Ok so i recently joined TER and am officially a newbie here. I posted some boards and really like the site. The other day i left a review for a provider a few days later it was approved. Then days after that unapproved. No reason was given except to contact support. I'm curious if this is a newbie hazing thing by TER? Maybe TER politics in order to force VIP purchase? Has anyone else on TER have a review approved then unapproved?

Contact support and see what they say.

Since you are new, they probably meant to hold your review until they know a bit more about you, but someone pulled the trigger too soon.

Was the provider also new?  If so, that's another reason to hold a review.

My first review was a first review for a provider.  But I had been lurking on the boards for a several years before i pulled the triger. Patience with admin is needed.
