Hi all,
These days we in the Iran Local Guides community see many POIs marked as temporarily closed on the map of Iran, while these POIs are open in real and it is totally wrong to be marked as closed on the map.
The number of POIs marked as temporarily closed are too high so it clearly shows one user is editing POIs randomly to earn points. Marking as temporarily closed is one of the simplest edits for approval and I think because of this spammer user selected this edit.
Note that this is totally different from that time in starting months of the COVID-19 that Google marked all training centers and shopping centers as temporary closed.
Because edits history is not visible for users, I can not find spammer (Although my investigations continues ) but definitely Googlers can check and stop the user from doing more spams. So I bring some examples to be checked and find the spammer user.
Attention: For some examples I also edited and re-opened them so do not consider last edit as spam, Just see who temporarily closed the POI in edit history and stop him, please.
Examples:
It was wrongly temporarily closed and I opened it.
I also edited this one to re-open it again.
Still I didn’t edit this to re-open.
Still I didn’t re-opened this.
Although we check our around areas repetitively but this is not possible for us to check all the country and re-open all POIs those wrongly marked as temporarily closed. So definitely this issue needs help form Google.
Dear @DeniGu I really appreciate it if you can check and help in this issue.
Thanks a lot
