I was calling the lady a liar. If he was feeding her this bs then he is the lair and the weasel.
This is entirely second hand, inadmissible in court and I never got any names, so this may have nothing to do with this group of Mods.... And I generally enjoy most of the discussions I've read here.
Had a recent tryst with a very well reviewed provider who tours a lot. We had the luxury of time to get to know each other pretty well, and TER was one of the topics we spent some time discussing. Her one complaint had to do with someone who identified himself as a TER Moderator, one who "Reviews the Reviews" and who claimed that he could affect her business by either editing or keeping out good reviews for her, if she didn't provide free samples.
Now, I don't think that you folks wear an official TER uniform of the day, have a corporate badge on a lanyard around your neck or even a pointy gold badge to identify yourselves to the general public as the keepers of our loose morals, but she seemed convinced that she was dealing with someone in an authority position.
I also know first-hand how expensive this hobby can be and I only see a handful a year. I'm sure that it must cost a fortune to 'stay on top of the trends' in this industry, so to speak. I just hope that positions of power are not being used to take advantage of one of the little people.
The guy was a fucking liar, and should be reported.
To expound on this just a bit, TER moderators have NOTHING to do with the review process. The people that do aren't even in this country, so I guaratee you that this person passing himself off as a "Reviewer of reviews" was simply a scamster preying on what he perceives as vulnerable providers.
But any providers that THINK that mods can influence their reviews and are giving away free samples in the hopes of influencing some poor hardworking, underpaid mod are free to PM me. jk lmao.
Seriously though, people like this give TER and hobbyists in general a bad name, you should urge her to report this guy to admin.
you would not believe how many PM's we get from providers asking to edit or remove details from their reviews. As moderators we have nothing to do with the review process, we cant even write reviews!
That who should the ladies be reporting all the harassment and fake reviews and members who are allowed to harass them. I thought the proof was on the reviewer not the escort. You have no way of knowing when I list a review is I have seen the girl or are just being a jerk. Many guy hear don't even see escorts as they can't afford it, their hobby is to harass the girls.
I find it insulting that you just assume the escort is lying, and never bother to question the intention of the man leaving the review.
Too many of the ladies say when they try reporting something to admin, they are banned. they don't seem to care who is harassing the girls or even if the jerk is posting fake reviews because the girls refuses to see him.
I think it's important enough that it doesn't get buried within a thread. I completely agree with Gambler's comments. It was most likely a scammer trying to pull something over on an unsuspecting girl.
Moderators not only have no control over the review process, we are also not allowed to submit reviews. I tried once, just to test the system, and we're actually locked out from submitting them, so it's not just that we "aren't supposed to". The reason is primarily because a rogue mod COULD, by writing reviews exhibit some additional power. TER has over 740,000 reviews in it's database. That information is worth a lot of money to the ownership of the site. Why would they be so foolish as to let some volunteer destroy that value to get a deal on some poontang? Ladies flirt with the mods all the time in hopes of some preferential treatment. Not that I don't appreciate the attention, but frankly I don't have a fraction of the power that you seem to think we do. (sorry to the other mods for popping that bubble, lol)
reported to admin.
None of us wearing red uniforms have anything to do with the review process itself.
While I have serious doubts that said hobbyist is a moderator, it should be reported.
The possibility also remains that the provider is telling a tale.
All they send me was THIS!
I threw your uniform in with the white clothes before sending it to you.
Though you're flattering yourself with the enhancement.
It's sort of a retirement bonus - ladies, feel free to PM me 
Hey, it's worth a shot.
Puck. You put up with a lot of my shit. Tried to tell me this and that. Turned me onto your excursions in the East.
Now I know!
A FUCKING LIAR and a fucking weasel trying to barter for free pussy. If anyone thinks this is a power trip being a TER moderator they should come walk in our shoes for a week.
These kind of accusations really piss me off. We come here and volunteer hours and hours on end every day. I can tell you the only thing I get is the satisfaction of giving back to the system that I took from successfully for years. Plus it is fun to be able to see behind the curtain for a change.
If anyone ever hears this bullshit again you can call them a liar because it aint so.
I'd take the direct blunt approach. No sugar coatings.
I don't have a clue if some guy without a name is a mod or no. The point is he claimed to be a mod because he thought it'd get him some free pussy. I damn well guarantee you there are guys CLAIMING to be mods on here and on other boards. Some might be, most are scam artists, nothing more. Couple gals have told me they've heard that kind of line. The gys who pitched the line may well be liars but the providers who say they were propositioned like that probable aren't.
I was calling the lady a liar. If he was feeding her this bs then he is the lair and the weasel.
Gag, Phil, and other current moderators have weighed in on the question so I don't need to replicate their responses. But in fact, there was a time where there were legitimate grievances against certain Moderators abusing their positions. They aren't here anymore. It takes time to rebuild integrity and regain trust, and the current group of moderators include long time respected hobbyists, people who have been active in the TER community for years.
All have impeccable credentials and cachet in the "hobby community", except for Gagambler, who's been an exceptional douchebag since the Johnson administration.
He lied to her, or she is lying to you.
I have been an exceptional douchebag since the Eisenhower years, not Johnson. lol
Guess that makes you an exceptionally OLD douchebag!
I feel downright young around here.
and I am much more of an asshole than a douchbag. lol
Shit! Still waiting for that drink mother-fucker....
Not the risk of losing Mod status (believe it or not, it's more of a pain than a reward), but the risk of a pandering charge. You see, as mods just managing board traffic, there is no direct benefit from the services provided by Providers on the board; BUT, if the mod takes a direct benefit (free or discounted sex) from the Provider IN EXCHANGE for preferential treatment, then the Mod is subject to jail time as a Panderer. That threat alone is enough to keep hands off of hot stoves.
Beyond that, the site itself monitors what the Mods do on the boards and immediately investigates any complaints of the nature you described. The site knows who we are, so the first level would be to match names. If the name matches, then they get very, very serious.
If there is ever even a scintilla of suspicion that a Mod is trying to scam anyone based on his status of being a Mod, Admin comes down on that Mod like a ton of bricks. Chances are, the Mod will be banned for just suspicion so that the site doesn't take an unwarranted chance.
Mods cannot affect reviews, however there is the possibility that a Mod can delay the posting of an ad until it falls to the 2nd page, and thereby affecting business. Theoretically, there could be the chance of that kind of threat, but the safeguards in place by admin effectively make it highly improbable.
I have a feeling that either the provider was making shit up, or the guy trying to scam her was. If either was willing to discuss it with anyone, then why didn't they contact the site?
What next? "Concupiscence?" Don't you know you're talking to a bunch of dolts here? LOL!
which is the science of catching all your cum in a cup like on the bukkaki porn sites.
Waste not, want not.
LOL! Correction (co-erection?) accepted!
you're leaving out the dullards and the fogies, not to mention the airheads.... etc. polyamorous stupidity is after all polymorphic!
I do not know if that kind of behavior is still going on with the new TER mods, but we all know the old mods ran half the good providers off with that shit. But keep in mind half the hobbiest are doing the same thing to the girls. Why do you think we have to scroll BP, CV and other sites to find the girls as they won't post here anymore. I see it all the times a girl with great reviews from old time members, all of a sudden have a real bad review slamming them. Now common sense would tell you that some loser lied and wrote the review out of revenge and most likely hasn't even met the girl. Yet the mods still list those reviews even though we all know they are fake, and by them refusing to post anything that is not explicit enough, stops half the members hear from posting reviews.
AGAIN, what 1 guy says in a review doesn't mean its true, it's just some jerks opinion. I have heard many provider won't come to TER just because they are so offended but some of the vulgar posts and the harassment from he losers.
I personally know many escort that where banned because they complained about some guy harassing them. These same girls on on other review sites and still get great reviews but are lost to TER forever.
The biggest mistake is giving away FREE VIP for reviews as many guys are listing reviews of girls that haven't even been around for months. I would think since we are all her LOOKING FOR THE LADIES that the ladies would be treated with respect and feel safe her.
"The old mods ran half of the good providers off..." Now YOU'RE just making shit up.
You had a decent original point...and the mods responded well.
You were INFORMED that mods have NOTHING to do with reviews. We don't see them before they go up, can't alter them, and have NO access to the review process at all.
But...apparently you're unable to read and comprehend that when you were told before.
You've really got nothing but a bunch of fucked up ideas and conspiracy theories. You talk a lot...and don't "know" shit.
The "biggest mistake" is letting people like you spread this kind of bullshit to others. Drama Queen.
Again, if he hates this place so fucking much, he should just take his marbles and go the fuck home.
I really wouldn't get too upset about what he/she has to say.
If he/she wants to talk about his or her previously banned accounts he/she can email me at [email protected]
Regarding the provider scorned comment, I think I am going to have to agree with ya GaG.
Btw- The moderators have 0 access to reviews, none, zip...nada.

I won't repeat the parts of it that have already been refuted. So, since when have all the good, experienced providers fled TER? I don't know what boards you're reading, but they post here, on the local boards and even, sometimes, on P&R. I don't read the other boards much but I'm sure you'll find them there, too. As for BP, I don't think you'll find them there, either. Sure, there are some girls who don't like the atmosphere here and won't post. But they sure as hell value their TER reviews and always appreciate it when a positive one is posted. If they didn't give a shit about TER, then why do so many link to their reviews here?
Sounds like a scene straight out of Steven Soderbergh's movie "The Girlfriend Experience", which is probably where he got the idea from.
Scammers exist in every industry, they just mutate to fit.

All work no pay no benefits or retirement program hell I may as well go back to the old
country.
6969 don’t believe everything you hear. We play and pay just like everybody else.
Hell I’d lose my job if I didn’t pay and then I’d have no benefits at all.
