Suggestion and Policy

scoring should depend on the provider and not the client
Hextyn See my TER Reviews 1585 reads
posted

Hear me out - a provider can only get a 10 through anal or a double.  

And that seems fine on the surface.

But that 10 actually depends on the client and the client's capacity, does it not?  

If a client can't afford to book a duo, why should that affect a provider's score?

And if a client has ED and can't top for anal, or better yet, prefers to receive anal himself, why should that affect a provider's score?

I know this is just mumbling into the void, but it is backward that providers' scores are dependent on the income or performance of the client. I think my ability to get a 10 should not depend on if a man can afford to book the duo of his dreams or if a man has ED or simply prefers to bottom.  

Can someone make it make sense?

http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion-boards/ter-general-board-12/x-out-of-y-scoring-is-a-10-out-of-10-idea-1009688 and many other threads on General and S&P.  
.
Hextyn describes another example that shows how X-out-of-Y scoring is a 10-out-of-10 idea.
.
But first, a recap of the Scoring Rules (from https://www.theeroticreview.com/info_policies/reviewFAQ.asp?#B ).

In order to keep our overall performance ratings consistent, we set up the following system: An escort provider is only eligible to earn up to a 7, unless she performs one or some of the following during a session: Kisses With Tongue, Bare-Back Blow Job, Really Bi, Anal Sex, or More than One Guy. For each of these services that are performed, her potential max score is raised by one point, with 10 as an absolute maximum. Remember, it’s your review; within these guidelines you still get to decide what her score should be. You do not have to give her the 'extra point'.
.
No matter who is to blame, X-out-of-Y scoring accommodates getting a top performance score for the maximum services provided. No anal? No bi duo? No? No? No? Just the standard fare for a maximum score of 7? No problem! A 7-out-of-7 clearly shows it was a top performance. I have had many FANTASTIC 7-out-of-7s and 8-out-of-8s!
.
And a 7-out-of-10 also is more informative than a plain 7. "OK, we did BBBJ, anal, bi-duo, and who knows what else, but it was a "meh" experience, nowhere near a 10-out-of-10."  
.
And for those who are wondering, I have posted about X-out-of-Y many times before and I have posted the same cartoon before. "It's deja-vu all over again." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogi_Berra#"Yogi-isms"

that a ten performance score should reflect, not WHAT the provider performs, but HOW the provider performs.

 
What does it matter if the provider gives all the menu items that a ten now requires if they don't perform those things in a way that leaves the client with a wonderful experience?

 
I have seen providers who do all those things but for other reasons (attitude, professionalism, environment, etc) left me feeling less than fully satisfied.

 
On the other hand, I see a number of providers who, on account of being massage only, for example, cannot receive more than a 7 for their performance.   Yet I leave feeling way happier than after the aforementioned experiences.

 
If there were just one thing I'd love to see TER change, it would be this.   After all, a prospective client can easily find out what things a provider does by looking at the provider's profile and reading their reviews.   But whether or not the client was delighted with the provider's performance is what the performance score should be about.

I don't really get the obsession with the 10 score. So what, if someone is really into anal or 3-somes it's clearly within the structure that girls the offer one or both of those options but refuse to DFK or perhaps BBBJ won't have 10 for their performance scores.

 
Personally, and seems that more than few here have made the claim too, I tend not to have as much faith in the 10/10 or x/10 or 10/x scores (but the later are more credible to me) and especially so when someone is giving a number of reviews at that level.  Doesn't mean they are fake but does suggest to me a level differentiating the providers well is lacking.

 
Numeric scores in such broad categories as over all looks or performance will always be very crude metrics and problematic in terms of find detail information communicated.

As a provider that 8/10 sessions I would qualify for a 10 in performance, I agree with the OP; it's ridiculous that some of my provider friends that I think CRUSH me can never receive a 10 because they don't offer threesomes nor anal.

I also do not understand why anal is a point but as OP said, client receiving does NOT add a point.  And neither does Rimming, which giving is WAY less offered than anal.

You could always have a Looks, Performance, Experience ratings and that way girls who only qualify for 7s or 8s in performance but are AMAZING providers can receive that 10 in Experience and if your Duo with anal sucked?  You DO NOT have to give that provider the bonus points.  You can give them a 4 if you can truly justify it.

I think the descriptions being consistent are the real tell for what an experience with a provider will be like.  Also, always checking into the reviewers' other reviews can help- though I have had many clients that did their first (some times only) review for me, and just see me (as well as past clients that I know now only see one girl regularly and will do a review once or twice a year for them).

It's a sheisty world, scan multiple reviews (hint: they aren't all written in the same place) and look for consistency or severe inconsistency.  Also-- ask your current local fave!  Some of us are happy to recommend new flavors =)

X-out-of-Y is sort of 3 scores. I also think that X-out-of-Y would be easier to program and also easier to apply retroactively. Looks, Performance, Experience requires an extra new data field to be displayed. And I'm nearly certain that reviewers will not agree on what Performance and Experience are supposed to be.
.
Nomenclature problem: WHICH is experience and WHICH is performance? I think you and I are opposite in how we would use the terms. I think that "Experience" is the list of "experiments" (DFK, BBBJ, ...). Performance is how well each experiment was performed. (I'm thinking back to college science lab! And the cute TA!)
.
I can see using "Performance" for the list of experiments that were performed. But I don't see "experience" describing how well the experiment was performed. In future discussions, if any, let's make sure that we are specific in what we are referring to with each term.
.
(1) Looks is separate, as now.
.
(2) Y is the max allowed for that "Experience" = that session. No anal, no bi, no more than one guy, no DFK, blah, blah, blah ... The max "experience" score is a 7. Throw in anal and the experience is now an 8. Add DFK, 9. ...
.
(3) X is the Performance score for how well each "experiment" was performed, although I think that most reviewers don't rate individual sub-routine. ("Well, the BJ was a little too toothy but the ball licking sort of made up for it. The DFK was only 3/4 of the way in, so I rate that a 7.5. And ...") I think that most guys just react to the composite whole. "That was a 10 Performance!!!"
.
The TER Reviewers are already supposed to check that the Performance score (X) does not exceed the allowed maximum (which would become the Y). In other words, TER is already checking the Y values, just not recording them anywhere. Now, while checking a review, TER checkers would enter the Y (max allowed score) into a data field (that computes with the X field to display X-out-of-Y).  
.
If the reviewer gave a Performance score of 10 but the max allowed is a 7, 8, or 9, the automatically computed X-out-of-Y is a 7-out-of-7, 8-out-of-8, or 9-out-of-9. Likewise, when the Reviewer's X exceeds the TER Y, it maxes out the score:
Original Performance X --> revised X/Y
10 --> 10/Y becomes 7/7, 8/8, 9/9, or 10/10
I'm not sure how to treat lower Performance scores on lesser Ys.  
MAYBE:  
9 --> 9/Y becomes 7/7, 8/8, 9/9  
8 --> 8/Y becomes 7/7, 8/8
7 --> 7/Y becomes 7/7  
.
but MAYBE subtract the diff between X and 10:
9 --> 6/7, 7/8, 8/9
8 --> 5/7, 6/8, 7/9
7 --> 4/7, 5/8, 6/9
.
In summary, I think that X-out-of-Y is an easier way to implement a 3 score system.

The highest score possible for a paralyzed person is a 7. Unfortunately because of his disabilities he has no movement from the waist down & is in a wheelchair. I got a review that did not help my score it hurts. I don’t think it’s fair & either did my client who wrote the review. Many providers won’t even cater to disabled people. If the person is incapable why should it damage the providers score? In my opinion I should get bonus points. Same goes for those who only want BDSM.
