I came across a very appealing profile.  She has a full menu and well priced for my area.  And, featured a handful of very high review scores.  Looking at her reviewers, they all had numerous (10+) reviews.

 
Upon further investigation though, I find that ALL of the reviews (hers and other providers) by ALL of her clients were 9s and 10s (occasionally an 8).  And, all of them (ALL of the reviews, for ALL of the reviewers) have been since March of this year.  So, a new provider, who had only ever been visited by clients new to TER.  What are the odds?

 
Please be VERY weary of TGTBT.  I have reported the profile.  I'll share the profile link here if TER agrees with my suspicions.  

 
TER needs to develop a better algorithm to identify these patterns.  Or, risk the platform losing integrity.

One: Without a name, you’re just talking out of your arse.
   
Two: We see what slips through the gaps, not what they’ve already nabbed.

One:  Agreed.  Without the link I COULD be talking out of my ass.  I'm not.  But, until you can see for yourself, it is possible.  But, I'm not going to publicly accuse someone without some confirmation.

Two:  I thought us reporting them was one of the mechanisms in place to help nab them.

Fake reviews cost guys lots of extra research time because we have to verify across other platforms.  AI probably will become a serious problem. On the other hand some very smart AI group could easily wipe TER, Eccie and others off the internet with a verified review platform. Done correctly I could see it growing quickly to a national leader and then for the world. Someone could get very rich very quickly.

The issue with reviews is that they're generally easy to fake and you cannot really verify whether the appt took place or not.  

Sure you may train AI to filter out egregious copy pastes or obvious Ai-generated reviews, but nothing stops bad actors like review farms from writing fake reviews in their own style and selling them.

Or some guy who really likes provider enough to make ten new accounts and review her from all ten pretending to be a different guy, exaggerating her in all ten.  

 
These are pretty unsolvable problems. Because to verify you'd need to have some kind of evidence of appt taking place and i don't even know how you'd verify the review being truthful in sexual details. Unless you videotaped everything, it's tough  

 
Im not talking about scammers, more like fake review issues.

I just ignore it ;)

 
But I am always wary of TGTBT. Oddly, it does seem enough here fall into the trap (little head doing the thinking and confusing a fantasy with reality and not wanting to check) so you warning is merited.

 
While I think TER can do a lot to improve I'm not sure just how much we should expect TER to do the type of due diligence each of us should be doing. It's often not possible for TER and outsourcing one's common sense is just seems a bad idea to me.

 
I suspect many would just be happy if they could publish reviews faster and let the users here decide on the value of any given review for their use.

Would help to know who?  Also would not hurt to see if any of her reviewers are active on the boards.

I suspect a more than a few of the reviews on here are fake. You have to really check into the reviewer. I dont trust newer reviewers. If they only have one review to their name i take it as fake.  

If the review is by a reviewer that has numerous reviews, especially ones for gals ive seen and have had similar experiences as i have, i will trust that review and book the gal.  

This site is as good as it gets. Ive been on here for a quarter of a decade and ive seen a ton of other review sites come and go. This one has stayed for a reason.  

Unpopular opinion: if you think this site is broken or needs to be "fixed', its on your lack of research, not the site itself.

I think this is a bad take. Yes, the site is best for reviews but it doesn't mean some things couldn't or shouldn't be fixed.

 
As an example let's talk simple copy/paste protection.  

A bad review site I used to be on had plagiarism check, I remember if you attempted to enter text that was similar to another review, it would reject that review saying there is already a similar review.

 
TER has no such protection. I've seen people give two reviews where they just copy pasted the body and changed girls name for two different girls.

I don't think anyone could realistically expect a user if a reviewer has 100+ reviews to go through each one of them and also realize they are copy pastes of each other.

Even worse what if the reviewer is less lazy and copies someone's else's generic review but just replaces the girl name?

Very unfair to put the burden on the user rather than the site. If ter gave us the ability to full text search "juicy details" then the user could at least search the body of a sus review. As is, user has no way to find copypasted reviews unless they scrape them to their own database and perform searches on them. Which is beyond 99.99% users scope and ability and time.

I always read through reviews of anyone I'm thinking about meeting.  More than once I found what you did, and it was a huge red flag.   I also found a few reviews that were almost exact copies by "different" reviewers and reported them to have TER remove them.

I always wait to see new some experienced reviewers put up something for a new girl before I take a chance.  Just good practice to not be disappointed or worse.

There's no expectation that TER is going to delete reviews based solely on the result of some algorithm.  

 
But, its not difficult to develop (or buy, or find) an algorithm, feed it the common characteristics of fake reviews (content, frequency, reviewer history ,etc.) and let it read and compare reviews, look for trends and 'score' the reviews (e.g. "87% likely a fake").  And then take the highest scoring (most flagrant) reviews and reach out to the subjects related to the review to verify the meeting.

 
If fake reviewers started to be called out, they'd be less emboldened to repeat the practice.  And, TER would retain it's reputation of being a legitimate place for high quality reviews.  Which, I assume, is what they are striving for.

Appreciate the shout out.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about, that is blatant as hell and can be viewed without vip

Read the general details.

Same girl, reviews only a month or so apart. It's not a straight copy paste but look closely.... and it should be clear to anyone with half a brain that they have a better chance of winning ten powerballs in a row than a chance of spontaneously writing the same exact thing in barely different words.  

 

Of course, people who don't like me being critical or negative will shift the blame to me, as usual, for not reporting this.
