Hello,
i posted in local stories today about my city for my connect live application. My photos from the post are showing on my profile but my post is not there. I posted links within the post, could it have been marked as spam? I did put links in it to help describe what I was referring to. I was not promoting a business or anything. I know the post was live because I included the link in my connect live application but now the post is gone. Please let me know what I need to do to get it back.

Hi @ErmesT I also has my first post for the connect love application marked as spam. The second one too.
Please can you help me?
Best regards,

Yes, I see @karim_lima
addressing to external commercial links, adding content that is not originally yours, adding contents not related to Connect topics can have this result.
Here below a few link that will explain what to post in the community

Hi there,
I had the same problem. The important thing is that I applied 2019 Local Guide Connect Event which requests the applicant to post an article on this website.
Iāve given the link of my post, however, I found something wrong today, the post on Local Guides Connect that isnāt available by others.
I can see it but when I log out, it couldnāt be found. It means the link is just available by me.
I donāt want to lose my qualification at this event.
And I truly got two badges at that time to prove that Iāve done the mission.
Whether the event holder still can see my post or not. Please help me. Iād really appreciate that.
Thank you very much. Cheers Yu-Ching

Hi @YuChingYang

Hi Ermest, I published 3 posts: text + photo + external link. All went well.
Only after - Iām new here - I realized that I can insert the videos in the post. So I edited all the posts: deleting photo and links, add the video (YOUTUBE). After this all 3 my posts are marked as spam.
Today I published a new post with the video andā¦ marked as spam.
Can you help me? Iām a reporter and I produce documentaries all over the world, and I would like to shere my documentaries here.
Thanks
Cheers

āThe Local Guides program is for individuals, not businesses. Contributions from businesses or business pages will not count toward Local Guides levels or benefits.ā This and more information about Local Guides program can be found on the Local Guides help page
From Your Profile I can read: āKiss From The World Channel is dedicated to creating the highest quality non-fiction content that informs and entertains its consumers about the world in all its wonder, diversity and amazement. All content is created and produced by Domenico Pacifico and Giulia Alfarano, worldwide reporters and founders of the Kiss From The World Channel.ā
Your contributions are indeed beautiful but not related to the Local guides Program.
You are welcome to join the program as an individual Local Guide, of course, but Not for promoting your channel.
Hope this can clarify why I cannot release your post from the quarantine. I will in any case tag @sonnyNg here, for sharing Google point of view, that can be different from mine

Hi Ermest, I know very well the guide line of localguide. So, Kiss From The World is NOT a company, and in all video thereās my name. I share very useful content for people. And if my contents are not useful, explain to me which ones can be? Our videos give great and important information on different topics that local guides treat every day.
So whatās the difference between sharing my video and an external link to a blog? (there are millions of posts with external links).
Kiss From The World IS NOT A COMPANY - nowhere in the world.
I give the community the chance to get to know 100% quality content, for FREE and 100% on topic.
It is much more exhaustive to know a place with a video than with an article. The videos are much more difficult to make, much more expensive, and require much more effort. But it gives the user an incredible experience.
Local guide is full of content creators like me soā¦ where is the difference between one of my videos - marked as spam - and another video online on localguide?
I remember you that Kiss From The World is not a company, is only a name. And if you check my content you can see only content that interests the community and not the advertising of a business.
So, the problem is the text in my profile? What should I write? That Iām a chef?
Take care of the quality of the contentsā¦ this is not spam.
when you wrote: āā¦ not for promoting your channelā. Are you serious? If you are serious take away the possibility of putting videos and external links because localguide is full of post with external link for - in your opinion - promote a blog, a youtube channel and moreā¦
Cheers

Hi @KissFromTheWorld , @ErmesT ,
Thanks for letting us know regarding the situation!
It is important to be noted, as ermest kindly shared, that Local Guides should refrain from having their profiles promoting any form of brand or organisation, as it is highly recommended to share information as individual. (You may check further in the Local Guides Rules)
Do feel free to share the interesting content, should that promote culture of cuisine of Italy. : ]
I would also recommend you to check the handy post How do I follow the original content guidelines on Connect?, as there would be many important details that could be followed.
I will make sure to check your contents and any needed action would be taken.
