Title: Amazon did not like my review
Post by: Flossieteacake on June 04, 2023, 11:54:17 AM
I posted a review of Seabuckthorn capsules on Amazon saying they really help vaginal dryness. Amazon sent me an email to say it cannot be published due to obscene language! I did not realise the word 'vaginal' was obscene.  :o

Is it an automated reply, set to weed out personal information ? 

Do U have the name of the manufacturer, mayB let them know directly.

No. Amazon check all reviews before being posted and my other reviews were posted. Looks like the word 'vaginal' is considered obscene and perhaps I should have put 'intimate dryness'.  ;D

Try that and let us know.  Probably 'read' by a man ?

Oh my word Flossie. How ridiculous. I'll bet you've actually helped a lot of women by bringing seabuckthorn to their attention for this debilitating condition.
Honestly, what next?  :beat:

I doubt it's been seen by any human, it'll be automated software that rejects anything with words from a  list of banned words.

And yet .... you can buy 'Me and my Menopausal Vagina' and 'The Vagina Bible' from Amazon 🤷‍♀️. If you were writing a book review for one of those, it must be very hard work avoiding their automated censor.
The world's gone mad  ;D

Mmmm! If you have been censored for ‘obscene’ language, then the adverts for products to help with vaginal dryness on tv must be obscene too! They must use algorithms.

I think they must do. One of my words was censored on here earlier. I was describing how I was itchy but used a word you may use to describe hedgehog spikes. The software must have thought I was being rude and censored it. Looks like I am getting quite the reputation...

It was p.r.i.c.k.l.i.n.g. That was the way I was describing my skin. I have never read an erotic novel let alone written one. ;D

Does this say more about the person who wrote the software?? Without the 'ling' on the end there's one offensive meaning and several innocent ones. With 'ling' on the end is there a meaning I'm too innocent to have heard?  ::)  Or do they have a dirty mind?
