So this may seem like a stupid question to some of you but I am perplexed and not sure how all this works so your input is appreciated.

 
Is it possible for you guys to go back AFTER entering at review and change what you wrote?

I am asking because there was a review someone had written and I remember it nearly word-for-word, and I just this morning went back to scan some old reviews and noticed that almost half of the review was missing/changed.

I might be imagining this. Memory does like to play games, after all but this was review was pretty memorable at the time so I doubt I am imagining it. Are you guys actually able to go back and change your reviews AFTER you have submitted them? And if so, for how long after and honestly, what is the point of having reviews since you aren't ever actually committed to what you wrote at this rate?

My regular playmates don't review me here because apparently there is a "not graphic enough" rule for submissions as well as historical evidence of LE using reviews in court cases successfully (its all over the internet. Not hard to find those cases). So for their protection as well as my own, we avoid this. But this making things up as you go along and then changing them later to say something else has me scratching my head. Did I really just see this?

Integrity works both ways but it always comes down to being accountable and committed to what you say or do. None of us are saints but when we insist and demand that other folks have some integrity in their business dealings with us, it doesn't hold water if we aren't playing by the same rules with them.

If you send in a problem report and give a good reason (Eg.:  The gal contacted me and said that I wrote some things that she doesn't do with everyone and wants them taken down.) they will often allow that.

Another gambit is to re-review the gal which will result in the first review being taken down

Clients will answer few of questions.I notice a lot of escorts worry about other escorts reviews.I have clients don't like to write review in illegal business on sex boards.

I just sent in a problem report. The guy apparently is also claiming to have seen me for tantra services which is impossible since I was only doing massage then. This guy has a major case of sour grapes because I wouldn't give him a BBBJ (I remember this guy like it was yesterday). Hopefully, TER admin will see it before that liar sees this thread and changes the review AGAIN.

So, nope. Its not my imagination. Apparently there IS a way for some of you to go in and change reviews at your whim and leisure without it showing when it was edited or changed. Which, in my mind, means that those reviews have even LESS value than forum threads (which, interestingly enough, DO show when you edited a post/response).

Guys like this one are one of the reasons that providers have a lot of resentment toward review board culture and are actively avoiding as much of it as possible. We are constantly being scrutinized and demanded to uphold some level of integrity in what we do as providers for the protection and benefit of clients (current and future) but then crap like THIS goes on for reasons like someone getting a case of the butt hurt because they didn't get something they feel they were entitled to (and let's face it, clearly are not ENTITLED to it - like bareback anything).  

Reviews. All the ability in the world to go back and edit, change and otherwise re-write history but zero accountability in terms of a date/time stamp to show when it was edited/changed/re-written.

This makes it completely worthless to anyone looking for more than a tap room tall tale.

No guys can't just decide to edit the review once it's posted. mrfisher is correct that it's possible to edit but TER has to allow it. The reviewer can't just decide to make changes. The problem report is for items on your profile mostly but could be used by someone (not the reviewer) to question something in a review.

If the reviewer wanted to do an edit after the review is posted he/she would have to communicate with TER to give the reason for the edit and TER would decide whether to allow it or not. Then TER would have to give the reviewer access in order to make the edit. This isn't something TER does often. Usually they allow it if the info being changed is a clear mistake the reviewer wants/needs to correct or if it's a safety issue for the provider though usually TER will decline a review to begin with if it gives too much personal information , location, etc.

Yes, someone that reviewed you could submit another review which would replace the first one but this replacement review has to be of different session and there is supposed to be something different about the session. It also has to be a least 90 days after the first review.  

None of the above says your reviewer didn't do something to get the review changed but it's not a simple thing to do.  

Communicate with TER using Contact Us (instead of problem Report) because Contact Us is for more complicated issues. You will need to do some back and forth with TER to show this "edited review"is inaccurate. If you can prove to TER's satisfaction that the "new" review didn't take place then they will remove

"If the reviewer wanted to do an edit after the review is posted he/she would have to communicate with TER to give the reason for the edit and TER would decide whether to allow it or not.

Well, clearly what they do in practice is not what they say in policy since the original did not have any personal info that would have put my safety at risk but was clearly written in a tone that was over the top sour grapes to anyone reading it. For chrissakes, The FORUM posts/responses (which are nothing more than bar room chit-chat! NOTHING MORE THAN AN EMPTY HEADED BAR ROOM CONVERSATION!), THEY HAVE TIME/DATE STAMPS when something was edited/changed but a review that impacts the reputation of someone does NOT? ANYWHERE?  

Think about what that means. Just think for a minute. And just to prove a point, this post has been edited. Date/time stamp in effect, naturally.

"Yes, someone that reviewed you could submit another review which would replace the first one but this replacement review has to be of different session and there is supposed to be something different about the session. It also has to be a least 90 days after the first review."

If a different review is to replace the original one, it shouldn't take you up to THREE MONTHS to realize that you (a) made a mistake in what you wrote or (b) want to add something. For chrissakes, on what planet do they allow you to add, edit or change critical details on something you commit to writing from memory more than 72 hours after writing it? On what planet? Planet This Is All Entertainment Not To Be Taken As Gospel Truth? And people trust this stuff? Its not like anything written in writing is an actual commitment to a statement you made because it is in writing ... unless it is a forum thread/post, of course. THERE you have to be sure you mean it because if you go back and change something, it is dated/time stamped when you changed something....

 
THREE MONTHS?

Dude, most people can barely remember the name of the girl they hooked up with in a bar, at the cost of drinks and bad decisions, from a month ago much less THREE months ago but we are going to trust them to recount important details with any veracity about some detail about a provider meeting beyond what they originally wrote down immediately after the fact?

 
I appreciate the info you are giving but this isn't helping TER's cause one bit. If anything, it is making the reviewers and the TER policies look even worse.

Not everyone has integrity.  And the TER review system is imperfect.

Put those together, and there's going to be cases of inaccurate reviews published--some of which won't be removed on appeal.  

I understand your frustration with the review system. I encourage you to be persistent in trying to correct abuses that occur. Sometimes the first appeal may not work, but a second or third will.  That's been my experience over the years in reporting problems to TER.  

However, if you feel the TER review system is unacceptable for you, you have the option of delisting. I know some providers who have done that rather than live with inaccurate reviews that they couldn't get removed.  Maybe if enough providers take that path, changes will be made to improve the integrity of reviews, to everyone's benefit.  

...up to 90 days to edit a review.  He clearly said that a reviewer can write a NEW review of the same provider but it has to be a DIFFERENT session and the different session has to take place at least 90 days AFTER the previous session.  The new review will then supplant the previous review.

Thanks for the clarification. So, my question is this.

 
How does anyone prove that they never saw Mr. Gross Client when he puts up the "2nd" review in that 90 day period?  

You had a crap experience with a provider and you went back to give them MORE of your money and time in less than 90 days (or ever) because.....? What would convince someone to go back under those circumstances????

You wrote a crap review about a provider and he/she agreed to see you again _EVER_ (much less in less than 90 days) in eternity because......? How would this happen, exactly????  

And no one in management sees the obvious problem and falsification inherent in these two situations because.....? They believe that everyone writing a review is telling the truth and would never go back and write a crap review in less than 3 months time because they were having a case of the ass at the provider for something he/she wouldn't do for them later?

And who exactly are these people seeing a provider more than once in 3 months and needing to write reviews about BOTH visits? I have regular clients that I see on a fairly predictable schedule but they are also gentlemen with serious businesses/professions that prevent them from joining this public mutual masturbation club that is the "reviewing providers" game on these sites because unlike some folks, they are familiar with the law and the issues of internet confessions being used as documented evidence in other situations. I can't imagine anyone with a bankroll that allows them to see a provider more than once every few months who would ALSO be compelled to brag about their locker room exploits on here. Guys with THAT much bankroll have much better (and real) things to brag about so who exactly are THESE guys making the 90 day replace a review practice even a consideration worthy much less a policy? I would love to see those guy's profiles and forum responses. I bet they would all be consistent and predictable.... and telling without ever having to meet them once in person

I had a client who I had a straightforward gfe session with who wrote a review of that. Two weeks later we met again for a more toy/fetish oriented session. He wanted to write a review on that one as well since it was a completely different type of session, but couldn't because of it being less than 90 days. I'm not going to say it happens frequently, but it can happen.
