"Furthermore all the listing of my Reviews had already been approved, hence I have regarded the reviews made were within the guidelines of approval."

As TA get in the region of several thousand reviews a day they are initially auto approved. I have seen many reviews which have been posted which are obviously against TA's guidelines. If anyone sees a review which is against the guidelines then it can be reported - that is probably what happened to yours.

Probably you could see I contributed at least a hundred reviews. To my surprise, I had 17 reviews missing which 16 of them are categorized as Attractions and one Eatery place, and accompanied with at least a photograph with each of the review. On top of that, I am quite season with the guidelines, but what is of essence here is the experience being expressed into words.

Reviews can also be removed if a property is sold, or undergoes a major renovation. In those cases, the owners can request all the old reviews be removed.

However, I agree that TA should set up an auto-notification to contributors when reviews and pictures are removed. Currently, you're just left wondering what happened.

Jenazz, I agree with you, they should removed those non existing establishments, but what I reviewed is still operating and I iterate those places are eg, like Walking Street Pattaya, Singapore: Merlion Park, Singapore: Orchard Road, Singapore: Clarke Quay, Melaka: Jonker Street, Hanoi: West Lake, Bandung: Tangkuban Perahu, Ha Long Bay to mention a few that I reviewed.

I had been a dedicated contributor to TA for years,and really enjoy writing reviews, and then love seeing them actually posted.

Recently we have visited abu dhabi, and i posted reviews of restaurants, which appeared on my review list, but have now disappeared.

i have posted a great review on our hotel in abu dhabi which was brilliant, but they did not post it on the hotel site. I sent this review in 4 times, and when contacted they could not tell me why it is not being published.

i can confirm dates of stay, suite numbers et etc, but still they will not publish this WHY??

does anyone know.

the most annoying thing if you ring them, they just say email contentintegrity and they will reply - but the reply is always negative

WHY THE !!! IS GOING ON WITH THIS SITE

There are a number of reasons a review can go missing. Or several reviews. And repeatedly sending in the same review is counterproductive.

One reason is that a reviewer does not respond to an email asking them to verify that they wrote the review. Check your spam folder.

Another reason is that the auto filters have picked up something in the content of a review that causes it to be rejected. When you contact staff, they cannot interpret the reason because it was done automatically by a robot. When TA emailed you, what was the reason they gave. It is there, just needs figuring out.

If you would like to post the text of your review below, there will be quite a few regulars who will be able to trouble shoot.

It is also a better idea to start a new question when yours is different that the Original Post in a thread, and an old thread at that.

What does the reply say ?

You call them on the phone?

Does TA tell you the reviews do not follow the guidelines? Is that what you mean by "negative"?

Another reason reviews may be posted, then removed, is that any TA member can report them as being "inappropriate". This usually means they contain ethnic slurs or hearsay or something that is against the guidelines.
