I do a lot of reading on here because I feel I can continue learning things about this hobby. I have noticed lately that the topic of fake reviews has come up. My thought on this is if the provider and TER had a system where when a new review was written on them then TER could notify the provider thru pm or a text so she can verify she saw them before the review is posted. This could eliminate fake reviews. What's your thoughts on this?

But that may involve Ter to actively reach out to people for verification. I doubt they wanna pony up the money for the extra work. LOL.  

Not sure if I'm supposed to mention another site here but another verification site  lets a client know when a provider has looked at his profile

...they will never do.

For example, if the provider thinks it could be a poor review, she could deep-six the review, and thereby prevent other potential clients from being forewarned, among other draw-backs

The one thing TER could do that would eliminate virtually all of the fake reviews is to stop offering free membership. If you write two reviews in a month, you get one month free VIP (or at least that is my understanding). What could possibly go wrong with that scenario? Lol

Reviews should be visible to any one who logs on. The only thing that should have to be purchased is the ability to PM. More fakes are written to obtain PM privileges.

...is a fully automated procedure on P411.  No human "labor" involved.

A woman would know if she is expecting a bad review, and would very likely know the man's TER name from screening.  She would not need to see the content of that review, she would simply block it.

Rewarding reviewers with VIP is a system that works.  Leave that alone

I think the number of fake reviews is not nearly significant enough for ter to do something about it. Besides, how do you think TER come to have the largest review archive out of all the review sites?

How do you eliminate the fakes? Because right now, guys who want VIP sign up, write two bogus reviews that are typically way off from the other reviews the lady has and they still get pushed through. Now the provider is in a bind because she doesn't know this person so she has no proof that they did or did not meet. I would wager that there are many more fakes floating around then you think

My understanding is that TER can track IP numbers so creating a new name will not enable fakers to hide.  Yeah they can buy a new computer but that's a lot more expensive than paying for VIP.

Or is this the only one?

I mean it's quite obvious that someone must be holding a gun to your head, literally forcing you to remain here against your will.

Do you also realize how many of those reviews are for ladies who are not on TER? You expect TER to contact every provider that receives a review?
Also how would this work for bait and switch, rob, and just poor performance reviews? You really expect the provider to approve those? "Yes, I saw him." "Yes,Those are not my real pics." "Yes, I chased him out the door in 15 minutes even though he paid for an hour."

Not gonna' happen. Some guys are afraid of girls so they go under an alias and give little to no details so they can hide from girls lol.

Is it me, or your last posts are actually funny? Keep it up 😉

Would it then be required that we give our TER handle to every hooker we review? If not how would they know whom the review came from? Many reviewers don't post their reviews for weeks or months after the session. For those that are high volume well good luck figuring out which john submitted which review without knowing their persona on TER. So no this would not eliminate fake reviews it would simple lead to mass confusion and no reviews.

I would bet that you have multiple IP addys attached to your handle.  Likely your primary IP addy is your computer that is static.  However, if you log on with a phone at Starbucks...you have a different IP addy.  Log off there and head over to some other wifi spot and log back on..voila..another IP addy for your current handle.

I think the system is being manipulated by people that do not want to pay for VIP. I think there should be more weight in white-listing... Or some verification from providers.

Girl needs a boost, she'll reach out to a friend for alittle "help". And then there's someone that will charge a provider for a fake to review to help kick start someone...or again, as a boost to get the word out....It's just trying to weed out the BS that's the trick.

The review system is nowhere near flawed enough to render it useless as a tool. Thousands and thousands of guys use it every day and thousands of women rely on their good reviews for a big part of their livelihood.  

And you don't have to buy a new computer. Lol.

Legit reviews. There would be a drop in the total new reviews submitted (which obviously TER does not want) and there still would be fake reviews. I also disagree with your idea that guys writing fake reviews just to get VIP are writing reviews way out of line with the lady's existing reviews. I would guess most of the people doing it just to gain free VIP would submit reviews exactly on line with her other reviews to stay under the radar. Fake reviews that are way out of wack are not written for free VIP. They are written for other reasons.

It was very specifically an indictment of TER.

but could it really be any other way?

I had a provider friend post in the LV section about a fake review. I PM'd her and told her to contact admin. They have always been responsive to me. Within a few days, the fake review was removed. My experience here is Admin. is mostly responsive and very responsible.

yeah, i gotta say fat vern is starting to grow on me.

And I agree with her. It is by the john, for the john and always will be. She is merely stating the truth as she sees it and again, I agree. I don't have an issue with this site at all. I only come here to mess about and know the score and with whom I am playing.  

She was not saying she is forced to do anything...she is stating the obvious. TER is not about the hookers at all. Never will be.  

She OTOH is trying to have it both ways, and she is completely FOS on this one, not to mention a complete hypocrite on this issue.  

At east then when a hooker is accused of dropping services she can let everyone know why. If she walks out on a scary trick, she can say why. And not have that trick post a bad review just because she walked through the door and he "saw" her.  

She thinks TER is a sexist, misogynist and demeaning vehicle towards the women here and yet she feels SO strongly about those convictions she cant leave it?

Hookers contest bad reviews on the regional boards all the time, sometimes their White Knights step up to defend them and they actually benefit from the extra exposure and other times they are exposed as the BSC hookers they are.  

This whole world is a big fucking lie

Regional boards are not the same as placing a rebuttal under the review where all johns who are checking her reviews read it.

TER does the best job of any review site, by far. But, the real problem is not fake hobbyist reviews. The real problem are reviews "planted" by escorts.  I can give you the name of at least top 100 I have seen that I know for a fact has fake "good  reviews  (10/10)."  I can also give you the names of numerous others who have submitted fake reviews from accounts they create themselves.  

And what makes some so special and others not so much?

(Or tricks, johns, or whatever you want to call them). I don't think anyone is disputing that. My comment about following the twitter page has to do with her comment about TER's management and crimes against providers. That appears to be lifted right off the twitter feed. I am also not disputing that story, just the fact that those on that twitter page are rehashing ten year old news like it is a current event.  

I have had my hand slapped by TER and also been given advice no how to handle touchy situations. TER appears to try to strike the proper balance.

This is a very good point. We need to share our strategies for finding legit reviews.

Hookers get bad, but true reviews removed all the time. You are being every bit as one sided as the people you are accusing of the same behavior.  

Trick shows up with a dirty dick (refuses a shower when asked)...hooker refuses BBBJ and wants to put a cover on to make it bearable and possibly safe. Trick gets pissed and slams her in a review.

Read what I wrote in reply to PerfectStorm.  

You can bet your ass "something" is going on. No woman can be all things to all people and when you see the same women first getting a mediocre score or two and then seeing those mediocre scores miraculously disappearing,  it's pretty obvious that some hanky panky is going on.  

My ONLY issue is with safety...not 10/10 scores. I won't repeat myself here but do read what I posted to PS....my view always has been on the health and safety aspect and not the numbers. And how even an honest hooker can be penalized for being safe and not being able to tell the TRUTH. Yeah I do have an attitude...a big one for my health and the health and safety of ALL hookers. This goes so far beyond appearance scores. The only change I have been vocal about is rebuttals under the review.

Maybe that is YOUR issue, but "safety" is not the topic at hand.  

It always has been and it is related to allowing hookers to refute untrue reviews by tricks. If those untrue reviews are allowed and they are, it is not surprising hookers will game to get their advantage. Neither is right, and that is part of this overall topic.

There can be abuse, too. I worked at a SE agency that took great care to avoid reviews and keep girls delisted, even if it meant avoiding good reviews.  
-No reviews + no sex questions on phone or email = expectation issues. And with no reviews,  clients could lie about the norms with the other girls to sway you.  
-If you are new at an agency, reviews from previous work can help establish reliability (prior boss could also vouch for you, but has little motivation to do so). Having no such referencing does make you more  vulnerable to accusations from either clients or co-workers who could get you fired (or try to, at least). TER has no monopoly on bullies and fantasists.  
-The absence of reviews means that having real and accurate pics was constantly doubted. Rumors abound and much business gets lost.
If I could press a button to make TER go away, it would certainly be tempting to do so.  But, from my (agency girl) perspective, it has some advantages.

...as a "hobby."  Totally false - what we DO is our hobby; WHO we do are women.

I would reply to that, but you only rank an 8.8, and my minimum is 9.

Just missed the cut.

Your vitriol on this topic is over the top.  Your disdain for men is also quite clear.  Your other posts here indicate you are a member of at least one other review site.  I can see why you chose to create another posting handle here.  I wouldn't want to really see someone who hates themselves as much as you seem to hate yourself.

I know some of those women that have followed that feed and am not surprised at the crap they are spewing.  I see some of that same garbage on the posts some of them are posting here.  The theme of safety is simply ludicrous.  And the bashing of some of the posters here on that feed suggests that the only tactic those banned women have is to bully.  

If the review is not favorable, she will simply say, Never seen him before.

is you are still talking about the extortionist/reviewer. The better approach may have been to ignore it, or perhaps have your profile delisted in protest.

If you eant to play the blame game, blame all the women who want to be reviewed.

As pointed out, the way a provider handles herself in such a situation will speak volumes about her.  

Seems to be the dynamic between most employers and employees. Welcome to reality.

The most egregious offenders seem to be the prominent members who write glowing reviews for women that IMO I wouldn't spend money to be with.  

Decent johns who give fair reviews don't have anything to fear. And I agree 100% with how a hooker handles a rebuttal would be a great screening tool for the guys.

...to qualify for it. It gives them use of the PM system, and the ability to read all the details of their own reviews, and a link to their profile/reviews in every post they make. It also gives them access to Provider Only functions such as White Listing and searching potential clients here on TER by the their e-mail.
