I live in a place where many tourists visit and I know the popular photo spots very well. Checking these locations there are many cases where one person has uploaded “the whole camera roll for the day”. Including family snaps and other locations in town, collecting their points.
Like other LG I can’t help but do my share of reporting these errors but the results vary.
A: Why? and
B: Are there any point rewards for doing such time-consuming manual tasks? Uploading a wrong photo is rewarded, finding one to remove should earn points too.
C: I do know the right locations of the ‘not a photo/video of the place’ cases, but have not found a quick way to point these places out.
You are absolutely right @KeelungChristine . This might be a thankless contribution to report photos. I do only to the places I care about. Like my school place, my college and some places from my memories.

I agree with you about the fact that some people upload the whole roll of the camera in a single point, and this is totally useless, a d it can be also quite annoying for Local Guides that are trying to do the best to improve the information.
If this is an habits, you can of course report the whole profile directly from Google Maps App. For more details about the procedure, please click HERE
@KeelungChristine I’m absolutely agree with you . You should suggest an idea in idea section on connect for suggesting points for report it’s a good idea . The idea given by Mr. @ErmesT is also good as I reported more than 40 people who share pictures with mobile number which is used for Fraud.
Hi @KeelungChristine i do agree with you. I have seen it too. The contribution must be meaningful and useful to others. I have seen a person don’t remember the name or ID he had uploaded all the selfies to gain points. I mean why do i need to see his pic right there are other social media platforms to do those things. I just wish people understand the real and true concept of contribute app. It is much more than earning points.
