I do & feel it’s a valuable tool to utilize. I enjoy the ability to read all the juicy details on fantasy reviews. You can receive & reply to private messages. You can access the whitelist. I am interested in a poll of how many providers & hobbyists actually pay for VIP. I feel the numbers maybe low. I know that people who write 2 reviews get free VIP it’s a good incentive. Anything I’m missing? Smile for me! Xoxo

I may be off, (or just getting older and forget things, LOL) but I seem to recall paying for an annual membership when they run a deal, I think every so often?

You can write problem reports and receive free VIP that way. But I agree it is a valuable tool.

because I was putting my reviews on another website that was local to SoCal, but they closed, so I started reviewing here in 2015.  The review days have kept accumulating, so I will most likely still be a VIP when I'm dead because I will continue to review, but at a slower pace as I get older.  

I believe the numbers are low for providers who pay for VIP. I used to use p411 long ago as verification until a gentleman told me during a session that he uses his buddies P411 account to book dates. I know the majority of my dates, do not write reviews they only use TER to verify providers. How do we get a poll to see how many members pay for VIP?

Worth it for the reviews. Save a lot of time on who to avoid and who to see.

reflection of the membership as a whole because only those that participate on the boards are likely to see it, and there are even fewer posters than there are active reviewers.  

Nor can gentlemen Gift us VIP points. Two tried last month to no avail.  

I've paid for TER for 10+ years. Best money I spend on the hobby, as by seeing only ladies with many positive TER reviews I virtually eliminate the chance of getting busted, robbed, or worse. Doesn't always guarantee great service because chemistry plays a big factor, but I rarely walk into a session where the provider doesn't resemble the characteristics of her TER profile and where the listed services aren't provided.
.
I don't post as many reviews as others. Generally I only review where the experience was great or horrible, or where the provider hasn't been reviewed by anyone for a while.

It’s a valuable resource and I don’t hobby as much as I used to.  I chalk it up as entertainment.

It seems to  me that the ROI is getting steadily worse, so maybe not for much longer.

I ONLY get free days from "correcting errors" but I don't do "a lot of reviewing profiles."  I run across them when I'm searching the profiles for providers or looking at the ad boards or the Photo Board.  Fifteen Problem Reports = writing two reviews.  I can do 15 Problem Reports in less than 30 minutes.  How long does it take to write two reviews?  A helluva lot longer than 30 minutes.  

Presumably, the Real Guy (RG) owner of the P411 will stop lending his credentials when it has negative repercussions on his P411 account and personal activity. Did you give RG an OK even though you saw Fake Guy (FG)? Did you leave a negative message or warning? "RG loaned his account to FG who made the date and showed up. Do not trust RG's OKs because they might not be about him. Be careful."  
.
I mean, how did or how WOULD you deal with it in the future?  
.
If RG _and_ FG both provided generous and great companionship and if FG had kept his mouth shut, then RG's OKs and comments about him (the composite of RG and FG) would still be reliable and positive.  
.
IF there was some kind of problem and it got traced back to RG I'd bet that RG would roll on FG quickly. "Wait, wait!!!! Uncuff me!! It wasn't me. I have an alibi!! I loaned my P411 account to my buddy, FG. Here's his name and address."

I just rejoined and paid.  I only see sugar babies, but I enjoy the discussions with like minded people.

But not at this time. I don't hobby as much so m6 need is lesser.

The fact that the guys can still get credit here but the ladies can't speaks volumes thou.

In part just to keep TER in biz. Somebody has to pay the electric bill.

about you (and your sister)

Its worth it even after being out of the market for a while. Fake reviews can make TER worthless and I would love to see improvement in that area. For me I don't want to waste a opportunity on a overrated provider. Reviews help eliminate this.  

I've only paid a handful of times over 7 years and with gift cards. I get credit for reviews and problem reports here and there. Right now I have about 190 days VIP left,

a guy sharing his P411 account, the account is terminated. Problem solved.  

I pay.  The info is worth it.  

are a must for me.  They are the first two things I look for; if the provider doesn’t have both then I immediately move on.

What I don't understand is the additional time given to my membership, when I report issues with provider profiles and stuff like that.   I didn't pay for the longest time but I found I enjoyed reading the reviews too much and wasn't posting tons of reviews to earn membership.   So, I bit the bullet and coughed up the duckets.  

"Ducats."   Duckets are the chorus line in the musical playing down at the pond.  

I think you mean The Duckettes, with the accent on the second syllable (duck-ETTES, not DUCK-etz).

Little known facts: One Sesterce was worth two and a half Asses, while one Denarii was worth 10 Asses.

And "duckets" is an acceptable alternative as a result of common usage. Conan doesn't like this, but it is so.

I was dealt, so I used what he said rather than the proper "ducketts" as you have corrected.  

tokens?  If so, how do you get a half-ass?  Lol

Sometimes you make it too easy.

Say what you will about CDL, he's a full ass. A horse's ass even.

Since you asked.  I find TER to be worthwhile when I am vetting a new provider and since I seldom review, I have been a paying client for more than 20 years.  As a side note, I find that giving VIP days for reviews leads to some very suspect submissions that make it through a seemingly less than rigorous review process.  It takes a bit more effort sometimes to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Interesting!  I learned my "factoid" for the day!     So, I had never heard "ducats" before so I looked it up.  It seems to be a European "thing".    On a somewhat-but-no-so related front, I had a discussion with a companion about the "Sabbath".  I referred to it as being Sunday and she corrected me that it referred to "Saturday".  

It's true the original meaning of "Sabbath" was Saturday because the word is derived from the Hebrew word, "Shabbat." But Christians have for a couple of thousand years also called Sunday The Sabbath. So it really depends on who's talking.

So we just need another religion to declare either Friday or Monday as it's day of rest and we can get the 4 day work week and a 3 day weekend?

I pay and it’s well worth it. p411, too

I just wrote 2 reviews and now have VIP access.  Took me awhile, but I'm here.  Now, I need to find out how to get provider referrals.

Only rarely for a single month to research a specific topic.  Most of the reviews are total BS.

It's kind of a stamp of approval that you're okay.  Providers can decide on their own to whitelist you but usually the client asks to be whitelisted.  Often, providers won't whitelist you after only one visit.

I've never asked for a whitelist - didn't know anything about them when I started here and generally don't pay attention to them.

to a provider.  I tried doing that on another review site years ago and found that, in some cases, I got blowback from a provider who did not appreciate the level of honesty in my review.  Staying anonymous with providers allows me to write the good, the bad and the ugly about a session without worrying about reprisals or blacklisting from a provider who did not like my review.  It provides peace of mind.  Accordingly, I have only received one whitelisting, which was fake, and had it removed because I did not see the provider. If they don't know your handle, they cannot whitelist you.

So that’s why when I use you as a reference the bookers say “who?”  Fine friend you are! 🤣😂🤣

However, there are ways to give a ref without telling someone I'm CDL.  

Once you see a provider (with TER acct) ....
Simply ask her if she will "Whitelist" you. I have had TER account many years however, I just recently started to really explore and use it.  I only this year became aware of  "Whitelisting" & gave my first "Whitelist" to hobbiest that was kind enough to give me my first review since my return as a provider, my previous reviews here 2012-2015. And those were limited.
    My main/really only board I used for everything from ads, community, meet and greets and countless reviews is no longer.  I miss everyone and thing about that community.  Not sure what happened as when I retired 2014/15 it was still alive and well I come back 2022 and it's gone.
