Amazon has created a new filter that may prevent reviews from appearing on the site. Either as an author or a reviewer. It may fall in nearly everything in the romance section but mostly in erotica. You need to change the setting otherwise your review may be blocked. You need to check your privacy settings. To do so, log In to Amazon. Go to your account. scroll down to personalization. Click on your public profile. At the bottom of the page there will be a box telling you about the new filter. Click on the privacy settings link in the box. unclick HIDE SENSITIVE ACTIVITY. Save.

I saw this just the other day and had written a blog about it but...I'm now hearing (and think this is accurate) the only place the reviews would be blocked is on your own profile. Meaning, if I post a review for an explicit erotic novel and don't want my family to know about that review, I can hide it from my profile but it will still appear in the review section for that book. This sounds more like it to me and I'm hoping that's what it actually is.

Moved to author help.

yeah. I do hope is the case. It seems a bit too much of interference for me. I believe we need more info on it. Anyone who has something to add, please say the word.
