Ok I’m not too much a conspiracy theorist but there are a lot of reviews dated forward of today. I thought this was poster error but I’m not so sure. My theory is that if you post a review with a date in the future it stays at the top of the review list. If you’re shilling for a shit RA and you get it that most guys only peruse the first few reviews for an RA you will do this to up the biz for said shit RA.

I throw this out there because I see many instances of 9/9 reviews up top followed by 5/6 reviews underneath, and if you look closer you even see where a couple of mongers state that they got burned by believing the top reviews.

Am I crazy?

It's a bit hard to say. I did take a look at the BA reviews, Asian as I think that is who you generally see, and did not see anything like you indicated. I only saw one profile with the first review showing as 9s and the none of the following reviews with lower scores indicated being mislead.

 
Earlier there were a number of December 2021 reviews that showed up. That was apparently due to reviews for sessions last December created in January but the review not noticing the year was populated with 2021 and not 2020. That got fixed back in early January as far as I know.

Default sorting to be by date of review added, not by date of visit as stated by review. It's easier to manipulate things as it is now.  

Ie, you can kinda determine where your review will go in the list, and that rubs me the wrong way.

That sounds like a software bug, and possibly a policy issue as well.  

 
Can you post one or more links to these so we can look at them?

Reviews written in Jan 21 for Dec 2020 visits were posted as Dec 2021 visits. Might be possible to post links but it seems they’ve been cleaning up the mess and not many of those reviews are still listed as Dec 2021.

Bora  and Tina both have them, though they are well known providers.

Some others are more obviously what I’m talking about.  

There’s no facility for searching the reviews by date, so it’s hard to refind them, but your milfs masquerading as 20-yr olds are good places to start seeing them.  

It seems like a code issue that fails to check date range, but it’s exploitable so I wanted others to opine.

Yeah, they cleans up a number when everyone first reported it back in January. Might have been some late submissions that came in after that -- we're still in the 3 month window (unless they are not enforcing that). But it's not like it's hidden from anyone so I think the ability to game anything here is very limited.

 
I am nearly certain that within each month the reviews are sorted by submission dates with most recent first. Certainly doesn't seem to be by approval and active date as I've seen more than a few "New" reviews three or four reviews from the top and the those preceding reviews not showing as "New".

Within each month, yes it is sorted by id of review, which is effectively submission date (or more precisely, sequence because id gets incremented with each review).

 
However, if you do a review for a provider you saw the  previous month, you review will be placed on the top of that month but below current sibmission.  

I don't think they're enforcing three month limit. Hence you may have situations where the submit date and actual date you've seen the provider are fairly long time apart.

So rocket, did you start working for TER or just trying to show off that you've hacked into their system?

Um, neither?

I was just saying how it works, which builds onto my previous post. Which said I'd prefer if by default itd be sorted by id (=submission time) rather than the time of visit.

Or write logic to limit date range. I’m also in favor of reducing the time to review severely, like to a week. But what do I know?

I tried to find the Bora you're talking about but was not able to -- a search for Bora with a 9/9 review only matches very old providers, no of which are named Bora but do have that string in their name. For TIna the only 9/9 reviewed one I saw only had the one review so cannot be who you were saw the problem with. There is a Tina in SJ that has 150 reviews but doesn't have any 9/9 future dated to be at the top.  

 
I assume that mean the dates may have been corrected, or perhaps the review removed.

 
Personally I don't see that this is much of an exploitable issue in the way you suggested. They cannot really keep the review at the top for people to first see. It is something we see every year but I certainly have never noticed it being a problem throughout the year.

 
So, yes, it would be nice if TER would put some simple data validation to prevent submitting a review (or make it part of their approval process check list) but I don't really see this as something that imposes a risk on anyone who makes the slightest attempt to pay attention and critically assess the reviews they want to use for their decision-making. At the end of the day you cannot save people from their own stupidity, only try to help them develop their thinking to avoid mistakes going forward.

I know of, a popular San Diego girl that also tours, but I didn't see the review Sag was talking about.

Obviously he was talking about Viola's Bora, in the bay. She also has most reviews out of any Boras on the site.

 
She is known for her crazy mannerisms when she cums. The common joke I make is that you need to bring an exorcist.
