I've noticed many providers on BP and elsewhere post links to their TER reviews and I have to ask about some of them....

Why would a provider post a link to a review that isn't flattering such as "not really a true GFE experience" or "Pictures aren't very recent, she's much older/heavier/skinnier" or "Would not repeat" or... well you get the idea?

I don't know about BP but I believe that City Vibe places the link automatically. Unless they are registered here and have provider level VIP status they can't actually read the review...or even see the numbers.  My guess is that they feel being reviewed on TER is a plus for them in the legitimacy department even if it's bad or they can't read it.

It's not automatic on PB, the provider must post the link.

I think you're probably correct in that it establishes legitimacy.

so many will assume that being "TER REVIEWED" is a plus but will not actually be VIP members who can read the reviews. Many will not even bother, yet still consider the TER "brand" on her page to mean something positive.

You will find quite a few BP and CL girls who will claim to be TER reviewed and yet their phone or email does not link to a review.....

They are counting on the kinda new system TER has installed where you can't even see the number ratings let alone, some of the reviews. I think she may be counting on the fact that a lot do not have membership to TER and can not read the reviews.

Just my opinion...

Sort of related ... Date-Check is supposed to link automatically to several review sites. Lots of times the TER link turns up empty and further searching (name, number, email) turns up no TER reviews. D-C is handy for referrals but I still want to see real reviews on TER before I call.

(eom) means "end of message" i.e. there is nothing read if you open the message.
I am also TER reviewed.

I think they figure that those with savy are members of review boards and are gonna check for their reviews no matter what. The suckers that are not on any boards might try to check their reviews but won't get much detail without membership status. They will simply see the babe has been reviewed and assume that means she is OK. Actually , there is little for them to lose by mentioning reviews  but much to gain.
