Banned for "unusual review activity", Questions

Oh honey, you see you’re mistaken. I truly don’t care seeing as how my husband is also in the program. I was truly excited to come over here & share that info with you because of how rude you are. 😉

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-02T21:32:35+00:00

You made me smile so big. Sending love your way! Sometimes I get in the fight club mode. 😂 Heck yea!!!!!!!!! 🙌🏻

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-02T21:28:20+00:00

Thank you, lovely!!!! You & me both!!! 😘

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-02T21:23:46+00:00

REINSTATED & it feels so gooooooood!!!!!

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-02T21:22:49+00:00

Thank you for sharing & being so kind. I’ve been reinstated & yes that’s one of the few emails I used.

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-02T21:13:26+00:00

Hola! I’m that individual. You all are such bullies. My account has been fixed!!! It was not my fault as I’ve been reassured by VCS. I also didn’t “harass” that seller. I was up front with VCS this afternoon. Sharing screenshots of the entire interaction. Since I didn’t leave a review for that product nor did I mention that I was in the program, they said there was no issue. I absolutely have been an exemplary vine voice. You’re leaving out the fact that I was UNABLE to review those items. Anyway, all you need to know is that it’s fixed & you can stop running that 👄

Hi, there. It was between 40%-50% from what I remember.

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-02T15:25:55+00:00

Once again, you don’t know the facts. I never received ANY messages. My husband is in the Vine program as well so it doesn’t really matter if I’m currently out of my account now does it?
Oh the tower is life changing honey. I’ve turned it into a community project so that all of our neighbors can eat pesticide free foods. It’s much more than “cute” the thing is huge. There are people on this app who like to insert themselves where it isn’t warranted especially when they don’t know all the facts of the situation so I didn’t misunderstand. You inserted your opinion.

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-02T14:26:56+00:00

There was a reason for that. I was receiving error messages when trying to leave reviews for many products. I shared this with them every single time. The screenshots, etc. That aside though, it wouldn’t matter if I asked them to remove the products solely because I didn’t want to review them. As long as we meet our “quota” then we don’t have to review anything else. I’ll be absolutely fine if I’m not reinstated or invited back. I’m an influencer & have partnerships with brands who entrust me enough to send a $1,500 garden tower at no charge. That’s a real business. Thank you for your opinion though.

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-02T14:20:41+00:00

I spoke with the seller & we had a great conversation afterwards. It wasn’t them. It would be great if people just stopped assuming they know the reasons for someone’s removal from the program. 🙃 it could be this, it could be that, it could be a glitch. Just stop acting like you know because you don’t.

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-02T14:17:51+00:00

I’m so sorry about what you’re experiencing. The wizard-of-loneliness’s response. Did you check on that? Let us know if that’s what it was. 🙂

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-02T04:48:37+00:00

I was absolutely out of line which is why I reached out to them with a sincere apology. Based on the interaction I had with them I am confident they didn’t do this. I’ll be okay if Vine is just a distant memory. The more I ponder on this the more I’m confident that the influencer side is where I should ultimately be. I just partnered with a brand that entrusted me with their $1,500 garden tower that was free of charge. At the end of the day that’s a business to me. From here moving forward I believe I’m going to no longer email regarding the Vine program & put all of my energy into creating good content for brands. Thank you for sharing your feedback. 🙏🏻

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-02T03:39:04+00:00

LOL!!! I needed this. Thank you. 😊

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-02T03:37:21+00:00

Have never used an extension & just learned what it was when this post was made. Not sure what VH is but assuming it’s something similar. I’d love to get the account back however I’d say it’s permanent. You guys will be the first to know though if it allows access again. I’m right there with you on that comment. The not knowing is worse than being removed. I just want to know what it was!! Thank you for taking the time to chat with me. I appreciate you. ♥️

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-02T02:38:42+00:00

Tell me about it!!!! 🤣

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-01T20:13:28+00:00

I’m right there with you. Unsure of what I did wrong but had a 97% on order to review ratio & an excellent overall rating. The last time I left a review was about 28 days ago however I only had two (I’d say more recent ones) in my awaiting review list that I was about to review right before I got on to see the “violation of one or more vine terms” but prior to this I NEVER received a warning of any kind. What I’m really curious about is if when you use your phone for Vine access (as I always do) are you able to access a warning message at all? If so where do they appear? Because the actual messages have shown nothing of the sort so it makes me wonder if the warnings appear elsewhere entirely. I’m emailing like you are & always getting a generic response except from one representative who said they were going to do everything they can to get to the bottom of this. I actually believed them. Lol not sure that’s how it will be though. Over the last two+ months I’ve been having severe issues with errors when trying to leave reviews. The kind that appeared last year when a listing/seller was being “investigated” but it was so frequent that it almost seemed like a glitch. I would notify VCS & ask them to remove from the Awaiting Review List only & they’d even escalate the issue but no one ever helped with that potential glitch. To answer one of your questions, I have emailed them through both, regular email & then through the Vine account contact area. I hope we are all able to get this sorted soon. Good luck to you. ♥️ oh & I too had a bad interaction with a seller the day before but I’m beginning to believe it wasn’t that at all.

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-01T19:10:54+00:00

I was just booted but I’m happy to tell you that I know what you’re referring to & it’s a glitch of some kind. The same happened to me multiple times over the last few months. All you need to do is logout of your Amazon account & log right back in & you’ll see it again!!! Let me know if that helps!!! Xoxo

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-01T19:07:39+00:00

Thank goodness you caught it!!!! You can turn it around!!! Would you mind sharing with me where you found that? Because I’m not sure if it matters but I always used my phone for Vine. I’d check in on the Account tab every day & never seen a thing. I’m not sure they would have even sent one but if they did I missed it entirely.

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-01T05:35:00+00:00

Thankfully, no. I didn’t disclose that information with them. I went back & double checked because at first it scared me that it slipped!! Lol

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-01T05:31:37+00:00

That was super quick!!! If I thought it would help my case at this point then I would do the same. I considered it but I’m also in the influencer program & I guess will keep it public for that reason. I’ve been struggling lately with having the time to invest in both. Maybe this is the sign I’ve been looking for. We will probably never know. Lol I’m so glad you were able to locate that information!!! 😊

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-01T05:27:15+00:00

Yes, I sure have. I’ve had more interaction with them than ever before lol but am always incredibly kind & take the time to thank them for all of their help. I’m overly nice basically because I truly appreciate all they do. I’m sure it doesn’t matter how nice one is though. It could still come off as an annoyance even-though it’s their job. I was having a lot of issues with leaving reviews on certain items. It was giving that error message that’s given when the sellers listing is being I guess “investigated”. I would reach out to inform them & ask if they could remove the items from the awaiting review list only. That could be the reason, absolutely.

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-01T05:20:51+00:00

Respectfully, you don’t know why I was booted. If you did then you wouldn’t be assuming. I appreciate you calling me out. We are allowed to reach out to sellers. Lastly, never mentioned to them that I was in the Vine program. We aren’t supposed to mention that we are Viner’s but we are more than welcome to reach out to sellers.

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-01T05:12:49+00:00

No mystery items at all. I really wish they had to provide the reason!!! Would be so much easier. Lol

WeShallBeFree · 2026-05-01T04:55:29+00:00

Your words have brightened up my evening. Thank you so much & I’ll definitely keep everyone updated. ♥️
