My Local Guides Account account has been stuck in a loop of suspension and reinstatements for the past three months. Once I notice the account is suspended I use online Appeal Form to appeal it. Roughly a day later I receive an email that my account is reinstated and “there is no further action needed on your end” only to have it re-suspended a few days later. I have studied the polices, but haven’t found any obvious violations.
Through a process of deleting contributions in the months leading up to the first suspension I have surmised that the source of the suspensions seems to be a series of edits I have repeatedly submitted regarding incorrect spelling and punctuation at four sites. Two are misspellings: Crag Burchett - Jesse Henson Memorial Park and Sanbar Discovery Center (sic). Two are spacing errors: Dinosaur Ridge West(Jurassic) Trailhead and RogerSchultz Community Park (sic). I have listed them as they are spelled and punctuated on Google Maps; hopefully the correct forms to which I have been attempting to edit them are obvious. It is unclear to me why these edits keep getting rejected since they are factual and rather obvious, but it seems likely they are also why my account keeps getting suspended. They are still listed as “Pending”, and the are repeated which is why I assume they are what is triggering the filter. Regardless, I’m happy to delete them if there is a function for doing so, but unfortunately there is not: when I select the three little dots to the side of the edit the only function available is “Suggest Another Edit” Below are screenshots demonstrating the spelling issue for the places as well as links to the photos used in the screenshots. Where possible, I tried to use other people’s photos.
