Why Were My Reviews Taken Down?

I reviewed at least 10 different companies yesterday, each of which being different and specific, but they were gone when I checked this morning, and my points taken away. What gives here? I'd been blocked from this site before, but the reviews I wrote then were copy-paste, which isn't the case this time.

Thanks for your question. I was about to email you an explanation but since you asked the question here I will go ahead and shed some light on this for you. Most of your reviews yesterday were very good and passed our moderation procedures. . On a few occasions yesterday your reviews were lacking just a little bit in detail. Remember when someone else is reading your reviews they need to get some detailed information to determine if the rewivew is of benefit to them while they are making their own determination. If you have a reviews that is similar to this: "I like Ford Cars. Have had very good luck with them in the past". A person reading that would not be able to get any information that would be valuable to them. If you can be sure to at least add a few details to each review you should be fine moving forward. Again, thanks for your efforts. Your contributions are valuable.

Since you didn't give any specifics at all regarding your reviews, I hope you realize it's impossible for another volunteer to give a specific answer to your question. You very likely could get an answer from HelpOwl itself, by writing to [email protected].
