You mean like the escort industry's secret blacklists they harbor against clients who find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time -- i.e. daring to ask carefully worded polite questions to an SP who is in a bad mood and would rather heap verbal abuse than politely answer or request you call later.
Yes, that does happen -- but I think most escorts (if they even bother to read a 'bad clients list') tend to take it with a grain of salt and with the incentive of wanting to give the customer the benefit of the doubt.

At least TERB is in a public forum and you can see what is being said about you.
I always recommend to escorts that perhaps it's better if they don't look, don't know.
After all, there's little you can do about a subjective view -- no matter what you try to do, there will be a criticism of it. So maybe it's better just not to look, not to know, not to respond.
In the event that the review is less-than-favourable, perhaps it will cause some people to avoid a particular escort -- but all any escort can do is her best, one appointment at a time. If she does this, she'll get valuable repeat business. And those who perhaps didn't choose to see her over some subjective review take their chances. They might be winners, they might be losers -- but in any event, they put their fate in someone else's hands. (... which basically makes them sheep.)

I dont think the secret black list provides the same courtesy.
"Black lists" aren't secret to keep bad clients from responding -- they're secret because escorts require a level of information that isn't usually publicly advertised to avoid bad clients -- phone numbers, addresses, verified names, e-mail addresses, IPs, etc. This isn't done secretly to disadvantage bad clients -- but rather to protect those who might be unfairly labelled as bad clients from having their personal information spread all over the internet and their discretion violated.
Would you rather that bad client lists be posted publicly? When escorts are reviewed, the contact information provided on them is already publicly advertised. This is no the case for customers -- and most customers expect us to keep this info confidential. So that's why bad client lists are available to known escorts only.

If the client comes forward and identifies himself to you after complaining publicly then how easily will he be able to book with someone else next time?
Do you really think that escorts are so stupid as to allow other escorts as to tell them who to see?
If customers are this silly, that's their problem. But I think most escorts are more familiar with the term "subjectivity," and more willing to give a gentleman the benefit of the doubt.

If noone else shares his experience or complaint, then I am sure you will not see any further reviews of the like. If you do then you will need to make some adjustments to your brand of service. Complainers are not going tocome forward and identify themselves publicly or even privately for fear of reprisal or refusal of service.
But why not? What does a customer who points out a problem with an escort providing bad service have to fear from any escort attempting to provide good service?
Your comment implies that all escorts aspire to get away with bad service -- and so we'd all hold it against someone who objected to receiving bad service. Sorry, but that's not the case at all. But at the same time, most good escorts have suffered as much at the hands of customers who have knowingly paid for bad service (such as someone who misrepresented herself in her advertising), as we have from bad customers.
We can try to be good escorts -- but for your part, we need you to try to be good customers too. If you walk into a situation that is not as advertised, where there is a bait-&-switch, or whatever, then rather than give a bad review in retrospect, what we really need from you is for you to act as good consumers. Just say no! Turn on your heel and walk out.
But to go through with it -- reward our cheating competition -- and then post a cowardly review months later really doesn't help us at all.
Rather than punishing bad escorts, you need to start thinking in terms of rewarding good ones.
