I'm looking at the Ad Board and there are a number of providers advertising, but with no reviews. I don't think they should be able to advertise if there are no reviews on TER. Also, if a provider is delisted can she still post on the message board?
Welcome thoughts on this.
A girl has no real control over whether she gets reviewed. Especially these days. Why should she be penalized? Also, considering the shape TER is in these days, it needs more people advertising, not fewer.
That said, I can't imagine booking with a girl who had no reviews unless she was recommended by a friend who'd seen her.
I’m a perfect example of someone on the board with “no reviews” but that is by choice which I have explained various different times. I’d rather pay for a membership vs people knowing my business in who I see and what I spend as well as the couple times I tried to review in my younger days, according to TER I couldn’t get “graphic” enough nor “detailed” and had me rewrite it several times until the point of just giving up. So I would rather just pay for the membership and move along and enjoy the site.
My point is... If they are getting to post and advertise for free then I disagree but, if they are paying for the membership and not letting people review them then they should have every right to use the site anyway they want.
Should this site lean more towards the hobbyist? I think so as providers have their “provider only review” sites that describes to other providers the pros and cons about us which we call blacklist sites that we have zero control over and they can write whatever they want on that without being fact proofed.
Point is TER can run this site anyway they want to do it’s not up to us is up to TER and whatever integrity guidelines did they enforce and they believing them.
But what do I know?
Just my .02

If a provider has a "no review" policy they cannot be listed on TER. If they are a provider member and just happen to have no reviews, that's OK so long is they permit themselves to be reviewed. This is a review site, after all.
Whether you choose to review or not is an entirely different matter, of course.
She would have to back that up by asking TER not to run any reviews of her.
For example, I know one provider who requests that people not review her on TER, but she has reviews up anyway, and seems either unaware of the fact, or doesn't want to have to contact TER herself to take them down.
If she has a written "no review" policy on her site AND TER becomes aware of it, that alone is enough for her to be de-listed and for her to no longer be able to take advantage of TER's free advertisements
I would suspect that your provider friend either does not have a written "no review" policy on her website/ads, or that TER simply has not been made aware of it.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
If she simply tells people not to review her, that means nothing. If she has it written anywhere on her website or an ad, then a problem report from any TER member, with a link to that info, will automatically get her delisted.
What better way for a provider to actually GET reviews than by advertising on a TER board/s?
Unless a provider has a "no review" policy, in which case there are already rules in place prohibiting her from getting any benefits from TER, it's not her fault if no one has reviewed her yet. She should be ENCOURAGED to post ads here, not prohibited from doing so.
TER has many faults, but I think you are addressing a problem that simply doesn't exist,
If a provider doesn’t have TER reviews yet, what better way to generate business with reviewers than to advertise on TER?
If you don’t want to be a TOFFT reviewer, than pass on booking them and wait for others to make the plunge!
Well, that is the problem with so few quality providers. I've found that increasingly if there is a hot and good provider, guys don't write reviews. There is such a scarcity of young good looking and good service, that you're getting a hoarding mentality. Also, the "if I'm spending that much money, other guys can go figure it out on their own and not on my dime" attitude. I can't say I blame folks for it. It is a downward spiral. I will sometimes try out an agency girl who has zero reviews over a two week period. Often, she is above average and a good value. Once one review is written, though, then the flood gates open for more reviews, because the secret is out.
You are correct CKS, if she is new and wants reviews that makes sense. But then it should go like the new girl Nomi at tyson-girls.com I give her props for taking crap from us, me included. But persevering and establishing herself as a provider - with reviews.

Yes this is head scratching, but google still works well with a name or number typed in. I see a few of these ads up, and some ladies have TER linked to their P411, while others don't, to each his own but with the prices these women are charging I am past the TOFTT approach. There are new mongers that stumble upon TER all the time that quite simply don't know any better, and these women prey on them, just my opinion. Idk when TER became the villain in all this, but my outlook on it is if you're charging a service and there is an avenue to which I can get an idea of how good or bad that service is before forking over my hard earned money then I want to read about it. Back in the BP days I could afford to TOFTT, at $100 if the service sucked then it's "oh well, that didn't go well" and move on, when the coin gets up around or past $300 I'm not taking those chances.
Some of it comes down to ego IMO, some ladies simply grabbed their ball and went home because they didn't get a 10/10 and that hurt their ranking. But one hand lathers the other in a hobby where those rankings are used to up their pricing. The hobby has always been slanted toward the provider, but the few things us mongers can control is helping each other out, and sometimes that includes a recommended review or a heads up to spend your money somewhere else.
That a lot of these girls not only have zero reviews, have zero care about getting reviewed and I guess the new going rate is anywhere between $600-800 per hour but I’m also finding the they aren’t PSE nor even GFE. I’m talking about the new generation of girls out there between ages 23-30ish with the Kim Kardashian asses and if you follow them on Instagram or snap they have pimps now. Give me the 45+y.o. And I’m so good with them.
