Pending Reviews

Hello @NoonSayNabeel,
what exactly means was told?

  • For places within the European Union, contributions can be marked with a white triangle. It means, they were rejected by the SPAM filter and hidden to the public. If you see a photo like this und My ContributionsPhotosBy date:

    Remove this photo from the review and watch, if the text-only review is published. If so, you can try to crop the photo to remove a recognizable face or some letters and try to attach it again. Recently, we saw also cases where cropping just a very little bit did help.
  • If your receive a mail saying “Review could not be published …” usually means the place doesn’t exist any more.

The rules say, the review must reflect our personal experience. Not sure, how the filter reacts, if it was created or just “improved” by AI. If it discovers exact the same phrases on the Internet, it might result in a ban.

If photos or videos are attached to a review and only one is rejected by the filter the entire review and all other attached media will be hidden. Videos can stay in the pending state for more than a day.

Have a look at @MortenCopenhagen’s series of articles How to Get In and Out of Trouble: The Main post for more tips.
