My review has been removed thrice, atleast!!

My review for this movie MobKing (2023) was removed thrice. Title Link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13586204/?ref_=tt_urv

I was able to retrieve 2 of the permalink and contribution links from my mails where it appears to be approved. 

https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/240219-173613-476904?ref_=pe_3181150_242625130

https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/240212-172635-667804?ref_=pe_3181150_242625130

Review links:

https://www.imdb.com/review/rw9631421/?ref_=rw_urv

https://www.imdb.com/review/rw9618419/?ref_=tt_urv

May I know what is happening? It seems this fake rated abomination is being supported my IMDB.

Hi @subratjain1 -

Review was removed on both occasions since it's in breach of our guidelines. Please refer to point: 'Resist the temptation to review on other reviews or features visible on the page.'

Cheers!

Hi @subratjain1,

Your review (submission #240223-083342-793204) has been declined again. This is in relation to the guidelines breach mentioned above. We advise removing the first sentence relating to other reviews for this title and your review will then be acceptable for publication per our guidelines.

You can track the status of your user review submissions in the Contribution History Beta.

I hope this helps!

Hi @subratjain1,

The previous approvals were the result of processing errors. However, as you have edited your review per our guidelines, I can confirm your review is now acceptable for listing, is live on the title page and should not be removed.

Cheers!

Hi @subratjain1,

I can see that your review for the title previously discussed is still live on the site. If you are seeing otherwise, please can you provide details as to where you are seeing the review has been removed?

Thanks!

HI @Ozzy​ 

I put it up again for the 5th or 6th time before writing the comment. The thing is that when imdb removes a review there is no communication. So proving that a review is removed is impossible for a user. Please check if there's a log generated which might show it.

Hi @subratjain1,

Thank you for clarifying. Apologies for the inconvenience caused by your review being removed, however it has been appropriately reported for a breach of our user review guidelines. I can confirm that your review was reported and removed for mentions of other user reviews and/or features visible on the site. As such, we encourage to you re-submit your review without your closing mention of the title's rating by other users.

Cheers!

Hi @Ozzy

It again was removed, i have posted and modified it. May i know if this one is fine. 1 month ago you had confirmed that it was alright. Why is IMDB so hell bent on removing any review that doesn't praise this movie? There's not a single review out of 24 that has rated it below 9. What are you guys up to? 

Check this if you don't believe me: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13586204/reviews?sort=userRating&dir=asc&ratingFilter=0

May i know if this one is fine.

Hi @subratjain1,

The confirmation your review was within our guidelines I previously gave you was mistaken, apologies again for that. I can see that your latest submission is acceptable, has been approved and is live on the title page.

Please note, user reviews, positive or negative, that are detected or reported to be in violation of our user review guidelines are routinely declined or deleted. This applies to reviews for any title regardless of content, topic, country of origin or expressed viewpoint.

I hope this helps!

Hi @subratjain1,

Thank you for reporting this.

I have investigated further and identified the cause for your reviews for this title being reported. I have taken the appropriate action with your review being reinstated and it should no longer be reported for removal again. Apologies for the continued inconvenience until this point.

I hope this helps!

Hi @subratjain1,

Your review was reported for removal as previously mentioned, however due to privacy consideration, we are unable to provide any details regarding other contributions.

Thanks!

I am not asking about other contributions but only mine. Moreover, the exact same review which was removed has been reinstated. So, something was astray. May I please know why the review which was removed earlier, acceptable now?

@Ozzy​ I have to say, as an observer, I admire your consistency with your continued assistance here.  Being someone going through my own complication at the moment with one of my own reviews for a film being routinely rejected (for reasons I'm really struggling to guess/correct) I can appreciate this user's frustration. 

I'm encouraged to seek assistance on this forum, if need be, if it gets rejected once more.

Hi @subratjain1​,

Your review was reported for removal by another contributor. As it originally did not meet the guidelines, the reports were approved. However, the review was then incorrectly reported once the review was approved in accordance with our guidelines. Whilst we cannot provide any further details regarding another contributor's contributions, this is why your reviews were previously being removed, but as stated above, this should no longer occur. 

I hope this helps!
