Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

In 2001 I drove up into the Cascades on Highway 20 and I'm still haunted by the scenery along that road. I made the drive in very late winter, on the day after a storm had passed across the region. The sky on that morning was still full of storm wrack, but the sun was beginning to occasoinally break through the murk. The Cascades are very rugged mountains and, in bad weather, rather somber-looking, even forbidding. Crossing the Willamette Valley, Highway 20 had been a broad high-speed four-lane. As soon as it began climbing the foothills, however, it narrowed down to primative two-lane blacktop and began to twist and turn. It looked like a route that moonshiners would favor. At the base of the mountains the road traveled through a tiny patch of temporate rain forest. The rain forest only lasted for a minute or two, but the effect it had on me was profound. I'd never seen such a landscape------at least not while I was awake. It was surreal, id-like. Scenery from a dream. Every tree trunk, and many of the lower limbs, was wrapped in a thick fur-like coat of moss. The moss was green, of course, but the shades ranged from deepest green to wild day-glo tones. In places, the trees alongside the highway blocked out the sky. At these times the forest became claustrophobic, almost frightening. I half-expected to see Hansel and Gretel wandering lost among the cedars. Higher up, the forest thinned out a bit. The sun came out and long pink beams of cheery early-morning light slanted down through the immense trees. I stopped the car on the side of the road and got out. The only sound was the sighing of the wind through the damp, dripping forest canopy. It was amazing what a change the sunlight had on the mood of the forest. What had been creepy down below was now almost innocent. It felt as though I had gone back to the dawn of the world. In my opinion, anyone who visits Portland for an extended period of time during the winter months and fails to drive up into the Cascade Mountains is making a HUGE mistake. Well, let me amend that last statement. The route may not be for everyone. Driving Highway 20 at the higher elevations in winter can be somewhat nerve-wracking. I know because I lost it on one of the hairpins-----I slid across the opposite lane and ended up on the shoulder of the road. And I was lucky to have come to rest where I did. The shoulders are narrow and the drop-offs are wicked. And there are no guard rails. Above 4000 feet, the road was packed snow ( even though it had been plowed). I was in a hurry that day, but you can't drive this road in a hurry. Nor should you----it deserves to be savored.
