Two missing reviews and ongoing harrassment

Hi, 

This is user bethany, but I had to make another account due to password issues. On the 9th April, a review of mine was suddenly deleted without warning. On Monday another was removed.  I am a prolific reviewer (TheLittleSongbird) and have no idea which one it is, so can't provide contribution numbers. Please can both reviews be reinstated, as well as that for Barb Wire, as soon as possible. The harrassment/non helpfuls spamming on my and MartinHafer's reviews is also still ongoing. Can this please be looked into as well and dealt with? Thank you. 

Accepted Solution

Hi @bethany425 -

All 3 reviews have been reinstated, the 2 mentioned ones and a new which was for "Breaking Bad" (2008) {4 Days Out (#2.9)}.

The downvoting abuse and the attack in general are already being investigated and worked on by the appropriate team, we still don't have an exact date on when is this going to be completely solved. Please let us know if we can help you with anything else in the meantime.

Thanks!

@Bethanny​ Thanks again for all your helps regarding the reviews removals and downvoting abuse. I just wanted to update you to say that the downvoting abuse has happened again twice in the past two days, with all my reviews on the past three weeks being downvoted 1-3 times which has been really upsetting me. It has been happening with planktonrules too. Thank you again.

@Bethanny​  Hi. Thanks again for the reply and also for the list which was very helpful and much appreciated. I have noticed this in all my correspondence with the staff with this issue (which has happened a few times already this year) and it made it so much easier for the problem to be solved. Just in case you didn't see my two previous  replies, as I have just realised I had replied to myself pretty much, I would like the Barb Wire and Mr Monk and the Very Very Old Man reviews  reinstated please as soon as possible. Please also can the non helpful spamming on my (and other prolific reviewers') reviews, which has been under investigation since January, be looked into and dealt with once and for all asap, preferably the downvotes removed and further indefinate action taken against the account(s) responsible? It has been out of control now, with all my reviews from last Friday to yesterday being downvoted 1-5 times, all within hours of the reviews appearing on the site. Almost all for non recent titles and with no other reviews for every title affected. I would strongly recommend removing the being  able to vote yes and no via user profile function, now that we know that people with multiple accounts have been abusing it in targeting other users. Thank you again.

@Bethanny​ Hi, an hour or so ago anotjer review of mine was deleted. As well as the Barb Wire and Mr Monk and the Very Very Old Man reviews, can this review be reinstated as soon as possible please? On top of the non helpful spamming, these removals have been more frequent and it has been really unsettling and feels  like harrassment. Thank you.

Thank you for your response and so quickly, it is really appreciated. I would like the Barb Wire and Monk Mr Monk and the Very Very Old Man reviews reinstated please. Those are the only reviews on the list that you so helpfully provided that weren't removed by me. Can the downvoting abuse on my and MartinHafer's reviews be looked into as well please ( I do know from my last correspondence with Michelle a few weeks ago that it was still under investigation since first reporting it in January) as it is causing me a lot of anxiety which I don't need at the moment? And has been the worst it's been in a while, with all my reviews from last friday to yesterday being downvoted 1-4 times, almost all non recent titles with no other review for each title affected. Thank you again.

Just in case anybody didn't see, I have asked please to have the Barb Wire and Mr Monk and the Very Very Old Man reviews reinstated. And also please to have the ongoing non helpful spamming on my and other prolific reviewers' reviews addressed and dealt with (the votes removed preferably and further action taken against the accounts). Thank you.

@Bethanny​ Hi Bethanny. Just to say that another review was just removed. Can it please be reinstated. The non helpful spamming on my and planktonrules reviews is still happening and has been really bad this week. Thank you.

@bethany425​ Hi-

Apologies for the delayed reply and an updated information on this issue. We are working through a backlog of threads.

The downvoting abuse and the attack in general have been taking care of by the appropriate team. 

Please, let us know if we can help you with anything else in the meantime if you see another of your reviews that was removed.

Cheers!
