Ambitious profiles are spreading like a cancer

Google Maps tips & tricks
1

Hello Local Guide champions,

I see more and more ambitious profiles that start following LG (please see the attached screenshot). These profiles have links that are clearly linked to pornographic or sex sites, which is against Google’s intentions and the standards that we as Local Guides should follow.

Please check your followers and if you find any of these kinds, by clicking on the three points in the profile, tap report. In the drop-down menu that follows, select the first option “Offensive, hateful, or sexually explicit”.

Help us keep google map free from these variants which are most likely created by some robots or intelligent programs.

All the best

Hi @I-am-Q

This has been noticed by some of the moderators already.

If you PM me the profile link I will escalate is also.

Cheers

@I-am-Q

Just go to my profile page here on Connect and there is a Send private message link towards the bottom of the page.

Sent the bunch of links if you still have them.

Cheers

@MortenCopenhagen I am getting error while sending PM, and now it seems that I have reached the max number for today … I wonder why, but anyway. The error said to be caused by http format of the links in the body message …

Cheers
