I've done about 50-60 reviews on TA and they've all posted. Don't quite understand why negative reviews are deleted.
I read the negative reviews first and discount any negative reviews that are old because things change and the property may have been sold.
I also discount the reviews by people who have written one/two reviews and they are just such glowing reviews they defy belief.
My sister told me she read an article where they talked about people who are professionals and who go in and write good/bad reviews - for a living.
The value of TA for me is mostly in the advice area. Very often I'll ask a travel question online, only to have the best response from a TA thread that had addressed a like issue.
