Also, some reviews should be disapproved on the basis of being too short and not useful to anyone who is thinking of seeing that particular provider.

Can't agree here... toooo many fake reviews and posting for best would not be very objective - the mods have enough to handle let alone try to decide from hundreds of reviews each month, which is the best.... you can get additional days by helping to clean up TER with reviews that have bad links to provider websites... much better to do this as you help both yourself and the community.
