Suggestion and Policy

Let's put this in the perspective of the work required

I know I am lobbying against my own interests, but a LOT more work goes into actually writing a review than goes into reporting inaccuracies in said review/s.  

 
I hope you aren't really suggesting "QA type efforts" where a reviewer and his reviews would be subject to being cross examined about the accuracy of everything he wrote, What a fucking clusterfuck that would be and I can't think of anything that would do more to discourage members from writing reviews.

Providing the full VIP days for writing reviews and for reporting issues with both reviews and ads is nice. However I wonder if the current structure is best for accomplishing both having enough current reviews and having an active user participation in the QA process.

 
My view is that once a provider has about 10 reviews for then past 3 months one should have a good idea of just what to expect. However that depends on how accurate the review is. TER is not in a perfect position to make that assessment but some of the other members of TER can be.

 
Incentives for doing QA type efforts (reporting what seems to be inaccuracies in a review) seem to be equally as important as contributing reviews to TER but the current incentive system greatly favors submitting a review that gets accepted over community self-policing/QA of reviews submitted.
