I pay for VIP membership here & it’s worth it.

Sometimes nice TER gents gift me VIP days & I am very appreciative because I love TER!  

All I do is click on the name/handle and I can see how many reviews the person has who they reviewed & who cared enough to whitelist them. I used to attend lots of M&G’s long ago, so I met lots of OG providers & hobbyists at parties that were epic.  

I would rather have VIP on TER, than pay to advertise anywhere.

I don't have VIP and can click the drop down for an account and see the number or reviews and a link to posts by the account.

 
I cannot search for or see the reviews by an account without VIP.  

 
Last, some users have reviews under both their account and an alias, or have had multiple accounts under which reviews were written so those will be exceptions to the rule of looking in the drop down for the name in a post.

If it's a provider a drop down menu should show with options of seeing their reviews, if its a reviewer there will be options to see their written reviews.

Anyone can review under a number of names and/or aliases.
