...it's not just a matter of following the guidelines and being respectful.  I routinely do that yet I still run into problems, usually because the approver misread something, overlooked something, or misunderstood something.  Following the guidelines and being respectful should be sufficient, but it isn't.

It's not all bad; I've had generally good luck with reviews going through.  But if you've been watching in the last couple of months, there's been a ground swell of user discontent with the review approval process.

Just to be clear, I'm a huge fan of TER; this site has been an enormous help to me.  I'd just love to see this review business improved.

There is so much confusion on the subject and contradiction on the subject it is scary. A lot of reviewers and ladies are frustrated with how thing are now it is not funny. Now to be clear I have not ran into problems myself as every review I have written has been posted, yet I seem to be in the minority. TER needs to be more open with their policies on reviews.

I asked once before, but from a history of other websites ...

Sometimes new owners come along and think it's easy to make money from the cash cow without having to take care of the cow or do any work. They often raise fees, ignore maintenance and let the place go to hell and the site soon dies. Someone posted that TER raised the membership fees by switching to Euros.

I'm seeing some of these hallmarks.

Does anyone know if TER changed ownership or management recently?  

...not so sure there are "better" review sites; they all have good and not-so-good elements.  But when you see something like this review process that could so easily be improved and stabilized with just a little adult supervision, it would greatly enhance the user experience on the site.  Someone earlier in the thread nailed one of the biggest problems, and that's the tremendous variability in review approvers' understandings of the policies.  It shouldn't be that two TER reviewers can look at the same review and come up with two different outcomes, approved or not approved, yet that is what's happening.  In some cases, reviewers, upon learning that their review has been disapproved, turn around and immediately resubmit it, and it's often approved upon the resubmission.  That's just messed up.

I now that GaGambler is in Las Vegas this weekend.  Who wants to encourage him to accept bets on when the review database exceeds 700,000?  It's only 150 or so away.

or did I finally finish this afternoon? lol

Rough night/morning. lol, but worth it.

When I can actually compose my thoughts, I'll tell you all about it.

hint) casino girls are still alive and well in Vegas, and contrary to the mangina contingent's thoughts on the subject, sometimes a GREAT time can be had.

Some people think all admin has to do is sit around and read/approve reviews.

They don't get paid for it in the firstplace, but goddam if they have to drop their shit to make sure you give some lady a 6/7. If they're lucky.

Slippery, I dig you. And I'm sure whatever field you work in has processes. It's no different here.

You're talking with a guy that was a process owner and did audits as far as ISO 9002 is concerned.

You gotta have a certain amount of patience as far as this is concerned. This thing we do, I mean.

By no means is it rocket science, but in the same respect there is such a thing as time constraint.

The people have to eat and sleep at sometime. Don't you?

...I don't think any sleeping or eating should be permitted until this review mess is improved substantially!  That's how we fix stuff.  Lock the freakin' doors 'till it's fixed, then you can come out to pee and get a sandwich...  ;-)

But sometimes you just have to accept the fact that what makes sense, and what will actually be done, are two different things.

Redundancy breaks my spirit sometimes. Going thru the motions for the greater good, just to get shit on?

Fuck it.

Tell myself it's only temporary.... ;)

Now, that's how you handle things!
I found "these" sites about 8 years ago when (TBD was actually still relevant). I actually owe credit to these sites for bringing me to the "other" side, although it took years to get my prowess, lol.

I love the GUI of TER and the team  has been responsive and helpful when I've had some issues with a member in the recent past so, I guess I'm still a fan... Despite the change in charging the Euro vs. Dollar especially when this site has mostly US reviews?

I would hate to call TBD home until they can make it easier and more pleasant to navigate (even though I'm a member). I'm keeping my fingers crossed the TER staff get hungry and full of piss in that room and fix some of these issues...

All my reviews are published. It just sometimes takes a while before approval. Just follow the guidelines and be respectful.

My only complaint is that I have to fill the whole form even if there are previous reviews. As a guy who could whip up a similar site with few weeks effort there's a bunch of changes I'd like to see. It would be nice if people could vote on the reviews how helpful they were. Forums should be post moderated as sometimes it takes quite a while before your post is visible. Also the community can be used to flag inappropriate posts.

Never seen people so pissed about having fun, but I haven't ben around that long so I don't really know.I started hobbying at about 20yrs old I didn't discover ter til this past year at just shy of 30yrs old. Though I have much better expeirences with it than with out, didn't know people could be so cool. Every review I submit gets approved faster than the last.

Mr. J Monger

I don't see a problem here.  My reviews get posted in about 3 days I have had a couple rejected due to having personal info in them Like she obviously just had a kid but now I know better.  I just wish more of you would take the time to do reviews and yes I agree the form should be self loading on reviewed girls.


this site is a joke and the reviews that are posted on it are taken to be true works of fiction and the review's content is not to be trusted.

Others outside of this site know how the reviews are manipulated by the so called staff so no one believes or trusts what is written in them.

I have been a long time lurker on this site, kept quite for a long time and watched and learned. Yes I have seen some real bull shit, but overall I see this as a tool for us to use and communicate with others.  I have not been lead astray by a previous review so I don’t understand what your saying. None of my reviews have been altered.

for the most part still the best source for detailed reviews in my area. TER is a really useful tool. A local site is best for screening though.

Every girl I've seen since my return a few months ago has been as a result of reviews, mostly the ones here.  So far (knock wood), they've given me very good guidance.

...but I know why; because there was no adequate or uncoded link to their ad or web site.  It's a rule, I get it and have no problem with that.  With another review that was rejected, the reason was clearly stated, I edited it and it was approved in another day or so.  I don't dispute that others have had problems and perhaps the feedback on rejected reviews needs improving, but in my admittedly limited experience it hasn't been so bad.

I have to say I have had no problem with my reviews being approved. My first took less than 8 hours. One took slightly more than a week. I am waiting for approval of one now. It has been about 12 hours since I submitted it. I have mentioned elsewhere that one was altered by staff but was returned to it's original state after I questioned why the change. "They" really had no explanation, just a mistake.
  The one problem I did have was the staff created a new profile for a lady I reviewed. The problem? She already had more than 80 reviews and there had been no change in her situation and a new profile was not needed. Once I notified them they had it fixed within a couple of days.

but this time with no reason,  I have had 2 other rejected but they gave me a valid reason, fixed  them and they were posted.  This time was a write us and ask why.  so just waiting
