I'm not a VIP and have no posted reviews. I've just had too many problems trying to post. (I think my ISP or software strips the contents of some of the drop down boxes.) I already asked this on the Newbie forum but got no replies:

Is there a way to enter just a TER ID in order to populate the fields on the review form? That would make things a whole lot easier, for one thing, and maybe make the software work better (in my case). It might also cut down on multiple TER IDs for one person if was easier to find the existing ID and modify the form as necessary.  Do VIPs have that feature?

I've read many posts in several forums about paid VIP and it still isn't easy to do anonymously since people have different degrees of success using green dot cards and other options.

VIP's have to suffer the same frustration as non-VIP's!

Otherwise, a TER VIP membership is particularly beneficial to newbies in the hobby.  JMO!

that they wish to make it somewhat difficult to post a review in order to screen out the casual reviewer who won't put as much effort into it from the more serious reviewer.

I think it's a bit loopy myself, but it's their sandbox, so that's the way it is.

VIP members, of which I am one, have no easier time of writing reviews than non-VIP's.  What I do, when doing a review, is to open two windows to TER with one of them showing the lady's profile and one your new review.  It makes it much easier to fill out the damn form again, you just copy the info.  Your review is not going to change her profile, but you still have to fill it in.

As far as paying for VIP, I can't help you there, since I am single and just use a CC to pay for it.  I don't have to worry about hiding it from a nosy SO, like many of you guys do.
