What's the point of continuing to submit reviews if they are not published?

Level 8 local guide here.

OK points are still awarded but I thought the main purpose of the reviews is to help others by providing relevant and useful information . All was well until just over three months ago. I’m losing my motivation to continue. Is anyone else here else in the same situation? I reported the issue a few days ago via the form provided here.

I agree.

If you want help, please share the link to your unrestricted Maps profile.

Maybe, there are things you can do to fix this.

Thank you.

As for what I can do, I’ve read all the guidelines and restrictions and can’t see where I’ve fallen foul of any. I’m not doing anything differently now than before. I’ve been living in the Philippines for the last three and a half years. I use a VPN for security reasons. Over the past couple of weeks, most of my reviews have not been published and my photo views have flatlined. I’ve tried with and without VPN.

I’ve already submitted the form provided in another of your posts so that it can be investigated but of course I’ll be grateful for any additional help or suggestions.

No @Dulce1, I’m not in the same situation. I rarely submit reviews, but when I do, they’re always accepted.

I can only echo what @MortenCopenhagen has said, that we can’t see anything in your private profile, so we can’t give any advice on what you’re doing wrong.

Thanks for the link to your profile.

You have added 176 reviews and currently only 160 of them are public.

There are very recent reviews from you so it is not correct that you are blocked from posting reviews.

Your reviews and photos looks great. High quality.

Maybe you are not aware that the approval process for reviews changed this August. See All photos posted since yesterday marked with "Not posted"

Now reviews with media can take a couple of days. Especially attached videos can take up to a couple of weeks to get checked.
