I probably was confusing tripadvisor with expedia and travelocity. I used to write reviews after booking with expedia, and I either used to write reviews after booking with travelocity, or at least was planning to write reviews after booking with travelocity. Both expedia and travelocity have prohibited including room rate discussions.
As far as I can tell, it is correct that tripadvisor itself never prohibited discussion of room rates in their reviews -- I must have just assumed that that was a standard policy across hotel review sites!
