I am from a small town that has an offensive image shown as its main image. It has been reported numerous times. All of the images from this particular local guide are personal images and not of the town itself. The image(s) are 1-2 years old and people from the town have been trying to get them taken down for a while now.
Is there anyone that can help resolve issues with this particular local guide?
Hi @MarleyAnn ,
Thanks for reaching out!
Please check out the How to identify and report fraud on Google Maps post and follow the mentioned steps.
PS: I’m moving your post to the How-tos section, as Photography is for sharing photos and technics for photography.
Is it possible to report the local guide to you or one of the other moderators as described in the instructions that you posted?
Flagging individual photos doesn’t seem to be working and I’m certain that most of the town doesn’t want their main image to be a nazi symbol.
Hi @MarleyAnn
You can use the steps from Flag and fix inappropriate content to report inappropriate photos.
If you would like to report a Local Guide who is violating the rules, you can tag a Google Moderator to check out the case.
I know this isn’t your fault (or anyone else on this forum), but there really needs to be a better solution to these sort of issues. These clearly offensive photos have been flagged numerous times by numerous people for at least 5 months now. There is no good reason for these images, some of which are racist/sexual in nature, to still be present on Google Maps. They should have been removed a long time ago.
The system shouldn’t require me to join Local Guides Connect and search out a moderator…
In any case, I do appreciate your guidance through this. I will make a new post and tag a moderator.
