Hey I have a problem. I always stayed true in reviewing. Everytime I visit any place I try to do honest reviews, no matter if the experience was bad or good. I don’t use bad language. I have hundreds of reviews and try to write in details. Some time ago, Google flagged me some pictures because of “nudity”. I looked at it and it was few people in tshirt and shorts standing around statue of dragon. I sent it back and they contacted me it was flagged by mistake. Okay, however I noticed that all my reviews older than 1,5 year or so got private and flagged for not following the guidelines. I don’t know what’s wrong. I can’t even contact Google or support under those reviews. I’m sad because it’s a lot of reviews and there is nothing wrong with them. They were flagged like year and few months after being public and it’s all of them behind certain date. Does Google flag old reviews? Or was I reported by angry owners for a bad review? Help please. This it says even though I still can publish reviews: “The review has not been published
What happened
Your account cannot publish reviews to Google services such as Maps or Search. Reviews you previously published have been removed.”
Hi @Eluna
Not all your reviews have been hidden as the message could inply.
I can confirm from your public profile that you have added 211 reviews and only 144 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 review guidelines.
Read about typical review guideline violations here. And please see my latest post called 4 Tips on writing better reviews.
If you are on a Desktop use this link to Count your hidden contributions. From a mobile device use this link.
If you want to identify which of your reviews are hidden check this post.
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for contributions not visible on Google Maps if you believe that some of your contributions have been wrongfully unpublished. Keep in mind, it takes several weeks for the check to be done, and you will not be notified about the result, so I suggest you check the status of your reviews once a week or so.
Best of luck
