I wrote a reply to something Dreu said and it didn't get passed the censor. Basically I said I am also grateful for being here but don't like the rating system here (based on high points for unsafe services.) It didn't go through and I doubt this will.  

I tend to get some high scores based on my GFE skills; yet I don't consider myself to be unsafe (yes, I'll get totally mental when someone wastes my time, but I'm not unsafe LOL).

You're new to this board, thus you're still being moderated.  It is up to the mod to approve your post or not.   Correct?  

I saw your post below in another thread. It's still there.

If you are logged in with your handle and click on "My TER", then in the quick links list on the left side, click on "My Message Boards" and all your posts will appear with an explanation of their status - approved or disallowed.  If something is disallowed or rejected they (the mods) will also give a reason for their action. A nice feature imho.

I never even knew it was there, after all these years!  LOL

Then why don't they not make a judgement and let everyone get high marks?

What exactly are you talking about?

I should have said "unprotected" instead of unsafe. My apology. I guess it just took them a long while to put it up...

From TER's GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING REVIEWS
"In order to keep our performance ratings consistent, we set up the following system: 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, or More than One Guy. For each of these services that are offered, her potential max score is raised by one point, with 10 as an absolute maximum."

Perhaps it's because most men who session with TER ladies want GFE services. It would be silly to rate a covered BJ as high as an uncovered one. Any normal man knows that an uncovered one feels better so the ratings are going to be higher for that.  

Can we just get along, we have been through some kind of life altering experience for almost a month now and I just got here so excited, finally wind up HERE and very grateful because for spending hours and hours of research which one is the most secure place, with all the data and facts, I decided TER somewhat safe haven for me after scouring multiple sites to find my people, we were like a colony of ants and suddenly a poison grenade was drop in the center of our gathering and holy smokes we were all over the place. Now I observed as I slowly get in to my recovery mode after all the shock I have experience, I see these, accusations, finger pointing, judgmental, censoring, unsafe services, personal and board criticism, I don't know what say about these, I have the gut feeling that we are all back or if we're not careful and respect the rules or each other we might ruin this one too. Everyone go for it, express yourselves.

Yes eom

...not really.  The previous poster was correct. You as a new member are moderated. All new members are. Board admin will hold every post you make, check it, approve it, and post it. That can take minutes or hours. After you have been around a while and have posted without any problems you can use the "contact us" link and request to be un-moderated.  

I got to say in all honesty this rating system makes sense to me.  When I contact a provider if none of those services mentioned above are available it is kind of a let down, I feel why even bother.

I'm personally not happy with this requirements for a maximum score of 10. It seems like it would be more sensible to allow reviewers to give the scores that are appropriate, and the guys that want the particular services in question can just include that as a requirement when they search reviews. It seems like a lot of girls may allow their profile to claim that they do these things when they really don't (or don't for all clients). Since the profiles are created by clients, this doesn't even imply dishonesty on the provider's part.

Don't know who you are saying this to. I said I appreciate and am grateful to be here but I didn't like one of their policies. I think its my God given right to be allowed to have an opinion. I don't have to like this place 100% nor does anyone else.  

Another way to put it: one can put lipstick and makeup on a pig but it's still a pig! LOL...

well said xxxxxxx...

Thank you all for the lovely posts. Good stuff!

You sure jump to a lot of conclusions. I don't live on the West coast, so I only used the defunct board for a couple of brief visits to California. I don't know of the problems you mention, but I do know a little more about TER. The services needed to qualify for a top score include  Blow Job - without condom, Kissing - with tongue, Anal - Really Bi - More than One Guy. They just need 3 of these, so they can skip kissing and BBBJ if they do the other 3. In practice, many providers list 3 of these even if they don't really provide them. I don't think that there is any requirement that these services be offered for a reasonable price. And, I think that it is rare that clients will complain about one of these services not being offered.  

Take it all for a grain of salt. You might provide a once in a lifetime experience, but the rating system caters to certain international tastes.
