Re: So we have to select "new provider" in order to be able to access all of her profile options...
... even if the provider already has reviews?
While the beta was being tested, I requested that TER make the autopopulated review FORMS editable. They are missing out on the collection of a lot of valuable data by locking the forms.
.
There used to be a big problem with Duplicate Profiles (that launching a review from an existing Profile should reduce). To prevent a TER Admin from creating a duplicate Profile, I used to begin my reviews with something like, "This is a review of Coco, TER ID 176480. She recently moved from another agency (A Paradise) to this one (R Secret), hence the new phone and website. (This is NOT the same Coco as TER ID 151750.) ..."
.
If you want to enter your own data on the Review Form, I SUGGEST (to TER, that is) THAT TER MAKE THE AUTOPOPULATED REVIEW FORMS EDITABLE!!
.
If not, you can start a "New Review" but include the statement that "This is a review of Name, TER ID #######." so they don't create a duplicate Profile.

That's not a bad idea, to get the opinions on record, as you'd like to see accomplished, even if they aren't publicly displayed. As long as people understand that filling that out won't change the profile.
It will probably create a fair amount of manual work for the admins which is usually automatic. And you're absolutely right. If people start using the new provider option to write reviews of existing providers and they don't include a very clear statement of who is being reviewed like your example, that will lead to a cluster fuck of duplicate profiles.
(Also, the paragraph glitch has been fixed.)
