I decided to join the group after watching Adriano's Youtube talk with Barry KDP and was struck by his comments regarding activities that registered as suspicious as they looked to Amazon like they were VA activities. I have been working on my book for a while but have not yet opened up a KDP author account. I opened up a 'normal' Amazon account last year as a precursor to opening an author account and also so I could join Book Bounty to gain credits for reviews on my forthcoming book. I spent a couple of months leaving reviews, free and paid books, but not too many. However after leaving a gap (6 weeks?) in between leaving reviews, the next review resulted in an 'all your previous reviews have been deleted - you are no longer able to leave reviews' message. I tried to leave a review yesterday on a book I purchased outside Book Bounty but the message was still there! Does anyone have any suggestions how I might be able to remove this message? - I might then be able to join Book Village. Also will this affect my ability to open an author account on KDP? Thanks in advance. Ed.
