If you fall victim to a troll, it will be your account that gets deleted.I had user MsCheap1 criticize my post in one of the public forums, call me a troll, and tell me to “stay in Indiana”. I emailed her in private, called her a “B”, and set her straight. My post was deleted due to someone’s hypersensitivity, likely hers. I reposted a more gently worded version. She posted a comment warning people about me. Flagged her comment as harassment and TripAdvisor did nothing. Instead, they deleted mine and somebody else’s subsequent responses addressing her post. Found an email for TripAdvisor and emailed them directly. They ended up shutting my account down.This was a clear-cut case of trolling, but I got the shaft and the troll got to keep her account. Despite being a level 6 contributor, TripAdvisor shut my account down without saying a word, and they won’t answer my emails. I’ve had other issues where they’ve arbitrarily taken my review down and dance around giving you an answer why. Usually, it’s a dangling “because your review does not meet our guidelines”. When you ask why it doesn’t meet their guidelines, they say because it doesn’t meet their guidelines.
