with the way reviews are re-scored.

Recently, a client called me, quite upset, because he gave me 10 scores, which were changed.  I meet all the criteria for a 10 (there's nothing I don't offer).  

Here is a direct quote from his review:
"This was by far the best sexual experience of my life."

Now, if that ain't a "10," what is?

He specifically states in his review that I gave him DFK, BBBJTC, all positions, touching pussy inside and out, and offered Greek.  What more does it take for you guys to leave it a "10" and not arbitrarily reduce the score to a "9?"

"The 10 rating should be reserved for a provider who just lived up to your most powerful fantasy."
He says I did that.  I must have, because he sees me now every time he comes to Chicago.

"Again, please try to save the 8 and 9 ranks for situations where out of the ordinary services are provided (i.e.  Blow Job - without condom, Kissing with tongue, Really Bi, More than one guy). Each of these, beyond-the-call-of-duty talents count for one hard earned point.  Of course, the 10 rating should be reserved for an experience that is really worth a million!"
I do a BBBJ.  I do DFK.  I am very bi.  In fact, I just did a hot duo with him two days ago.  I also see more than one guy.  Although, he might not know that.  He says I am one in a million.  If you read the review, I think he makes this quite clear.  I do anal, as well.

My question is this.  If a guy writes a review that clearly states that I am stellar and he rates me a 10 and he affirms that I do all the activities that rate a 10, why do you guys lower it to a 9?  

IT SEEMS HIGHLY UNFAIR THAT YOU CAN ARBITRARILY LOWER A SCORE, WHEN ALL OF YOUR REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MET AND THE REVIEWER RATE ME A 10.

Do you have a policy that only certain girls are allowed 10's?  I've gotten them before.  I don't see why this one should be different.  This is his first review.  I turned him onto your site's review section.  Now, he feels he shouldn't even bother, if his hard work is going to go "edited" and his evaluation of a girl is going to be second guessed.

Is it good business to scare off new reviewers who may be future good contributors to your site, valued members, and paying VIP members?

Is it fair to lower the score of a provider who delivered the goods, per the hobbyist; one who works her ass off to consistently deliver above and beyond the call of duty and who takes pride in her work?

I specifically strive to deliver quality and I offer EVERYTHING.  

What is the "trick" to keeping the review rated a "10," when I delivered a "10" performance and the reviewer rated me a "10" and states in his review that I am a "10" and I clearly met all the "10" requirements?

Do I need to send in some money or something?

In conclusion, a reviewer's opinion that I am a "10" is his REVIEW of me.  Why in the heck would you second guess the mind-blowing experience he had?

Not trying to be a bitch, just wondering...  

They're the ones who could give you a definitive answer if so inclined.  All I can suggest is that your clients are "telling" you that they're giving you "10's", when in reality they change their minds when they post.  Although, if this is happening a lot, then this probably isn't the reason.

While I've seen some reviews get marked down a little because of the lack of "special" offerings, I've also heard of people lying to a lady about what score they assigned to the review they wrote, especially if they think it will get them on the lady's good side.  Given that there are guys out there who will do some despicable shit to a lady, I think lying to her about the score they put on a review is completely believable.

. . . not the looks score.

I saw a 10 with my own two eyes.  He had his laptop in his room and showed me the review he had written.  Two days later, when it appeared, it was marked down.  The eyes don't lie.

10's do exist.

I once did an overnight with a lady in Orlando, a night to be remembered fondly.  I reviewed the lady and gave her a 10, which TER promptly knocked down to a 9.  I had to contact TER and convince them that this was really a 10 session and it took almost a week of emails back and forth.  

So my dear, have the gentleman standup for his review, you can't do it.

I could be really wrong, but I wanna remember that at one point there was a big discussion about ratings and that to have a 10 that they basically had to CIM or Rear entry, or something like that.  I really don't know, but I do remember hearing something like that.

My 2 cents.  Please don't bash me.

Thank you.  I shall do just that.  This is the review in question.

I wouldn't bash you.  He says in his review that I offered anal, but he was already spent from his three pops.  He also mentioned that I did a BBBJTCIM, so there's your CIM.  A 10 doesn't have to include those.  TER has guidelines outlined here:
http://www.theeroticreview.com/info_policies/reviewFAQ.asp
His review met those guidelines.

I think the problem that  TER might be having is taking a 10 review from a first time reviewer. Lets face it,  what is his point of reference? Its not like they changed a hobbyist who has reviewed 10+ ladies. I wouldn't be surprised if they have an inside rule stating that 10's will not be allowed by hobbyist with less than 5 reviews. This would go a long way to handle the ongoing problem we have with providers posting self reviews. Just my 10cents...

Are you saying a hobbyist who's never written a review doesn't know when his head has exploded, after his eyes rolled back into his head?  Come on!  Unless the guy is sub-moronic, I think he knows how to decipher a simple scoring system, especially when TER spells everything out in plain English.

BTW, the situation is resolved.  His 10 has been reinstated.

Thanks, TER staff.

be honest, I think that they are trying to get a handle on "score inflation" ===  gotta admit though, mine were 8 or 9 converted to 7's.  I think it was the DFK thing that got em lowered... The 10's (2) that I gave truly were 10's.  One was a night to never be repeated... as it was the most unique sexual experience of my life; civie, hobby, marriage - whatever.

It's not that he can't understand good sex, but it's different from the dating world, and a guy could get overwhelmed by not having to get the girl tipsy, beg for it, or whatever and confuse that for a mind-blowing, once in a lifetime experience.  Not saying that's the particulars of his experience with you.  I wasn't there (not even peeking in the window).  But I can sort of understand it from a rules perspective.

Glad it got straightened out, in any event.
