Here is the scenario:
An area provider that has been around for some some time. The provider has a TER badge on their website and many reviews. The provider is also listed on 411.
Then, all ther reviews on TER are removed. Should a hobbyist be concerned about this provider in any way? If not, why might this happen?
This is an actual scenario. Any helpful advice would be appreciated on this on, either posted or PM.
THANK YOU!

It's hapened before. I wouldn't be concerned.

not really, can you search for those reviews on TER by the reviewer name ? reviews never really get deleted, just the indexing to them is removed. Unless the reviewer has been delisted.

many girls go through a period of not wanting so much information about them available on TER. in order to have reviews pulled, the Girl has to write into TER and explain why she wants them removed. they do not get removed for any other reason. so it was at her request.

and like someone said, ask her.

I wasn't sure if asking the provider directly would be in poor taste.

Since I am not very experienced in this area, I wouldn't want to offend or be disrepectful.

Suggestions on how one might broach the subject?

providers can delist themselves or be delisted for a variety of reasons. Being delisted isnt always for the right reasons. Do a google and you will find all kinds of interesting allegations.....

BUT
I didn't......

Perhaps she has asked to have her reviews removed, it does happen especially if a provider makes the decision to take a more UTR (under the radar) route in the hobby.

Perhaps she violated the terms one too many times on the board.  This too can happen and she will have to resolve those issues with TER herself.  TER, I would think, would not remove someone's reviews for anything other than the two stated reasons.

If you've not seen the provider before, it might be awkward on your part to ask her and if she has been in violation she may not want to answer.

MOST IMPORTANTLY though, if you do not feel comfortable with the provider then DON'T SEE HER.  Your instinct is trying to keep you away for a reason.  Listen to it luv.

Good luck,
