Can someone please help me with what is causing this issue? I travel frequently, and like to share my experiences (almost always positive), but lately I get this message on every review I post. I am not sure what they are saying I am violating… I just usually post a review of my experience, along with photos and videos of the locations. I am a new user, and only have around 90 reviews. It wasn’t until I traveled to Norway that this began happening.

Hi @jcrichards12 “Welcome to Connect! If this is your first visit, you’ve come to the right place. This post will serve as a guide for everything you need to know about contributing content and engaging with the Local Guides community on Connect”. This is the first of the information that you will find in “Your guide to Connect” , the introductory Guide of the community. In there you will find all the necessary information to know how to better contribute in here.
Regarding your issue in fact comparing the counter of contributions and your public profile I can see that 8 of your reviews are not public. A review is filtered when the text, or a media attached to the review, is “apparently” violating the rules.
The filter is quite harsh, due to the high proliferation of fake reviews, but fortunately for the reviews posted in the EU you have more information and normally you can send an individual appeal for every single review…
Just click/tap on “details” to see if the review has been blocked due to the text (in such case you also have the “appeal” button available) or to the media. attached.
In the last case, sometimes you also have the option to appeal for the media. If you haven’t, the easy thing to do is to edit the review and to remove the media one by one, till you find the one that is causing the issue. In my case last one was a dish of pasta
Do you have a doubt about how to do something? The Help desk is here for you,with a long list of post with detailed indications on how to post.
Which kind of contents we share in the community? What are Connect topics? will give you an explanation
