    The last 4 reviews I've posted this month have not appeared on the site. I don't use foul language in my posts. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

    Your reviews are in the queue for approval. The earliest I found was dated the 24th; one was dated today. This is our busy season and we are processing reviews as quickly as possible. Thanks for participating and submitting your reviews.

    Yes, it's the same thing I said to hdrider in another thread. This is our busy season, and currently there are over 350 reviews waiting to be checked, so, yes, it does take a while to get to new ones.

    Your 4 reviews were submitted on 4/24, 2 on 4/25, and 4/28. Three are closer to the top of the queue, but the last one which apparently was just submitted is pretty much at the bottom.

    350 is a big number to work on, but we're still pedaling.

    And each time the admins have to stop to answer these questions, it just puts the reviews even further behind.

    Welcome to the forum diceshooter60.

    I think we Americans get so used to fast food and super sized fries that we sometimes forget that it doesn't apply to everything we want.

    The snowbirds are on the move and it's great weather for RVing. As they said, there are lots of reviews on their plate. Let's all be patient for our reviews to be posted.

    Nothing against "diceshooter" or anyone else who has asked "where are my reviews", but I think many newcomers don't realize that real live people look at each review. Most review sites post reviews without any review process, or they only remove comments if there are a number of flags to the comment.

    Having a staff here of live people checking content is unusual, but very refreshing, and I wouldn't want it any other way. Thanks for all your hard work.

    Just wanted to let everyone know that the admins have worked really hard to get the backlog of reviews posted. As of right now, there are only 10 in the queue. That doesn't mean the number won't go up again, but the admins will post them as fast as they can. Even with the recent huge number (over 500 at one time), reviews were still getting posted within a week of being submitted.

    So thanks to the admins who accomplished this task and to our members who waited patiently for their review to be posted. We appreciate your support.

    Ditto on the AttaBoys !
    Maybe you can get some part timers to help you out with the reviews ?

    I have always been hesitant to take review sites (for hotels, restaurants, etc...) as gospel until I've seen someone's review of a place I've been and their review matches our's so I know it's not the owner or someone who standards are different than ours :)

    just started using the site and unfortunately could have used one of the review to save us a wasted night at a terrible park :)

    This is the lovely view out our back window and it was rated relatively high by Good Sam....

    Have you reviewed places before? If this was your first one you must submit 3 before any are posted.
