Lots of reviews now marked as 'not posted' all of a sudden

Hi,

Well I’m afraid google has implemented some sort of new ‘artificial not-so-intelligence’, it’s hard to find a different explanation.

Lots of reviews which had been online for years partly, are now marked as ‘review not posted - this review doesn’t follow our content policies’

But maybe some of you can explain what is bad about a review like this:

Restaurant - five stars

Beautiful and spacious franconian inn not far from the city. The children’s dish is also available to teenagers who just got up at 2:30 pm Sunday afternoon and therefore aren’t that hungry. Carp fish is also available, during the season, from September to April (months with ‘R’)

Feeling somewhat confused … Wolfi :wink:

I will give you another example.

Metal finisher, five stars

I am a second generation customer of ‘xxx’. A large part of my range of bicycle frames were powder coated by father Y. Even the very old bike of a neighbor now looks brand new thanks to son Z. The best contact option is to use the phone. Raw parts can be sent directly from supplier to xxx. You discuss treatment in advance on the phone and pick up your finished part on the agreed date

I managed to get a review back online (after a couple of unsuccessful attempts) finally by just replacing one single word by another one with more or less the same meaning :roll_eyes:

Cheers … Wolfi

I noticed this too and I don’t know why

Many comments and photos are not published

Photos are yet another issue. Concerning reviews, there definitely exists an artificial stupidity intelligence evaluation this review.

Then it decides (by no apparent criteria) if your review is all right or not.

It just says ‘it’s against our policies’ without explicitly telling you why.

You can try and retry by editing, and sometimes you can appeal to a moderator

Yet another thing adding to the confusion: I received a couple of emails during the last weeks telling me ‘your review isn’t posted’

Well, in fact it meant: Your review is no longer posted (after it had been online for years).

The reason behind that was, that the place this review was about, had been deleted …
