What’s with all the lame brief reviews.

The moderators need to step up their game.

I stopped in, the girls were pretty, the one beer was cold. I was too broke for any dances. Don’t know about the VIP or mileage. Then I left. I will come back though.

    Yeah - I assume it's mostly people writing reviews mainly to get the free VIP and don't really want nor care to write a review in the first-place.

    Others don't seem to understand, or care, that a review is not about you, it's about the reader(s) - too-many reviews are e.g. "I met Alexis, a sexy brunette, and had a good-time ..." but don't give any other details about the club nor the other dancers.

    Part of the problem w/ the publishing of reviews that many that write crappy reviews than somehow get accepted then get to vote on other reviews - I think it onl takes 3 yes votes to publish a review and there can easily be 3-morons out there to vote yes.

    With time, hopefully those that write crappy reviews won't get published and thus won't get VIP so they can't vote themselves (the publishing/voting of reviews is recent and w/ time hopefully the duds will be weeded out).

    Good points. I have noticed lots of short lame reviews that clearly were for VIP purposes only.
    The best reviews provide copious details and make a compelling argument of why you should or should not visit the establishment.

    I recall when I submitted my first review. It was quite lengthy, but was missing 1 or 2 key categories. So it was rejected. Appropriately so. The bar seems to have been lowered.

    I rejected two reviews today that were short with lack of details or looked like a club ad. They have not been published as of this time. I hope they don't.

    "I think it only takes 3 yes votes to publish a review and there can easily be 3-morons out there to vote yes."

    It's why I think a review stay up for 12 hours and only get posted if it has a 60% positive vote rate.

    @Liwet - That would mean we would have a veritable mountain of reviews. Already there are a lot, adding more would mean less people would do them. If you have too many I know personally I wouldn't have the time to make it through the list and making it to the end gives a sense of satisfaction.

    It used to be reviews only got published once or twice a day; and sometimes not till the next-day - I don't think waiting a few-hours or a day for reviews to post is too-big a deterrent to writing reviews especially if one is told ahead of time how long it may take - plus reviews get submitted around the clock so reviews will be going in and out of the Unpublished-list at different times; and once you vote on a review you no longer see-it even if it's still in the unpublished-list.

    I rejected 3-4 today that were maybe 3 sentences each. Terrible.

    Good job Spencer.

    I don’t care how many reviews get published per day, as long as they provide thorough intel.

    FYI. I was in Houston on business for a month. Thanks to the complete reviews on TUSCL, I was able to target two clubs near my hotel. I must have visited each club at least 10 times.

    My thanks thanks to all you good reviewers.

    I hope my club ads (opps... i mean reviews) are ok. I'm certain they could be better. always room for improvement. another reason that an edit function would be nice.

    I've been reviewing since 2012 and have never had a review not published. Furthermore what's the deal with certain members getting to accept/reject potential reviews? Not that i want to do that, just wondering.

    Sounds like a template with instructions and word count checker could help with the filtering.
