I have had my very trusted clients come over and follow me to this site (mistake number one?). I have been in the business for a while and have accumulated a lot of lovely friends and companions. I asked a few of those companions to write me a review of our most recent encounter as i see them on a weekly to bi-monthly basis (mistake number two?) and was concerned when nothing showed up. I contacted TER support and found out that not only will their reviews be denied, BUT the users will be banned from writing me any further reviews in the future. Yep, things are certainly different from here on out, but i still have respect for this site. I understand where they are coming from and have respect for the level of care they are taking in handling the influx of new or returning users. I am three times a "refugee" and still going strong, so a little patience in establishing myself in this community is worthwhile in my eyes. This notice is intended for the ladies as a heads up. I'm sure i'm not the only one getting reviews banned, and i'm sure other ladies have been able to get theirs posted with no issue. Either way. Good luck to all.

Exactly. That's why this type of set up cannot last long and was unsuccessful in the bay area. The other place just spoiled us as VIP providers. Now that we've had a taste of the good life... Nothing else will quench our pallets. Its unfortunate that they censor reviews as they do. They decide who deserves a 10 or not instead of allowing the reviewers to use their own judgement. In the past I Also have had many reviews declined from guys rating me 9s/ 10s. We are a community. We know the valid names, the shill handles and ass kissers. Were not dummies... I had 7 pages of 9/10 REAL reviews from 11 years of hard work. Now I have to accept bring a 7? One mans 10 is another man's 5... Its objective!
Sorry Mercedes...I know what you mean. Its almost as if someone is purposely msking it harder for us. I hope they will loosen up a little on reviews and allow new people to establish handles. I do respect that they are trying to keep up certain standards...I just think there are better ways. Hopefully with our input things can get better. Ive never operated as a 7 and I give 10's in all my servives. Its unfair but were forced to accept it till there's better.

Mercedes, have you determined why your friends would be banned from EVER reviewing you? It just sounds to me as though they should try again and be sure to check all of the boxes as there are many.
Hopefully our loyal friends will review us on our personal websites and other review sites where the requirements for approval are not so prohibitive.
Good luck to you! We all need a bit of it to go with our hard work to establish reputations as quality companions who can be trusted to be discreet.

I'm afraid I disagree Angela. I always thought the review numbers were inflated to the point where guys were afraid to give anything LESS than a 9/10 for fear of upsetting the ladies' egos. As much as I appreciated the high praise (and will continue to strive to make all encounters an amazing experience), 'she is attractive' and 'I had a great time' is just fine by me. Here I believe that rates a 7/8. It never hurts to leave room for improvement and I used to get a bit tired of all the raves about women. It got to the point where it was disingenuous.

Maybev you have not experienced real & genuine reviews be refused by ter simply because ter will not allow you to receive a 9 or 10. Maybe its because were not what they would consider model material...or maybe because some of us practice safely. Whatever reason ter has to decide who will or won't be allowed to get exceptional service and looks ratings. A man who prefers fat brunettes might truely believe she is just as worthy of a ten as is a skinny blonde model. When it comes to service ratings... I doubt if a woman were giving 7 level of service those men would be falling over themselves to give inflated reviews... Much less giving them those 10s for years and years and years. I realize I'm not a model type... But if a woman has that kind of power over the men she sees...then she must be doing something right. Were talking about real reviews...not the ones some girls pay to have posted.
Shrug. I've posted reviews with 9's and 10's and had them go through on this site just fine. There's simply a specific criteria that says the max review for service is a 7 unless the provider offers some combination of several things. It's not biased, it's not favoritism, it's straight up "Okay guys, these are the guidelines for reviews." That's a lot saner than for example one guy on the old site who would post reviews of all 10's for 3 to 5 girl sessions, if you ask me
I did not use the words "biased" or "favoritism".
As soon as i found out my most trusted clients had accounts, i whitelisted them, of course! The same clients i whitelisted also gave me reviews. Perhaps they thought i made a deal with them of some sort or another, which leaves a bad taste in my mouth, as i always strive to be as honest as possible. I also went out of my way to contact TER about the location of those reviews after my clients told me (there are a few Mercedes's around here and a case of mistaken identity was taking place with some clients), which i believe was mistake number 3. I can see how they would think that the "whitelist" and the review might have been correlated as a trade for trade deal, but to be frank, these people have been with me for years. After such a huge change and shutdown, i see it only fit to try to assimilate them into a community of women who are now probably taking much tighter precautions to stay safe. By vouching for them i am participating in a community resource that i strongly believe in. Yes you still have to play it safe even with references, but it is a stepping stone to some form of safety precaution that most are familiar with.
As for them being banned from ever writing reviews for me, i won't be butthurt. Their continued patronage is more then i could ever ask for. I am not sure if i can petition for otherwise, but i don't feel like it's a fight worth having. Every place of this nature will have it's rules, and this is the way they run things here. I am sure that ONE day, eventually i'll get a new review posted. Until then.

...I could be completely wrong here but maybe what I'm about to say will help.
First there are no restrictions on the way a client chooses to rate a provider he sees on Appearance. If he thinks she is a 10 then he can rate her as such and TER won't have anything to say about it.
TER does have some services offered restrictions on performance ratings though. The highest a provider can receive for performance is 7 unless she is willing (offers) to do one or more of these five things.
1. kiss with tongue (TER terminology)
2. blow job without a condom.
3. be really bi
4. do anal intercourse
5. do more then one guy at a time.
She is eligible for 1 extra point in performance for each of these she offers. She can't receive a performance rating higher than 10 even if she offers all 5 of the extras. Take the 7 add the points for extra services (any 3 of the 5) and the client can rate her a 10 in performance. (Note: she doesn't have to actually do any of these 5 things in the session being reviewed she just has to offer them if the gent so desires. What sense that makes is another discussion for another time.)
I've quoted the sections of the Review FAQ's below. There are two sections that cover this. The first only mentions 4 extra services the second names all 5.
"An escort provider is only eligible to earn up to a 7, unless she is willing to perform one or some of the following during a session: Kisses With Tongue, Bare-Back Blow Job, Really Bi, and Anal Sex. For each of these services that are offered, her potential max score is raised by one point, with 10 as an absolute maximum."
"In order to keep our performance ratings consistent, we set up the following system: An escort provider may only earn up to a 7, unless she also performs the following during a session: Kisses With Tongue, Bare-Back Blow Job, Really Bi, Anal Sex, or More than One Guy. The addition of each offering will raise her score by one point. If your review doesn't already accurately reflect this rating system, we will adjust it.
This does not mean she earns extra points for offering these service(s); just that she is now eligible for a higher score. Her maximum eligible score is based on what is offered, not what is performed during your session with her. You may or may not be interested in the “extra” services she offers, but the fact she offers them makes her eligible for the higher score."
I hope this is helpful in understanding the review ratings of providers.

It actually helps a lot. I appreciate those who are chiming in and helping those of us still learning to navigate. Although it doesn't suck any less for someone like me. Lol...
...pure speculation leads me to respond with what I hope is helpful information.
I'm not saying any of this happened and I'm not making accusations just giving information.
1. If the clients review a provider while at her location when they logged on to TER it looks like the provider is writing the review. TER looks at IP addresses if the provider's IP shows up when a gent is submitting his review of her they consider the review may be false and won't allow it. She may be self reviewing. They will often ban the provider. Another possibility is maybe they used the provider's computer/device to write/submit the review of her and again this would show as her location or device and it could be said that she was writing the review or the two were writing it in collaboration.
It's possible for the client and his review to be perfectly legit even though he is at her location when he writes it. But the appearance of self reviewing or client/provider collaboration will cause them to act.
2. Reviews have to be submitted within 90 days of the date of the session. If your clients were reviewing a past session, put the actual date (month/year), and it was longer ago than 90 days the review would have been rejected.
3. It is also possible that as you say the white listing and then you notifying TER of the reviews caused suspicion.
4. Possibility some of the review content didn't follow TER review guidelines. TER should let you/them know what exactly was against policy.
I know TER as responded to you already when you asked about this but I have to think they gave you a reason (what specifically caused them to reject the reviews and inform you of future consequences) along with telling you about the banning if those clients tried to review you at a later date.
I would use the "Contact Us" at the bottom of the page and politely ask for further explanation.
Sorry that things have not gone well but in time I'm sure they will improve. Change can be a jolt and unexpected change even more so.

After all of the speculation and uncovering of some very useful information, this is what it boils down to according to admin (but has been rephrased in my own words), which is super helpful to know if the "new" ladies are bringing "new" guys over here.
New ladies or long awaited "returning" ladies cannot be reviewed by new guys! They must first be reviewed by a well established reviewer before any new reviews from new guys can be accepted.
Aha!
Sounds fair.
and HLL, Since the guys seem to be familiar with the rating system, they will probably be able to tell that you are indeed being given the highest possible rating for a safe gfe provider. It is not an insult to your looks, just an acknowledgement of your service bracket boundary
...but some how that didn't occur to me as a possible reason. Doh!
Glad you were able to find out. It is true that TER will hold reviews of new providers written by new mongers until one or the other has a couple more reviews and establishes themselves.
In this case we know you're not new but you are new to TER.
You are also correct that the TER guys (though some don't pay attention. Their problem not yours) know that a lady with the services HotLatinaLover offers will qualify for no higher than an 8 according to TER guidelines. In her case an 8 is an excellent score. The reviewer can comment in the details of the review how excellent her services are.
The review system makes no sense to providers that offer FBSM or just F/S, well that is ridiculous. What we got as 8-9's like HLL who was the same as me, now I will be 7's like the 3 reviews I had in the past.
