Is everyone aware of the new policy that  

First, I don't mean this as rude as it sounds, but where have you been? This was a big hub bub when the rule was changed last month.

The overwhelming majority of your reviews have you as exactly that, an "8" in appearance

Once the maximum score was established (7 to 10), reviewers would rate performance at that level. As I have said many times, I have had some FANTASTIC 7-out-of-7s.  Based on Profile claims (I don't avail myself of everything claimed to be offered), I have also had some 7-out-of-10s (and worse  .    

I'm in total agreement with Ernestine. As a client I feel TER should permit how we viewed provider performance and NOT based on arbitrary activities. Way to go TER, you just shot yourself in the foot with this new ratings roll out. It's unreliable and it sucks! TER, are you listening to both providers and clients? Most everyone is unhappy!

... given your average performance score is 8.71 and you're eligible for up to a 9 in a MF date.  Plus your profile says you're Really Bi, so one way to be eligible for a 10 is to have sessions with MF couples (I don't mean doubles with another provider; those would go under different profiles of course and they too would be eligible for a 10).

Ironically her website lists every sexual arrangement EXCEPT solo female, so I'm not sure if she's really bi or not.

...more than the scores you're complaining about. Most of us stay away from drama queens.  

IMO, Ernestine is in the group hurt most by the new rating system. I don't know her personally and I agree 8.71 is a high score. Obviously she has worked hard to make that mark, good for her! Clearly, some of her clients believe her performance warrants a 10 even without anal. It's baffling to me why she should be penalized in anyway. She wasn't downgraded before the roll out, why now? And as a client I am more interested in what her actual client score is rather than TER's mark down. Do clients really give her a 10 or is it really a 9? There is no way of telling. It's not fair to her and it's an injustice to clients that rely on the ratings. Sure she can count on bi-activities to up it slightly but the fact remains her scores are skewed downward. It stinks and there are no redeeming features in this new rating method.  I see no justification for the new system at all.  

I think most clients do put a lot of stock in the ratings. I do! Plus I like Ernestine's spunk and admire her for standing up for herself. To me this would help her business rather than hurt it. She's right on target. Makes me want to meet her, I'll bet she's awesome.

Another good reason the new system sucks. I want to know what the clients actual score is rather than having it based on arbitrary activities.

It has been a few months since I posted a review, and do not generally look at this board, so I was taken aback when a review was rejected of a provider to whom I gave a Ten and who I knew possessed the required attributes, but I did not engage in all the options during my session.  As my earlier scores reflect a different scoring system, there is now absolutely no continuity,  My reviews tend to have high scores because I do very thorough research, and am rarely disappointed with the ladies I see.  If I have had an "off the charts" experience, others should be aware of it.  It is unfair to the providers, and it is unfair to those who rely on reviews, to have the scoring changed and so cannot reflect the criteria of earlier reviews.  

I prefer to READ THE REVIEWS.  Ever heard the saying one man's 6 is another man's 9.  

I get the whole, wish I had 10s thing... but you are demanding that you must be. Your reviews say otherwise.

I believe that's a bit of an over statement as there have discussion of this for about a month now and quite a few of us like the effort to limit the rate inflation that has so many 10s.

And I'm wondering if one of the issues here doesn't derive from that aspect entirely.

Yep, I agree. My approach in selecting providers is exactly the same. And I had the exact same experience in having a review rejected by TER support. TER's new system is beyond ridiculous!

Somewhere out there is a provider who doesn't do anal or orgies but wants those 10s so badly that she is going to ask her clients to say she did anal just to get the 10.

i think it is about time we had a policy with some teeth in it..

I am not VIP and can't see the scores. My decision to see girls from TER was based on the summary in the general section. Not sure if I am the minority among guys, but if it makes you feel better: some people can't see your scores

Points available or less than that, whether the reviewer just mentions that they are giving seven out of seven or eight out of 10 or whatever,  or TER could put it somewhere on the review or the profile what the maximum amount of points available for that person are.

Because I'm not going to do Greek just to be eligible for a 10.  

Instead of coercing you to do something you don't want to do in order to get a higher number, you might find that clients will pay much more attention to those reviews that show an 7 or 8 than they do now.

I really believe this...this odditiy of needing 10/10 all the time to feel you provide a qulaity experience is over.

why should one that does anal but does not rim get credit, but (pun intended) i, as a rimmer, cannot get credit?...or why can we not get credit if we perform anal on the client?

Don't think it's enough to make me change my no greek rule. I had someone yesterday who had to score me an 8 even though they wanted to score me a 9 bc I didn't offer DFK OR GREEK in that session.  Well I won't be doing things I don't like just to get s higher rating. In the long run your clients will see you are doing things out of your comfort levels....and who really enjoys that? It may even mean less clients for me, but I prefer quality or volume anyway.  
Shove the new rule up their butt not yours.  

Excellent post Maddy. You're solidly in the higher end providers that are hurt most by the new rating system. BTW, you have a great web page.

...the service is stated as "kiss - yes, with tongue". It doesn't say anything about DFK. LFK counts as well. If you don't kiss at all or you kiss with lips only then you don't get the point.

I don't kiss so I won't be getting any future points for that. I may peck on the lips now but that is it. I have to change that on my site but so far hadn't been an issue.

Thank you I appreciate that!

I really couldn't care less if a woman doesn't take it up the ass, do gang bangs, or enjoys munching carpet, but BBBJ and Kissing is huge to most mongers.  

And that is your opinion. I am very ok with having a small number of clients. I'm not here for the money in the typical f way, if I was ny rates would be higher. I am here bc p4p no matter the amount is my kink. This hobby is my kink. And I work a day job. I don't particularly think kissing is a deal breaker and hasn't been so far. What was a dealbreaker was me faking something on an appointment. That isn't fair to the gentlemen spending his time and money with me. I offer PSE now because I found my groove for me. I am not a girlfriend experience and I don't wanna cuddle you. I want the client who has some dark and dirty fantasies he can't share and kissing goes beyond that. Anyone in or seeking fetish knows that. I am an alt provider and very ok with providing a non typical affair.  

I'm not the OP. I'm not concerned and won't be using TER and review system much longer anyway. Honestly,sick of all the jacked up bitter angry men in here.

But this was your statement in your post above:
"I, for example, am now strongly considering offering anal because of this rule."
Why would you say that? Why would you even think of doing something you are not comfortable doing, to increase your potential scores, if you don't actually care about the scores?

Wrong. Read again. That was the OP AS WELL. That is copied from her OP.  

Yup. One can pick and choose. I'm not a mold of everyone else. Thanks.

Im glad to hear that you value the actual content of the review as opposed to scores. At first I took them a little personal, because it is similar to a credit score which we somehow were duped into believing the higher the number the better. But as time went on, and I actually asked my clients what drew the to me I learned otherwise. Im proud of my seven's in performance. I cater to a niche of gentlemen that are looking for specific services that do not include activities which would earn me a higher score in performance  Having said that, any score below an 8  in appearance will have me running to the mirror naked to check to see that all is still in the right places. Nothing that more squats at the gym can't fix though.  Then I laugh at my folly because the scores are so silly. At the end of the day personally I feel chemistry is the most important factor. so Im glad they added that though I have not seen where the chemistry factor shows up. I appreciate my reviews, though most of my regular repeat clients dont even write them. This is where the buck stops, did he come back to me? Yes.... Thats all the validation I need.
