Because that's the central purpose of a discussion board.
Cool, so you contribute nothing to the common good of other business patrons. Your prerogative.
The hotel is a public entity. Individual are not. True identities of the reviewer do not further the interest of the TA. The very fact that TripAdvisor allows creations of "usernames" supports this.
The good old Nothing to Hide argument.
So, what's your name?
Actually, the OP asked for an answer to a simple question, "Does anyone know if this sort of behavior runs afoul of the TA rules/policies? Other than sending a note to the "manager" via email or taking down the review, do I have any recourse through TA?" The OP did not ask for a discussion of anything. But perhaps the difference between the two escapes you. I asked for a discussion on the philosophical point of whether it is fair for reviewers to remain anonymous and not stand behind (with their name) the comments they post.
The OP's question needed only a one word response, 'yes'. I actually didn't even think it worthy of answering in my first response. If you have a problem with someone written on a forum, you contact the forum moderators, not the person who wrote the comment. I would have thought that they OP being a forum moderator on here, would know that at least as well as anyone would.
But if you are interested in discussions deniah, then I would suggest from some of your previous posts on various threads, that you give some thought to the concept of listening to opinions that differ from your own. If the only people you ever listen to are those who agree with you, you will learn nothing from doing so. It is only by listening to differing opinions that you can learn from a discussion.
