Google Guide No Longer Recognises My Guide Status

Hi @ErmesT & @MashaPS

Thank you so much for taking the effort to reply, without you i am lost. This forum is so confusing but you have offered a glimmer of hope.

May i ask for a responce, relating to your bullet points:

  • The link you kidnly provided doesnt appear to offer any instructions to know how to contact the Local Guides Team? it takes me to page 2 of some type of conversations featureing random others, and there ‘REPLY’ buttons are all greyed out ? did you add the wrong link by mistake perhaps? i would love to recieve a simple form of contact, somethign direct like an email would be ideal. Please anythign to make this task a little easier would be much appreciated. all i see is a sea of posts, starting at page 2 ? > Why was I removed from the Local Guides program?
  • I will happily edit the post your refering to, where is it? how do i get back to it?
  • This one i fully understand. BUT, are you aware that if i close this account, i am not then able to access this forum to follow step 1 (assuming you reply includes a method of contact that requires me to log-in to this forum to follow after i cancel this account?). My other MAIN account is not recognised as a Guide account so wont allow me back in here. its a bit like catch22 - if i cancel this account then how do i access your responce to bullet point 1 and engage with this illusive Local Guides Team ?

MashaPS - thank you for teaching me Tags. I dont think you guys have any idea what its like arriving in a web forum like this which has an infinate volume of pages and systems and then being expected to instantly understand how to use it? Mods seem to expect this, but why should everyone be experienced, maybe a video tutorial would be a good idea right

In any event, please do respond, your the only chance i have. Its rather demorilising and counter productive to offer Google years of hard work building a guide status, to then have it taken away WITHOUT NOTICE (wouldnt you agree)
