What Reviews Can Be Removed or Disputed?

Not every negative review qualifies for removal — but many fake, inaccurate, and policy-violating reviews do. Here's what typically qualifies for a dispute:

  • Reviews from people who were never actually customers
  • Competitor or conflict-of-interest reviews
  • Defamatory reviews containing false statements of fact
  • Harassing or abusive review content that violates platform rules
  • Coordinated review bombing or bad-faith rating attacks
  • Misleading star ratings tied to false narratives or account abuse

The Review Mediator documents the violation, files the dispute through the correct platform channel, appeals denials, and supports broader reputation recovery when needed.
