I submitted a review of the park, in a few days got an email back approving it, it showed up on the RVparkreviews site for three days and was then removed, for what reason, I don't know other than the owner had enough influence to have it removed. Someone mentioned that RVParkReview is owned by a campground owners association or something close to that. Perhaps DocJ can talk about who actually owns and controls the content of RVParkreviews. Someone had to appoint him to his position with RVPARKREVIEWS.
This is totally erroneous information. RVParkReviews has NEVER been owned by an organization of any sort nor are its owners affiliated in any way with any RV parks or campgrounds. It had been owned by an individual and had a totally volunteer staff. It recently was purchased by Social Knowledge, the parent company for IRV2.com and numerous other social media websites.
The site has always worked hard to avoid and/or remove reviews that appear to be from individuals who own or work at the parks being reviewed. Possibly your review was judged to have been submitted by someone associated by the park you were reviewing. That is the only circumstance I know of under which a review might be removed after being posted.
If you would like me to research the claim you have made about reviews that have been removed after being posted you are welcome to PM me the particulars including the user name under which it was submitted, the park name, the approximate date and any other particulars you think would help us identify it.
