review unapproved

My review was unapproved because they could find contact info on website I put, but the number isn't on the website because you have to message the provider to get it. What do I do? She is only that particular website

And, don't you have the phone number since you saw the gal and presumably messaged her?

I do and I put it, what they are saying us they can't find the number in her profile, it's hx.

Also messaging on P411.  But your question re why he didn't have her phone # is valid.

Many reviews say "Phone [email only]" or similar. Providers who do not list their phone number usually do not want it published in a review for all to see.  
.
I think that TER is telling you to REMOVE THE (unverified) phone number from your review / Profile. How are they supposed to know that it isn't the number of your ex-wife without calling it and asking her if she's turning tricks these days?  (I suppose it could also be the phone number of the local pizza place that shorted you on your last take-out order and wouldn't give you your money back but how is TER supposed to know THAT?)  
.
Are you writing a review from an auto-populated review form (using an existing TER ID #)? Are you writing the first review of an unreviewed Provider?  
.
Remove the phone number and say something like, "Initial contact is all email. After verification and as the day of the meeting approaches, she will give you her phone number for the final day-of info."

Yes it first review of a unreviewd provider, the only reason I put the number is because it wouldn't let me submit without a number

Sounds like another bug in the new TER. There should be a drop down or other convenient means of designating that she doesn't have a published phone number.

An ad has to either have contact info available to users without a login (hence the difficulty with HX providers when they don't put contact info in their ads), or failing that a method to contact them on the site once again not requiring a login (which for example is why Twitter is usually not accepted unless, like HX, the provider puts their contact details down somewhere).

 
Contact forms and/or contact info: goooooooood
No contact info or form or communication locked behind login/signup: baaaaaaaaaaaaad

That is appreciated.

Since we're on the newbie board, WTF is hx?

Also, since we're on the topic of what types of ad links are allowed on profiles, I'd like to ask about something. Why is it that when I hit the "report new url" button on a profile with no links and submit a liverubreviews page, it gets shot down? Name and phone numbers match. I know about the rule of no links to other review sites and it makes sense. But that's a review site in name only. I've never found anything even resembling a review there. More importantly, I see profiles with links from there every day. Two brand new providers popped up in my city with those links just today. Just curious. Thanks.

I have no answer for tour liverubreviews question. Hopefully sportsadmin (or one of the admins) is still reading and can answer that.

...like TER.  Many providers on HX want the guy to PM them first before they give him their phone number.  They also do not want their phone number to be in the review.

Is the real problem that you found her on HX and in the time between seeing her ad and writing your review the phone number on HX vanished? Or did you use HX private messaging to get the number which is why TER could not verify that number? Just  trying to be clear for later readers.
