Thanks to the open policy of this board, where you can write whatever you want, it has done itself in.   Sure you can write whatever you want - just try it!!! Good luck.

What am I talking about?  The bullshit mini's where the grade of a 7 is a bad grade.  The range here is 7 through 10.  Forget 1-6, never used.  Why?  If you do use a 7 (or lower) you will not get to see anyone from that agency again.  

So the real mini's are now gone.  Those that would write them keep them to themselves.  There is no real information on this board anymore, just mindless scheduling info and a few pics thrown about, even some without photoshop.

But wait - there is a way -- THE BACKCHANNEL!!! (feel sorry for those that are limited to the public board).

nite, nite.

Review system has gotten to the point where we must learn how to weed out the bull shit inflated scores.

Indeed, leaving a review less than a 7 sometimes gets you banned from that agency.

Lets not even get into what some of these agencies might do in retaliation if you walk out on one of such girls.

I stay with well reviewed independent women. That way I am not dealing with a pimp or a Madame, but the girl directly.

I agree. Stay with the well reviewed independents. Also, learn who the shills are on this Board. They are easy to spot as they write a mini everytime a new girls starts at an agency. Lastly, look at the reviewers history. When every encounter is glowing, probably not a reviewer to be counted on.

I want to contribute to the community.  Sometimes these ladies are here for such a short time and the long version of the review does not post in time.  We aren't shills if we write a mini review we just want "you" to know someone has seen them and it was good or bad.  NOTHING MORE!

I pretty much agree with what you say.  Yes, you will find certain reviews that tend to stick with certain agencies and are often the "first" to see a new lady and seem to be amazingly lucky and have nothing but stellar experiences.  Most hobbyist with any savy learn to discount those reports.   But not everyone with a string of glowing reviews should be distrusted.  Uhhh , like ME for example...LOL.   I suspect most my reviews for the last couple years are 8, 9 & 10s.  Not because I am so generous but because I am very selective as to whom I see.  Most ladies I hook up with already have a long history of great reviews.  And I kinda stick with my "types".  I know you were refering to others and I'm not meaning to be defensive here.  But the point should be made there are quite a few hobbyist out there that can be trusted and you can pretty much count on anyone they see as solid gold.   I've tried to learn who they are in every city I frequent.  Often before I do a review search I'll simply check out their review history and start there.  Always works well and it has been a hell of a long time since I've had a disapointing encounter.   And when I have a good time I am more than happy to pass on that info to other hobbyist.  Kinda the point of the boards I think.

All good points, but in my case maybe I have been lucky in my choices, carefully made.  I have written many favorable but only one unfavorable review.  But I don't write a review after every encounter -- only if exceptionally good, exceptionally bad, or on a new unreviewed provider, or if I have something perhaps a bit different to add.  Many reviews read as though they were all written by the same person.

For the last few years, I only see, and stay with, well-reviewed ladies and those I met at social events (but that's not possible now). I also don't trust the minis by themselves; I research the reviewers' other reviews to see if they tend to shill or inflate their scores. As for the scoring system, I treat it as school grades, 70% is average and I think that's what most reviewers treat it as well.

By the way, last week I saw an independent provider with glowing reviews. I gave her a 6/3 adn looged it as one of my disasters. Her Eros ad is down so I will resubmit it when she's back.

That allow occasional hobbyists like me to make well informed decisions on seeing providers. I'm not sure I have ever given a rating of looks/performance below a 7, which is not because I shill. I read through review after review and go back channel to make sure I am getting my moneys worth.

Pretty simple concept, right? You really cannot group guys that give great rating consistently as shills...

I wrote reviews and minis, not to earn vip status, but to keep a good memory for myself, since I also collect all the pictures from either provider's and agency's web site attached with the reviews.
So, I only post average to great reviews, rarely post anything less than 7, threw away all the bad experiences. When I go back to look at my personal archive, to read my own reviews/pic. I will always remember those good time spent with each wonderful lady.

ps. I don't have access to BACKCHANNEL.        Sucks!

there was a day that those who wrote Mini reviews were honest about their encounter,these days 90% of the Mini write ups are BS.

Here is how I spot the BS mini

1. Has the writer contributed to the discussion board or just keeps on writing Mini and not much else?

2. Does the writer get a bit offended when he sees a post like this one and writes something like "good.. more for me .."

3. Does the writer ONLY writes reviews for agency girls or also writes for indy girls who travel here.

the ones that are really funny are the Mini on BP girls who everyone might think they are indy, but yet we all know that they are not.

don't forget if she is under 21, she CANNOT book a hotel room by herself! .. so someone else has booked the room for her and WAS there when she checked in!.

now this is NOT the fault of TER or MODs here, there is NO WAY in hell they would know what you and I know, but it is what it is..

Is that mini reviewers put some personal observations in there other than just bbbj 8/8...which many guys do.Was she shy? Good kisser? Confident? Those little details are so important. I have gotten somewhat useful info from minis, mostly on agency girls.

One thing I find particularly telling in photos is posture/body position. I avoid ladies that look awkward posing. No agency girl writes a bio and the faces are blurred and to top it off all the pics are photoshopped so the posture is really my only clue, but it has served me well.

It is a place where veteran mongers gossip about other people, men and women.
Then, under duress, they rat out one another.
Also, some share comments with providers--- comments which were meant to be private.

It is heavily populated by previous frequent posters and Reviewers from TER who have "disappeared" from TER for the most part.

There have been two occaisions when I saw girls who hadn't had any reviews posted at the time but I went ahead on the basis of mini-reviews. These mini were posted by a consistant contributor on the board and review section. I don't deny that agencies or independent don't game the system but it is on the member to judge the validity. My tests are the number of reviews posted and the correlation of that individual's rating with subsequent reviews.

. . . to identify reliable reviewers. I got burned many times by acting on recommendations of prolific reviewers; some of them are not very discriminating when it comes to women. It would be best if one could identify reviewers with similar tastes and follow their recommendations.

i have stopped writing review. i only see well reviewed ladies. and trust only about a dozen others on this board, sorry but being honest. i was with a great lady last night and talk about reviews and like alot of other girls they dont like the the play by play reviews.but always remember with all the ladies ymmv.

If you have back channel info do you even consider the minis seriously?
