I am curious if anyone cares what the provider has as score, or rating here on TER? If you, do is there a general rating you choose, or stay clear of…

Riddle me this: TER is a REVIEW site. Numerical scores -- flawed though they may be -- are a key component of reviews. I can't think of any monger I've known who simply ignores them. They may disagree with a given score but they certainly don't ignore it.  So, yes, most guys care. And so do most girls. If not, why do they get upset with low scores?
You get offended by negative posts but then you put up something as demonstrably obvious and stupid as this.
Geesh!

This was a poor choice of topics.  If it's not too late to edit, maybe you should consider changing the topic to something that is not going to be 99% one-sided.  This just makes you look clueless about why the customers are here in the first place.

I only look at 7 and above in both looks and performance.  

I can't imagine what guy wouldn't look at them. But they are not the be all and end all. When I use the data base search, I put in 8 and above as my initial parameter. That doesnt mean I wont see someone lower, I have, on many occasions. If there is a reviewer friend that I generally agree with. I will give that recco a lot of weight and wont worry too much about her scores in that scenario.

It’s not like I wake up thinking, I am going to see a “6” today.  

She PM'd me, complaining about my post then put me on "Ignore" so I can't reply. If I could have, I'd have said:
"You really can't help yourself, can you, constantly proving what a thin skin you have. I don't put ANYONE on ignore. As for my "TER life," you post here at least as much as I do, so pot=kettle=black."
She's really not very good at this.

I never look at scores here when selecting a provider.

been cordial even though we don't agree very often.  It seems she is one of those people who come to a crossroads, and even though the odds are 50-50, always seem to choose the wrong path.  If she had edited this into something else she could have saved herself.  Doubling down was the wrong choice.  She's a nice person.  I feel bad for her lack of understanding about the customer viewpoint.  

I'll check out the details of her reviews to see if I can connect the dots to the score. Funny about the scores and how some guys will bypass the Appearance score and go with the Performance if the chick is crazy ass.Crazy ass sells.
Years ago in LA there was a girl, Cathy, those old timer from LA will know who I'm talking about.I don't think she ever scored over a 5 in appearance but I don't think she ever scored under an 8 in performance. The reviews were funny to read, Guys would have buyers remorse after a visit with her, vowing NEVER to go back.....and within a month or two, they'd be back at that piss infested apt.
One man's 10, is one mans 7...and one mans 7 is one mans 10 so go figure
Oh forgot...I try to avoid 5's and below but seeing that I do alot of first time reviews I fall for the photo shop pictures, roll the dice and then it's like Ay Caramba when we meet face to face.

Come on, QueenBia!  WTF?

In that case I assume you’re seeing the OP daily since her user name really should be “ThreAD Queen”.

(cue CurlyW-NatsFan to share his thoughts on the OP's riveting subject)

Since everyone has different standards, the scores themselves may not mean much. although they normally would trend in the same direction. I read the actual reviews to make a judgment.

Well, not actually. But he left after being moderated. I told him I don't know why he cares. I've been moderated forever and don't give a rat's ass. Oh, well. One less misogynist. ROR!

The scores aren't accurate anyways. The TER staff manually changes each score based on the written review, so even if the person giving the review gave 10/10 you don't get that.  

The score doesn't always match up with what is written. I've read numerous 6-7 rated performance scored reviews but the review itself reads like a 9-10 rated performance...and vice versa.

Just because the performance rates a 9, say, from the review doesn't mean the reviewer must go up that high.

I agree that limiting scores based on strict criteria can be problematic. I know this has been discussed here before and I don't know if there is an easy solution.

My last review I received a 7 because of the gentleman’s disability. He’s in a wheelchair, and we’re unable to achieve anything greater. I’m always striving for greatness being my track record of 9/10’s, but unfortunately with the circumstances it was not even an option. In this specific case I feel it’s unfair.

the discrepancies that often appear between the numerical score and a glowing narrative.  There are many reviews posted where the reviewer says only positive things about the girl and now she's his ATF, but then he gives her a numerical score of  6 or 7, while MOST guys that write a gushing review about their once-in-a-lifetime experience with a girl who has achieved instant ATF status give at least a 9 for performance.   There is often a huge disconnect between the numerical score and the written narrative of the session.  It's hard to tell sometimes what is going through a reviewer's mind when the score doesn't line up with his narrative.  

and a BBBJ for a few minutes would have raised the max score to 9.  Hard to imagine why neither of those are possible with a guy in a wheelchair. SMH.  At least try wiping the drool off of his chin and giving him a DFK.  That would get you to a max of 8.  

I always lol when I read a guy describing a bj as "...the greatest bj he's ever had"...then in his next review with a different provider her bj is "...the greatest bj of his life..." and so on, and so on...I guess the most recent blowjob for some guys is the best!

shilling for a Kgirl agency and every Friday, when shill posts are allowed, he would regale us with his experience with the newest girl at the agency and say the very same thing, "She's the best ever."  The girls started getting pissed off because being named as his Friday shill "girl of the week" was the kiss of death for their business.  He just lost all of his cred here by the incessant shilling, and customers who may have been inclined to go see them backed off when a girl got his recommendation.

Experience has taught me, see a unreviewed provider and you will most likely regret that decision. Like others have said   anyone above a 7 is worth serious consideration.    

only until the lipstick fades from your dick.   Lol

I pay attention to performance scores. Looks are subjective. We all like different body types and have specific tastes when it comes to looks.  

I prefer above 7, however, sometimes you will see a 6 with stellar reviews. Or a provider may have lots of 7-10's and a sprinkling of lower scores (6 and even 5). I can see that on perfomance, YMMV, but looks i would think should be more consistent (I know, eye of the beholder, lol)

My best review was my most recent one and the client told me those were not the scores he gave me. In fact I've asked every time if those were the actual numbers given to  me by people I've seen and thus far the TER staff has manually changed all 30+ review scores of mine.

they don't line up because the TER staff manually adjusts the rating to what they consider appropriate based on the review itself. So it really doesn't matter what you choose to give a provider, the TER staff changes it.

To repeat an old TER post (sorry, I don't remember the original poster):  
"Did I ever tell you about the WORST blow job I ever had? ... ... It was GREAT!!"

This is likely done if you don't list specific acts that warrant a higher score, i.e Kissing with Tongue, anal, bbbj. I know that I've had a few reviews kicked back when i would score it as one thing but didn't list any of the acts that warranted the extra points in the review itself. Very strange that TER would manually change the score rather than give the reviewer the opportunity to edit the review. I've also read some reviews that were score at a 10 for performance but didn't mention any acts that warranted those points, so TER is all over the place when reviewing...

Actually that's a great question. Do the hobbyists care about our scores. I've had a few that had said that they saw my ad and Scores. And they didn't care about the score. They just loved what I provided.

Been nothing but whining and crying

I mean look at how involved CDL is on this. So boohoo her ThreADs…. It gets attention.
She just might be pulling the wool over your eyes…lol.

The guy has the worst case of keyboard diarrhea on the board.  Also called logorrhea.

I mean look at how involved nicky is on this. So boohoo her ThreADs…. It gets attention.
She just might be pulling the wool over his eyes…lol.

I cannot recall ever hearing about TER changing the numbers unless the narrative regarding actually acts performed did not support the numbers greater than 7.

TER does not make evaluations or judgment calls. They strictly follow the formula on what activities will support the score and those activities must be plainly and clearly stated by the reviewer.  

Not only that, but if a reviewer tries to post a performance score higher than 7 a box appears which states that certain specified acts must have occurred to support the score. If the reviewer doesn't include/list those acts (dfk, bbbj, anal and/or 2 girl action) then the score is reduced. Not sure what the complaint/issue is because the rules are clear.

The criticism of the TER system is that by the TER staff dictating which acts a provider must perform to be worthy of a 10 rating means nobody is being rated accurately based on the experience the reviewer actually had.  

and gives the guy time to edit the narrative to support the review numbers, which are in part based upon specific services received.  

Why do you care? Your scores are pretty high, dating back all the way from 2008. Your rates are also ridiculously high as well.

"I saw a lady yesterday for the first time who was just amazing."  
 
Okay, already. Uncle! Who is it??

High compared to you budget? I have seen providers with lower scores who charge way more. I don’t think scores dictate price & that’s my point it was a legit ?. Thanks for chiming in my TER friends!

The TER staff DOES NOT manually change each score based on the written review.  In fact, there are more scores that go up unchanged than those that are changed because the majority of reviewers understand what the scoring requirements are.  For most of the ladies I see, the max they qualify for is a 9, so it does me no good to give them a ten, but sometimes, for an exceptional girl, I will say in the review that "I would give her a 10 IF I COULD", but that will not change the score to a 10.  

X-out-of-Y scoring is a 10-out-of-10 idea.

And many other discussions of the same suggestion.

Didn't you post this exact same thing recently, or did I have a psychic vision that it was coming today?  Lol

You initial posts said nothing about TER scoring rules but only how they change scores based on their discretion.

Your claim is mostly false.

Nice comeback.  

to CONFORM to the posted review guidelines.  If you think the guidelines are wrong, go to the "Suggestion and Policy" board and make your pitch to change them.  That's the place to take your case for change.  Question . . .  If it's a critique and not a complaint, why does it still have a "whiney" feel to it.  Lol

Psychic shmychic. I often post about the X-out-of-Y system in REPLY to other posts complaining about the current TER scoring system. The next time you read a thread complaining about the scoring system you can psychicly -- or psychotically -- predict a post with links to past X-out-of-Y discussions.

And I've posted the same cartoon several times. It's kind of spot on. "What do I have to do to get a 10?" Provide a top level PERFORMANCE and three or more of: "Kisses With Tongue, Bare-Back Blow Job, Really Bi, Anal Sex, or More than One Guy." (From the Review FAQ.)  You can still get a 6-out-of-10 with a blah performance despite the extras.  
.
What do you have to do to get a 7-out-of-7? Provide a top performance with just the basics. I have had some FANTASTIC 7-out-of-7s and 8-out-of-8s.

I'd see anyone with an average score above 6. I don't believe scores of 10, or I should say I think they are from fanbois more than generally reliable predictors of service.

Let me simplify the "buzz words approach to reviews" for the reader. Here's a review that was a */9 for a chick named Dana. It would appear from this that the simplistic idea that all you need to do is use the right buzz words is correct... cuz there ain't much more to this one.  
 
I wrote a review for 'Bonnie' and gave the girl a 9. I've been around, and she was a 9. I said it was bare ("she sucked on my deflating cum and pussy-juice covered cock"). I said I forgot she was charging ("I was able to momentarily forget it was a service"). I didn't use buzz words because I thought I had entered a world where reviews were actually read, a more sophisticated world... better. I said she was a 9 ("SA 9.0/9.5"). The powers that be disagreed.
 ____________________
"9" review of Dana. All he had to say was bbbj and bbfs. What a joke (not the reviewer, the system):
 
The extended stay was nothing special but at least the parking was convenient as was the access.
 
Cute face. GND type. Happy, smiling, playful. Very at ease with what she's doing. Not much English but with the translator app that's no big deal.
 
What a body. Sometimes Asian girls are frankly too skinny with no ass. She's slim with wonderful small breasts, I'm guessing natural B's. Nice little ass, just the right size for a spinner. Delicious and tight pussy.
 
Nice kisser, cheerful, almost bubbly, but in a good way. Good bbbj and I chose the upgrade for bbfs.
 
Would absolutely see her again, and again.

Dude, for crying out loud, this is exactly my pet peeve when it comes to reviews: changes are made without giving the monger the opportunity to address whatever issues the authorities identified. I can't see how that would add that much time to their day, and may even reduce it or come out even.
 
Much of this particular discussion would be moot if we got a chance to edit OUR OWN reviews (not that I don't appreciate some of what else they do regarding reviews that is a benefit to us).

When the review is being edited it is able to be edited, I'm like 95%sure it cannot be read/accessed. So it makes sense you cannot edit it on a whim.

I'll accept that once in a while someone might honestly forget to put some specific act that did occur in the text of the review and so end up with the score they gave being reduced due to that omission. However, I suspect that more times someone is putting their score in without paying attention to the rules or flat out ignoring/disregarding the rules and then will want to add something that never occurred to keep the score they wanted to give.

that REQUIRES editing, it will not be approved, and the mods will tell you WHY it was not approved.  That is your chance to edit.  The ONLY changes that are made by the mods are to make sure the score reflects the activities described in the narrative.  They never change anything in the narrative, not even grammar or punctuation to the chagrin of many here.  So your claim is completely false.  If you think it through, you will probably understand why the editing period is allowed BEFORE the submission, but not after the approval.
