More user comments missing

Dear Michelle,

over a year ago you helped me by listing all of my user comments that were deleted /removed from IMDb. 

could you please send me an update of this? 
This morning I submitted user comment 5.050, but when I connected later today, the number is suddenly at 5.042 

I think I have (again) a hater on my back. I’m sure more of them disappeared in the last months. 

I suppose nothing can be done about this? 
if you would be so kind to provide me the list, I’ll re-read before submitting again. 

Many thanks, 

Coventry (Sven)

I just noticed that a few of my reviews have been randomly deleted.  One was for the 1922 film "Foolish Wives."  I don't have the contribution number but I'm pretty sure I submitted that last year.  I am quite certain it did not violate any rules but I would appreciate someone looking it.  I think a few more are also gone but I'll have to think about what they were.

Hi,

Just today, twenty six reviews of mine were suddenly removed. Please can they be reinstated and measures taken to ensure it doesn't happen again, as this has gotten me really anxious. Thank you.

Hi,

Following on from my previous post about many reviews of mine being missing, I saw on another thread a comment saying that several films had all their user reviews missing. I investigated further, thinking that it would explain why I had a significantly lower volume of reviews. And I found that quite a lot of film titles, most of them silent films, had all their user reviews missing. Examples of the films in question being The Lodger, Faust, Nosferatu, Birth of a Nation, Intolerance, in fact most of the filmographies for the likes of DW Griffith and FW Murnau. Is there a reason for this

Thank you.

Will it be fixed? Or can I get a list of the deleted reviews? 
I notice other reviewers suffer from this too

Yeah, but he was a fraud, no? 
by the way, I noticed that for some old movies (Faust, Korkarlen, The Lodger…) not just mine but ALL reviews disappeared 🤔😞

The deleted user reviews are the result of what one might euphemistically call "operator error" or "human" error. In other words someone screwed up badly when performing a task that was intended to produce a different result. Full disclosure: that someone would be me.

We are working diligently to restore them (and by that I mean someone else is having to put in extra work at an ungodly hour to fix my mistake). I will post an update when the issue is resolved.

Thank you for your patience and apologies for the inconvenience. Hopefully everything will be back to normal soon.

Hi Giancarlo 

thanks for the explanations

several ones of my reviews are back, but I’m still missing some. The problem is that, out of 5000+ titles, it’s impossible for me to know which ones are gone

last year, your colleague Michelle provided me with a list of all deleted reviews, usually reported by others. Via them, I could adapt them and re-submit. 

can I still get a list like that? 
thanks

All missing reviews should be back now. If you still think anything is missing, please let us know and give us details (e.g. which title) so we can look into it.
