I hope they don't interfere with our reviews. Amazon removed hundreds of my reviews, years worth of reviews. So much wasted time and effort. A vast majority of my reviews were for books but many were for other items I had purchased from them. They refused to give me an answer as to what I did wrong. "We can't specify what you did but don't do it again", basically.

I never used the word "idiot" in my reviews and I always specified if I received an item free of charge.

I forgot to hit the imaginary "like" button on that post. If we could rate without a review Amazon could better suggest other books that may interest us, so that policy confuses me.

Why is amazon.com taking over the website. what about people outside of the US, I use the UK version of amazon, so the fact that the American version of amazon will control the site doesn't help.
