This is just my opinion. Beacuse reviews are guaranteed to take more than 72 hours to get approved, do not post a Mini until you've submitted a full review.

Even then, you're not safe. We're losing mini-review privedges left and right because guys are being too careless with the forum rules.

I would hate for anyone else to lose this privedge because it hurts the rest of us.

Mini-reviews MUST be followed within 72 hours by the posting of a full review.

Since the moderators do not have insight into the review process, we have begun requiring that the review be approved before allowing another mini-review by a poster.  It is the only way that we can make sure that the rules are followed as they should be.

For example, if Joe posts a mini-review on Dec 1, he must follow-up and submit his full review by Dec 3.  Let's assume that his review is then approved on Dec 15. He may NOT post another mini-review between the dates of Dec 1 and Dec. 15.

Seems simple enough but it's not. If a review is rejected for whatever reason the member will not be allowed to write another mini.

Mini's have been for the benefit of members and ladies to take advantage of information being made available immediately.

But it is for those who are visiting and often the ladies ads are time sensitive. All reviews are now taking 72hrs or longer.

By the time they reach those who validate the information the ads may have expired/removed and the review is rejected.

It would be nice if a screen capture from a members account manager would be accepted as proof of a review being submitted.

Write the review and submit it. Then capture your screen view and show it in your mini.

I don't see a real solution to this and personally it makes no difference to me since I don't write mini's.

Anytime someone wants to know about any provider visiting or not they can post a 411 and wait for a reply.

At least the post's aren't taking 72hrs to process, yet.

would it make sense to write the full review first? wait for it to become approved, then write the mini just to inform everybody that it's up?  I don't see any hurt in that.

that might defeat the purpose of the mini.  Mini-reviews are only valid for visiting providers that are currently in town.

I posted a review back the beginning of this year for my ATF (Amber Reese).  I saw her right before she retired.  By the time my review was looked at, her webpage had been pulled and my review was rejected.  I didn't say anthing at the time because I was hopefull she would reapear and I could see her again and write a review.  About a month ago, I gave up on her reappearing and wrote to TER asking for them to consider allowing my review.  Afterall it was a real review posted within the TER time constraints.  Keep in mind that I'm a paying TER member, so I had nothing to gain but the fact that I had my ATF review in my history.  TER denied my request stating the review was out of the TER time constraints now and that all reviews have to have a valid website.  What a crock............  I'm all for following the rules, but as a paying customer, I would have thought I would have gotten a little common sense consideration.  Oh wellllllllllll, nothing I can do but accept............
