Wow Blake, I don.'t doubt that they have removed many of your reviews. As in the Telegraph byline you omit the word " all" They are banned from saying that ALL their reviews are real.All their reviews cannot be verified they are an open forum for travellers critique and can be manipulated by unscrupulous subscribers. Tripadvisor is still a good way to research a destination and you can usually pick out the frauds. By saying that T.A allows hotels to game the system suggests that they condone it. They do not. The open reviewing system that allows honest comment unfortunately leaves the door open for self serving reviews.
