Hi,

If I think correctly, following on Local Guides community policy, we can’t use Google name (in any case) or Local Guides (only if we describe that we are not channel or affiliated with Google) in our username, so I have one question - does that usernames are correct @DeniGu ?

Google Guide
joRnS henderson Google Maps Guide
Google Cowboy
Michael Google maps
Casa Arbol Austria - Google Agency
Ankit, Google Guider
Derek “Dr. Google” Bicksler
Google oF BahraiN
Google Google’s local guide
Mr Google
GOOGLE EDITOR
Alona Google Ads Expert, Yandex Expert
Naresh Sharma (Google Map Maker)
Mr Google
Julio Manuel Merino #LocalGuides
Local Guide Nível 9
Sezer Özyayla (The PLATINUM Local Guide)
LocalGuide PH
Local Guide

Thanks in advance.

Hi @new.user

Are you talking about your connect forum’s user name like “new.user”? I think there is no officially restriction to keep your user name google or localguises or mixed with these two names if the name is available. However, it’s better to avoid using these two names and use your others preferred name or your correct name to represent with other local guides in the forum.

Thanks for this list, @new.user
Let say that normally, for everyone’s privacy, we prefer not to publicly share links related to profile of other Local Guides, but as you already tagged a Googler let her to decide if delete it or not.
In any case the use of the name Google is not permitted by Google, as it is a Trademark.
This is the meaning of the post, @AbdullahAM , and can be clearly understood if you read it. My tip for you to to read the whole post instead of just reading the title, as I told you already. We are all happy that you want to help others, but I believe that responding without reading the content can create a lot of disappointment

Thanks for the clarification, I’ll just stop sharing links related to other Local Gudies profiles. I leave the editing of the first post to your discretion.

I read his post and understood before I replied. But ok, I will edit my reply.

Hello @new.user,

Please be advised that we will escalate the following accounts for using the “Local Guides” and “Google” name without formal approval. Thank you!

P.S. I removed the links from your topic to protect the users’ privacy and safety.
