The two posts I saw on this topic were actually from reviewers/readers who posted on FB--unrelated to this thread. The one specifically mentioned that while he was a longtime fan of the author, he was shocked to have gotten the email saying his review was being removed. He did say he followed the author on fb and did visit and comment on the author blog now and then. He was actually asking if anyone knew where Amazon came up with the connection and listed those two things as the only things he knew of where he was "in contact" with the author. The author may or may not have been indie. He didn't want to name the author for fear he was being "watched."
The other post was similar. In neither case do I know if the author was indie or trad.
I'm not trying to convince you or anyone else about whether or not to leave reviews or like or dislike the policy. I merely stated my own issues with the policies. I base my conclusions on the letters I've seen posted, the questions on various forums I've seen and also on author behavior and discussions on reviews as well as having had one review deleted from my own book (and that could be unrelated. I don't even remember the review or know who wrote it, whether it was good or bad. I just happened to notice that my reviews for the book were at 20 and are now at 19.)
