Local Hero: Mapping Italy’s Recovering Towns After the Earthquake

Today we are missing one of our most beloved Local Guides heros on Connect. We first heard LucioV was removed from Connect a little while ago and we immediately reached out to him, to see how we can help our dear friend. We are deeply sad about this.

We heard both sides of the story and believe Lucio has been wrongly banned. Right now we are beginning the process of advocating for him, in order to see his Local Guides account re-activated and his outstanding reputation upheld.

Please let us know what kind of Local Guide LucioV has been in your experience of him. Take a minute to remember Lucio today.

Deepest thanks and kindest regards from Osaka78

@Osaka78forTRUMP We’re glad to hear that you’ve made a great connection with someone through Connect, however, I will be locking this thread for future discussion. We respect everyone’s privacy and our policy is not to discuss a Local Guide or their status with anyone but that Local Guide.

For others who may be curious, Local Guides must adhere to Local Guides’ program rules which include Google’s Universal Terms, Code of Conduct, Maps contribution policies and the like. If someone violates our program rules or those policies, they will be removed from the program. Thank you.
