This just came recently to my attention, but for some reason the reviews I leave for businesses are not showing up anymore for the broader public. I’ve been a reviewer for years and never had this issue, can a moderator or admim guide me towards what I need to do to have this restriction lifted? This is really disheartening and unexpected as I’ve never done anything in violation of any of the policies and had even accumulated plenty of likes and views in my prior reviews.
Hello @JoniHaxhi welcome to the Local Guides community!
I can see that 14 of of your 16 reviews are public, therefore your profile has not been banned. The two hidden reviews were most likely rejected by the AI filter, which checks all of our contributions not only for obeying the rules, but also for possible SPAM. If you can provide a screenshot of those hidden reviews, possibly some local guide or moderator can give you some hints.
Hi @JoniHaxhi , welcome to Connect
What do you exactly mean?
Like @WilfriedB said, 14 of your reviews are publicly visible (the last one just edited a few minutes ago), while 2 of them are hidden on your public profile.
Are you referring to the 2 reviews that we cannot see, or to ALL your reviews?
If you are referring to 2 reviews, this is most probably due to the action of the filter. Considering that you didn’t attached photos to them the first step is to check if the reviews are adhering to the guidelines (e.g. no phone numbers, no URLs, no harsh words) and sharing a real experience. After that you can just try to edit them a bit, to see if in that way the reviews are published.
If you are not able to see any of your review, we may need more details
