Yet a review was APPROVED recently that simply said "good-bye"......

I had the same problem last week, resubmitted it unchanged, and it was approved within an hour.

I submitted a couple of reviews on Tuesday and they still have not been approved...

Me Too

Argh. Mine  was relatively short but had a gold mine of valuable information not available in many of the rambling poetic style romance novel descriptions they seem to want now. Must have hired college students looking for creative writing to rip off.

I had some of the same problems.  I write reviews that sit there for some time and then I become a basic member since they don't approve or disapprove.  I then am told that it isn't enough info yet I read some that are two sentences that say nothing.  I know I had plenty of info, but I did go in an edit for whatever reason.  If the purpose is to let others know of my experience so they can decide if the person is who they would want to see then I met that criteria.

I'll bet if I paid for my membership rather than write reviews all of my reviews would fly through.  Just a hunch.

I am not as established as some of you guys but I have not had a single issue getting reviews approved.  I am not sure though whether I will be writing any new reviews.  On one hand I don't want to feel like a leach, on the other I am already supporting this site with a subscription and I'd like to stay UTR.

But yes it seems that they may be trying to 'down-throttle' your reviews-for-VIP submissions, especially if it is for an already well-reviewed provider.  It would be interesting to know if they are equally rejecting reviews for new/unestablished providers as well as established ones (the former presumably being of greater value to TER).

and I talked about our small talk, and all sorts of extra lil tidbits...

This is the reason my review was denied:

"Your review was denied for lack of information in the details section. Specifically your review needs more information outside of discussing the physical interaction between you and the provider."

Do most people reading reviews really care for the information outside of the physical interaction?

I gave a blow by blow, then the details of our small talk...what else could I have possibly written about?

This isn't a session with a shrink...it's the description of a "fictional" (lol) sexual encounter...
