Appeal a Decision on Your Account
Ask a different moderator to look again when writing is paused on your account or it's been closed.

- Open the account menu and select Your profile.
- Go to Your Account's Standing and find the decision.
- Read the guideline it names and what we told you.
- Select Ask us to look again.
- Under Why should we look again?, say why in at least 20 characters, and select Send the appeal.
Good to Know
- Appeal within 30 days of the decision. A different moderator decides.
- A person always decides, never our checks alone. Decisions go from a warning, to writing paused for a while, to an account closed after earlier warnings or for something serious.
- Businesses are never told who was warned or paused.
- To ask again about a single removed review, reply to our email about it within 30 days and say why.
If Something Goes Wrong
- There's no Ask us to look again button. The 30 days have passed, or the decision has already been looked at again.
- New reviews of one place are paused, not your account. That's a pause on the page when unusual numbers of reviews arrive at once. It ends on its own.
