Today, we relaunched the “Hide Review” feature. This allows you to hide any of your Reviews from public view.

I don’t get it. I was using that feature since I joined, how is this new?

And a question: when hidden, could the review be seen by the author of the review?

It was there when you joined, but we took it down for a few months because it was causing problems.

The review is still visible to the author of the review….it remains in his public review ledger. Visitors who find your item have no way of finding his review. Visitors of his profile can still find your item.
