Hi everyone! Was curious if anyone else has experienced this issue:
I’m a level 8 local guide with more than enough lengthy reviews and likes to be a “Master Reviewer,” but my badge is stuck on “Novice Reviewer” for some unknown reason. Any ideas what it could be? Thanks!
The problem seem to me a legitimate failures to meets the upgrades. For a moment there I thought that the use a system to devalue your reviews. Like you I should be a level 8.
Still stuck in level 6, sometimes it level 5
Very confused.
HI @Ryan_B
Thanks for sharing. When I check your reviews, it shows no reviews were written.
I used this link to see the public version of your profile:
When you visit the link and are signed in to yourself, do you see the same as I do? 
Thanks for the reply. I clicked your link and it brings up my profile, showing 792 reviews and 578 helpful votes. I have over 2,000 contributions and over 22,000 “points.” I’m at a loss…
The difference can be explained by whether you are logged in or not.
Google Maps will hide reviews from public view so only the author can see them while logged in.
@Ryan_B ,
I can confirm from your public profile that you have added 792 reviews and none of them are public.
Google has automatic filters that hide your reviews so only you can see them. This can happen when some of your reviews violate the guidelines, including:
Prohibited and Restricted Content
Format Specific Criteria (See under Text Reviews and Captions)
Read about typical review guideline violations here.
Please use the form called Account investigation for contributions not visible on Google Maps if you believe that some of your contributions have been wrongfully unpublished.
Best of luck
