Hello everyone
Referring to my previous post:
My added places are shown as not accepted while they’re already added!
After receiving more than 4.2 million views and nearly 1,400 contributions, I have decided to stop all of my Google contributions. This decision comes after not receiving a response from the Google team for about 12 days.
The lack of feedback or communication from Google for those who dedicate their time and effort to help others has been disappointing.
I hope this clarifies how things work and how this situation can unfold when you genuinely need assistance or clarification.
Thank you to everyone who tried to help; it’s truly appreciated, but the lack of engagement has been disheartening.

A Googler responded to you twice. Getting issues escalated is something you should appreciate, and it is not unusual that it takes weeks or months for issues to get fixed.
With about 2 billion of monthly users on a free app/service it is not realistic to expect the teams to provide individual support in my opinion. The teams never interact and responds directly to users. All you can hope for is MoniDi responding in the thread when/if she hears back from the team.
It is understandable that you chose not to make further contributions.

@MortenCopenhagen I already understood and appreciated it as seen in the previous post.
But maybe it was a little bit too high an expectation from me to get a response from the Google team in less than 12 days? So yes, it’s my fault then I have to say that.
And I really understand the number of people using that using a free service - it’s free for us not for the Google team, right? - but I was expecting more help from them, and I expectations were my mistake and I have to confess it.

I understand you, my friend. I got the same problem: added places are published, but no point counted.
That’s unfair. It’s difficult to put in effort when your work isn’t appreciated.
I wrote to the support team, now waiting for the respond. Hope, this problem will be solved.
Maybe your contributions will be awarded in a while, and you change your mind. I hope, you inform us, if the solution appears.

Thank you dear @Hakeem_Akt for supporting.
And yeah I saw your post for a similar issue.
And I saw that you didn’t have any feedback yet either.
It’s really very disappointing, my added places always take time and effort, I even add a lot of Unique pictures, working hours, categories, phone numbers, and every tiny single detail.
And it ended up for nothing!

Dang… sorry man. I don’t blame you one bit though. The lack of communication on the platform is mind-boggling. Your comment is the #1 issue on the forum and it gets ignored. Crazy how the solution is to wait weeks or even months; or to send a report to one person, who is overwhelmed. It’s absolutely atrocious and there’s no excuse for that. Honestly, sad to see as a Google lover. Best of luck on your other platform

I appreciate your support dear @jeckelbarger
I can’t hide it but I feel very disappointed honestly, I thought that Google would be more interested in people who give all their time and effort to help others for free
You know it’s almost 20 days and no feedback yet, am I exaggerating?

No problem. Submit that issue on the feedback form that that one Google lady uploaded. I did that earlier and listed the issue again in the comments for the group’s visibility. Not sure it’ll solve the issue but don’t be shy on flagging it
