Can someone please explain to me how review are approved? I have seen reviews that are three lines line that are approved, while I have consistently written detailed ones which are unapproved asking for more information. It's frustrating and causes one to ask why do it at all.

Help.

There are several people who approve reviews and as such, it is not uniform.  TER is refining the process.  The logistics are not as easy as they seem.

1rob is right on target, as usual.
Just send a message, change it a little (if any) and someone else will read it and approve it.

The system may not be perfect, but it exists to help everyone...so it's worth the effort.

Just sayin'

my reviews are not graphic in language but they don't get rejected.  They are not short, but I do not use explicit language and the story gets told.  Maybe you are not telling the story in a long enough narrative.

To be honest, I am surprised mine get approved due to my 'vanilla' descriptions, but they do.  Read some of my reviews and see.

I've done unapproved-I always write back and courteously ask them what the problem is and correct it when I hear from them-Each one was then approved-this works for me-sorry you're having the problem-Good Luck-1rob

I have to agree with you there buddy not only do those of us who write reviews get frustrated from that inconsistency, but also from the LONG delay in approvals.  It says 72 hours but I would say mine have pretty much taken 5 to 7 days to get approved...  Is it there are not enough people doing this?  Or sometimes I wonder if it is just me getting ignored.... Ok I have vented, sorry guys
