There does not seem to be rhyme nor reason to when reviews are posted.

I wrote a review of a film called "Firebird." I have written over 250 reviews of films and posted them on IMDB. Recently 100% of my reviews would be "approved" within several hours and up they went on the site. But my "Firebird" review seems to be stuck in some kind of endless loop.

Issue + idea regarding clarifying specific problems with reviews
