Quitting Local Guides

The complete revamping of Google Maps and the two times in which I have noticed a massive drop in my contribution points, it has come time for me to move on from Local Guides. Not having any notifications or information in regards to the loss in points, it is infuriating that I have put in countless hours and personal capital in to my contributions. There is ZERO appreciation from Google for our contributions. Once in a blue moon, I’d receive a free postcard as a reward. That is a joke and y’all should’ve just punched me in the face. I would’ve taken more solace in the punch than a damn postcard or 2. Enjoy filling in the gaps in between Houston and Lafayette. I will find solace in knowing that people are not getting the quality information that I have submitted to SE Texans. Eat a big one, Google.

Updated:

Please check your My Activity page and you’ll be able to see answers you shared and control what is saved:

  • If you have the 3 month/18 month deletion enabled, it will delete the answers to questions about places for that period.
  • If you delete answers to questions during any time frame, they will be deleted from Google Maps, and as a result, your Local Guides points will be removed for those contributions.

Also sometimes there might be a belated synchronization of your points, so if you notice this happening again, force log-out of your profile, clear the maps history, cache and any saved cookies and try logging in again.
