Yelp filtering is automatic. That is, done by computer and not humans.
You will notice that most of the filtered reviews are 101s. One star, zero friends and one review.
Yelp wants people who write lots of reviews.

2. Lots of fake positive reviews. http://www.yelp.com/biz/cherry-creek-modern-dentistry-glendale-2
3. Infrequently - lots of negative reviews from non-customers about a stance taken by the business. For example, a bakery that won't serve homosexuals. http://www.yelp.com/biz/masterpiece-cakeshop-lakewood only shows 43 filtered, but at one time there were over 300.
