Hi all,

i have the same thing today while other reviewers posted earlier. It is strange though that you can add a review but can’t post it.

is this a block linked to the place itself ? Or any other reason?

Hello @Jay-Gee-Jerome ,

If you are referring to MGM Springfield, I can assure you that this POI is working properly. We have just tested this on our side and successfully added a review, rating and a photo using iPhone with iOS 12 and the latest Google Maps installed.

Apart from that I can see that your latest review is 20 minutes ago. This shows that your Local Guides account is working properly.

Hi George and all members of the community,

the issue with “ineligible place” is now increasing.

yesterday I could add reviews but now I cannot add any reviews any more, even more any photo on places I have been already.

for instance, there is a place “Pancras Square” that is close to where I live. I promised my self to add a review later, but I wanted to check out if I could. I added 5 stars and thought I could add a review later.

But 2mn later I received a pop up message saying the place is ineligible for reviews.

I may be paranoid but I share my thoughts with you:

  • it looks to me my account is blocked or limited now and I could not post reviews with the GM app. Is there an issue with my account?

  • In his previous message , George referred to MGM Springfield. Actually i don’t know why he did referred to this place. But my understanding was “I” tried to post a review on this place, which I did not. Indeed, i am traveling in Scotland, Europe and I have never intended to post a review on the MGM Springfield place.

Could it be that someone hack my guide account? Or I am paranoid :wink:

thanks to to clarify if you can.

kind regards

JG
