Reviews randomly being deleted

@Maya​ I could only locate one of them, which is the most recent one. #230420-043638-758104

Hi @Duderocks5539​ -

I reviewed this specific User Review and can confirm that it was removed because it was in violation of our guidelines, specifically regarding the usage of profane words.

I hope this helps!

@Michelle​ I don't recall using any cuss words in it, nor do I understand why it would still just disappear without any warning. Can you restore it if I can change some things? I really don't want to repost something I posted almost 2 years ago.

Hi @Duderocks5539​ -

Keep in mind that in addition to cuss words,  our profanity guideline also includes offensive/inappropriate terms.

When a User Review is reported and removed, we do not provide a notification.  In these instances you will need to resubmit the User Review.

@Michelle​ Are you saying you along with anyone else at IMDb don't have the capability to restore it even if its edited to remove or censor items that don't meet guidelines? I really do not want to repost it as I had upvotes on it that kept coming in as I pretty much was exposing an episode of a TV show that was misogynistic and I tried to get the word out as much as possible using IMDb. 

Past times when I edited or changed things on the review, I had no issues meaning all previous times it meet guidelines, this last time when it was deleted, I only added a small paragraph that contained no inappropriate words before it was removed. 

Hi @Duderocks5539​ -

Under certain circumstances Staff can reinstate a removed User Review, although it is rare.  In this case, I have made a one-time exception, I removed the inappropriate term and have reinstated it live on the site.

I hope this helps!

@Michelle​ Thank you, what was the term that was removed?

Hi @Duderocks5539​ -

The text line that included the term "whore".

I hope this helps!

Indeed the word "whore" has for a long time been rather pejorative and certainly colloquial for "prostitute" or even "sexually-promiscuous person". Strange to see that not everybody is aware of this.

@Michelle​ Ah ok, I could've at least changed it to "prostitute" instead.  

@Michelle​ On an unrelated note, on a Computer, is there a way to view down votes on reviews? When a review is shown as a featured review, it will show downvotes, but what about for each individual review when on the reviews page? 

Hi @Duderocks5539​ -

My apologies for the delayed response.  Just circling back here, there is not an option to sort or filter User reviews based on "Helpful" or "Unhelpful" votes.
