So things just turn on one day.. yet their is no announcement of why ... I am wondering what Changed.. ? So what gives.. ?why the policy change at this point? Don't get me wrong. I am stoked.. but would like to know what changed so I can decide on how active I wanna be here..

TER has a loooooooong history of treating its members like mushrooms (keep them in the dark and shit on them). So the lack of communication is no surprise.
That said, there has been an improvement from the old staff and it's also understandable that, considering the legal situation, they feel the need to play their cards close to the vest.
Patience.
I will only add that it's a shame that, after an initial flurry of interest, this board has settled back into a light coma.

I'd like some info on cause of the change.

Do not know firsthand, but am guessing it will be an evolving process.  Probably have a much smaller staff and at least initially, seems it is taking longer to approve reviews as a result.   Like with any business, probably are trying to figure out how many old users will return and if there is a need to increase staff.  

So not expecting them to do so now.  I do know thru emailing with them over the last year that it was something TER was trying to figure out in the post Fosta/Sesta world we live in now.

Don’t hold ur breath waiting 😳 management seldom if ever replies to questions like these. Save ur $ or post reviews and problem reports if you want VIP status.

People are hesitant to investing time in TER that might shut down again but people will slowly come back again.

If we're speculating, I would go with the need to eliminate any US financial links ... such as US citizens or people who visit the US being owners or employees, etc.  This might have involved selling or transferring ownership, etc, finding employees etc.

Interesting post.  Any idea if owners of any other websites are facing legal challenges because of this whole ordeal?

So you can see how they made it safer?

I wrote the post below over a year ago.  I have been using off-shore corporations since the 80's.  Don't know why it took TER's lawyers so long to figure this out (or maybe they got NEW lawyers that knew their ass from a hole I the ground, as in burro does NOT equal burrow).   TER has taken the first step, now the members have to pitch in and MTGA (Make TER Great Again).

8 posts.. ZERO Reviews.. STFU until you start actually contributing you telling folks who contribute to leave isn't helping..  .. stay in your lane..

The poster that you are talking to is posting under an alias, so you have no idea just what kind of contributions he or she may have made over the years. What we do know for sure is that WTL has VIP membership, so it's VERY likely that he or she has contributed much more than you have over the couple of short years that you have been here. Ten reviews and less than 100 posts over a two year period hardly makes you a senior member here, just kind of clueless about how things work on TER.

it would be wrong for anyone to conclude you simply have a fat ass. Just a fat head. ROR.
You may not have a fat ass, but you certainly ARE low-hanging fruit.

been a member for two years NOT know that reviews do not display when using an alias?  I'm hoping with Newbies coming back to TER discussion boards, the veterans here, both mongers and ladies, don't have to start dumbing down the discussions.  

that suggests he's a "fruit."  Quite the opposite.  And I don't usually think of mongers here as "low-hanging" or not.  That's between them and the ladies they see.

How does one know that the post is made with an alias.. to then be able to conclude this is an alias thats why their are no reviews?

So you pontificate about alias.. then gauge my post count assuming all my activity is without the benefit of using them..

And when you click on it, you can only see posts. When you click on username you can see reviews and you can send PMs  

To clarify regarding alias and reviews and messaging . Yes an alias user name is shaded gray and does not present there reviews or the ability to message them here. However, if you search reviews by reviewers (try mine for example) an alias can review, and can be messaged. And true, TER only allows an alias for those who have VIP status.

Care to translate that into English?  Understand the "pontificate" part although it's way out of context with the rest of your post.  But honesty from that point on, makes little sense.  Weren't you paying attention when your 3rd grade teacher explained the importance of writing complete sentences?  Best way to communicate.

And no peers. My sole failing is insufficient modesty.

unless you have fallen arches!  

Happy to explain logic to those who cant grasp it because they are too busy with Grammar.

but you can get them this time of year of you look around.

Logic?  The village idiot explaining logic is analogous to a blind man telling Tiger Woods how to play golf.  Nice try, for you that is, but you still sound rather dense.

Since I have it you can easily find out this is my 350th post since 2016.

Look you made a really stupid fucking post, just take the L and move on. No need to double down on stupid.

No need to beat up people here, especially those who might be a little slow.  Just put the "GFY" in his stocking and say, "Merry Christmas."  I would normally follow with "it would make you feel more charitable", but I don't think that's a bonus for you.  Like me, your idea of charity is to give a bigger tip for a great blowjob from a hot young woman.  Lol

Yep TER is back to its old glory..  well done.. point made.

"Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn  every once in a while"  

to hear from some local hobby bros that had been silent for a year and a half.  Bringing back the US reviews is a great start, but US access would seal the deal in getting TER back on track.  

Do you lie just for the sake of lying?

when I suggested him being wrong is almost a daily occurrence.  Here's another example.  Lol

It only took you four days to comment on my post. That's slow even for you. Talk about. a "light coma."

So I went and did a search but didn't go back far enough and didn't notice. That's my excuse. What's yours for compulsively needing to check to see if I made a boo-boo?
This is incontrovertible proof you are a sick-o with no life at all.
You'd be embarrassed if you were capable of it.

I'll take four days over two years any day.  

That damn gmail spellchecker bwahahaha

Rast Raff.
Fa, ra, ra, ra, ra!

In this case being WRONG about spelling. No wonder we all call you Duncette.
"sole" = only.
"soul" = what you don't have.

Or is it a case of multiple personalities?  Oops, that's impossible as you don't even have ONE personality, much less multiple ones.

1) When did I say anyone else used the name Duncette? Hint: I didn't.
2) Do you really claim I used the word "sole" incorrectly?  
3) "Stupid" = Lying Wu
You set 'em up, I'll knock 'em down.

These are your words

Admit it, Wu The Liar, Duncette got it wrong with "sole" vs "soul."  
Let me also point out the obvious (at least to anyone but YOU): saying "we all call you" is a figure of speech. But thanks for again proving that you will torture the obvious in order to "score" a debating point, just like the good High School Debating Team member you are.

you talking about?  I don't see any of her posts on this thread containing the words, "soul" or "sole."  Are you having another Bob Mueller moment?

He's mentioning both words. Why? Anyway, try reading this link, Einstein.

said either of these words.  GaG doesn't attribute them to her either, so you seem to be trying to connect unrelated dots.  I thought was exclusively Laffy's game.  

Which is ok because LTM fits you better anyway.

What exactly do you think her reference to spell check was about, especially after Steff referred to "sole" and Wu did as well? Poor Duncette was, as usual, wrong, but you should ask her to deny it if she dares, though I wouldn't put lying past her either since that's also Wu's stock in trade. And she, like you, are Wu-Bots.
ROR!

You completely missed her sarcasm.  She was telling you to go ahead and blame on spellcheck, since you like to make excuses when you're wrong.  (You have to admit, you RARELY own anything - lol).  There are many nuances to the use of sarcasm and obtuseness, so sometimes you have to look at what everyone said in order to understand a sarcastic or obtuse response when you see one.  They are not always apparent when viewed in a vacuum.  Maybe I'm the only one here who finds a little subtle humor in one form or another in many of her posts, but since she likes to poke the bear, maybe the bear is not in the mood to be amused.  Its okay, she can keep posting and I will keep laughing, sometimes with you and sometimes at you.

so, no, I didn't miss it. What you missed was that her sarcasm was misplaced, as my choice of words was correct and she was being sarcastic for the wrong reason, thus, hoist by her own petard.

remarks about my queefs, I will not put them in jars and send them to you anymore.  

I mean, how do you get your queefs into a jar anyway? You must have a VERY oddly shaped vagina.

Feel free to take advantage of our 2nd A, it’s there for a reason.  

Years ago we were talking about a "dead cat bounce" in the stock market and we started wondering about a "dead duck" bounce. I bet St C a dollar that if a certain dumb duck jumped/fell/was pushed off the top of the Stratosphere if it would bounce or simply make a big "splat" upon landing.  Unfortunately due to lack of co-operation from said foul feathered friend we were never able to settle our bet.
