1) They are desperate to get new reviews here.
2) They have cut way back on their staff so stupid stuff like this gets by.

Have not been consistent for a very long time. Makes you long for the good ole days when the rules were hard and fast and enforced somewhat evenly across the board. Sure there was always politics involved, but things were much better then with less grey area IMHO.

i have learned long ago the secret in using the reviews is look for trends and check reviewers history ..    

like the olympics i tend to ignore a lady's highest and lowest scores.      

also check reviewers history.  i recent discovered a girl whose reviews were all 10/10 ..  but in checking the guys ..  of the 7 reviewers  5 of them only had one review, her and it was a 10/10    the other two guys had reviewed 5 other girls but all those girls got a 10/10      that actually makes me hesitant to see her.  

and remember scores are also activity dependent .   so i might be thrilled to see a girl with a great review essays but 8 performance  since i dont care about greek and CBJ.      so before you spend your hard earned cash take 15 minutes to do your homework.    

an appropriate username.    I noticed you have not contributed any reviews of your own since 2016.  If guys like you, who do seem to be articulate, would keep putting reviews up, it would serve to dilute the numbers you have observed with poor English.  You also should remember that for 20 months TER was not accessible from the US, so a lot of the reviews that went up during this dark period were from hobbyists in other countries where English may not be their usual language, and to my knowledge, TER will not accept reviews written in other languages.   When you are complaining about the poor review-writing, but are doing nothing yourself to help make it better, you sound a little hypocritical to me.
