As the person who gave Hextyn that review, everything they say above is 100% accurate. I gave them a 10 in performance,  not an 8.  Hextyn has always been a 10 for me and is one of my ATFs.  

TER support has updated the score to a 9, adding in BBBJ, but they still say we didn't have anal sex.  I assume that their definition of "anal sex" only includes anal intercourse where the provider is the receptive party, although it doesn't say that in the guidelines.  

you being bi in general doesn't count.

You only get the extra point for anal if YOU take the anal, not if you stick something in your customer's ass.  The bisexual point usually occurs in a duo with another provider and the customer.  TER only allows points for activities that are described in the session, not what is possible from your profile.  The narrative describes DFK and BBBJ, but only HE got ass-fucked.  Max score is therefore a 9, which is what the score is showing.  If it was an 8, it has been changed to 9.  If the reviewer didn't YOU received the anal, you don't get the point.  It's not complicated.  

First of all, the TER should not be able to change stuff like that. And If I was you......I would be bitching about it.  

"TER should not be able to change stuff like that?" LMAO. It's their site; they can do whatever the fuck they want. What's so hard to understand? They usually don't do anything when people bitch (especially when at least part of the bitching is because people didn't understand how the criteria work) so everyone should be very happy with this outcome.

He gave you a '10.' That was his personal assessment based on *his* life: Once in a Lifetime. If you meet the criteria for an 8, after that it should be up to us whether you were a 9 or a 10. Just looking at your website, your services are rare, and while not unique, very hard to find. One could almost say that having sex with you, with your qualifications, is a OIAL experience.  
   
I gave a provider a '9.' I've been doing this for quite some time and there are very few who would have qualified for that score... and she's one of them. Then knocked it down to an 8. Then they disallowed my post that was a reply to a shill for her but included a complaint about the score reduction. Here are links to the shill and the review. I DON'T GET IT. She was a 9 to me and nothing I've learned about TER scoring since has change that assessment.
 
This was the message: "My review is up: They slightly edited the text, AND, they reduce my Performance score by 1 point. SMH." I removed the criticism and they posted it.
   
And the review: http://www.theeroticreview.com/reviews/detail/bonnie-review-by-vigerous-2481522

The guidelines for submitting reviews only says "Anal Sex".  It does not specify what kind of anal sex or who gets penetrated by a penis. Getting penetrated by a tongue apparently doesn't count.  What we did, by any rational definition, was "anal sex".  TER either needs to clarify that in the guidelines or be a bit more open about what they say constitutes "anal sex".

the BBBJ initially because it was near the end of the review.  Usually, that's a foreplay activity and appears near the beginning.  That might be what happened initially to get you to an 8.   At least someone caught it and they gave you the right score.  

I would be mocking you, but we have to take our entertainment where and when it comes, right?  Lol

This is a job for X-out-of-Y Scoring Man!  
.
X-out-of-Y scoring is a 10-out-of-10 suggestion.

and many, many more going back many years. TER!!! How about it? Update the scoring rules!!

While I don't necessarily agree with the review ratings rules, I do submit problem reports when I see reviews that do not justify the performance score and TER admin will accept that and downgrade the score. That's how the system works.

by a tongue is called "rimming," and would never be considered anal sex by an experienced hobbyist.  I appreciate you supporting your girl and showing your loyalty, but if you really believe rimming is the same as anal sex, you need to get more experience.  Take a poll here if you want on whether rimming is anal sex or not, but you are not going to like the results in light of your own narrative.  

As a 10 inch performance.

I agree with this.  

for subjectivity within the formula framework.  Otherwise, you will have guys giving 10's for hand jobs at massage parlors and car-date blowjobs.  Leaving some objectivity in the mix means more reviews will make sense when placed side by side.  

Correction: A "hand job at a massage parlor" or "car-date blowjob" would be eligible for a 7-out-of-7, not a plain 10. (Also eligible for a 2-out-of-7 if she scratched your dingus with a hangnail from her poor manicure.)  
.
The objectivity is in the Y. The subjectivity is in the X. The fairness and usefulness is in the X-out-of-Y score. I have had some FANTASTIC 7-out-of-7s.  When scanning reviews, some might be more inclined to follow up with a 7-out-of-7 than a 7-out-of-10 because they aren't interested in all of the extras needed to qualify for the extra points.

When I said, "Otherwise . . . .", it means, "if there were ONLY subjectivity in grading and the present system is scrapped", then you would have guys giving higher scores than what are presently allowed for activities that are limited to a lower score under the present system.  Then I gave two examples.  Next time I will write it all out instead of saying "otherwise."  Of all people, I especially want to make sure YOU understand my posts.  Lol

Judge #4 - Is that Rudy Giuliani?!    

I read it as, "The present system allows for subjectivity within the formula framework." which only allows for a SINGLE number and an implied or deduced or unspecified and often disputable objective maximum. Then, I took, "Otherwise, [using a DIFFERENT system, other than the present system, perhaps impposter's X-out-of-Y system] you will have guys giving 10's for hand jobs ...".  
.
I thought you misunderstood X-out-of-Y. Your "otherwise" = "other than the present system" was rather non-specific. I give it a 4-out-of-10 for clarity.

I was under the impression that it just has to be on your profile, even if it doesn't happen. I have read reviews of gals with 10/10s all over the place and no mention of anal sex.  I say that but it's been awhile. To me, I kind of think it's bull. You rate on how the experience made you feel.  It shouldn't matter if you hit all those points. It comes out by reading the review.  Because some people don't have that great of sex lives and to them an ordinary boink is off the charts. So let them be happy.  I just really don't like the free membership for reviews. Why not free membership for board posts.  Especially when someone made a comment that I need to fix something cuz some liar said I swallowed every last drop. How about he shouldn't lie. I think I am pretty vocal about things. But some of you guys take reviews as always true and that is not fact. I have had very good fake reviews. I still report them cuz it bugs me. How does it not sink in that giving free membership promotes fake reviews?

Steph,

for years, i.e., anal just had to be listed in your profile as available, but I think TER finally realized that they had scores of ladies getting 10-10's who had anal listed in their profile but the review narratives indicated that the anal service was not actually being delivered, so it was making a mockery of the review system.  Anal is always YMMV anyway depending on how much sausage the guy is packing, so it makes perfect sense that the extra point should only be possible if it actually happens.  I don't remember the year it changed, but it seems to be it was around the time they switched to the beta version of the website software.  I could be wrong, so if someone knows a more exact date, feel free to correct me.

This is a story where 9 is the correct number, and that's what I gave her, a '9.' I've been doing this for quite some time and there are very few from my past who would have qualified for that score... and she's one of them. TER then knocked it down to an 8 and lightly edited my General Details section.  
 
After I noticed this, they disallowed my first post on questioning this practice: "My review is up: They slightly edited the text, AND, they reduce my Performance score by 1 point. SMH." I removed all but "my review is up," and they posted it.
 
I DON'T GET IT. Can I get some feedback? She was a 9 to me and nothing I've learned about TER scoring since has change that assessment.
 
And the review: http://www.theeroticreview.com/reviews/detail/bonnie-review-by-vigerous-2481522

according to the "guidelines for review submission" which you should probably have a look at, the narrative of your review earned at least a 7 and possibly an 8, which they did gave you the benefit of the doubt.  The base max score is a 7.  You did not say you received DFK, which would have raised you max score one point, but it appears they did construe her oral services to be without a cover, so you got the point for that one, bringing your max total score to the 8 you received.  

I see your point about the reserved terminology. It's terminology that I usually use, just didn't on this one for whatever reason (probably because I was blown away). SMH. However, I take issue with your assumptions, in particular, those about my knowledge. I know the industry lingo, LOL. A look at any of my other reviews would have revealed this to you.
 
I would have thought they would reject it, not rescore it, seemingly on a whim. (It's been a while since we've had a girl around here who inspired a high number of reviews in a short time like she did.)
 
Following is the type of review that gets a girl a 9. After perusing, I found lots of 9s that are similar to this one. Which of our reviews read like we were having an *exceptional* time, compared to the other who was having fun with a girl who went the extra mile?:  
 
"[Greeted] me in a skimpy pair of panties and bra. Immediate DFK--long, hard, hot. Continued this pretty much throughout our session. I had showered so skipped that and went right to the bed, kissing like two horny teens the whole time. Disrobed and went down BBBJ. Good, not great technique but she was doing her best! So sweet. Covered me up and rode CG, the mish, then doggy. After I popped, cuddled up, and got me hard again. Asked me for CIM -- took while but I obliged."
 
A 9?! That's ridiculous... Except that he says it was a 9. A quick search uncovered some really weird scoring practices on TER and some very well thought out methods to improve it.

Ok. I get that. Makes sense now. But there is still a problem w fake reviews.

I was cruzing the forums and came upon this one, and then recognized this thread, and then I read my replies, and then (Dude, Where's My Car) I noticed that I had replied to this post of yours two days later, but somehow put it in the wrong place. And then I realized I had obliquely referenced my response in a recent reply to you (couldn't tell you where), so I present it to you. My reply, repeated elsewhere in this thread, is, that's some shit talking down like that. Oops, no, I said it differently:

EDIT: So this guy gets his 9 posted for a pretty lame session as he describes it, and I, who said in my review I could forget it was a service, get downgraded to an 8. That's just fucked up. I doubt it even happens that much. I got an unlucky mod too lazy to do more than look for abbreviations for sex acts.
