and then not explain why in the review? I read reviews from time to time, and whenever i see a guy give a girl a 6 or a 7 when she was eligible for much more, then in his review he talks about her like she was the most amazing thing and had the greatest time and will see her again. No mention as to why he didn't give her the full rating. I'm wondering why that happens.

Even if a provider does anal, is really bi, and will do MFM, doesn't mean she automatically qualifies from an enhanced performance score.

Some reviewers don't understand the rating system. They think, for example, that if a provider doesn't offer FS her maximum possible performance score is 7.  I've seen other reviews indicating that the reviewer thinks if the provider doesn't offer Greek, her maximum score is 9.

Its hard for a provider to be upset at you for rating her numbers that are commensurate with other reviewers, its much easier for her to get upset about things you actually write, especially since TER doesn't allow editing or retractions.  And then there's the issue that even though you might have had a fun time, she may still not be the hottest in your own experience or the best you ever had... a 7/7 experience can be very pleasurable and a 10/10 experience can be overwhelming... its not as cut and dried and there are no real reviewing standards.  Plus... brace yourself... people aren't very smart.

that most providers don't give me the max possible service.  If you're suggesting that I get a better blowjob if I give you a score of 10, then what did I give the money for?  I thought THAT would get me the best blowjob.    

Actually, the TER rating system does include limits on the ratings.  This is directly from TER on writing reviews:

I've ever seen very blunt and direct comments to directly align with lower numbers, is if the girl didn't match the pictures and was fat, or not as attractive as the images led him to belive...or the service was rushed, mechanical and cold. If a guy feels you did bare minimum and was a bitch about it, they will be chipped while writing the review. Other than that, he will be honest choosing a number value to describe the experience and her looks but ain't going to be more honest than necessary in the review about what he don't like. I think alot of guys try to find what was good about it and go with that.  

What I was saying is that some reviewers don't understand those rules, and thus believe there's TER-imposed limits that in reality don't exist, eg "It's not possible for me to give more than a 7 because it was FBSM and that's as high a score as TER allows if there's no FS."

It doesn't necessarily need to be in the provider's profile.  If the provider tells you she would do Greek or bring another provider along, as examples, the reviewer could give her 2 more points for those activities, the 7 could then become a 9 for actions the provider would be willing to do.

You didn't read. I'm aware of that. I'm saying if you didn't give her the maximum possible score, why don't men say what wasn't great about their session, so people are aware?

I understand that. You don't seem to have read through. I'm saying if you didn't give her the maximum possible score, why don't men say what wasn't great about their session, so people are aware?

but what's the point? especially when the review they write says they were amazing. But then  they giver her a 7 out of a possible 9? SO it wasn't amazing? If she's cold, or mechanical, or whatever, why don't they include that?

You clearly don't understand the rules for scoring yourself, so it's best for you to not confuse others with your inaccurate statements.  

Perhaps you should enlighten me on what you believe to be inaccurate.  It shouldn't take long, considering it's all accurate!

Edited to say this:

That's incorrect.  I can say from personal experience that, so long as the provider says it's something she'll do, TER will accept it, I've had this come up with several reviews in the past and TER approved them.

...if it isn't already on her profile

Because she wasn't that great.

First of all, if you say so, bud. I guess we all have to just take your word for it since you're using an alias for no reason. If you say you've gotten scores through, personally, while giving points for stuff that ain't on her profile, I guess we all will believe you, since we don't know who you are. But myself and many many others have personally had the opposite experience, we got told "it's not on her profile, you can't score for it." But if you say so.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by "profile", at least to some extent.  If you mean the info on any reviews, they aren't always complete or entirely accurate.  If you mean a "profile" that was created by the provider, then it might be that the profile isn't current or maybe it isn't complete, perhaps due to reasons of discretion.  Regardless, if the provider says "Next time we meet, why don't we........." do whatever, then it can be used to increase the rating.

First, the score is for the OVERALL performance, and is a subjective number for each hobbyist.  Some guys have many reviews but have never given a score above an 8, so an 8 from a guy like that is the same as a 10 from a guy who has given a 10 before.  Its relative to an individual's grading scale, and no two are necessarily the same.  

I never claimed to speak for others, I don't know for certain what their experiences may have been.  That said, I've certainly come across reviews that suggested the same thing, that being that the reviewer increased the rating due to something the provider said she would do that was not on her profile.  As an example, I recall reading reviews where the reviewer ended with something like, "She told me I should see her again and we'd do Greek".  Again, just an example.

Well from personal experience, if you blatantly say anything negative, critical, opinionated or that could be construed as negative you might be on the receiving end of a complete shitstorm of BSC.  Won't make that mistake again.  I thought reviews were for other clients before I was a VIP, now its fairly clear to me that a lot of providers consider this their free publicity.... publicity that the client is paying to give them apparently.  It ends up being better to just say nothing... this isn't Yelp.

If that happened to you and you are talking from personal experience then TER fucked up. It happens sometimes. They are human. But if you have a lady a rating higher than what her profile allows someone else can file a problem report and get the score back down.

I agree with surlyboy as to the blunt comments with lower numbers.  If a provider has clearly outdated pictures, entirely fake pictures or the session is entirely mechanical, the review will probably be rather poor, along with the numbers.  I will say though that I've had a number of sessions with providers that were a couple years past their prime and the pictures were a little old.  On the positive side, the provider was very friendly, accommodating and fun to be around.  In a situation like that, I might try to make the review as "positive" as I could (under the circumstances) while still being appropriate with the numbers.

I'd rather focus on the positives of the experience and try to take into account YMMV variables, and let that be revealed more by the number rather than the details. Of course this method is used only as an example to answer your question, not an example of a poor or bad experience. Considering that in my book no one is getting a 10, a 7 is still a very good on the scale. When reading reviews myself, I go by the content and not the numbers. Numbers are, um, overrated.

...that is created by her first reviewer. I have found that alot of info on provider profiles is wrong and never corrected  by the provider herself, especially if the error gains her the possibility of a higher score.

If "TER fucked up", that doesn't make ME wrong.

Certainly given the many discussions about rate inflation that have occurred you would think that would occur. I agree, I've sometimes read reviews and wondered why the 6 or 7 was given when the narrative seems to suggest something better -- though your question is different than that.

Yeah, as I'm guessing you know, it's an often-stated concern, the first reviewer creates the profile and it may or may not be entirely accurate.  I know I've done reviews after the profile had been created and I entered information that was rather different.  Sometimes it's something innocuous like no tattoos when she really has one tattoo, sometimes it's something of more significance like CBJ and no CIM versus BBBJ and CIM.  While sites like this are a huge help as far as providing information, it's still "buyer beware" and realizing that just because it's on the internet don't make it so!

But TER doesn't always enforce that either -- I've had a review (possibly the only one) I gave a 10 in performance kicked back and then the next day someone else gave and had published a review with a 10 for performance. The review didn't include services I didn't mention and the profile did include Anal and Really Bi (but I don't really think those were on the table).  

This is a by product of the "every kid gets a trophy" generation.

Just because you think a girl will or might do X doesn't mean you get to add the extra points if it's not in her profile. That's not too complicated. Now, if it's not in the profile but you get those service and she's not opposed you you stating you got those services in your review the Admins might allow your review unchanged. More than likely they would require the provider to request an update to her profile stating such services were on the menu (not sure if providers can simply change the offering on their own or not).

If that's happening it's because one of the admins is making a mistake. If it's not in the profile or not claimed in the review then you should never be able to submit a score greater than the 7 we're all using as the baseline.

All true!  I've sent in reviews that mentioned a certain website that shall remain nameless (hint, it's been in the news lately!) and they got kicked back saying that they prohibit the mention of such websites.  Then, a few days later, I read a review that mentions the same website!  I agree with your "loosing sleep" comment, I take all the reviews with a grain of salt and, for me, I look for a "general consensus" rather than taking any one review as absolute gospel.  Hmmm, maybe "gospel" isn't the best word to use here!

the providers profile comes from the first person to review the provider.

It means you statement about what the rule are are wrong. You might be wrong because TER effed up but that still means you are wrong about what the rules are.

You are trying to tell everyone that all they need is word from the provider that she offers something, and they can give her a higher score. That statement is clearly wrong. Just because sometimes things slip through the cracks does not make your statement correct.

of course, given the references for Catch 22 perhaps highly appropriate

Because otherwise I would be sending some problem reports on your reviews right now.

This is also from the TER information on posting reviews:

TER will downgrade a review if the written experience does not match thier guidlines for that numeric value selected. It is possible the guy just wrote a lackluster review and TER said, nope, that's not a 9 on performance. From what I read it's more like a hot time. TER someplace has review requirements that describe what constitutes a 9, or a 10. Just because the guy says the experience was a10, don't mean it will stick.  

He found her amazing, he had a hot time. Does not mean he forgot it was a service.  

We know all that, and It was mentioned way earlier in the thread, that she doesn't need to perform specific services with you, they only need to be offered. Offered  means it is stated in the profile. The End!

The profile is NOT the end all and the review written by one person is NOT limited by what was put in the profile by the person that wrote the first review.  Show me anything in the terms and conditions that backs you up.

rating definition explains it all, but now some new provider i met asking me to give her 9/10 or 10/9, i mean come on now.....all the provider i've met are very attractive, beautiful and pretty.   I gave some 7 and mostly above 8 and base on my honest truth.  but can't ask ppl to give you 9 or 10 if I don't feel like its 9/10 or 10/9 but regardless i try to be fair as much as possible.

I am curious about the situation you described as well! I often send a PM to the reviewer and ask "why did you give a 7 when you wrote all positive things?"

I'm saying 7 when the max possible is a 7. WHen the max possible is less than ten, that list you posted adjusts to make the highest possible a 7

...according to TER, a rating of "10" in performance is "One in a lifetime". Unless you believe in 24 hour reincarnations, how is it that so many reviewers do dish out "10's" with just about every gal they see? And then there are the providers that get only "10's". However, that's another subject that has been addressed a number of times so let's not go there now.  

I've been hobbying 20 years -12 on TER - and I've learned that someone else's 10 is my 7, and, my ATF was a 7/7

Ratings are subjective. A 7 to you is a 5 or a 9 to another. Don't pay attention to the number ratings, read the review, see if it lines up to other reviews.  

Outside of eligibility - which, frankly, can be gamed to a 9 without a lot of trouble - this is the scale for ratings I would give - I take the descriptions seriously:

once in a lifetime is only up to a certain point in time.  If you give a 10 and then a few months later, you have an even better experience, you have to give a second 10.  The TER review system doesn't have a way to go back and take back the prior 10 or change it to a nine.

You said a provider who qualifies for a 9 getting a 7. Now you are changing the story and saying she only qualifies for a 7?

I know the moment I give a ten, another hotter, sexier woman will come along forcing me to expand my scale up to eleven, and then of course another even hotter, more beautiful woman will come along forcing me to further expand my scale up to 12. Do you see where I am going here?

... more than one experience that is "once in a lifetime". For example, being there at the birth of my first child was once in a lifetime (because I'll always have only one first-born).  But I've had other once in a lifetime experiences also:  first date, first kiss, popping the cherry, first time flying a plane etc etc.

lady I will read her website and several reviews to get an idea of the level of service she offers. I do not choose provider A over provider B just because of a numerical score.
