There's a thing called the Law-   Have you heard of it?

Law Enforcement?   Heard of that too?

Then you can understand why some of the older more experienced dudes talk as little as possible about anything real on this site.  And why ladies go off the sites when they think they have enough client base to do it.

If you want unrestrained hobby info- you gotta go North or to Europe- places where governments use a little logic to rule- and the common man is a little brighter.  

Although jmy may be a bit extreme in some of his views :P, I wholeheartedly agree with his basic premise.  It isn't really necessary to write a review on a lady who has more than a page or two of reviews, as long as she has a recent one and your review is mostly in agreement with what is already out there.  However, if there aren't many reviews posted on a lady, the reviews are important for her and for your fellow hobbyists, whether the review is good or bad.  Also, if you have a really good or a really bad experience, a review should always be posted.  

I know that a lot of you guys are "under the radar"...the survey said 4 out of every 10 guys don't post reviews.  However, IMO, it kind of is weak for a guy to take advantage of this service and NEVER contribute anything to it, especially if he sees a lady who doesn't have many reviews posted. I mean, use a buddy's computer if you can't use the one at home.  Without reviews, there would be no TER, and without TER, the hobby would be so much more of a crapshoot for all of us, it isn't funny.

you writing reviews is not a fun thing to do especially when one is busy with hobbying and other matters.

Being an active reviewer can be draining at times especially when one had to choose words judiciously so that interests of both fellow hobbyists and ladies can be served.

I knew a few active TER board members who hesitate to write reviews because they don't want the responsibilities of accidentally misleading others as their scoring rating and taste are different from the average reviewers.  Some don't want to take the chance of offense ladies they are still seeing or upset the chance of getting appointments with other ladies with truthful reviews.  Some only backchannel their finds with their buddies.  Some don't want to post reviews in case their SOs found out the truth about their hobbying activities and use details of their reviews against them.  Others don't want to create the supermodel/superescort phenomenon with their glowing reviews.  They feared that the ladies will raise their rates and reduce their availablities once they achieve certain fame in a local community.

All the above reasons are valid to a certain extent. Unfortunately sometimes new ladies are so desperate to get reviews, they chose to self-post.  Inevitably, they got caught and banned from TER even though they might provide wonderful services to hobbyists.  This has happened many times last years, a number of them in LA.

Many TER members question ladies they are interested in about their lack of sufficient recent reviews.  Many also adopt the rule of not seeing any ladies without at least 3 solid reviews from veteran reviewers.  Interestingly though, many of those same TER members also refuse to or stop posting reviews.  Hence the tragedy of worthwhile ladies being delisted because of self-posting perpetuates.

Unfortunately, this is a recurring theme in TER with no end in sight.

For me not halving more reviews it is a matter of funds, I just took care of that problem by finding a job. So look out for more from me on an assorted cast of ladies.

I agree with you as to whay 40% of VIP's do NOT post reviews.  Some do not due to wanting to stay under the radar or not to offend the lady.

My opinion is if you write a review that is honest, truthful and not vulgar it helps EVERYBODY!  it helps weed out the bad providers or make them re-look at their way of doing buisness and possibly improving their level of service.

I have always writen reviews on ladies I have seen. Be it a one time shot or if I have seen her multiple times.  I wish the staff would not pull old reviews written afer the 2nd or 3rd time you have seen the lady so people can see what kind of track record they have.

I don't buy the Law issue, they are looking more at providers not hobbyists unless you are looking for street walkers.

I feel if you are going to use this board to benefit yourself, you should make some sort of contribution to help the cause.
