2.2 million
Have you ever wondered about the number of reviews TER has received over the last 20 years? Not the ones you see approved (currently at 1,538,982 as I am typing this?
In the beginning we did have to purge a few reviews but how many unapproved reviews, do you think are still available for us to see?
Give us your guess. The 25 members closest to the number will receive 30 FREE VIP Days. We will accept answers up until Sunday April 26, midnight my time zone.
By the way, would you like to read some of those reviews, minus the providers' names and the reviewers' name?
I would say that would be a good one to guess, but you know I'll never tell.
How about a contest to guess the date when the Three Hundred Fifty Thousandth profile will appear?
You can see all of them, however many that is.
The incentive to create a review probably entices bad ones or even fakes. But I have no idea how many. I'll say one in two, so an equal number of rejects - 1.5 million rejects (total of accepted and rejected 3 million.)
I guess by message order I will have to change to 3,000,002.
I'm not sure I'm up to the task but....
8,711,939 unapproved reviews.
Look forward to hearing the true answer.
unapproved reviews. Let the dead stay buried. I'm only interested is reading current reviews of ladies that are still working. For me, that and the discussion boards are the only reason to be here. Those that want to read anonymous salacious stories have Penthouse Forum (at least I think they still have that. Come to think of it, I haven't noticed one in about 20 years - lol).
MY GUESS . . . . .
Since reviewers are given the opportunity to edit reviews that have not been approved in order to correct deficiencies, I would think the number would not be that large. I would say in the range of 200,000 over the life of TER.
unapproved reviews might be more honestly descriptive. For example, my single unapproved review was squelched by a girl who didn't like her honestly-rated 7/7, so she told TER the date never happened. I don't think they believed her because if they really thought it was a fake review they should have banned me. And they didn't. If you got to read the review you'd learn that , a) she's really not that great looking, and b) she has garlic breath. Good to know, right?
If she had dead fish breath I was going to suggest an introduction. Lol
If she'd had dead fish breath I would have walked. Then there would have been no review to begin with.
That was a review that was approved, disputed by the provider, and deleted from the system by TER, right? Or do reviews that have been taken down revert to unapproved status? It's still sitting on your My Reviews list?
Sorry if I wasn't clear. And, no, it is not sitting on my own My Reviews list. I think it was there for a while but now it's totally gone. Not sure when that happened or why.
I am going to guess that a lot of reviewers give up after the first attempt or two., BUT most reviewers post multiple reviews which means that they keep editing their reviews until they do get approved, HMMM, it seems like those two factors cancel each other out.
I guess 3,578,643 total reviews
and no, I rarely read even the reviews that get approved in their entirety. I only skim them to get the info I need to make a yes or no decision on whether or not to see any given provider.
Just to clarify, when you say 3,578,643 total reviews , you mean 3,578,643 minus the approved ones?
3,578,643 minus the approved ones.
Unless the other number is closer. lol
153,898
No I don't want to see them!

1,723,237 unapproved reviews and yes I’d love to see them.
I have had a few reject due to factors like: bad email, not the right name (but that's what she told me), etc. With a little clean up the finally got approved.
So my number is 4,752,012
I would love to read the bloopers and outtakes! I am sure there are a select few that were hilarious or raunchy and you could not publish!
I used the 80/20 rule (sort of)! 80% of reviewers catch on pretty quickly, but 20% of reviewers get a review rejected for each one they successfully submit.
So 1,558,982 approved reviews (actually 1,584,014 right now).
As others have suggested, a lot are not approved, kicked back, edited, and then approved.
I am assuming that drafts that are started but not submitted are not counted.
I think that the number is much smaller than most people think. Definitely not 1:1 approved to not approved. Or even 2 approved for every 1 disapproved. Probably around 20 percent are initially disapproved. But some are approved when resubmitted. So I am going to guess around 14 percent or 225,000 are ultimately unapproved.
Now if we consider the reviews that are taken down because a provider complains then that is probably another 15-25,000. So 225,000-250,000 depending on how it is calculated. Final guess: 225,000.
You could just increase my VIP days by 30 now.
And yes, it would be interesting to see these.
6,305,777.. i won't give you my secret algorithm to come up with that
My guess is that there have been 1,420,420 unapproved reviews.
I missed you, man!
My guess is 2,000,000 unapproved reviews. No, I don't want to read them.
672,000
And no, I don't want to read them.
but might be fun to have the admins pick of few of the "best" and have them posted with the results.
The first one was submitted outside the 90 day time limit. I just didn't get around to it in time.
.
With the second, I somehow mistakenly hit "submit" twice for a review of the same girl/same session. I don't remember how it happened, but it got entered as two reviews. The second one was not approved, of course.
.
A couple times early on I made some mistake that caused the review to get bounced back, but I was able to fix them, resubmit, and get them approved.
.
So there are likely mistakes, fakes, etc. I'm guessing that it's nowhere near the number of approved reviews.
.
My guess is 160,000.
My guess is 310,000 and could care less to read
My guess is significantly more then what shows as current by 6 time, 9,000,000, not including approved or current
314,159 unapproved
First prize is one week in Detroit. Second prize is two weeks in Detroit.
I like to guess 4,500,000.
Many are multiples of seeing the same lady more than once like I have, whether one-on one, or doing doubles.
Also, if I remember right, back in the day, there was an equation that only a third or a quarter guys actually write a review. BUT, many have other alias' other than you or I know.
A lot of ladies admit some of their clients don't write reviews, that they know of, but I know this is horseshit because I've been asked from other guys about certain ladies here and there and they we shared intel.
So, that's my answer. Upwards of 5 million, taking into consideration reviews some of us have asked to be taken down, ladies have asked the same, and/or multiples that didn't jive with the site as a whole.
This includes provider and john alike that could've got popped by LE and got banned, or retired and wiped off the deal forever.
Only Admin knows, but I'm more than positive it's upwards of three times the 'actual' number that's advertised.
Too many variables to take 1.5 million as a 'low ball' in my opinion. Especially with the exquisiteness of the ladies and the resources of some of the guys here.
Shit. mrfisher, GaGambler, Inicky, CDL and a few others can account for the original 1.5 million by themselves...! 
I have more than 60 reviews but only one that wasn't approved.
Only one since I started reviewing here.
mostly for bad grammar.
In one I used an apostrophe improperly, and another had a dangling participle.
I'm beginning to wonder if this who contest is one of those rigged things where at the end they'll say all guesses are wrong because he answer is: Zero (An unapproved review is not a review at all because it was not published.)
Sort of like saying there are no dead fish in a pond because once a fish dies it's no long a fish, or some such thing.
Our own unapproved reviews are still sitting on our My Reviews lists and we can view them. As mentioned above, I have 2 unapproved reviews (only I can see) and 27 approved (TER members can see). Reviews that bounce back that we are able to revise, resubmit, and get approved are not counted here.
.
So, to clarify, you have "scores" (40+?) that you submitted, were not approved/bounced back, and you were not able to revise so that they could be approved?
I see now that most of my unapproved reviews were for wet dreams, that for some reason don't really count.
I didn't realize you were kidding. My sarcasm detector was turned off...

Now that TER allows Virtual Reviews
http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion-boards/ter-general-board-12/we-are-now-accepting-virtual-sex-reviews-965699?page=3
"We are now accepting Virtual Sex Reviews"
I've been having lots a virtual sex and writing lots of virtual reviews in my head.
mostly for bad grammar.
In one I used an apostrophe improperly, and another had a dangling participle.

Total flyer: my guess is 696,969. And like others, no need for me to read the unapproved reviews -- unless someone wants to do highlights.
One! Mine! First review and was too far out. All y’all went over, so I WIN! LOL!!!
What did I win?
Put ‘em up...... one can read them or not.
the 21st century welfare queens...the farmers!

are we still playing?
nobody has gotten it right yet?
it could be any number and if it is off by 1, you're wrong.
This game is stupid.
It doesn't have to be pinpoint accurate. 25 members closest to the actual number win. Ends Sumday... April 26th. All that was included in admins original post.
My guess is 2 unapproved, for every one approved.
I would like to see some of the unapproved ones. I like reading reviews for entertainment. I’m sure some of the rejected ones are very entertaining.

My 4.7 million number is total of approved, unapproved, formerly approved but later removed, etc.
So my guess for unapproved (including removed) is 4.7 mil minus the 1.58 mil
If you want an exact number: 4,753.500
3,169,000 unapproved
?
I would probably up my guess from 225,000 to 375,000 to account for the fact that it used to be more difficult to get reviews approved. Right now everything is easily going through.
Either number is still good.
630,708
blue5361 was the closest without going over (95,708)
TennGabmler was the closest going over by 41,292
Days have been added and emails sent to the top 25 guesstimators.
We did add a few days to all of you who participated on the thread.
The deductions/reasonings on some of the posts were very interesting. Wrong but interesting.
Now we are pretty sure most of you know that mrfisher was kidding about his unapproved reviews for grammar. If you believe that one, then you aren't reading reviews closely.
Again, thanks to all of you for participating. Head over to the Let's Play board in the next few days to a few unapproved reviews and make a few guesses for more days.
Thank you for the days. And I was so close at only 4,050,000 over! Lol
Was interesting to see how low the number was in reality. Thanks for the generosity as well.
Thanks TER!
In celebration, I am booking two hours later this week with one of my ATF’s!
Now let’s see the top 25 unpublished reviews based on hilarious, stupid or outrageous content!
a provider that will give you a two-hour session for 30 days of VIP???? How about sharing her name?
For the 30 days of VIP for my guess of 800,000.
Thanks for free days, Admin. This will keep my spirits up for a while.
