Dear Caulkgun1,
While much of what you say make sense, the whole trip advisor thing here in Asia is off track. I have even one owner brag about his method for removing bad reviews.
Unless it stops 'moderating' - it will destroy itself.

There are huge numbers of fake reviews too.
That said, I usually find the time to post a negative review but not always for a positive one ;-)
You are right the negative the reviews get delayed - and these are most important. Also i tend to only post bad reviews to warn off others - so if the system works there should be a lot more 'negatives' rather than positives. My conclusion is therefore many of the positives are fakes.
