I don't know about anyone else, but I am damn sick and tired of the coddling of "delisted" and "no review" providers.

 
We have the poster child for delisted and no review policy providers, who is allowed to use screenshots of TER reviews to advertise her services on her website. Fuck that. She has reviews on her own site, she should be allowed to be reviewed by any of us. Sham delisting and no review policies are bullshit. I believe TER rules say she shouldn't even be allowed to post, yet here she appears on the reg, just to slam the site and members. Let her post by all means; but call her shit what it is and reinstate her profile and reviews. There, I followed the rules and didn't mention her delisted name.

 
There are "No Review", vocal anti-slobbyist providers out there who either have no profiles to begin with or who are delisted - yet they have reviews on other sites. Well damn, if they can be reviewed on other sites and be fine with it, they can have their ass reviewed here too.  

 
Hell, a "No Review" provider with bogus "testimonials" on her site is also a sham.  

 
Providers engaging in sham no review bullshit like the above need to be fair game for TER reviewers.  

 
I say that if we can provide evidence of sham "no review" policies (for example, reviews from other sites), then we should be allowed to review.  

 
Allowing a provider to delist just because she says she is a "no review" girl (wink-wink) is crap.

 
I hate to say it, but supporting and coddling "no reviews because I say so" providers is some serious institutional White-Knighting.

Oh wait, we’re not forced to see them😆

TER follows it's own rules. If they bother you move on -- much like all the advice about every other behavior (deposits, PII in screening, no reviews, no PICs....) people like complaining about.

 

Ranting about other sites is not going to change what they do and unlikely to make any improvement on TER.

Beat me to it. Simple - don't see a no review provider as your choice. Plenty of fish in the sea.

She didn't "delist" she got delisted. IOW she got kicked off the site. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know she made the usual claim that people always make that "I didn't get fired, I QUIT" but we all know better than that. lol

 
Yes, I agree that rip off hookers shouldn't be allowed to run from their reviews, but it is what it is. Nobody is forcing any of us to see these MHB's,  

 
BTW If memory serves me right, our drunk little friend actually had some pretty decent reviews here

Tell me where have I heard this one before. Hmmm.  

 
Certainly a great position to have for any feedback that is critical.

Why the powers that be here delist reviews is a mystery to me.    
.
Of course they can do what they want.
.
But if they are interested in appealing to their paying customers (mostly clients) it would serve them well to listen to their paying customers.

+1 vote from me as well

 
Most unique visitors come to this site for a single purpose.

"If you don't like my rules, feel free to go somewhere else"  

 
and guess what? That is EXACTLY what I do.

 
TER is a different story entirely, this is a DISCUSSION board, attempting to shut down actual discussion about the things we are unhappy with hardly promotes actual discussion. lol I have seen people saying the exact same thing on the S&P Board, a forum designed for that express purpose of making suggestions and airing our grievances, I guess we should be thankful that Jensen isn't running this board or we would all find ourselves on lifetime moderation.

 
(Note to Rocket) Please observe that I am trying to AGREE with you, please don't fuck it up by trying to find some minor point where we disagree. PLEASE.

There should be an archive of ALL reviews.

I don't have tons of extra income to waste, so I check P411 and Google.  If they don't have a link for reviews, then I pass.  If I can't find reviews from a alternative site then I pass.  I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone here so if I can see a provider and write a review and get credit for it then it's a go, if I can't review her or she doesn't want to be reviewed, I move on.  The old adage is there are plenty of ladies who don't not want to be reviewed, but in my area it is less than that so selection is slim pickings.  But that's the gist of it.  

That's a bit of reading between the lines. "Move on" doesn't mean "get the fuck out of here." But given who you seem to want to follow the lead from I get you might not actually be thinking it all the way through.

 
As the last statement said, the the rant is unlikely to accomplish anything so if that was the intent there are better approaches. For instance, a more reasoned post on the Suggestions and Policy board. However, even if the OP doesn't want to go that path it will be better to just move past the situation and focus on more enjoyable things in life. Which, BTW, was a pretty obvious point with the reference to most suggestions about how to deal with screening requirements one doesn't like: move on. That doesn't mean leave the P4P world.

 
And no where did I tell anyone to shut up or stop talking about anything.  You really have started becoming a rather boorish prig over the past few months.

 

I'm pretty sure "why not just go use those other sites" entails just that. The problem is local to TER. Why do we need to go to any other sites instead of wanting TER to be better?

 
The problem here isn't an abstract "how can I use all resources available to me to extract info".

The problem here is "let's stop bad-intent providers from abusing TERs no review policy"

 
And the solution op provided is

 
"I say that if we can provide evidence of sham "no review" policies (for example, reviews from other sites), then we should be allowed to review."

You have either become very stupid or very dishonest over the past few months.

 
People have been going on "Rants" like the OP since long before you ever showed up here, I might suggest you follow your own advice and simply "move on" if it's you that doesn't like it. And if you think that when I use those very same words as you that's I mean for you to "shut up" or "stop talking" well then maybe you understand simple fucking English after all and you are simply being dishonest about what your words were intended to mean.

END OF MESSAGE

I'm pretty sure I've posted about this here; I know I've tweeted and blogged about it.  ;-P

 
If someone like things differently than how I handle them?  Great!  See someone who does things YOUR WAY.  I'm too old to bend over backwards to please everyone anymore.  

It's true for pretty much any kind of business, though, right?   If you want a steak, don't go to a vegan restaurant.  

 
So when people ask me to do things I don't do, perhaps argue with me about my age-minimum or screening requirements?  Why?   Go see someone whose policies you DO like and whose style fits your needs and preferences.  

 
Now, there's nothing wrong with politely asking for an exception but don't get offended if she tells you to find someone else.  

 
(That last isn't directed at you, GaG.  I'm well aware you're unlikely to be offended by ANYTHING a provider says lol)

BTW, I believe part of your job description is bending over "forward" not backward. lol

 
And yes one of the main reasons I don't come on this board whining about GPS hookers and their unrealistic expectations is that I simply skip right over them without giving them a second thought, kind of like how I can't ever see how a carnivore (omnivore) like myself would EVER find himself in a vegan restaurant to borrow an analogy from you.
