How long does it take a hub considered by HP to be overly promotional to be considered resolved?
My hub in question is Flash Fiction and has 353 words. I put a couple of affiliate adds on and links to my other fiction writings. This is the same arrangement I use for my other Flash Fiction hubs, but it is the only one considered overly promotional.
At least one week ago I removed everything except the story. The Red Skull of Death still appears on my statistics page along with the title of my story. When can I expect it to go away. I finally republished since it is actually not in violation and I believe never was. Either that or all my fictions are in violation and not flagged.
Well, would you look at that? I post the question, then try yet again clicking on "check violations" at the bottom of the statistics page. It removed the icon this time. Sorry about posting the question. All is resolved.

Is there a balance of Amazon products on a page that makes a hub overly promotional? Or is it dependent on the individual hub (over and beyond the 50 words per product)?

Wouldn't it be nice if some explanation about the hub came with the above mentioned notices. All you get is the general notice that you hub is overly promotional or substandard and it needs to be fixed. If it is re-submitted and is not fixed properly you could be banned from...
