leave all of the old reviews on unless they seriously slow the query time. Because old reviews can be annoying, I would suggest a search field for the date. Their could be a search parameter showing all reviews after a certain date that the user could enter, but doesn't have to enter. I give a lot of weight to certain reviewers that have had similar experiences to mine. Sometimes the numerical score is different but the details are similar. Their should only be one review per reviewer per provider, but it should be editable so that information can be amended as desired, and a new date can be applied. This feature would be very helpfull to me since a good juicy details review takes me close to an hour and I don't want to rewrite an entire review just to change a few details.I would also like to comment to Staff on provider written suspected bogus reviews. My vote is leave a review in unless their is overwhelming evidence that it is false. I would rather have to sort through ten bogus reviews than get rid of one real one. The only sure way to know that a review is written by a provider is by tracking IP addresses and related information, so all that a provider would have to do is to use a friends computer or one at a cyber cafe. In conlusion, to Staff. I have a friend that is a paying VIP member that does not submit reviews and, to my knowledge, has never seen a provider. Yet he just loves to read the reviews and look at the pictures. The more reviews the happier he is.
I don't think that reviews more than a year old have much value. Things change. Also, as time goes by the database is going to accumulate a lot of reviews and ultimately search time is likely to become an issue -- even if disk space isn't a problem.I would suggest that you sweep the database once a month and remove all reviews more than twelve months old from the database.I would further suggest that when a review is removed that if that reviewer is still seeing the same provider that he be allowed to write a new review of her. In other words, change the rule "you can only review a provider once" to "you can only review a provider at twelve month intervals." A given reviewer would still have only one review of a given provider in the database and I think a recent review would be more useful than a review that is more than a year old.

We will be updating the look of the provider Profile form after the review update. At this time we will probably present you with the first 15 reviews and a button to go to the next 15, ect.The ability to re-review a provider after a year has merit IF the review is of a new visit. Let me talk it over internally, but I think that we can make the change.
