I reviewed post 337, but it seems to me there is a language barrier (you mention previously you are German, thus I assume your primary language is German), my post you quoted has me referring to other posters who was questioning the neutrality of the site due to external mechanisms such as email alerts, marketing and advertisng, etc. I stand by my posts and see no contradiction.
I'm pleased that I was able to teach you something new, but I don't agree with you about it being an outlier. Nor do the courts or regulatory bodies (nor do the majority of people on this thread agree with you either, apparently)
Sure there may be a problem with one hotel, but is there a lawsuit against every hotel on Trip Advisor.. a lawsuit of the same nature? The answer is no. This again is a perfect example of outlier, even in the sense of litigation.
And unfortunately just like on Flyertalk, quantity of posts doesn't always equate to quality of posts.
If you're talking about my posts, funny, I think the same about yours.
