'll sleep better tonight!
Reviews,,,,no thanks!Don't want no gator dick in my ATF.
But i will adhere to TER's policies!
Stepping in poop?...Can't help it, with all the BS that goes on around here!
But it is entertaining,i'll give ya that!

Paragraphs of all caps are simply more difficult to read than properly formatted ones and don't (IMO) represent the author as an articulate, intelligent lady that I might care to meet.  Not saying she isn't, it simply doesn't come across so.

The one review listed indicates something slightly different. Possibly now independent and prices change. But your right, decent web site and that in itself a good start. Good luck sweetheart.

There is currently one review attached to the TER id you used to post your question. However, the name of the provider is Molly and she worked for an agency.

I think you can contact the TER administrators via "contact us" to get them to list your current Web site with the profile. Currently there is no Web site listed. And they also can list your new name along with your old one. Those are little housekeeping steps that will make it easier for new customers to post reviews.

Also, while it is not appropriate to offer a discount in exchange for a review, you can advertise on regional TER boards, and particularly express interest in meeting established TER reviewers. I think you can offer a discount to anyone with a certain number of reviews. You just can't make the discount contingent on getting a review.

Try posting this again, without all caps, as suggested. Your first post seems to have gotten lost in heated arguement. I didn't take part in it, but will apologize for what happened. That sort of thing doesn't usually happen on this board. Folks here are normally very helpful. Not too sure what happened this time.

Try starting over, and hopefully you'll get some better responses.

I'm guilty for messing up her post,,,,i was on the rag yeterday,,,I apologize to each and all!
