Suddenly deleted review

Hi,

This afternoon, a review of mine seems to have been abruptly removed/deleted with no warning. As a prolific reviewer, I have no idea of which review it is so cannot provide a contribution number. But this is to ask you to please reinstate the review and do something to ensure it doesn't happen again? I have had enough problems as it is in regard to my reviews and enough problems in my life, I can do without anything else bothering me. 

Thank you and kind regards

Bethany

@Maya​ Hi Maya. Here is my first reply to you again, just in case you haven't seen it yet. Here is the link to my profile: TheLittleSongbird's Profile - IMDb

I am quite anxious for this issue to be sorted out please as soon as possible, it's not a nice feeling finding that a contribution is removed suddenly for reasons unknown when you work so hard on what you contribute to the site. Removed reviews of mine have been reinstated in the past even if it takes some time, and I hope this will be another instance of that. I and some other prolific reviewers have also been long term targets of serial down voting spamming  from a person/group of people with sock puppet accounts most likely  on our reviews on a regular basis, at its worst since early January in terms of frequency and the number of times every week. This issue, which is still happening, has been with great appreciation acknowledged by Michelle on here when I raised awareness of it  and as far as I'm aware it's being  investigated. Are there any updates on how the investigation is going and what is going to be done about it, as those that have been particularly badly affected are finding what is clearly abuse and harrassment  really anxiety inducing? Thanks and thank you for responding as quickly as you did.

If any of your User Reviews associated with the above titles were not removed by you and you believe were incorrectly removed, let me know and I can investigate them further.  In the meantime, concerning the abuse you initially reported on this thread, I reviewed the related ticket and can see that it is still active pending investigation.  I have made a comment on the ticket to confirm that the behavior is still occurring.

@Michelle​ Hi Michelle. Thank you so much for the reply, which has been very helpful. Of the above, only the reviews for  The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends (accidentally reviewed the wrong title), Quarry (same), The Rogue Song, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (self deleted when my deleted original review was reinstated), Thais (self-deleted when I found out that the title I had submitted already existed as a series which was not realised at the time), Snow Place Like Home, The Foul Kin, Quarry, Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol,  A Godwink Christmas (all deleted as  I resubmitted the reviews when the originally written ones took so long to pend but then were  eventually approved) were self-deleted. The others were not removed or reported by me and I don't feel any of them should have been reported or removed. Thank you for the update as well regarding the harrassment/abuse, that is much appreciated and puts me more at ease. Thank you again.

Hi Michelle. Also have remembered that the Lewis Reputation review was also self deleted, when I had reviewed the show without realising that the title was for the pilot and not the whole show. I have since written reviews for all the episodes including a new review for that episode listed as part of the show. Die Zauberflote was removed, but I since submitted the review again with no problem. I accidentally wrote two reviews for Clash by Night I remember and have deleted one since.  I have found it was my reviews for Fred the Movie, The Walking Dead Judge Jury and Executioner, Don Pasquale, Mr Monk and Little Monk  and New Tricks The Last Laugh that were deleted/removed, and not by me. Can they be reinstated please, as the episode ones were part of review all episodes of shows quests?

Hi bethany -

Thanks for confirming the above, I have now reinstated the User Reviews (aside from the reviews that were intentionally removed), these should be back live on the site shortly.

Cheers!

Hi, 

Since an hour ago, four of my reviews have gone missing. I have no idea which so cannot provide contribution numbers. Please can all four be reinstated? I am feeling really panicked, because not since 2018 have that many reviews been removed so suddenly in such a short space of time and I don't know what I've done wrong. 

Thank you. Here is my profile: TheLittleSongbird's Profile - IMDb

Note: This comment was created from a merged conversation originally titled missing reviews

Hi @bethany​ -

I was able to identify that the recently removed User reviews were for a handful of episodes of "Breaking Bad".  These were reported as duplicates, likely because they were structured very similarly to one another, however, I was able to distinguish slight differences between them and I have now reinstated them.

Cheers!

Thank you Michelle. I can totally understand the removals and the reason why (I did guess that that was the reason, due to being taken to task for it a few years back,  and that they were for episodes of one show judging by the short time frame of the removals). And they were indeed written during the brief period, now long behind me,  where I admit I did get repetitive and admittedly lazy in my writing. Which I do regret sincerely, did apologise for,  and have made every effort to address by not doing it again, have done for a long time  and will  continue to do so.  Thank you again.
