Over time, Bazaarvoice plans to reduce the window for approval to significantly less than 24 hours, but this is much more difficult than it sounds.

There's really not much difference between 15 minutes, 24 hours, and 5-7 days. What percentage of people have the time to go back and check if it was posted? Btw, I recently wrote an Amazon.com review and it was immediately posted. Now, it may have eventually been pulled, but I'm not the type that is going to go back and check on it. All that said, I'm happy to report not a single complaint from our customer base on this, but I've got my ears peeled. :) To beat a dead horse… ;-) IMHO, any user generated content that is not instantaneously posted is sub-optimal.

We obviously don't want to hold back the posting of a review if it is approved and ready to be posted. Our turnaround time for moderating is usually less than 24 hours from the time it was submitted. That is far better than the 5-7 day standard set by Amazon.com. Patrick, great points. We obviously don't want to hold back the posting of a review if it is approved and ready to be posted.
