Problem with allot of my reviews getting the status of "Not posted"

Hello, i have noticed allot of my reviews have a text saying"Not posted

This may not follow our policies. See details for info on what you can do."

I doubt almost all my reviews and even just ratings, yeah just ratings, and positive ones, suddenly do not respect the policies, how can a rating even get to not respect the policy?

I know in the past there were some reviews problems that unpublished content for allot of people and even for me, maybe this time is the same, some update that just broke my content.
Does anyone have any idea?

Hi @sucka

The news is that Google Maps started informing some of us about hidden reviews. The hiding is most likely not new. You were just not aware.

I can confirm from your public profile that you have added 232 reviews and only 230 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. And this post by ErmesT explains in more details why Google is hiding reviews.

If you are on a Desktop use this link to Count your hidden contributions. From a mobile device use this link.

You should be able to appeal the hiding of your 2 hidden reviews.

Cheers

Thank you very much for all your help, i had more reviews that were not posted but i fixed them all when i learned this is because of google’s algorithm to find fake content and somehow it believed my reviews were, after appeals or edits i fixed them all.
