This will probably never make the board but here it goes.

Have any of you experienced this?  You go to all of the trouble to fill out a review and it never gets posted?  I for one am tired (as a paying member) of the censorship that the moderator seems to be applying.  This is supposed to be a forum for us to use to share information.  It makes you wonder if certain girls get favors.  Not that I am saying they do, but it just seems weird.  I have submitted 3 reviews and none of them make the board.  I don't think that I will submit any more.  My time is worth a lot to me and to voluntarily submit a review for the benefit of others, and have it rejected, seem a waste of time.

If you go back into the section where you post your reviews, the status of each review should be provided.

If the review was not approved, there should be a reason why.

If you don't understand the reason, submit a feedback request asking for clarification.

As an FYI to you and others, the moderators are not responsible for approving reviews. We have no control, other than pointing out inconsistancies when we see them.

Strange indeed, considering some of the reviews that I've seen that get approved.  One or two sentences and they're in there.  Go figure.

The moderator's advice to find out why the review was not approved is sound.  In my case, the only reasons that I've had reviews not approved are either bad or no website and failure to put an amount paid for the session.  Easy enough to correct the second, but not the first if the provider doesn't have a web presence.

Maybe I'm dumb but I cannot find where you are talking about.

Don't get angry and frustrated.  Check the reason given in the vip status area and fix what they want fixed.  I had a review denied for not being explicit enough.  It was my review of Nell.  I asked that it be reviewed again, and it was accepted- unchanged.  You read it and tell me what else I could have said.  I guess the second time they agreed.

I don't think it has anything to do with certain girls; however, your mention of censorship makes me think you gave negative reviews that were not posted.  I think that if your review of a provider is strikingly different than the others it may not be immediately accepted.  I'm not for censorship, but I'm also not in favor of allowing a review to be posted that contradicts otherwise good reviews without some sort of check and balance.  I think that by the denial it forces the reviewer to re-read and resubmit, and therefore re-evaluate his less than positive review.  If it is resubmitted the same, then it should be posted.  

I am paticularly upset at two no-shows last week (you know who you are) but it is probably better that I don't vent through a review.  One gave a reason I think was complete bullshit, but I guess I have to give the benefit of the doubt.  The other just gaffed me completely.  Sorry for this, I know it really has nothing to do with the original thread, but I absolutely hate making an appointment, getting ready (both physically and mentally), and then sitting there calling to no answer wondering if she's just late or if I should try to hook up with another provider.  Of course, I don't have the luxury of researching TER while I'm sitting in a hotel or in my car with only my mobile phone, so I'm fucked, but not the way I wanted to be.  Again, sorry for the tirade.  Shame on both of you, unless your story was true, then I hope you are out of the hospital and doing ok.

My first reviews here go back to late 1999 and I've always had trouble getting them approved for the board. There always seems to be something that hangs them up. Sometimes it's me, maybe I get an extra dash / dot in the website address and other times it's a mystery why it doesn't seem to go thru.

I understand the rules for submitting a review and I make a fair attempt to comply with them but the approval process seems very subjective at best from TER. I've had reviews not posted because there " wasn't explicit enough " details provided. I re-write the review and make it bigger by filling it in with useless details ( to me anyway ) and the review will be posted. It is NOT a level playing field where it is 1 set of rules for everyone. I still see reviews posted with 2 /3 lines in it, bad website addresses / no  pic's and I wonder how those types get on the board.

When I was this Discussion Board's first Moderator I had to submit my reviews just like everyone else. No special favors, nothing in return for doing it. I didn't have ANY control over reviews being posted or not. I wouldn't want it either...too many to go thru on a daily basis. I only had control over the content on the Message Board.

Bottom line I figure is that it is their ( TER's ) website and they can do as they damn well please and we can always start our own if we want / can. It's a free country.

Is they never update the providers profile.  My reviews have always been posted with no problems, but I fill out the profile part and that never gets changed.  It's like whoever fills it out the first time, thats the profile that stays.  It sucks cuz you do a search and you may come up with a girl that fits your search but doesn't do those things anymore.  Or never did.  And you might be missing a girl because her profile is inaccurate.

Go to VIP Community-->Account Mangager-->List My Reviews.
This works even if your VIP has lapsed and you're a basic member for a while.

There are some profiles that are absolutely wrong based on further reviews.  If staff is out there, is there a procedure for requesting an update to some of these girls when posting?

you can get profile information changed via problem reports. I have submitted updated information on profiles from personal experience (regarding rate changes) and one via the provider herself who got a bad rap from a bogus review and didn't know how to go about making the changes.

It's probably unrealistic to expect that profiles would get automatically updated on the fly as reviews accumulate.  However, maybe the staff could adopt a policy of reviewing the profile once 5-10 reviews are posted, or of course when a problem report is posted.

Personally, I've posted some problem reports when profile were flat out wrong and nothing happened.  Maybe there should be a mechanism to provide feedback to a member if their problem report is rejected.

My two cents is that certain providers have undue influence on this board.  My ability to write reviews has been barred because of an error in one of my reviews of a frequent posting provider.  Even though staff conceded that I most likely had in fact seen the provider (though the provider claimed otherwise citing the error), and my review did become part of the database, they refused to accept further reviews, citing vague assertions that they had received complaints about some of my other reviews.  When I asked for specifics, they did not reply.

BS in my opinion.

Who's the primary customer here anyway?

By your own admission (I can provider the emails for the class if you like) you lied in your review of Kelly.  You stated a session happened in a certain date, when in reality, it had happened MUCH before then.  It was not an "error."  You knowingly falsified the review so it would be posted.

Because of this, you were not allowed to submit more reviews.  It has nothing to do with influence.  It has to do with honesty.

I've noticed with a couple of very well reviewed Providers, a pattern of self posting about every month or so, just to stay in the highlight of new reviews. The Reviewers never have more than her review, or if they show one other, it's also a Bunny Ranch girl too. A marketing ploy, I'm sure, but unfair to the hard working Providers that get theirs the honest way. Another coincidence..??? These Providers seem to spend time working at the Bunny Ranch...Fishy... I've reported this more than once. to no avail...Ah Yes Bless the Powers that be...!!!!
