......Do any of you have access to the "Provider Only" message board? I meet all of the criteria required to have access to this section of the site however I have been denied access from the TER staff for over a year.  

I know it exists because several providers that I am close with have mentioned it to me.  

You're kidding us, right?  You have 5 posts total for all time.  That's hardly an "increase in your posting activity."  The ladies that post regularly are usually consistent in the 10-20 range month after month.  When I got access to the RO board MANY years ago, I was told I had to post for a few months and engage with the other members.  There was also a review requirement, which I believe was a minimum of 10 reviews. Things may have changed since then, because that was a long time ago.  

I would contact TER to inquire as to why you are still unable to access. TER has been good to me by always responding to my inquires. All you have to do ask. Best of luck to you.

Please note that she has just short of two pages on the Minnesota Board with many having some valuable content.
This is not the only board. Maybe it is the only one TER looks at But !! !

get access to is national, not regional, just like the GD board.  I don't see how 39 posts on the Minnesota board qualify her to get access to the NATIONAL PO board.  Regional boards tend to be threADS, not discussion.  Promoting yourself in your local market is not the same as engaging with other members over a broader spectrum of the membership here.  

seems enough, considering how few providers actually contribute anything but threADs, LOL

I have not seen Elle yet but plan to in the next few weeks. I can say she reply's to P-411 and Ter messages quickly, and professionally. In this day and time we need to promote and help quality providers.  

is still a "quality provider" AFTER you see her?   Lol

that can help answer that question.  Lol

... I love your Tryst ad!  I imagine it would be quite fun spending time with you!

she had no reviews between January and May of this year, and none since the May review, which was her lowest score ever for service even though the narrative appears better than the score.  I would like to hear from Looking, who we know from this board, either by his review or a post, before taking the plunge myself.  I don't give a lot of credit to "old" reviews (over 5 or 6 months), so those from previous years mean nothing to me in regards to a decision to see her.  I have known plenty of providers that burned out or otherwise went downhill in less than six months.  Even though Looking is currying a little favor before he goes (which I can't blame him for), I would still like to read his review AFTER the session has actually been consummated, even though my post was not overly-serious.   Lol

Twice.  She turned pro after that.  She's a very conscientious person.  And I believe generally well regarded in the Minnesota community.  

I think it’s interesting (actually kinda weird) that you’re going to base your decision to see a provider far from your home, whose rate is about double what you’re used to paying, on one review (or just a post) from someone with a total of four reviews over 3-1/2 years.

I can answer that for you. She is. Since my initial review of Elle in November 2021, I've seen her well over half a dozen times, the most recent in late May of '23. Obviously I'm not going to write up a review after every encounter, but I might provide an update on one someday. If anything, she's only gotten better- I'd easily give her 9/10's Appearance, 9's on performance (performance rating only limited by TER's guidelines) on my last handful of visits with her.

at varying price ranges, when I travel to other cities on business where they don't have Kgirl or Thai agencies, so I'm always looking for new options before the next trip.  I always use an alias when reviewing indies, I will do a half-dozen reviews, then change the alias.  I can maintain complete anonymity for CDL this way.  

I know a lady who is definitely a member of the PO board who has zero presence on any of the public boards.

She is not  a K Girl so nothing else seems to matter I guess.
Guess she gets the same treatment from him as Bia.

she is right about something, and disagree if I think she is wrong, the same as I do with everyone here.   She's a very nice person and we have exchanged some very cordial PM's.  I have also recommended her and her sister to others on my Regional Board.    I'm just a straight shooter and tell it like it is.  I don't suck up to providers just because they are providers, and if they want to be friendly with me, they have to be able to tolerate some honesty, which they seldom get from the fawning customer crowd.

How are you able to know so much about me ? With 55 + oks on p-411 you have no idea how much I travel, pay for providers or much of anything else. A source I trust ( and a well established Ter member ) Recommended her to me.

I have way more than 5 posts

Well I meet all the requirements listed by the website itself so..... 🤷‍♀️

I didn't have any reviews during that time because my house burned down at the end of February and all my senior/hospice rescue and foster dogs died so I wasn't exactly in the best space mentally. My dogs were my everything to me and I'm still completely shattered over what happened.  To this day I still can't go a full 24 hours without breaking down and sobbing uncontrollably.  

hobby in Los Angeles, it means that on weekdays, I will sometimes have a commute of up to 90 minutes (or longer during rush hour) to LA to see a provider for two hours (five hours minimum round trip including the drive time).  If I lived in a more rural area like Redding or Fresno, where choices were few, I would probably be willing to drive further, too.  

that I was replying to CDL’s post, not to you… don’t you?

So sorry to hear.

board participation is a judgment call, there is no set number.  When I was new and trying to get access to the RO board, one of the support people told me they also evaluate on login frequency.  One thing that can improve your frequency is to log onto your account at least once a day, even for a short period of time, rather than once every few days.  That way, you get more a variety of other members to chat with, because some people are limited on when they can log on due to their work schedule, so there are different people here each day depending on the time of day it is.

I've seen Elle's ads for the last few years.

Your preferences are noted, but I think this "didn't see 'er" review probably belongs in the Minnesota forum. Nothing you mention disqualifies her from participation in the provider only forum, which was the topic.

If you don’t want to see her don’t.  I’m not sure anyone cares about your rationale. Move along.

for Elle that she’s priced herself out of what you consider "going rate”.

You seem really embittered about a lady you've never even met.

I know, me too. They're all gone, all my dogs are gone

If I ever allow you the privilege of meeting me, we will discuss this inaccurate description of my character.
