Why?

because some do that.

Some gents no longer play, for various reasons, but have tons of experience to offer. Some others don't review because many women no longer want them. Then there is the downside of writing reviews for the guys. I am curious as to why you connected the two tough. Interesting topic.

I am sure there are a number of regular posters here who write and give advice using their handle and reviews using their alias —- or reverse the procedure .

For me to be eligible for the top 100 list I need a new review every 3 months. Not everyone writes reviews. I understand why & the alias usage I just thought why not inquire with my TER gentlemen. I thought reviews helped the community.

that at least one of your clients you see within a 3 month period would write a review for you, if you asked them.  Do you ask?

I think information, wherever it comes from can be of value!

The General Board is a forum for one to  
espouse about whatever is relevant, and it has
zero to do with writing reviews.  

tell you how I see both sides of it.  When someone posts advice, but is not showing any reviews, do you take it as fact, or with a grain a salt?  This is the dilemma in posting without showing your reviews.  On the other hand, I can appreciate the dilemma the poster has if, like me, he sometimes posts something controversial on the discussion boards.  Believe it or not, there are providers who will not see TER members who have political or social views contrary to theirs.  The way they know that is when you are reviewing with the same username that you are posting with.  (I have a workaround for that, but I won't go into here unless someone asks me to.)  

But I don’t write as many new reviews as I used to. Reason being is that I’m regular with a handful of ladies and repeat far more than I take a new one for a spin. I’ll re-review every so often, but probably only see 3-5 new ladies a year, but play at the very least every other week. I imagine I’m not the only one.

... do so..  That's their prerogative.  

I'll take the bait. What is your work around for not reviewing with the same name you are posting with?

name that you post with is that it's fairly easy for some providers to figure out who you are, and if you write a review that is less than flattering, she can make future hobbying difficult.  I learned this the hard way when I was posting and reviewing with the same name on another site.  

If one is "made" by a provider after writing a review with his alias, how does that help ? Wouldnt the provider connect it to his persona/number/pii information?  

I think he is saying that it works with high volume girls because they won't be able to figure out who wrote it among the crowd.

There is a large section of providers who are anti-review.  When I first started I did write reviews.  But now if I see someone I'll only write a review if they request it.  None have.  I would make exception for really poor performance, since obviously the wouldn't want a review for that.  But I've never really had a bad experience.  Most of the providers I see already have reviews so mine would be redundant in most cases anyhow.

You notice that when there is a good post and good follow up discussions that a few "certain" TER posters vanish?

Bia there is a bit of irony here at play.
Your original question is, i think, a good one. But you set yourself up for “advice” from said posters.
There is obviously a lot of sad lonely men that spend far too much time on the boards, turning into a form of social media.  

it's a lot easier for a provider who sees 6-8 customers in a week to match each one to their review than it is for providers who see 30+ customers a week, on average.  Add to that the fact that the majority of Asian agency girls don't read their reviews at all, and you have a safe space if you just wait two weeks to write the review.  That's 60-plus sessions ago for the average agency girl.  You get it, rocket doesn't, although I didn't read his content.  This has worked for me for 13 years.  

That's not what I asked tho. I get the part you said.  

your conclusion is wrong, too.  Indies don't know my real life persona.  When I book an indie, I will give her my first name and two provider references from the last 90 days.  If she wants more than that, then I move on to the next lady on my list.  You are assuming something can happen that won't, so you still don't get it.  

These are your words:

where I reviewed for 4 years before reviewing here that low-volume providers can usually figure out who the reviewer is if the review is thorough, as mine tend to be.  CDL is not the same as any other alias because it is the name I post under, and because I tend to be frank and oftentimes controversial in my posts, I learned that there are providers who will not see me if they know I'm CDL.  You will likely have the same problem for the same reason if you post detailed indie reviews under your username.  Not all providers are gracious about respecting the POV of the reviewer if it differs from their own perception of themselves as has been demonstrated countless times by providers attacking reviewers here whether it was deserved or not.  You can't blame them for wanted to protect their brand.  Since you don't really see indies and have been here a relatively short time, perhaps you should see some, tell them your handle, review them, and see how they react to your reviews.  

Aren't you bashing others by claiming they're bashing others???

was your "trigger" word?          (Sorry, you walked into that one.   Lol)  

LOL....  "trigger" words

OK thank you for the response. I think what I was missing is that providers if they know who you are on the board will also tell other providers that, and since you only go by refs and not screening that info can carryover. This only execerbates if you use your screen name to book (even tho you claim you don't do it).  

I have not posted reviews for years. the only time i will is a cash and dash or other dangers and that will likely be  on another site where all you need is one sentence or a comment. when I was a newbie I thought doing a lot of reviews would serve as a reference, nobody cared. also when i asked providers if they mind if i posted a review, all said no or I wish you would not. keep in mind there are fake reviews, the worst site is r--m--s and that goes both ways. maybe its just luck but I dont get turn down much except now and then they wont do outcall to my hotel. no deposits for me ever.

I won't write reviews for ladies who are in my top ATF or high demand already.  It's selfish, but I'd rather see them 2-3 times a week versus none or only once.
