I was thinking, since some people post reviews under aliases so they can bash providers, (I haven't dealt with this recently, but it is an idea I just thought of,) perhaps alias reviews should be more regulated for the true vigilantes and omit free VIP days.

I like to think the typical reviewer uses the alias not because he wants to but because he feels he has to in order to protect himself from back splash after writing a poor review.  Remember, poor reviews help the potential client and the good providers as well by helping to rid the market of the bad providers.

How about if reviewers who give nothing but 10/10 reviews stop getting free VIP days too?

whether alias or not. There is plenty of review abuse already; taking a financial incentive for abuse away (no matter how small an incentive - are people really so fucking cheap?) is a good start in the right direction

Reviews enhance the website. TER rewards the people contributing. Same as with problem reports. I don't see writing reviews or submitting problem reports as being cheap. I see those VIP days as a reward for helping the site. If there was no reward, a lot less people would contribute. I would guess the 1.2 million reviews in the database would be more like 400,000.

it's main asset is what is inarguably the largest review database in the world. Why would TER do anything to fuck that up

Oooh Gambler doesn't like me anymore. lol

as I usually say "makes sense"

I don't see anywhere that I called you dumb, just your idea.

You didn't say it was dumb, did I say you said that?

 Actually your idea really is not that dumb, it's just against TER's self interest and as such it will never happen.  
   
 Don't worry Court, I still like you just fine
