Hello,

My first post was marked as spam due to multiple edits. Here is the post link - https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/General-Discussion/Unraveling-the-gems-of-The-Tsunami-Island/m-p/1476725

Could you please help freeing this post?

Thank you.

@ChiragAshar Do not worry, someone from the moderator’s panel will review and release the post. The best thing to do, if one of your posts has been sent in quarantine, is to tag a moderator, here or here, for checking and releasing your post.

Hi @ChiragAshar

I just released your post from spam quarantine. Our filter is working to protect the community and you from unwanted content, but sometimes it can be triggered by something and remove a legitimate post.

Moderators are patrolling the quarantine to release the good post so, if your post has been rejected, don’t post it again. Simply tag a moderator (check here and here).

Hi @ErmesT , I got the same issue today - my first published post was marked as spam. Can you release it from the quarentine, please?

Thanks a lot!

I have released your post from spam quarantine @jani_zik , but I have to ask you to avoid the photos of children in the post. Like in Google Maps, no children please

jani_zik · April 11, 2019, 1:54pm

Thanks, @ErmesT , will do!

Hi @ErmesT

I’m new to Local Guides Connect and just posted my first story here.

The first post disappeared after a couple of minutes after it was published and getting a couple of likes.

Not being able to find the post (I thought I deleted it accidentally), I made the same post again, as I had the text in my Google Drive.

Now, the second is marked as spam and I can see 2 rejected posts with identical content.

Could you, please, take a look at my posts and release the 1st one?

All the photos in the post belong to me, if I suspect that the post was blocked because of the photos.

Thanks.

Fixed, @ulughbek

Hi, My first post of 2017 also marked as spam please help!

Hi @MutethiaW

If so, you have to reach out one of the moderators, and they can release your post.

In my case, I asked for help from @ermest and he quickly responded me.

Thanks!
