Is there some way for a user to find out WHY?
This is (was) a local guide with 15 thousand contributions, it is a bit weird to kick him out without a reason, isn’t it?

Fill out the APPEAL FORM if you really baned and wait the response from Google

Good Luck
I have one theory, it might be because on the new Pixel phone there was a second account for security reasons (all passwords on an account that isn’t used anywhere else so that banking etc passwords can’t be leaked) and by accident maybe a dozen times something was posted from that account. When it pops up with a suggestion for a review you don’t notice which account is asking for it.
Anyway I deleted those dozen contributions, hopefully some human in Google will weight that against 25 million photo views and all the other stuff done over the past decade.
Hi @DataFox
It is not against the guidelines to have two Google accounts. But you can not have 2 accounts signed up to the Local Guides Program.
Suspended local guides can find help in my tutorial called How to Get In and Out of Trouble as a Local Guide.
Remember:
Best of luck

Yeah, didn’t know that. It was just a few contributions done by accident, deleted them now.
Hii @DataFox First of all delete all suspicious activity which you have made in past. Than after fill the appeal form. I wish you could unbaned soon
Thanks, yes, hopefully it is the half dozen posts by accident from the wrong profile.
The only thing it doesnt let me delete is a few edits on place names etc
You received a lot of great indications here:
All this will be very helpful, but on the same time it will be useless as you stille violating one of the main rules: according to the Local Guides Program Terms and Conditions : “Contributions to Google Maps must originate from a single Google account to count towards benefits and cannot be transferred between owned accounts”
It means that, till you are a Local guide with This Account, there is no way even to check your profile, as you are violating the rules for the simple fact of being a Local guide with this account. Please leave the Local Guide program with this profile ASAP
Great point, ok, but how do I leave connect now?
