This is a very good questions which needs some action by the @team_t

I have also seen some LOG in my city , Karachi who have uploaded more than 10K pictures ( In one case 19K) and have been promoted to Level 10 guides. If we look closely , most of the pictures are simply irrelevant spam including poetry, pictures of flowers, romantic pictures etc. I flagged couple of them , but then this LG is a volunteer job and I couldn’t spend hours browsing through this sea of irrelevant pictures.

I would request @user_not_found to monitor guides with contributions above a certain number ( e.g 7 or 8 K) and see if their contributions are factual and helpful

Thank you @ErmesT for the guidance.

I would like to report a Local Guide. He has been writing unrelated stories in reviews, mostly copy-paste. Two of the reviews I came across were Citizen Kane reviews. Please guide me further.
