Recently I posted two reviews on Amazon.ca and both were rejected because apparently, I did not follow the community guidelines.

  from Carol Balawyder on April 13, 2023 Fairy Tales Do Exist More Than Coffee is a tribute of love to her family. It is an intimate look at her thirty-two-year-old marriage – a husband whom she met serendipitously by selling a fridge. The book is a mixture of prose and poetry with some touching lines.

 from Carol Balawyder on April 11, 2023 Odd but Loveable Character If I have dark circles under my eyes blame it on Carrie Rubin’s latest book, Fatal Rounds.

So, I wrote to Kindle Support:
I have read the community guidelines and can’t see anything that I violated for both of my reviews of Fatal Rounds and More Than Coffee.
Would you please explain to me specifically what I need to correct so that my reviews can be posted. This is the second time that you have blocked my review. I wrote to you about my review for Carrie Rubin’s Fatal Rounds asking what I had done wrong but you did not respond. Now, once again you are blocking me for Lauren Scott’s More Than Coffee.
After sending me a host of links I wrote back and got this as reply:
Hello,
I understand that you are requesting to remove review. Please allow me to elaborate we read the review and did not find that it qualifies for removal for violating our Community Guidelines
To which I responded:
Thank you for your response. However, you misunderstood my request.
The two reviews which I had posted Fatal Rounds by Carrie Rubin and More Than Coffee by Lauren Scott were rejected because they did not follow community guidelines.
Now, you are telling me that “we read the review and did not find that it qualifies for removal for violating our Community Guidelines.”
I do not want my reviews to be removed but want them to be posted.
Further, how can you talk about removing a review that was not posted?
Obviously, there is a mix-up.
Also, Amazon rejected my review for D.G. Kaye’s Words We Carry and Conflicted Hearts.
These same reviews were posted on Goodreads, which you can read by clicking the links below.
