The theme which closest fits the information you have provided is our business directory theme, Vantage. Almost every requirement you have listed is not a default function of the theme out of the box and would require some form of customization on your part if you were to have it work exactly as you describe. Although there are some features included that you have mentioned, they don't work as you have specified, so I would include these as "not available".

What is already included or part of the theme by default is all outlined on the theme information page, and specifically to your list is:
- You create your own categories, so there is no limit to the number which you can have
- Moderator can delete reviews
- Theme is scalable, relative to what WordPress can handle. You can read more about this here
- There are advertising spaces available in Vantage in the form of widgets
- Our themes are all WordPress themes and are easily installed

The next major release of Vantage (v1.2) will include a responsive design for use on mobile devices and you can see more about the estimated release date on the theme release status page. Thanks.
