I would like suggest a separate numerical rating for the massage part of the reviews. It is often a substantial bonus (for me anyway) to get an outstanding massage after the main event; and I think it more informative to give it its own rating.

It appears thet the initial reviewer of a girl enters the massage evaluation ('don't know', 'average', 'above average' ,etc.} and it remains without change through all the subsequent reviews.  

I have also noticed sometimes a girl will get some very favorable later massage commentary even though her initial (and lasting) rating was 'don't know' or average'.

Let's put it to a vote.

I would recommend that TER do away with the numerical ratings altogether, and implement a much simpler system.

Something like this...

RIP OFF
Not Recommended
Recommended with reservations
Highly Recommended.

What is written in the reviews, how it is written, and who has written those reviews carries much more weight, in my opinion, than the numerical score.

I know this is a controversial topic, so I expect to hear views on both the sides on this.

... merits of doing away with the numerical ratings.

Out of the 4 suggested ratings... 'Recommended with Reservations' is a tricky one to figure out.

What does "with reservations" mean? What acts or lack of acts would constitute a reviewer designating a provider with that kind of rating?

Does it mean lack of DFK? No BBBJ? No anal play? Exactly how does a reviewer arrive at that conclusion?

The other 3 ratings are pretty self explanatory. Maybe someone may debate the last one, Highly Recommended, but I'll leave that one to someone else.

One thing for certain... if TER does implement this kind of rating system, the Top 100 will disappear and most likely piss off those "Highly Recommended" providers who LIVE for those Top 100 designations.

In my opinion, the ratings should be:  Appearance as advertised: Yes or No

Would you recommend: Yes or No

Your Experience: Positive or Negative

Something to this effect, but I think there are a lot of people who enjoy the drama that the numbers create.
