Why does it matter whether or not sellers want or need reviews?
If I paid money for something, I will talk about it and evaluate it on the internet. One place or another. I want others to know about my experience. This is why I disagree with TER allowing delisting. Imo all reviews should stay there on full display, forever unless proven fake or dishonest.
Yep, I reported it and even messaged the account that submitted the review. I know it’s fake because it mentions something I never do, and I know exactly who sees me and who reviews me. It’s not like I have such a high volume that I wouldn’t remember.
I also reported it to TER. It’s concerning because guys check my profile, see these fake reviews, and then these accounts start reviewing well-known providers, eventually reviewing cops or scammers, leading guys to book with fake people. It’s a mess.
This is the whole reason why TER isn't worth the price they ask for to become a VIP, way to many fake reviews and even the ones that are "real" about 1/2 or 2/3 are over exaggerated (verified be 3 providers I have seen willing to tell the truth). plus after visiting with someone from overseas over a 2 years ago (and treating her like a lady) she invited me to a forum (and yes she had to vouch for me in order to even join) that is for providers to talk and fake reviews is a big reason many providers don't want/need them.
Having empathy as a human is essential. You have never put yourself in anyone’s position when considering the fun facts of life. Privacy is a major concern. Many providers move on, get a career, get married, have children. Health issues in this industry is a silent killer. Not everyone wants to share their exit. It’s a personal choice. Respect. Why would they want anything tied to this lifestyle one they decided to move forward?
* I speak from experience. I had myself delisted & returned by choice. I was disappointed when my top rated duo reviews were delisted, but my better half damn sure has great reasons. Sympathy ❤️🩹 for humans is rare & empathy is something everyone needs more of right now.
I just don't see the extent of repercussions here. If you retire from the game, there will be still reviews and posts about you on the internet. They may be on different sites but they will be there. You can't just scrub the internet. If they know your stage name they will find it.
What does happen is when provider delists and then comes back under another name with no old reviews. Now even if mongers identify the provider as a rebrand those old reviews are gone. This is a little loophole some do use. And I think it's this is not good.
As far as empathy, maybe. I have seen your form of empathy, though, when you didn't hesitate to call out a clients looks (out of all things) publicly after he corrected your statement about his experience. Yeah I don't really want anything to do with that kind of "empathy" or "integrity" or privacy concerns here. Sorry.
I’m really sorry that TER rewards these people instead of holding them accountable. They should have to pay the provider a fine, or give us free VIP days for reporting fake reviews. I know they’re all supposed to be fantasy reviews, but being on in this community 20 years I care about who’s using me without compensation.
I don’t have lots of reviews because I don’t see a lot of people. People think we don’t care 🤷🏽♀️, or aren’t smart enough to recall it’s disrespectful. What happens to the people who post fake reviews that get called out? What’s the consequences?
