Could someone weigh in on this:

I saw a provider today that I was amazed by.  I want to share this with the group.  Normally I'm not one to write reviews and have only very recently changed my stance on this.  Therefore I do not have the required 5 reviews to post a mini per the rules.

I will certainly write a full review for this lady.  But that doesnt help the community take advantage of time with her while she is in town unless you happen to look her up randomly in the next few days and see the review.

So what is the best way to handle it?  Just sit on this gem until I put 5 reviews up?  If so, I can do that, but it feels a bit unhelpful to other hobbyists.

Per TER posting guidelines, reviews of any type are not allowed on discussion boards, because their proper place is in the review database.  However, the use of mini-reviews is warranted by the need and desire of hobbyists to share review information on visiting providers whose local availability may have ended by the time a formal review is submitted and approved. Based on those conditions, mini-reviews are allowed on the discussion board, provided they meet the guidelines below.

Mini-Reviews may not be posted on local providers, regardless of whether they have TER reviews or not.  Local providers will still be here next week, so no sense of urgency exists on sharing review information.

Mini-Reviews may only be posted on visiting providers with 3 or fewer TER Reviews.  If a provider already has 4 or more TER Reviews, a Mini-Review is not needed -- look up the existing TER Reviews in the database.

Mini-Reviews may only be posted on visiting providers with 4 or more TER Reviews if none of the TER Reviews were posted within the past 3 months.
 
Mini-Reviews may only be posted by established TER members with 5 or more existing TER Reviews.
 
Mini-Reviews may only be posted using your TER reviewer username - aliases may not be used.
 
Only one Mini-Review thread per visiting lady is allowed.  Additional Mini-Reviews by other members may be added to the original Mini-Review post.
 
The Subject line of a Mini-Review post should be structured as follows:

Mini - [ProviderName of AgencyName/CityOfOrigin]

examples:

Mini - Wicked Witch of TinMan Companions

Mini - Dorothy of Oz


The Message body of the Mini-Review post may only include the following info:
 
Recommended:  yes/no/ymmv

Rating:  may range from 1/1 to 10/10 (appearance/performance)

GFE:  yes/no/ymmv, or may use the GFE+++ scale

Services:  list acronyms/terms of offered services only

Rates:  rate/time of your encounter

Incall:  yes/no - if yes, list general geographical area

Outcall:  yes/no/unknown

Photos:  accurate/glamour/old/B&S


A link to the provider's current web site or escort mall ad must be included in 'link URL' box.


Providing a photo link in the 'picture URL' box is acceptable.


Additional text is acceptable but it may not have as many details as a formal review.

Mini-Reviews not meeting the format requirements will be removed or modified.

Mini-Reviews must be followed by submission of a full, formal TER review to the TER review database within 72 hours. Violators of this policy will lose their message posting privileges.

In fact I said "while shes in town" which should have indicated the opposite to you.  And I also indicated that I was aware of the "I dont have req'd 5 reviews" thing which is something that only someone that had read the rules would know, so posting the rules to me is redundant, it is perfectly clear Im aware of them and have a question that I feel needs clarity.

My question stands.

You should know that your options are to write a full review and wait for it to post. Btw which will put you one more closer to the 5 you need to be eligible to write a mini.  Otherwise you have no options.  
Opinions as to options from others here will be of no value to you. The rules are clear.
If you need further clarification feel free to pm me or HBS1.

I don't know if you can get away with it now.

You would start a thread asking which providers your fellow hobbyists have seen recently. Someone would ask, "Why don't you go first?"

Another option is to wait for someone asking for a recommendation.

By the way, on the Maryland board, the mod sometimes starts a "provider of the week" thread.
