Appeal: My posts are hidden by the spam filter (Local Guide Bassam)

Subject: Request to review my hidden posts

Hi Moderation Team,

I am Bassam Fares Qunair, a Local Guide from Jordan. I noticed that three of my recent posts (including one about Petra and tourism) have been hidden by the spam filter. These are my original contributions and photos from my travels as a professional tour driver.

Could you please review and restore them? I want to share my local experience with the community.

Thank you for your support!

Hi @Bassam4 , are you talking about your posts in Connect, or contents published in Google Maps?
In the first case you should read: Why was my Connect content marked as spam?.
I haven’t seen your recent posts, but the fact that you mentioned your activity in tourism makes me think that you may have shared some links related to businesses.

Hi again, @Bassam4

Are you referring to posts here on Connect, or reviews on Google Maps?

If reviews, please share screenshots of them together with a link to the places on Google Maps.

I checked a few of your Maps reviews and found this


The photos are problematic for two reasons: your fingers are visible and the two photos are too similar.

Your reviews not really reflecting your personal experience. What did you experience? How did you like it, and why?

Description of the location is not really helpful, as people already found it on Maps.

In your profile text you mentioned supporting your son. Writing reviews of friends and families businesses can get us in trouble.

Additionally, as you posted about an issue, I want to inform that I changed the category of your post to Google Maps tips & tricks - Local Guides Connect

خلص ما بدي اغلبك شكرا لكم احبتي

As you asked, @Bassam4 , it would be helpful on any case to know where the issue mentioned by you is

This is about leaving helpful information for others to find on Connect. So please specify the issue and share relevant links.
