Anyone know exactly how the TER score is derived?  Usually the overall score is higher than the two base scores.  How does that work?  

But I think 4-5 years ago or so TER added in "chemistry" and "incall location" to the equation but I am honestly not 100% sure. I was fine with the old method. I am not sure what positive change brought to the table but maybe someone here who knows better might chime in.

are potential score enhancements that speak to the overall experience, but do not carry anywhere near the weight of Looks and Service.  A good score can only move the needle in fractions of a point.  For example, an 8/8 can move to an 8.1 or 8.2 for averaging purposes, but I'm not sure how the enhancements are factored in because they're based on 1 to 5 "stars" and not numbers like Looks and service.  

My score barely improves when I get a review it will go up a very tiny bit, like 0.01

As much as we want a completely objective scoring system, even TER has some bias cooked into their score models.  

The more reviews you have, the lesser the impact of each new review will be on your average.  For example, if you have one review that is a 10, and your second one is an 8, your average will appear as 9.0, plus a small adjustment for the "stars" you received.   If you have 3 reviews that are 10's and then your 4th is an 8, your average before the enhancements will be 9.5.   If you have 20 reviews that are 10s and your next one is an 8, your pre-enhancement average will be 9.9.  You can see from this that the more reviews you have, the less each succeeding review will impact the overall average.

I personally feel it would be a better idea for TER to implement a system of  moving averages. Like Lyft does for its drivers.  It shouldn't matter that much that a provider got 5 or 6 in 2016 when she first started because she was very new to the business. If she is doing well now, that should count more in establishing her reputation   Maybe last 6 months or 50 reviews whichever is greater would be a good way to score.   For those of us who have been in the industry for a while, either as mongers or providers, we know how things can change on a dime.

There’s one major factor that’s left out of ratings. Subjectivity  
Perhaps since the start of Woke culture anyone can be rated a 10 in looks. That unfortunately is objectively false. Allow me to elaborate.
Two women are walking down the street on the left we have a 30 year old with long flowing flaxen hair, a face like an angel, no need for makeup. She’s 5’7”, and has been doing Pilates for years and has lovely natural b-cups and a round beautiful behind. On the right we have a 55 year old her face shows, naturally, signs of aging including those wrinkles around her lips from smoking and makeup slathered on in attempt to cover those hard years.  5’3 and weights about 140lbs and perhaps she likes bread too much . And though she has a smaller torso she’s embellished it with 2 massive MM’s maybe DD or DDD cups that are harder than my dick if I got to see the beauty on the left naked.  Her lower half balloons out where she carries most of her weight except ironically (i’m the first person to use that word correctly in the history of TER) is flat as a pancake.
Now here we have two ladies that are polar opposites yet both can get a 10 in looks. I say BULLSHIT.  
However this is the reality since living in LA I see daily 300 pound women wearing hot pants and a bra top.

Are you under 40 years old?

I am under 40

I wonder if there's a Totie Fields Medal?

to give more weight to recent reviews, and the trending over time will tell us if she is getting better with time or possibly burning out near the end of her career.  You should put that on the suggestion board where admin will see it.

Being a SoCal guy like you, I have had the same experiences.  Curiously, I have found as I get older that I'm more tolerant of providers who are not perfect in the "looks" department, but still provide awesome service.  It happens slowly and subtly so you don't really notice it.  You roll over one day and realize the pretty, slender but not-perfect 40-year-old you just fucked is attractive to you, where you wouldn't have given her a second look when you were under 30.  OR, . . . . it might just be the endorphins from just having had sex.  Lol

I've heard in a while on TER. Though, I don't think it's a new suggestion. But it would be nice, and largely a pretty simple coding change I suspect.

There shouldn't be a way to game a system into producing more favorable outcomes, and also there shouldnt be a way to artificially weigh any review less than any other review.  

Sellers should focus on quality of product or service they're selling, over the rating or number theyre receiving.

telling a restaurant owner not to pay attention to his Yelp reviews.  A new provider should become a TER VIP (and I believe QB will back me up on this) and read reviews of other ladies to understand the correlation between menu, performance and connection/chemistry, and how that impacts the resulting reviews.  They should read the narrative and look for keywords that give an indication of how the reviewer arrived at the score he/she gave.  

Looks and performance 1-10 we know. Apply numeric value to the stars..... Total all 4 numbers and divide by 3 (NOT 4). That's the score per review. Then simply do the mean average for the ladies total score.  

Sellers should be keenly aware of what the public thinks of them, and one way to do that would be fully understanding any scoring system of their product or service. You need to walk this one back as it makes zero sense.

Caring about public perception more about the product quality itself and treating customers right, eventually spirals into guarding, curating or manipulating public perception. Including attempts to shut down negative voices (happens all the time at a certain provider-oriented website you happen to like). And the company/seller is more interested in keeping it's image than creating better product or rewarding their customers.  

This is what you said:
.
"As a seller you don't need to know anything about scoring systems, Bia."
.
Now if you want to say you didn't mean that exactly, fair enough, then say that. But that statement of yours I quoted is ridiculous on its face. There isn't an owner or manager in the U.S. worth their salt that would think that. Knowing how a scoring system works would allow the service to better cater to the needs of their clients, something you tell us constantly you really care so much about.  
.
Ironically, If you stick with the quote above, you would then be arguing against the consumer's best interests.

Of course they want to. Most sellers would love to know certain algorithms. Hell just in the other thread sellers were penly talking about Google algorithm and SEOs. Which essentially means how to game a system to be in top results. Everyone wants to be in the top results on a platform..  
Does it help the buyer? No not really.
