My reviews cannot be showing in public

Hi, everyone.

As the title says. Which I login to my account and there is function which can “view as public”.
To view as public seem my comment is normal, all the comment and photos are available and accessible.
But, when I use chrome in private mode to see my contribution. I cannot view my comment except photo.

Every month, local guide send email to show how many people had view your photo or comments. That encourage me to upload more.
But every time when I view my comment in public, these comments cannot access make me feel disappointed…

I think this problem start from Feb. Because local guide is not telling me how many people seemed my comments.

However, last week I still can see my comment, but only 2 to 5 comments showed up.

Can any one help me?

Pictures of the problems… Only myself can access these comments.

But the most strange thing is there still one person like my comment (??)

Hi @WellsTsai

Welcome to Connect. Nice to meet you!

To make you feel at home I suggest you take a look at Your Guide to Connect (it’s a quick introduction to our community) and feel free to introduce yourself here.

When you have questions, try using the search field at the top first. Then check the Help desk documents and What are Connect topics before asking a new question in the How-to section.

I see 922 public reviews and 3772 photos published by you. 34.484 points.

Could it be that the other browsers you use is logged into another google account. Otherwise please try Clear cache & cookies.

Or try on another device. And let us know if the problem persists.

Cheers

Morten

Hi @WellsTsai

I checked your profile some more. And I agree that all your reviews are not showing on your profile. This is certainly strange.

I’m tagging @DeniGu to take a look.

Hey!! @WellsTsai

I didn’t Understand your word comments.

But i think you are talking about photos, videos, and your reviews, or maybe question’s answers.

Basically, the your comments has become private when we don’t follow Google Maps Contirbuter content policy.

Click Maps User Contributed Content Policy

And regarding likes,

There is nothing matter. Many people only show the photos, videos and they don’t like that.

Only few person like our photo and video, answers.

Thanks.

Ohh. I see. @WellsTsai

Your photos are appeared on your maps profile but reviews are not.

Don’t worry. This is one of the known issue.

Google moderator will give you answer regarding your problem.

I think it will happening for sometimes, I had some problems that automatically solved after few days of period.

Thanks @MortenCopenhagen for your efforts.

Hi, @KishorMali . Thanks for your reply.
Sorry for the misunderstanding in word “comments” and “reviews”.

They have almost the same meaning in Chinese.

What I mentioned is my review in google maps is not shown up even I set as public.

There is a button which can view contributions as public. All my reviews will automatically loaded.

But when I browsed in private mode (cookies are cleared) or logoff. All of my reviews cannot access.

This problem seems to be a knowing issue.

So I need to wait until it repaired automatically?

Hello @WellsTsai
There are identical complaints by others on the same issue being faced by you. Two in Achievements board & one more in How-Tos. You can join any of the thread to know further.
It appears that the automated check is marking all the reviews as private. Further, the reviewer badge degrades down to “Novice” category.
I have only one curiosity. Prior to the reported happening how many “views” & “likes” you had to your reviews?

Hi @KishorMali .

I’m using google maps in Taiwan.
BTW, the language in the pictures are all Chinese traditional.

I am having the exact same problem all of a sudden.

none of my reviews are showing up except photo and I can’t get help because other users have reported the same problem since 2018 which have not been resolved.

Hi @supersupergirl (nice profile name)

Please see the more recent thread about the same problem where we are giving tips. If you manage to get your reviews to show up in public again please document your steps to help others in the same situation.

Having about 2300 reviews is a lot. And the risk of making bad reviews increase.

Best of luck

Morten

Hi @WellsTsai

Did the problem solved?

BTW I facing the same problem recently. All new comments I posted can’t go to public, they can see by myself only. The photos posting is fine, they can show up to public.
