I saw a new client last night that tried to read my reviews. He couldn't even get the ratings numbers. I guess you realize by now, he is not a paid member. I do not understand what TER is thinking. He didn't find me on TER, he found me another place, but followed the link on my website to TER. He didn't understand the point of having the link if he couldn't at least get my ratings. He thought I had something to do with it.

We had a great time and will post a review, but I don't get it

So, the question to TER  or anyone else is,

 IS this better for them and worse for us as providers and what if anything can we do about it. I know it effects hobbying.

I get TER needs to make money, but at what cost?

Should providers just list their ratings in their websites?

dunno...

any input would be appreciate..

session went without getting the naughty details, however the only way to get the ratings are to pay.  I understand the economy is hard now, however I would suggest to save a guest time, $, and disappointment to at least get a 1mo membership find all the ladies you want in an area and write them down after you read that the experience is what you were hoping by reading the details.  Then as you see ladies make sure their site and such are still valid.

As a lady you can also pick to use other review site who allow your # scores to show.  I do not think you are allowed to discuss them here because one advertising/review site does not allow another.  However if you would like those sites feel free to PM me and I will send them.

The decision, which really isn't all that recent, to hide the numbers ratings from non VIP's was, no doubt, designed to increase VIP memberships. I don't know if it has or not but TER seems to be sticking with the decision.

Not to sound unsympathetic but I've been VIP for six or seven years and I rarely even see new girls anymore.  Any guy who takes the hobby seriously should be a VIP on TER.

By the way, everything written about you on TER is the property of TER.  Be careful when considering re-posting any info from your reviews on your personal website.

I never trust review info posted on a provider's own website.

Well, since you asked.
20 dollars isn't much for a gent who WANTS to read your reviews before he sees you.
So, I understand the marketing strategy.

But, if he saw you on another site and came here, could he not also see your "reviews" on other free sites?
Yes.
So, we have the power to use other review services.

Having said that, if this site is the Preferred site for fellas to go to, then they should pay for the privilege.

They also should have to pay to post a review and on that note: an email SHOULD BE SENT TO EACH PROVIDER PRIOR TO A REVIEW BEING SUBMITTED.
We don't have to "approve" the details, but that we actually saw the man.
That in itself would lend more respectability to this site by reviewers AND providers.

Learned a lot that I did not know about TER and its rules..

I do appreciate all the comments and will take into account what everyone has said.

Thank you for those who offered help. Greatly appreciated.


(a post with no drama)

I lovee itttt!!!!!

thank you for the laugh, (a real one).
How much would you propose we pay for each review?  

Please post that on the S&P board or on the GD board. That will be a fun post  

If you are VIP, then you are in essence paying to read and write reviews.  

Oh good catch...

We do not pay to WRITE them.
Is this really hard to understand?

Would it not be for the 9 pages of reviews that you have, you would starve.
You look well fed. You should be thanking us not referring to any of us as "freeloaders".

Next weeks lesson will be marketing 101.

Yes I admit the freeloading comment was bad.  

I don't need any lessons as my biz is better than it's ever been.  

I just feel that giving vip for writing reviews encourages fake reviews.  I don't agree with it and I took it out on you.  I can admit when I'm wrong.  

Thanks
