Just found out that TER apparently has a policy - undocumented - that if you submit a review.....and then subsequently submit a rereview, you have to wait 3 months before submitting the second updated review. Even after questioning this, it is apparently unpublished policy.

review.

and one that I agree with. If it were my call, it would be 6 months, not 90 days. There has already been abuse of this process by manipulating the current reviews to keep a provider on the top 100 lists and by shills replacing 10/10 reviews with another 10/10 once "his" falls to the second page.  

Thanks for your 'idea' - ordinarily my mind is not easily subject to change, however in this case, the experience was the polar opposite of the previous visit.

Not too difficult to determine if a review is a shill or a deliberate attempt to manipulate the rankings. The current rules stipulate that a rereview must add something material to the previous review. A 10/10 review re reviewed would  - I assume - not add anything material in a second review. Going from a 5 to a 10 or vice a versa would provide a material difference.

I didn't mean to imply that you had any disingenuous intent, but my first paragraph was more in general commentary and my own observations. I have seen a 10/10 replaced with a 10/10 and more then once. The numbers become irrelevant but fucking from a swinging lampshade as opposed to a bed can qualify, if you get my drift.

I hear what you say...and BTW love the swinging from the  lampshade visual

...I've read it somewhere on here but can't fi d it now. It's not in review FAQ's.

and although volunteer mods were done away with long ago, I suspect that whoever took your mini review down was not the same person who approves the actual reviews here.

With as much posting and reviewing volume as there is on TER, the left hand doesn't always know what the right hand is doing. I will confess though, some of the reasoning that goes into what stays and what goes on the discussion boards lately is beyond me, and I was a mod here for several years.

I've had postings removed for reasons that baffle me as well as reviews that are rejected which, when I query, all of a sudden are approved, recently I had one rejected for "not enough detail" and when I pointed out that the volume and detail were consistent with all other reviews that I posted....was approved.

I was doing some reminiscing and reading my old reviews and came across an "unapproved" review from 10 years ago that fell under this rule
