Another top review taken down for no reason.

I've been noticing random reviews taken down. Many have been restored by IMDb after it was determined they were removed incorrectly. I use IMDb to store all of my opinions. And then they are deleted. Without notice.

Here is another example. I found my review on an archival website, but it only archives the first page, so I was lucky it was on the first page. Otherwise it would have been lost forever.

It was THE top review with one of my highest helpfulness percentages (92 out of 107). It would likely have been one of my highest rated reviews. And to make it worse, I've read twice and can't possibly understand why it was taken down. It's very positive and friendly.

Please take a look and let me know what I'm missing. This is really frustrating. These decisions are alienating IMDb's most loyal users.

Hi @FeastMode,

Thank you for reporting this.

I have restored this review for you as I can see that it is acceptable per our user review guidelines. I am unable to provide an exact reason for why it was removed but I understand that this would have been a processing error. Your review will reappear back on the title page shortly.

I hope this helps!
