I contacted Google Support and they said that I am not banned or shadow banned, and I don’t have any penalties on my account. However any review I post anywhere does not show up whatsoever. I’m just confused as to what’s happening? And how to fix it?

I take a look at your profile and found only one review was not showing up, unless the counter goes wrong.

Sorry I meant to say that every new review that I post will not show up
@Cherylicious There is a new filtering system for reviews and it can take a few days for them to show up on your profile.

I feel like up until very recently, they were all showing up immediately, but now even like three days later they still won’t show up

The new system is only running in France and Italy and it’s main feature is to inform the Local Guides when a review goes hidden. I don’t think that is the case here. Normally, reviews wil go public very quickly.
So @Cherylicious was proabably put under watch be the spam filter. There could be valid reasons (policy violations related to reviews or others) or the spamfilter is overly sensitive which often has been the case over the past year.
@Cherylicious will need to go over his contributions with an open mind and evaluate which it is.
After cleaning up potential violations the use the form related to hidden contributions.
Cheers

I deleted all of the other ones I think it’s because I kept posting and deleting reviews and then putting them back up again after changing my mind. But I promise to keep them up permanently this time but I can’t get in touch with Google and I can’t find a way to get not shadowbanned again please help
