Do you hobbyist know that if you walk out on a Provider because she tries to upsell you and refuses to deliver on what you agreed on you can not rate her a "Ripoff". You have to give her at least a 2 (per TER). ALso TER makes you put in "Length of Service" the "Agreed Upon Length" even though in actuality the "Length of Service" was 0 min. Next they force you to put the "Agreed Upon Fee" under the category of "FEE PaiD" even if the fee paid was $0. If you don't do this they won't post your review. What do you think about that? As for me I will never trust "Fee Paid" and "length of Service" as legitimate reports in the future. Thjey are only what was agreed on before seeing the provider and only what TER forced someone to put.
Put down whatever TER insists you have to put down to get your review up; then in the review, explain exactly what happen and even suggest what numbers you would use if TER would let you.
Better to do that and alert us to ROBs than not have anything.
You would visit a provider who has a performance score of 4 or less?
I would visit such a provider only under two conditions. First, I saw her before and know that she provided well to me. I would take a chance that she has gone south and if confirmed, I won't visit her again. Second, if the reviewer that posted the low score is out of line with other reviews that the lady has. I have two of the 3 providers in my current review history that situation happened to. I will be visiting both within the next three weeks and plan on more visits beyond. A provider that racks up performance and/or appearance scores of 6 or less on a consistent basis shouldn't count on me calling her.
Yes, TER has rules for their reviews that seem arbitrary at times, even dumb. But there is some logic to most of them, and you have to admit the rules seem to result in a decent, usable product. Could it be better? Of course, it could.
But the anger and frustration in your post mostly result from your bad experience, don't they? And it is fine to vent, but TER is not the problem here - depending on your perspective, it is either the provider, or perhaps the screening process that resulted in you being with her.
Mr F is correct on the review process. Me, I am curious if there is anything you would do differently to avoid this happening again.
