I see many providers clearly stating they will blacklist anyone who writes them a review.  Personally, I think that’s outlandish. TER clearly states these are fantasy reviews. I am not sure if you can blacklist someone for writing a review. I have never blacklisted anyone. Lucky for me I have not had any issue’s because TER has removed all my fake reviews after I contacted them. I understand the need for privacy & keeping things between two, or three consenting adults, but is a no review policy fair?

The term Blacklisting means putting information about a mis-behaving monger on an Internet Blacklist site in order to warn other providers about a bad actor. For example, someone who shorts the provider's fee or is a no-show.
Unfortunately, the term is often confused with putting someone on the provider's own Do Not See (DNS) list so she knows to decline dates from that handle in the future.
Guys can be put on a BL site for no good reason at all (the list of minor offenses is long) and it's almost impossible to get off. Many of us are on Blacklists and don't even know it. Anyone can be Blacklisted at any time for any (or no) reason whatsoever.
The result is that Blacklists are of almost no value to providers.
As for "no review" policies, of course they are not fair. How could anyone who is a member of a review site think a "no reviews" policy is fair?

A no-review policy is a red flag. If a provider doesn't allow their performance to be evaluated then it appears they are hiding something. Where would we be without Consumer Reports? If OP's can't post reviews, it makes it impossible to determine who the quality providers are for future OP's.  

If you deal with people in professional way, give a good service, why not be reviewed ?
 The no review policy has always seemed shady to me and in these days of $500 $600 $700... per hour, I really want to know what I'm walking into.

I typically won't see anyone who doesn't have reviews because I want to know what I am going to be able to do when we meet (ie. GFE vs. non-GFE).   However, if they already have reviews posted and are now a no review policy person then that is fine.  

Personally, I just don't need the hassle of pissing a lady off who doesnt want reviews. Sometimes I get asked to write them, but that is very rare these days. If the lady says no or doesnt respond to my request to write one, I take both of those as a hard no.  
I think blacklisting should be for only very serious infractions in this world, but if a lady has it written all over her online materials that she is anti-review, and states it to the gent at some point during the meet up or after, I could def understand why she would be angered.

To many new ladies getting in the hobby to make what they think is a quick way to make a lot of money, so they really not trying to give excellent service, it’s all about the money, so if they give terrible service they don’t won’t to be found out, I seen this one provider back in 2018 when TER was down and she was so glad TER wasn’t up anymore, she gave terrible service and charge a lot of money, so fast forward to today, she is no longer escorting, I guess she  got to many bad reviews on TER!

as long as they don’t break any laws (which for a business that’s illegal most places in the USA is an interesting concept).

from actions on the part of the customer that would be of concern to MOST providers, like rough treatment, chronic tardiness or no-show, stealthing, stiffs, shorts and pressing for off-menu services.  Writing a review is only of concern to those other providers who have a no review policy.  I prefer to call a single-provider blacklist a "block" but I don't think review writing is something that belongs on a blacklist as there is no harm  INTENDED, only an honest presentation of the facts.

There was or is a no-review movement that is ideologically based (whether rationally or not.)   I know many providers who oscillate between love hate of reviews.  Good reviews are good for biz.  It's as simple as that.  I had one well known escort who generally campaigned against reviews ask me to post a review.  She wasn't plagued with bad reviews, but just thought they were disrespectful.  But it was good for biz.  Hence her conflicting views.

Remember guys, we're dealing with chicks where logic and reason go to die.  (I kid.)

I don’t mean to drift off the topic but I have been blacklisted and I don’t really care….I have almost 50 oks on P411, no trouble finding Adult companions, and I know that I treat the ladies like the Gentleman I am.  I usually see P411 providers only, but in rare instances where I have contacted ladies from other sites, I have no reservations about reaching out to previous ladies to vouch for me….it is interesting to note that the 2-3 ladies who have BL me are not on P411 and have a very low profile on TER.  One even blacklisted me based on heresay from one of her friends…..I never saw either one of them!

chicks where logic and reason go to die

dollars AND sense, but that's not always the case.  

On how bad you want to see said provider.  I recently saw a provider who did not want a review, I agreed to it before hand as she had her reasons, no biggie IMO.  Now had the service sucked then I definitely would have had to rethink my prior agreement, as that is one fear that us clients have when seeing someone.  I generally don't mind someone with a handful of reviews that I can read asking no to be reviewed, I wouldn't see or accept this request from someone with no reviews at all.

What would be your first thought if it were a doctor who told you this?

I've seen a few ladies across the decades who operated UTR and wanted to stay that way. And just as is the case with high rates and limited menus, if a lady says no reviews on her site, each of us has the freedom to move on to the next lady. No provider "owes" any player anything beyond the service he or she has paid for.  

Now to build a quality network, one must give to get. Cyber friendships are where I always get the best info and tips about a lady. So all is not lost with a provider who does not allow public reviews, as private reviews is where the real truth lies, imo.

Name me one business that does not want 100 + 5 star google reviews. Providers are in a business ( even if many don't realize it ) and TER or other review sights are Google for them.  Good reviews are the essential for a business to grow or to simply replace older or retiring customers.  

Provided all reviews are honest.

that, as a customer, I'm TOFTT.   It is a fact that in a TOFTT session with a girl who has no reviews, my disappointment factor runs about 5-10 times what it is when I have properly researched a girl through her reviews to confirm her session style, demeanor and looks are what I prefer.  

so I suppose my "thoughts" on this issue are basically I don't think about it at all.

Well ok, although I'd argue a provider is hardly UTR if she has a website and advertised on the net actively.  

And Ter tends to push for more graphic reviews while other sites I cant mention dont want the "juicy details." I am sure you understand that on some level why a woman may not want reviews for the world to see.  
Also, some men feel if guy A gets a certain menu item, they can expect the same sex act in session. Many women dont want those expectations out there and I get that as well.  
Personally, I do see women with a no review policy for I trust people I have a long history with back channel over total strangers that are her public reviewers. Just different strokes for different folks kinda thing.  
And btw, I dont view it as rewarding THEM...I view it as rewarding ME. lol

I've had a couple of ladies ask for reviews but they did ask that I limit the graphic details. I had no real problem with that and wrote them without a detailed, blow-by-blow description of events.

So, I'll respect a "no review" policy. I've been fortunate that I've met some amazing companions and have had some awesome experiences despite reviews not being available.  Not having reviews isn't a "deal breaker" for me.

I dont know, the comfortable thing isn't convincing to me. A provider who is comfortable with taking dick from strangers and advertising herself taking dick from strangers.. yet uncomfortable with a description of how she took the dick and  evaluation of her performance.... eh I dunno. Maybe.

I mean I don't really get that either, besides very extreme cases.

First of all, you have 90 days after a session to submit your review. So wait until that period is almost up and be sure not to include any details that would alert her as who who's the author. Of course, that won't work if she has your TER handle but you used to be able to review under an alias. Check with TER and see if that's still the case.
There's nothing underhanded about this. You have a right to review her and it's a public service for your fellow members.

I still review some ladies under an alias, so I know it's still possible.  Waiting over 60 days is a good idea, too, however, if her ad link no longer works when you submit the review, it will be declined.  

There’s nothing underhanded about agreeing not to write a review and then turning around and writing that review?

Here's a simple troubleshooting guide:  

the only thing a client has to go on when booking a companion is companion-curated content. Obviously, this is heavily biased!

Some reasons for a no-review policy:

Show me where I said anything about agreeing with her not to write a review. In fact, my assumption was to simply ignore her "no review" policy and then write one.
I'd say "nice try," but it wasn't.

WOW!!!!  

I don't get that. If you're worried about writing a review and have to wait that long, just don't write the review. It doesn't really help anyone.

"Anyway, what I find interesting about the question is I've run across a number of companion websites that clearly state a "no review" policy, and in some cases a *strict* policy.  That's fine except these same companions will have a TER badge on the home page and in some cases, will post an ad here with a link to their TER reviews"

I'm pretty sure a consumer has the right to tell fellow consumers to not engage with businesses that employ certain strategies and behavior. Or is it also out of this so-called boundary and under the so-called "consent violation"?

short time where it's not likely that anything has significantly changed regarding the provider.  Have you ever seen a review, where the reviewer says, "She looks 60 days older since the last time I saw her," or she's put on 20 pounds since I saw her 60 days ago?"   With that said, TER recognizes there can be a "staleness" factor after too much time and so they limit the review period to 90 days. (Except for a promotional period when they came back after being dark for 20 months in 2018-2019 where they allowed a six-month clawback on reviews.)  Providers may also be in another city by the time you write the review.  (This has happened to me a lot (mostly with touring Kgirls) and I simply review her in the new city and state the city where I saw her in the "general details" section.)  The local customers in her new location still appreciate the review because she's the "new" girl to them.  

There are many instances where a review from 60+ days ago may be helpful.

But instead of making up utter bullshit about me why don't you go write a review. Alias pussy.

are you saying you only look at recent reviews (good or bad) when evaluating a potential provider?

* The provider fundamentally disapproves of women being rated in this way
 
(review them anyway)

There are providers who post on this board who have seen Nicky and would gladly see him again.  Hearing you say this about him makes me laugh at your lack of information about the history of this board and those that have populated it over the years.  When it comes to Nicky, grumpy?  Yes.  Pissy?  Yes, but saying the ladies don't like him is completely wrong.  

You agree to meet a provider with a no review policy, turn around and write a review. Nobody’s putting words in your  mouth. Just reading your words back to you.

He's just pissed because I shit on him on the boards some time ago. Just check his posting history.
And also consider that chickie, another one of my fans, has now jumped back in just to be sure everyone knows what a reading-challenged weasel he is.

to be a reasonable and reputable guy.  You two should be friends who argue a lot, like you and me.  Lol

Amen to that.

I was going to say, "Says the guy who edited his post to fix his grammar," but then realized it could be taken seriously here so this watered down version is what you get instead. Haha.
 
But that was as an aside. What I really wanted to say is, how did you get knighted as Conan the Grammarian?🤓 There's some history there, I don't doubt.

And while it is correct that I edited the above post, it was not to correct any grammar.
I don't even recall how long ago my Conan alter ego emerged but it was many years ago.
Thanks for noticing. You win a bonus meme.

Oh god, you even have a meme! Well done, sort of, not really. Do I dare ask if your alter ego has a crest?
 
(Your reply, "it was not to correct any grammar," is exactly the line I anticipated when I decided to couch what I said! LOL.)

Conan does have a Crest that he uses to make his teeth sparkle.  

There's nothing he's weaseling out from.

The teeth in his mouth or the teeth on his toothy necklace? ... or both?

have this policy when they have a few things going on. When just getting started and trying to gather a decent client list... reviews are absolutely needed and dare I say required. Trust etc play an important role in getting good, steady clientele.  
Now if a lady already has  a good thing going.. then that's up to her to do away with her reviews and or begin to not accept them.
