As a continuation on the Chicago Regional Board today, I wanted to ask if it were possible to shorten the duplication that goes on when reviewing a provider. The only pertinent information is the rating of looks and performance and then the short and long form of the event itself. All of the preliminary information is a direct duplication of previous reviews (plainly written and available on TER, which makes the process of reviewing extremely time consuming and a chore to do. Is there any way this repeated information could be automatically transferred to any given previously reviewed provider to simplify this task?
An answer will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.Takes like a minute to transfer the drop down data.
...So far no changes have been made. I do recall Admin stating somewhere that they were considering making it easier in the next version of TER. Probably could do a search and find that info.
to make it hard to post a review to week out casual reviewers.
I can see their point and at the same time I dislike the tedium of posting information that will never see the light of day.
I speak for the guys who have mentioned this to me as well.
Please ADMIN: If you incorporate a review page that picks up our profile by attaching the page to our profile like adding paper to a copy machine ( I know it 's probably a little more detailed) but it would be perfect to click on the profile, read it , add a submit a review for this profile and attach the page omitting the descriptive information page that already exists. More guys will be prompted to submit instead of clicking these hyperlinks :
REVIEWS
SUBMIT
ADD INFO ( hence having to look up our profile for needed information.
: I also feel phone numbers should be google search denied. ad if our profile always says phone number ( she will provide ) omit that section in our profile with email only.I feel all of TER google search should be denied and have always felt a private community should be just that - private and viewable by only its members who have submitted reviews so prying eyes can no longer see any part of our reviews.Including profile information. Also please remove "juicy details" I for one do not like it sounds like a boy talking to his 19 yr old friend.
Thank you,
Angela

I don't agree. I want people to read my reviews and know what they may get. I don't want someone contacting me thinking I do stuff that I don't. Or not contacting me thinking I am not good enough. They can read my reviews and know I do great. I am fine with the google feature too. Just helps my business out.
If you want to opt out of juicy details etc, there is an area for provider's trying to hide something. It does what you are asking. Not say that is you, but why hide reviews, it only helps you!!!!!

I disagree with the argument that " making it easier will encourage fake reviews or reduce revenue." The time required to renter data, while not great, is annoying and error prone. It also occasionally results in duplicate pages for the same provider. Twice I have enter data as part of a review when the provider has switched agencies only to find that a new entry was created for the same individual. If you look at the UK site, Captain69, you will see that they have a button to submit a review that automatically repeats most of the contact and profile data. You are free to edit the data if you wish before entering the descriptions of the encounter. They also have a policy of changing profile data if enough more current reviews indicate a profile change (e.g. Gained weight, cut hair, now offers CIM, etc..). Without this feature a provider's profile remains frozen in time as presented by the first reviewer. We all know things change over time.
TER needs a way to discourage fake reviews. Making the process easier will only lead to an increase in fake reviews and increase in provider complaints about bad reviews as fake even if they are legit.
TER needs a way to generate revenue to support the site. Making the process easier to post reviews will lead to an increase in review submissions and perhaps a decrease in paid memberships and revenue drop. That would not be a good thing considering the amount of dollars required to maintain and support this site.
Currently those who find the process of submitting reviews tedious and a waste of valuable time are paying for their VIP status and generating revenue for TER which is valuable.
The one thing I like about TER is the lack of sponsorships, banners and ads all over the place. Visit other competing sites with poor support, maintenance, aesthetics and haven't been updated in years. You will also see ads, banners, and sponsorships everywhere which are a distraction
Unfortunately it looks like your attempt to purchase VIP membership has failed due to your card being declined. Good news is that we have several other payment options that you could try.
We thank you for your purchase!
Membership should be activated shortly. You'll receive notification!
