I've twice been accused of being too hard in reviews and expecting perfection in ratings, yet now 3 of my reviews have been reduced. The latest has other reviewers with 8's and 9's and hasn't changed her "menu" yet I get reduced to a 7. I don't get it! Either down those old reviews to conform to some new standard or let my ratings stand as DESIRED. Incongruous!
BTW, my T6 ATF locals don't want national "exposure" which brings my average down considerably. FYI But I do also think "5" is average/mediocre and many seem to use 7 or even 8 as their mediocre mark.
JMHO
different activites that a certain provider will perform rather than the quality of those activities.
Thus, When I see a provider who does great BBBJ, but not CIM, they will rate that lower than another provider who does just OK BBBJCIM.
While I may feel that the provider is a 9 in performance because of the quality, TER often downgrades my rating to an 8, because of the limited repetoire.
I've had to explain this to several providers who called me after seeing a review to ask if I was unhappy with them.
I don't like it, but it's not my call.

I haven't had anyone complain, but it would be a tad of a pickle if you tell them how much you enjoyed yourself and then they see a downgraded review and feel somewhat "dissed". I wouldn't mind the standards if they were uniform. But very recent OTHER REVIEWERS having seen the same girl with the same list of NOs were allowed to give 9's and they still stand. Why am I now then CAPPED AT 7 for the same services. Change them ALL or NONE! I can live with certain acts being necessary - kind of like some aspects of such objectivity actually. But not totally inconsistent enforcement and application. That is what blows!
Probably could use a 3rd rating. Appearance, Performance, and GFE/Services. The first two being completely subjective and the 3rd objective look at their MENU of services/acts. That also might help the inconsistency factor of providers changing their menu per client ( and I don't mind that for hygiene reasons - obviously ) but am not a fan of it for other reasons and because it makes the reviews less usable/reliable to the rest of us.
