My experience has been spotty!  Some reviews are simply accepted while others are rejected.  And, the reason for rejection is always, not enough intimate details !  My take is that is that different TER reviewers have different takes on what a good review needs to cover.  I tend to avoid, what is for me, too much intimate detail, but do include, what I think is enough info to guide readers to determine if 'she is for me'  because that is what I look for in a review.  TER, are you paying attention?

I neglected to mention I had exactly that experience - twice!

We certainly have no Grammer Experts reading them.

"Hello, this is PEGGY." (read more)

Like the outsourced Eastern European customer service guy in the TV commercial, sitting in his hut with a dozen separate phones ringing, right?

We have no TER-linked moderator to shed light on what's going on, and anyway, for obvious reasons it's never been their practice to shed too much light.  Plus it's their ball and their court.  They are not really accountable to any of us for how they conduct their business.  It is what it is.

I've had valid problem reports marked "unapproved," a rejection which of course comes with no further explanation.  In one case I pressed the issue via the "Contact Us" form and after three frustrating and unproductive exchanges with the first-line staffer, requested that it be escalated to "Admin".  ("Admin" is the apparent TER moniker for senior staff or management.)  To his credit, he did.   I next got a reply from "Admin" that thanked me for my tenacity and confirmed the validity of my report, which was then approved and acted upon.  So if you really have an issue, use the contact form and request escalation to "Admin" if it's not resolved to your satisfaction.

There have been other instances where a problem report is approved, VIP days are awarded, but the correction isn't made in the profile.  Go figure.

Meanwhile, until recently someone here was flagging almost every new review with a problem report.  Whenever I tried to occasionally enter one, I found there already was one open.  It was as if someone was camping out on this site and entering problem reports as each new review came up.  Curious, I clicked on the problem report box (without actually sending one) in the profiles of other new reviews; they almost all showed an open problem report.  WTF?!  My bet is somebody here was/is nit-picking any review/profile detail to create a problem report just to try to build up awarded VIP days instead of writing reviews or paying the fee.  That kind of nonsense doesn't help.

TER is apparently short on staff, and as with any job, some who do it are better than others.  It's not a perfect world.  Meanwhile, let's not bog down the process with contrived problem reports.  The same people process both the reviews and the problem reports, so if they're buried in input it'll just take them longer to wade through it all, and delay posting of the new reviews.

And hope that there isn't just one guy named Peggy who's assigned to read everything from Phoenix.

You might be the only person reading this who got my comment about Grammar Experts reading them.

Fabulous Patricia!

Incidentally, other than you, no Spelling Experts either!
