I've had two providers no show no call me after a confirmed appointment. Don't feel great about posting a negative review for them but feel compelled to let fellow hobbiest know. Thoughts.....

I believe that’s what TER was created to help other members make an executive decision based on the information provided on this website. 🤷🏽‍♀️ lmk  

Did you give either a deposit and not refund? If yes, that's a scam and you should review them.

but you can, and should post here and on your/their local boards. Just stick with the facts.  

The unprofessionalism makes my blood boil. I am sorry this happened to you. Did they give you any explanation?  Just focus on the honestly of the review. The reader can make the determining factor then if they wish to see the provider in question or not. We want clients to pre book appointments to make provider lives easier and more balanced. Providers need to also remember that clients may have to take off work/find a babysitter/etc. and it is very unfair to them if they followed all the rules and then have this happen.  If you sent them a deposit it better be returned!! Keep us posted and hopefully this does not happen to you again.

I know for 100% certain if a deposit was take you can. I have seen the reviews. They have scam alert listed above them. They always involve an email exchange, deposit, and setting up an appointment. Then, the client is ghosted. Now, I am not sure if it can be done if money wasn't taken.

And that's another reason only to see well-reviewed providers. There are much less likely to ghost someone who's passed screening.
But if they ghosted you after getting a deposit they are professionals, all right. Professional scammers.

you never saw them unless they asked for a deposit and you paid it up front before they stood you up, in which case you can file a "Rip-off Report."   You can name them on this board, but they may not care.  

It's better to live one day as a lion than a 100 yrs as a sheep.  

I think those who advocate against a review or even namedropping publicly understand that and it's precisely why they don't want to do it.

A review should just be honest.

Has happened a couple times over the years......at first of course it angers you.......however in retrospect.....maybe "The No Show" was a good thing.....perhaps you avoided some sort of issue---serious issue.....Never Know......Maybe you avoided a legal entanglement----or a gal with a crazy boyfriend driver....some sort of "Infection or Disease".....who knows....and....you are now up whatever $$$ you had set aside.....So go on your way and be thankful !

Unless the provider took any money from you I’m not sure TER lets you write a review on an experience you didn’t have. I think the best you can do is put a warning here or the reviewer board. I could be wrong about that but I don’t believe TER lets u write a negative review unless you’ve been scammed. Things sometime happen on either end, client or provider but certainly not providing a heads up is not cool even if it’s some type of emergency. I would think you’d get a message at some point apologizing. Sorry that happened to you.

It was a jab at a young lady who NS on me. It flew over some but I got a kick out of it.

Could you tell us why you don't feel great about posting a negative review?  

It was my first. It was a 7/7 and I mentioned she had garlic breath. It was approved and she didn't like it. She told TER the date didn't happen. They didn't ask me to prove it did (though I could not have anyway), but the review was pulled.

I've  had  a  few  NSNC  over  the  years.

If you've made a deposit it's fine and good to give a bad review. You're losing btw and would help warn others. You expected them to be professional so they should be ready to face the consequences of their actions!

I mean, they didn't tell you why and just pulled the review?

Agreed. Since the op said he "feel compelled to let fellow hobbiest know." I'm still hopeful he will at least name who they are. Because otherwise I don't think this post helps us (fellow hobbyists) in any way. Knowing that someone in the US did nsnc with the op unfortunately isn't enough information to take any action.
