@dustyhansen That's not at all how it works. If you submit a review for ANY rating that relates to a support issue for which you haven't created a support request for, then it won't get approved until you do, and there's a reasonable amount of time for the author to correct it beforehand. There is an exception, and that's when an issue is widely reported, and no resolution by the author has been made.
The reason for this, as stated above, is to produce a positive outcome for the customer. A negative review is not going to resolve your issue, but leveraging your review for a positive outcome for not only you but other users is. It's also to protect authors from users who leave reviews about support issues but never amend them once the issue is fixed. This is the case most of the time and is demotivating.
Also, reviews about features that are not advertised or even promised should not happen. I get in your head that it's motivation for the author to add those features, but at that point, you're forcing them to do so for the sake of amending your review. That's absolutely abusive and is exactly why they wouldn't get approved.
