Hi @adnansensoy
Sorry for the late reply. In the future please tag me when you reply, so that I will get a specific notification about the mention.
I am happy that you have no restrictions, and now I can see 1923 of your 4274 photos.
However this is not necessarily a good news.
Let me explain:
- The good news is that now that we know the situation you can appeal for having your hidden photos released.
- The bad news is that after the appeal, when the team will check your contributions, you will probably be banned in a few weeks and all your photos removed. There are so many violations in your visible contributions that the team will not have any other options than erase everything.
I cannot go in details making a list of what each photo is violating, but I will try to summarize them. Then it will be up to you to delete the contents before to fill the appeal form.
First of all, I want to give you a tip: Are you a Map user? I mean, as a user, will you find helpful what you are uploading in Google Maps? If you think as a user you may avoid a lot of mistakes. For more details you can read: Local Guides in The Mirror - How useful are our contributions?
Now let’s talk about the rules.
- Our contributions in Maps should clearly represent the location, in this way others can benefit of what we upload to better understand how the place is.
- We must not dilute the contents by adding similar photos
- We must not add the same photo or video more than once, and we cannot add the same photo/video in more than one place.
- Our content must be original: photos and videos taken by us
- Google Maps is NOT our personal photo album
With this in mind, as a “user” how would you consider the sequence of photos here below
Here below you can see:
- Four similar photo of the same place (redundancy)
- Three photos added in two different places (duplicate across location = Ban from the program)
- An irrelevant sequence of selfies
Are the photo here below (left) showing the Vip lounge at the airport? (Irrelevancy)
Is the photo on the right an original photo taken by you, or a screenshot from the web? (originality and copyright)
I think I don’t need to add other, and more impressive of selfies and irrelevant group photos for you to understand what you did it wrong.
Kindly remove all of them before to appeal. I think around 70% of your photos should be removed.
Then you can appeal using this form: Account investigation for contributions not visible on Google Maps
Oh, before I forget: Tiny planets are a not permitted alteration. A photo should be “real”.
Please remove them too. Nice for Instagram, but not for Google Maps
