Recently, I attempted to schedule an appointment with Ms. Kelly aka Valayah Kelly.  

Kelly uses an assistant, Lisa with who I scheduled an appointment. I won't bore you with the details, but the long and short of it is that on 3 seperate instances Lisa had to call me to cancel the appointment.

I submitted a review articulating this, but the review was not posted.

Do you think, these type of reviews should be allowed?  Personally, I think they would help the community by identifying flakes!

What are your thoughts?   If you agree please e-mail TER to change their policy - Thanks!

[PS:  I have attached a link to the said review.  I am not sure whether or not other can see.]

"You cannot view reviews you did not write".  That's what your link says.  Conspiracy confirmed.

What are you talking about?  

If the review is posted and approved you should be able to view.  You maynot be able to view the link because the submitted review was not approved.

Keep your unfounded and ridiculous conspiracy theories to yourself!

I dont think so, becuase its not a review.  Reviews should be done ONLY when two people actually meet....

Ok!  Do you have a suggestion as to how this experience could be captured?  In other words, do you have an alternative?

simply by posting on this board although I would guess that posting on your local regional board would have a more immediate effect. However, in scheduling appointment as with all things in life shit happens. Imagine the altenative to the white list, a black list for each time a client canceled on a provider. Remember my friend...glass houses

Unfortunately, cancellations happen from both sides.  I do not usually consider it a big deal.  It may help to require that a lady actually to confirm the day before or day of before actually securing the location.  Things do change and oversites are sometimes made.  As long as we can do our best to co-exist that is about as good as things will ever get.  We are all only human.

The alternative is to post it on the boards for everyone to see.  Then, they bash it about and come to their own conclusions.

Ijust think if someone wants to, they can post it somewhere..that sif they really want to, if it will make the guy feel better..and if the lady judt stood the guy up with no good reason..though noone should stand anyone up..but soemtimes there is a good reason for it.....but most times , thing s would be fine, if a simple, short, and quick phone call was made..

 Kisses..S

No. You cannot post a review if the meeting did not occur. The best you can do, is post a message on your regional board.
In addition, your link is under YOUR personal "account manager". When someone else clicks onto the link, you get that message "you cannot view reviews you did not write"

If that happens I just drive to the casino and play poker.  Sometimes being cancelled on is a blessing in disguise.

I agree that board postings are the way to go.

Before we start excusing this one provider, remember, she canceled on him 3 times - not just ONCE.  How would providers feel if the same client canceled on them 3 times in a row?  I don't think you'd just say 'shit happens' and forget about it.
