My most recent review was deleted without any notification?

My most recent review was deleted and I am unsure why. It was within guidelines, no profanity nor spoilers for that episode. I also had noticed that it was getting a lot of thumbs up. So I am curious as to why? And why there isn’t some sort of notification that it is being removed so you can appeal the decision.

Hi Busybee3232- Further investigating, as stated in our user review guidelines, a user review should focus on the title's content and context. Your review did not meet this criteria. Notifying contributors of a reported and removed submission is currently not a feature we support, we encourage you to make an Idea post here in the IMDb community, and if the idea is popular with other IMDb users, the post will be passed on to the relevant team for consideration. You are welcome to re-submit your review with more focus on the content of the title for our processing team to review. Cheers!

My review was up for almost a week, gained traction with other users because it reflected how many felt about that episode. It was a review based more on the emotion the episode brought to the fans and the whole show, not just a review of the episode scene for scene. I am confused how it could pass the original submission process and be considered fit, but taken down. My review of that episode focused on the title’s content by explaining that it was material that felt like it was mocking fans and their reactions. I’m shocked our reviews must be so starkly obvious, it was my opinion on how the contents of the episode impacted the show and fandom.

@Busybee3232- As mentioned, your review does not meet this criteria and specifically on the parts of "If we speak up, we're labeled "toxic," "entitled," or "too emotional." It's a lose-lose situation, and it speaks to a larger issue: fans are often seen as a resource to be mined, not a community to be respected. Television doesn't exist in a vacuum. The fans are the backbone..." and so on. You are welcome to edit the content of your review as per our guidelines and re-submit it.

This was very unhelpful. Thank you for absolutely no guidance whatsoever.
