This site should consider abandoning its ten point rating scale, at least as it defines what means what.  

For one thing, grade inflation is rampant, with the majority of providers scoring in the 8-10 category.  But just as annoying is the inconsistent criteria.  

For example, I recently attempted to rate a  provider with a 10 for performance, the only perfect score I've ever given in that category.  The powers at TER  reduced my grade to a 9 because, apparently, my description didn't contain whatever acronym it takes to "officially" score 10.  

Meanwhile,  another review of the same provide was able to give a 10 with no penalty, yet his description is *very* vague, saying only that "several additional acronyms were served."  Some of my reviews have been disqualified altogether for saying things like that, yet in his case there's no problem with a 10.  What gives?

The way it is set up makes no sense.  The system is asking you to be objective and subjective at the same time.

I agree, it seems to me that women who get 10s a lot, can get 10s for doing much less than someone who doesn't get a 10 as often.  I think there should be a rating for performance, which is not reliant on sexual acts.  Right now it seems that ratings are largely based on sexual acts.  I think that a performance rating based on sexual acts is unhealthy for the women since it encourages more dangerous sex acts for higher scores.  Qualities such as role playing, the passion of the lady, the sensual decor of the incall location and other features do not seem as significant in the ratings.   I’d like to see a rating for performance based on these features, and a separate score based on the number of sex acts (including appearance, 3 ratings total).  If sex acts were important to a person then they would give great importance to that rating, but I am more interested in the passion of the experience.  I actually prefer a lady who is on the safe-side, it makes me feel more comfortable about possible STDs.  In the juicy details it is stated “This section should be used to describe the provider, the experience, and whether or not you enjoyed it in graphic emotional and sexual terms.”  How should we be objective in describing enjoyment in ‘graphic emotional and sexual terms’?
I have to say that TER has done a great job so far with their site.

It is not so much about what the "do" as what they offer.  If you find an incosistency (yes we do make mistakes) please hit the report a problem button so we can fix it.

Here is the policy:
In order to keep our performance ratings consistent, we set up the following system: An escort provider may only eligible to earn up to a 7, unless she also willing to performs the following during a session: Kisses With Tongue, Bare-Back Blow Job, Really Bi, Anal Sex, or More than One Guy. The addition of each offering will raise the score she is eligible for by one point.

. . . is already in the "services offered" section. If the performance rating is supposed to be objectively based on that, then shouldn't we expect all performance scores of a given provider be the same?

Sorry, but aren't those exactly the same things?  What's the difference?

I think what he meant was that "what she offers" is what is on the menu; "what she does" is what you actually got during the session that you review.

So if I'm offered a laundry list of activities,  decline some and accept others, she's eligible for a 10.  Essentially, that's what I'm hearing.  This contradicts what I know, which is that unless acronyms are spelled out in a review, the performance scores is downgraded.

My ATF is safety-conscious.  If I had my druthers, I'd give her a 10, but since TER directly correlates high performance with higher-risk activities and penalizes women who are extra-health-conscious, I cannot.  This is absurd.

The strength of TER lies in its detailed search engine, which enables one to find the alphabet soup of acronyms to each and everyone's liking, if one is so inclined.  The number system is unfair and unnecessary.

So, if a prospective client is not looking for certain activities that would qualify for over a "7" score...then the lady can have a number of "7"s, but how does he know if that means she recieved a "10" for those offered acts, which were then downgraded to a "7"...or if her performance for the acts offered were only a "7" in quality?

If he is looking for "10" quality in what is offered, but that carries the same score as a "7" quality for those activities...doesn't that actually confuse the scoring and render the scores misleading at best and useless at worst for any lady that has a limited menu?

Since what is offered is already listed in the profile and expended on in the text of the review, why shouldn't the performance score be based on a 10 point scale for how well she performed what is offered without the forced negative weighing of the scores?

Granted I ain't that bright, but seems the down grading of scores causes the scores to be less informative and therefore less usefull to the prospective clients that are attempting to utilise them as a research tool, if who he is researching has limited offereings...sorry, just thought I'd mention that...I'll go away now.

I see my ATF weekly, I have the best sex ever with her even though it is straight sex -- no BBBJ, occasional CBJ, a lot of LFK. The sex is always hot and passionate. It is truly "once in a lifetime", which is consistent with a 10; yet according to the standard it world be an 8. (Kissing with tongue with her is YMMV so it could be just a 7).

With many lives - LOL.... Seeing someone weekly who you like so much to say she's a Once in a lifetime - you must have died and gown to heaven after each session - I like that... And yes, I agree with you on how the rating system should be... Now, tell me who you're ATF... I know, your holding out so I don't soil her - might ruin your weekly experiences knowing I was there at some point - LOL

double rating... First rating simplifies her offered menu. Then the reviewers rating should be how he felt about what she offered - perfect - let's move on with this system regardless of TER. Post your rating in the brief description field - I'm considering this just for memory - since there is a chance it can be lower - or worse, raised....

I think I have done that; in some of my reviews. I wrote the performance rating in the text.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but here it goes.  I do DFK, BBBJ, am bi, do Greek, more than one guy, etc.  So, a guy writes a review of me and in the review says I was the best he's ever had.  In fact, he gushes about it.  He answers the questions about BBBJ, etc., saying I do all that.  He rates me a 10.  The staff lowers the score to a 9.  Why?  He told me he wrote to the staff with the report button, but never got a response.  I'm just curious what would cause a rating to be lowered, when it met all the criteria and he himself gave me a 10.  It's no big deal.  I'm just curious...

ok, I'm new so take my opinion with that in mind.

First thing, I get the performance rating to some degree.  But then on looks are we basing this rating on providers in this line of work or on the fact a Victoria's secret model is a 10 and back up from there.
Because I have made a few visits that are not 8's or 9's in looks.  I feel like I am getting jaded information from fellow hobbyists.  

I think performance can vary due to many reasons, but looks are looks.  Pretty or not so pretty, right?
