Myself, I would select club AA. It has the most ratings, so IMO would probably have the most variety and quality experience. Knowing that ratings are highly subjective, I would discount club CC. It may have better looking dancers, but they don't appear to increase the traffic.

To be a little less dicky, if I chose based on this incompetently-formatted table, I'd probably pick CC. Given we have no other info, I wouldn't make guesses on why CC has fewer visits but higher ratings -- maybe it just opened 2 years ago, and AA has been open since 2002. Might as well take advantage of the crowd's wisdom
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, any of us who’ve been at this hobby for a reasonable length of time, can usually find a good time in most reasonable clubs, it only takes one good gal to make a visit great, yeah I know one bad gal can ruin a visit for a lot of you, but that’s not really the point is it.
The only decision making tool I use for mongering is Cristobal Junior.
Sometimes we spend too much money, hang out the club too long, look for one too many bargirls but overall we work well as a team.
AA is probably where I’d be most likely to work.
And you're making this argument because one of your reviews got rejected and you don't want to accept that perhaps it's your review style that should change, rather than the current review standards.
Two points...
1. Your argument is faulty. As TUSCL consumers, we're not limited to viewing review quantities alone. We can factor in both the quantity of reviews *and* the quality of reviews. In fact, if I encounter a club listing with a ton of reviews, but I'm having a hard time finding good reviews, then I'll assume that the club's listing is flooded with shills and scammers. So, I'd look elsewhere.
2. With the time and effort you put into making all these posts arguing for lower standards, you could have written some pretty great club reviews...

I think most members when reviewing which club to visit for a new city would gravitate to the clubs with the most reviews as the first qualifier. Then they would probably look at the club info page and then scan reviews. Each member would then make their own determination of the appeal of the club. At least that is the process that I would use. My selection was the top 5 reviewed clubs for Seattle, although for this purpose, the city is irrelevant. I seriously doubt the majority of members would focus on the least reviewed club.
Regarding CC, it is possible that it is a newer club. Review of the club info page or reviews might indicate that. As this was a sample city, even though it may apply in this case it probably isn't common amongst most cities.
Regarding quantity vs quality, having twice as many reviews as your nearest competitor, is IMO a pretty good indicator of where to start. The local members in most markets probably outweigh the out of towners and know their clubs the best, but yet they are probably the least likely to want to write an essay every time they visit the club.
Regarding my reviews, for the umpteenth time I have not had any reviews rejected. When I visit a club, I like to write my review when I get home. I don't spend a lot of time trying to structure it, I just relate my experience. As I have said before, if I have to spend any time trying to think of what to say and structure to satisfy overzealous reviewers I will just stop reviewing as it takes away from my experience.
I find it comical that a common response is that basically if a person doesn't want to rise to our standard for reviews we don't want his review. Some people will adapt and others will say fine and go away. In a business model that generates income based on traffic and reviews, why do we want to reduce them?
Every review that is published has the ability to have comments. If you have a problem with a review, make a comment. Let the member for himself determine the validity of the review.
1. A superior value score (most important metric, to me)
2. A superior dancer score (next most important metric, to me)
3. A large enough sample size to make averages useful
Only if all other things being equal would I choose AA on the strength of the number of reviews.
In reality, I use scores to determine which I clubs I am willing to research by reading reviews when visiting a new area.
^ It doesn't matter how well you *think* you word your posts, invariably someone will misinterpret them and reply as such. It's not really amazing. It's just the way it is with the internet and all. Rather than call this out, just clarify any confusion. Communication is a two-way street.
