I've been a long time lurker on this site. This site is awesome! My first experience was great but that lady is no longer providing so I wasn't able to write her review. I met with my second provider a few weeks ago. I took the time to post a review but it was DENIED! I have tried to resubmit it and hope I'm not violating any TER rules by doing so. I was just so frustrated and can't understand why I was denied. The reason stated was very vague, something to the effect that "from time to time, TER just decides not to approve some reviews".

1. Am I violating the rules by resubmitting the review?

2. Is there a way to avoid having my reviews denied? I'd hate to write another and have that one denied too.

Thanks for your help.

You are not breaking any rules by resubmitting & I encourage you to do so...  You have 90 days to submit a review.  
The denial you recieved has to do with first time reviewers reviewing new providers...  So very many of those have been suspect & do not resemble later reviews.  Things that enther into your reviews being accepted is your TER log-ins, your posting history, and your reviewing history, with the latter being most important.  If you see a provider with reviews, & post a review, it will likely be accepted & then resubmit the first & you'll have a reviewing history.  
Often a review that is denied due to what is written, can be touched up, edited & resubmitted successfully.  About half mine have had to be.

How long do you folks usually find that it takes to get a review approved?  As I newbie, I submitted a review for my first time at the hobby, both as a way to thank the provider and as a way to begin establishing a history.  When I look at "My Reviews" it still shows up as new, and doesn't appear under the provider.

It's only been a couple of days, but I'm curious as to the average wait time.
