So that would indicate that you can rescind a bad review if TA agrees with your request to do so.
Actually, quite an annoying policy. I accidentally submitted a review with a dumb title (something I had just put as a placeholder). I couldn't edit it, and nor could the TA staff. They had to completely remove the review and I had to resubmit it just to change the title from "Nice" to "Very relaxing place in Burgundy" or whatever. Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to copy the text before they removed the original post! It was still a pain, though, to have to go through and re-rank all the aspects of of the stay...
