Why did my Negative Review Disappear?



I left a negative review, but I saw that Google removed it. How did this happen?
Google has a strict [policy](https://support.google.com/local-guides/answer/7400114?hl=en) on the kinds of content that can be left in a Google Review.  


Here is a list of content not allowed in Google Reviews and on Google Maps.  


**Spam and Fake Content**  

In the world of Google Maps, spam and fake reviews are quite common to find. Some ways to tell if a review is spam or fake is by checking the profile a review came from. You can see the history of reviews left on the profile. If someone left 30 reviews for 30 different law firms, they are either extremely unlucky or fake.


**Off-Topic Content**  

Reviews should be about a personal experience involving the specific location. Reviews should not turn into a forum or a personal rant.


**Restricted Content**  

The content in reviews must uphold the laws in the area. Links to landing pages pointing to restricted goods, email addresses, or phone numbers to purchase illegal products and promotional offers for restricted products are against Google policies. Images of menus and images where alcoholic beverages are present but are not the main focus are fine.


**Illegal Content**  

Any images that infringe on anyone's legal rights, including copyright, sexual abuse imagery, dangerous or illegal acts, illegal products and services, graphic images or content backed by terrorists are against Google policies


**Terrorist Content**  

Terrorist organizations are not permitted to use Google review service for any reason, including recruitment. If posting content related to terrorism for an educational purpose documentary, scientific or artistic purpose, be sure that the audience understands the context.


**Sexually Explicit Content**  

All sexually explicit material is not allowed. Any content relating to children will be removed but reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and law enforcement.


**Offensive Content**  

Any content containing obscene, profane, or foul language will be removed.


**Dangerous & Derogatory Content**  

Threats or advocates for harm to themself or others will be removed. Harassments, intimidation, or bullying will be removed. Any review that incites hatred promotes discrimination of an individual or group for ay reason will also be removed. 


**Impersonation**  

Individuals on Google Maps are not allowed to mislead or deceive others with false representations. Do not claim to represent anyone or any company unless you were given the authorization to do so.


**Conflict of Interest**  

Do not review your own business. Do not leave reviews about current or former employees. Do not post content about a competitor to manipulate their ratings.
the score has been removed. thank you so much for your replies! i just got my results!! all cleared. Hi Kalpesh, 
  

  
If you have not access your Gmail account for over 9 months, it is likely that Google has deleted it from its server. In this situation, you cannot use or recover that account. However, you can try following the steps [described here](https://ccm.net/faq/9225-how-to-recover-gmail-account). 
  

  
Thanks! problem solved, are a some configuration settings in google cloud, but it’s fine now it’s generic. it’s good or bad. i got the same email before getting hired at google. it could also be a rejection. good luck! hi there, can you pm me your uphold email address? i can look into your account and issue you a refund. :slight\_smile: you will see by their name their little smile face will be grayed out, other wise you've been added to their list. they can always remove you though without you knowing once they've added you. You will need to complete the [reinstatement request form](https://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/p/AD-FnEy1ETn5Xv42uyjxQFcfHsaMlTfPRNmtZDLs8WRYjJs77WSeFqeFdfzGsOlbRFPFXdTiDv-IoMk-aAJbGu5JVpVaeWNUyF03DLb4wbNNnrRQyV-6IyeI-Xf_gO6IAN8). Google will get back to you once they have reviewed your request. Please only submit one reinstatement request per listing, or else it will slow down the process. I was actually commenting to myself just today that I hadn't seen one of those notices in a while! I had assumed that it was because all my skills were very weak but I strengthened them and still no annoying notification! I am so glad it's not prompting me to translate anymore, although it does detract from the encouragement factor. I was always happy to see the percentage I could read go up. send it to electronics recycling. why annoy yourself with bad performance.
