I've been in the hobby for a little over 15 years. I look back and see my first review was 8 years ago. When I first found ter I was sold on its ability to help and keep us all safe.  
I paid for vip the first year or two. I am a low use guy. I see a girl once a year usually.  
I recently had a wonderful time with a un-reviewed girl. I asked her if she wanted the extra attention a ter review would bring her. I explained what ter was and how it could be useful to her.  
After writing my review its been unapproved for "lack of juicy details".
I know this is a public forum but can't some things still be between a man and women?

I can't tell you how many clients I've had who've had the same issue. While "juicy details" can be fun to read, it's a shame that they're a requirement for reviews to be accepted. It would be wonderful if TER offered clients the ability to write mini reviews or something similar.  A client could let other interested parties know if the provider was safe, professional, and accurately represented by her photos without having to rehash every single thing they did together. Not every client fancies themselves an erotic fiction writer lol

The name of this site is The Erotic Review.  
There are other boards in which one can exchange the inane , banter , insults, political views, dating tips , etc.....Though , unfortunately all of that does happen to occur here.

Just don't write the review at all then if you feel that way. No harm in that and no one is forcing you to write a review.

One of the reasons this site destroyed its competition is exactly bc it required juicy details.

As much as I dislike writing the juicy details I realize how much exposure it gives to the provider.
What I do miss from when I started was the menu that was listed in P411 that was done by the providers themselves. Add the reviews on TER to the defined menus options rather than the ambiguous details offers today and you had everything but the chemistry.  
Then I never saw a TER provider who was not P411 although most of the time still do not.

I review with all the details about how to contact and give honest review of looks. Menu item vary greatly between customer and provider. I use this site to stay safe and keep everyone that way

Either accept it and give what's asked, or don't submit anything.
It is required for women reviewers as well, so what happens between 2 women isn't immune either.
I'm not a huge fan of having to do it  but I know that it does have value. I often get follow up PM's requesting additional info. At least that part of it is private

Theoretically, the reviews keep clients safe and provide info on value for money. However, I've had enough regulars who continue reading the provider reviews long after confirming her level of service. I know this because they'll comment on recent reviews and recite the details. I've never asked why because I don't want to seem judgy about it, but gather some just enjoy the entertainment value. It's a form of porn for them, it seems. Sometimes it does feel as though they are monitoring the providers, making sure others aren't getting more than them or waiting for something negative to turn up to help warn the girl.  Whatever the reason, the details are clearly a part of their hobby participation.

Not all of us want to read, or write a "letter to Penthouse"

Squeeze, you hit one very important point.  I continue to read reviews of my ATF because she's to busy to mess around on TER, and I can alert her about weirdness in her reviews.  And I will admit that it is interesting to read about what she does in her BDSM sessions, which is something I don't get into, personally.

That's doesn't make them right necessarily but if I were them I would not risk it.

If what you do with me you may not do with others,assuming that all the clients that you see are well clean and groomed,then it is part of it discriminatory behavior the one you practice with your clients,I thought you will have the same menu for every hobbyist,this way we really know what you do,instead of you will do this with  him and not with me,reviews are for us to know what you do and if you are good at it and at the same time to inform providers what we like and if you agree then you book us and if don't like what we like then don't book us just to take our money and don't do what we like to do and pay for it!

Some guys only have the resources to see maybe one woman a month. Researching providers, reading and rereading reviews, back channeling with other hobbyists, learning every minor detail they can glean about the women that interest them helps fill the time in between actually seeing providers.

There was a thread about chemistry the other day and reviews can kill it for me.  I don't mean picky reviews or really sexually  graphic ones.  I mean the ones where there truly seemed to be an astounding chemistry and then the review tells every sentence exchanged, blink, chuckle, hair toss, personal detail along with the sex acts.

extremely graphic language and detail. Some simply are unable or unwilling to do so.

A little pot meet kettle here but here goes. the Juicy Details can be quite useful IMO. Sometimes things there counter what's on an old profile for a lady. Are the claims often false? Sure. It's up to the guy to flesh out prior what's fact vs fiction. Juicy details from solid quality reviewers CAN be quite useful.

Everything from their format, their discussion software, their reviews, you name it, and they were/are inferior to TER.  

But for all intents...it is history.

Actually, you make a valid point. It really does depend on who the reviewer is and what rep he has re: the juicy details.

Why not allow for juicy details *and* shorter reviews?  I can't imagine that would be anything but good for business.  I know I'd certainly have a few more reviews up there lol.

Which I suppose is my way of saying I agree as well.

a total fucking PITA. You're right here for sure.

How about if TER allowed for reviews with a lower threshold of juicy details, but didn't offer free VIP for those kind of reviews?

I'm sure there are plenty of people here who thoroughly enjoy reading your reviews... Myself included

sorry jack but i agree,  i write extensive reviews, but mainly out of my habit as a writer and a reader.  i dislike reading one paragraph reviews of little detail ("we took off our clothes, main she was built!  some dfk lead to daty and a bbbj, then cg mish and doggie.  i popped and left a happy man").  i think the idea of a mini review would be much better.

They have no interest in keeping anyone safe or making sure ladies are "legit". Their only interest is to have their pool of reviews be as large as possible so they can get traffic and collect memberships fees. They actively encourage fakes by offering free VIP for it. If providers speak out, they are punished. If guys try to write more tasteful reviews, they are not allowed to post them. TER is a tyranny, not a democracy. End of story.

not sure if no incentive would produce as many reviews as would be otherwise created.

a total fucking middle eastern flatbread?  huh?

at the risk of sounding like a mangina, i follow reviews of providers i've seen because i like to think she's doing well in her business and getting high marks from other consumers.  one lady i saw was getting consistently high reviews and broke into the top 100 at number 11, and i congratulated her for doing so well.  ironically she pulled herself off of ter soon after than, wanting to keep a low profile, so there is that mixed effect happening with reviews.

Would you buy a car based on a review that said things like:  It has a motor and 4 wheels, and really nice paint job.

But I wouldn't need to read a driver's 1,000 word essay on "the gentle caress of the leather under my thighs" or to read about how "each cheerful chirp of the turning signal was music to my ears..." to get the point either lol.

But thanks none the less.

The reviews help me with the do's and don'ts the provider has.

The ones who check to see if Courtney looks like their pictures, if she was nice, if she was on time, if he would go back.

A couple of weeks ago I pointed out to the admin. that I had found a reviewer who just copy/pasted his reviews onto the next random girl.  Of his 10 or so reviews, there were two variations.  No fucking way in hell they could be anything but fake but  TER told me unless thge girl complained, they wouldn't do anything.  Tyranny may be a little overreach, but they sure don't give a rats ass about accuracy.

Ive had the pleasure of reading and writing reviews.
I've been asked not write and have obliged.
Other times ibe had the pleasure to TOFT and wrote the 1st.

"......but if I were a dude, reading some other guy's horror story of how he licked the wetness of her pussy for some would be kind of - er - um - odd."

Definitely not the hobby for the jealous .... Sorta surprised that some would, considering gals were in the game before they became their ATF, but I've learned you don't say all or none ... it takes all kinds

Just check out mine. When you get to talking about the action, just list specific acts that happened. It's not necessary to go into detail with those. I agree with the opinion that most reviewer's juicy details are tasteless, sometimes they're cloying.

Actually I just got one rejected for not being graphic enough. Go figure.
