I understand why you’re upset. I’ll explain, point by point, why a moderation team might have removed that content and what you can do next (how to appeal and how to rephrase your message so it’s less likely to be removed).
Why your message may have violated guidelines
– Targeted harassment / abusive language: Phrases such as “Shame on you,” “disgusting behavior,” and calling the platform’s actions “vile” are direct insults aimed at specific people (authors and the platform). Most community policies prohibit repeated, targeted personal attacks and harassment.
– Celebrating or referencing death in a hostile way: Your lines “Shame on you for supporting a martyr. September 10th, 2025.” and “Rest in Peace Charlie Kirk.” can be read as referencing or celebrating someone’s death or implying a threat/timing. Platforms commonly remove content that praises, glorifies, or promotes violence or the death of an individual, or that could be read as threatening or intimidating.
– Potential implication of violence or intimidation: Including a date next to “Shame on you… September 10th, 2025” can be interpreted as menacing or as implying some action tied to that date. Even if your intent wasn’t to threaten, moderators often remove ambiguous content that could reasonably be read as intimidation.
– Review bombing / spam / coordinated posts: You said you “began to renew my reviews” and repeated similar messages across multiple author/book pages. Posting identical or near-identical hostile reviews across many pages is often treated as review-bombing (coordinated harassment) and may be removed as a policy enforcement measure.
– Policy on hateful or extremist content: If the message accuses people of supporting “martyrs” or extremist causes, or if it uses language that could be construed as endorsing or condemning politically/ideologically violent acts, moderation teams may remove it to avoid spreading extremist-related content. Even if your target is an author, references to martyrdom or violent events can trigger stricter review.
– Tone and professionalism: Platforms often expect public reviews to be about the product (the book) and the user experience. Reviews that focus on personal attacks against authors or the platform’s staff, or that demand explanations in an aggressive way, may be removed for being off-topic or abusive.
What moderators typically look for
– Is the content a product/service review or a personal attack?
– Does it contain explicit threats, praise of violence, or calls for harm?
– Is the same content being posted repeatedly across accounts/pages?
– Does it target a protected class, or does it use hate speech?
– Does it violate the platform’s specific review policy (spam, off-topic, harassment)?
How to appeal (practical steps)
1. Find the removal notification or email from Fable (it may include a reference or ticket ID).
2. Read the community guidelines / review policy linked in their message (or on their site) so you can reference the specific rule in your appeal.
3. Prepare a calm, factual appeal including:
– Your account name and the removed review(s) (dates, book titles, screenshots if you have them).
– A clear explanation of what you intended to communicate.
– If you did repeat the same message across items, explain why and apologize for the repetition.
– A request for clarification: ask which exact sentence or rule caused removal and whether a revised version could be allowed.
4. Send the appeal via their official support channel (help center or support email). Keep the tone polite and factual.
Suggested wording for an appeal message (short template)
Hi Fable Support — my reviews were removed for violating the guidelines. I want to understand what specific part of my posts was against policy so I can comply. The removed reviews were on [book/author pages] on [date(s)]. My intent was to express concern about authors’ public statements, not to threaten or harass. Can you point to the exact policy text and tell me whether a revised, non-repetitive review that criticizes specific statements (with quotes) would be allowed? Thank you.
How to rewrite the message so it’s less likely to be removed
– Focus on the behavior and evidence, not insults or threats.
– Don’t repeat identical wording on multiple pages — post once in a community post or a support ticket.
– Avoid implying a date of harm or celebration of death.
– Use specific quotes or links to the authors’ statements and explain why you find them harmful.
– Offer constructive requests: ask Fable to clarify policy enforcement or remove authors’ posts if they violate terms.
Example of a safer review you could post
I’m upset about certain public statements by [author name] that I find hateful/offensive. I’m leaving this review to say I can’t support authors who promote [briefly state behavior: e.g., “violent rhetoric” or “calls that appeared to celebrate X”], and I’d like Fable to clarify how it enforces its content policies. I support free speech, but I believe the platform should have consistent rules about promoting harmful content.
Why this version is better
– It states your objection clearly without personal insults.
– It avoids date-based implications or phrases that could be read as threats or celebration of death.
– It asks the platform for policy clarification, which is a legitimate request.
Final notes
– I can’t see Fable’s internal moderation logs, so I can’t say with certainty which single rule triggered removal — but the reasons above are the common ones platforms cite.
– If you want, I can help you draft a polite appeal to Fable support using the exact details (dates, titles) you provide, or rewrite one of your reviews into a non-violative version that still makes your point clearly.
