After 6 months my post of a church was removed because I was taking advantages of it. Dear me .

Absulute shame acusing me of taking benifits for publish a Cathedral. Completly fed up of apealing and seeing restored after months. Shame…

Hello @ArturVictoria (just pasting my response from minutes ago)

Sometimes the AI removes ever older photos with many views. This is not related to the current issue with the views. It seems, the reason is that they not only analyze a single photo or video, but also the general behavior, for example duplicate or very similar images which is even worse, when they are attached to different pins. As usual, they don’t give as any explanation why, this might help spam or fraud attempts to bypass those checks.

Did your try to click the exclamation mark? Doing so it shows a short very general description, but sometimes there is also a link to request to a reversal of this.

Months ago, I had several of those case, but mostly gave up and deleted the pictures. After that, I didn’t see any hidden images anymore.

So far, my three cents, but I am sure @MortenCopenhagen can tell you more.

@ArturVictoria

Everyone is welcome to air their frustrations as long as polite and respectful language is used.

If you want help, kindly explain the issue:

Was your post a review, or a photo, or did you add the Cathedral to Google Maps as a new place?

Please include the Maps link if possible from a desktop computer.

If a photo or review, please share a copy in a reply below.

Cheers

Morten

@MortenCopenhagen

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes the apeal I did and the post and photos were restored.

It happen again with an old post removed and now with apeal.

One problem that takes Our voluntary will down its these issues.

I would say that along time posts are taken out and after apeal its restored.

However its a bit anoying to have several episodes like that" Out" apeal and “In” again.

Wish you all the best. Greatings from Portugal
