Have you had VIP and decided to let it expire? Why wouldn't you renew? I honestly can see the benefit on both. For one this is sort of a cool community. On the other hand it can be time consuming and we can get tangled in unnecessary drama.  

Just let mine go..
I think I have a couple more days.  
Didn't see any real value except for PMs.  

Mongers need VIP for PMing. Without VIP, it's hard to do research on providers--can't see most details in profiles nor the details in reviews.  And no way to PM reviewers about specific providers.  

...then I'll renew.

So I only let it lapse when I'm either not seeing clients at all, or not seeing any NEW clients.  

That way I not missing any thing and then right a review

Like right now I do not have VIP. In my early days I generally maintain it, but when TER fired the mods, the powers at TER and I had a fall in out. I cancelled my VIP then.  

life after the loss of VIP, only disappointment.  How can a hobbyist justify not spending $30/mo for full access to reviews and PM capability if he is going to be seeing providers?  Likewise, how a provider risk losing out on PM's that may result in additional business just to save $30.

As a provider with your reviews linked to your handle, you have the Limited Provider VIP. Granted it is not full VIP, but you still have some VIP privileges such as PMs. Saying you don't have VIP is not totally accurate. That is not the same as a hobbyist letting his VIP expire

Although with the question never answered by admin whether they can access your PM without one's authorization, I find it highly unsafe to say anything meaningful thru pm. I mainly like vip for researching potential clients and learn about their writing style and things I can learn about what they like Etc

Because it helps to read full reviews and provider profiles, but there are times that I read some juvenile bullshit and I think, "why am I  wasting my time on here"? I have to comb through a lot of nonsence just to read something interesting. There are some good writers on TER, but you have to wade through the drivel written by some serious malcontents and megalomaniacs who believe their own bullshit to the extent that it's sad.  

I've never paid for VIP. The only times I have it is when I win a sports contest or after I review someone. I like having it, but I don't pm providers or other hobbyists and I only schedule 3-5 appointments a year. It's not a necessity for me

I'm pretty much sticking to regulars of late, so no need to read reviews.

I want to see how he talks about other ladies, whether he's a checklist ticker in his reviews, if he typically scores badly - for example someone wanted to make a booking with me recently in Minneapolis and sounded ok, but I looked up his handle and his reviews are generally very disrespectful sounding and whatever scores the ladies he reviewed had in general he made sure to score lower, so girls who typically got 9's he'd score 7's and girls who got 7's he'd score 5's.
Now you can say what you like about the whole score system but other guys do look at this stuff before they book and there are some reviewers who clearly take delight in having the power to lower your overall scores, and I for one don't want the stress of seeing them. It's not worth the money when there are plenty of other more pleasant fish in the sea!!

What they don't have is the desire or the manpower to listen to EVERYTHING.

t if you wear your tin foil hat!!!!!

Yeah, sure you will. Don't let the door his you on the ass end of your scooter on the way out. lmao

I get VIP & research my bucket list.  Then I let it expire again until there's a need.  I don't see many new providers & that's the main thing I need it for.  Occasionally to make contact over PM before switching to email.

Every Xmas I get a $40 Target gift card from my job, and I will generally use that to get a little over a month of VIP.  I can then answer all the PMs that have built up, and if there are any new women I'm interested in, I can read their reviews and rebuild my "list."  After that, I have all the phone numbers, etc, that I need, and I no longer need the VIP.  The only times I would pay for VIP is if I somehow ran out of companion options, or there was a real emergency, such as a local stalker and I needed to PM some of the local ladies about the situation.

I think their system can flag certain words or names that they then check.

I do something similar.  For me, it's a pain in the ass to go through the cloak and dagger routine to discretely sign up for VIP.  I'll do it every so often to do research and figure out who is on my to-do list.  Then I'll hobby off of that list for a while, let me VIP lapse and then repeat the process when the urge strikes.

een taking lessons from RIP? Or is Engrish hard for you?

Speaking of  juvenile bullshit  ...  Nice alias, coward.
