I post all my ARC reviews to Barnes & Nobles and Amazon and my library reviews to Amazon no matter the star rating. For the most part, I'm a gentle reviewer so no scathing critiques of books. There are some reviews that might take a week to post and I don't really know why but it can happen when I have to six or so books publish on the same day so the first few go through quickly and the last couple might lag a bit. If I happen to be up at 3am on publishing day, posting a review then seems to go through almost instantly but I try to avoid being up at 3am.
Knock on wood, I seem to have been able to avoid the censoring mechanism on each site for a while now 😒
All my reviews have been accepted but about half the time they will take a couple of days to show up.

I just thank the publisher (or whoever I got the book from) and NG/EW (if I got it from there) for the ARC. I keep it that simple and all my reviews have been accepted.
I posted two reviews that thanked the publishers and NetGalley, just yesterday, and they took them. 😕
