How does someone get to be verified on TER, but they have never seen to their knowledge a TER member?

I am sure that there are literally thousands of "TER reviewed providers" who had no idea that they had been reviewed when their profiles were first created.

Anyone who's seen you can start a profile for you and leave a review on said profile.

Ok so I guess my question is how do I get to post on here? I'm new to TER and I'm confused on how this site works

You can already post on here, like you are.  

at the top of it is a link to a self-help guide that you should find very helpful.

You can't just fill out a profile for yourself. It needs to come from a reviewer.  
You can however post on your local ad board that you're new to TER and hope someone books an appointment and then submits a review.  Some providers even offer discounts for posting a review.  

had a great time with you, or better yet, he has returned for a second visit, there is nothing wrong with asking him to write a review for you on TER.  I've had several ladies ask me in the past.  I just wait several weeks so they don't connect the real me to CDL from the contents of the review.   Not everyone in this game is on TER, but a few years ago,  over 100,000 members might be logged on at any given time, so changes are, a lot of the men you see know about TER even if that's not how they found you.

I'll write reviews on request, but I won't necessarily see someone who wants a review -- usually because their price point is too high.  That puts me in the position of paying top dollar for an un-reviewed person.  The reviews I have written have mostly been for established pros.  They didn't request the reviews either.  I've mostly gotten out of writing reviews because they basically just reiterate the previous reviews.    That's why I am mostly open to reviews of newbies, but on the other hand, not willing to pay top dollar to unknowns.  So I really haven't written any reviews in a while (not just because TER was sidelined.)  Although I do have a review coming up -- first time in two years I think.  Just working on it now.

And a quick way to get banned.

Your questions were answered there by xyz and Debra Hollander. Did you ever go back and read the responses on that thread? The newbie board is the place for these kinds of questions anyway. While people here have given you good responses, that doesn’t always happen on the general board.

I'm sry my question has bothered you. Since you seem like an admin, you can delete it. As I said, I'm new here. So pardon me for posting in the wrong place. Maybe sometime we can get together, ya know, so your can fill me in on how perfect you are 😘

Your question didn’t bother me at all. I can’t delete your post and I wouldn’t if I could. I know you are new. I was trying to help you. I wasn’t scolding you. I am also not an admin, but I am the host of the newbie board. I was just letting you know that the newbie board is a better place to ask newbie questions, than the general discussion board.

Unless someone else uses the same name.  
If it is your, contact TER and ask them to link it to your username. Then every time you post, the direct link to your reviews will be under your name.  Also you will have the limited provider VIP which will give you access to the juicy details of your own reviews and access to The PM system.

can get banned.   Haven't met a hooker yet that was worth getting banned over.

Anybody know a good tattoo removal parlor?

a little tightly wound?  Lol

TLDR, but did any of these posts actually come from Admin? maybe the policy changed, maybe admin looked th eother way, but there was a time as recently as 2018 when it was not uncommon to offer review specials on the Ad boards.

I has been discussed often. It was generaly accepted that TER didn't allow it.  Once I asked admin and was told a discount for a review was OK but it was not OK to give discounts for a good review. Then of course the discussion took off on well it isn't a good idea good or bad, too easy to abuse, yada, yada, yada. I'm currently looking for the spot on TER where I read the statement about not giving discounts for a good review.

Scroll down to nearly the end of the page of the ReviewFAQ's to number 13. It uses the term "good review". I believe this is where I saw this during the discussion from years ago. It looks like the wording in this section has been changed now but the "good review" term is still there. I seem to recall other admin disagreeing with the admin I mentioned in my above post.

Your advice, and recollection is actually spot on. Please remember everyone that TER has written and unwritten rules, unwritten rules are often just the way TER interprets and enforces the written rules.

Here’s a thread from the newbie board from 2017 about this topic. This is probably the one you were talking about. Admin chimed in twice in this thread, and made it clear thatvdisvoubt for reviews was not allowed.

I had no idea that was the case.
