Reporting constant issues done by a Local Guide

Since my previous attempts didn’t work out, more or less at all, I hope that this will get attention of a mod, or someone else who is able to do more about it.

To be clear, yes, I reported this person many times, yes, I reported many pictures many times, and did close to nothing. This issue isn’t from yesterday, it’s from months ago.

First of all, I’ve “caught” this person abusing the rules because 5-6 times by now he posted wrong pics in a local shoe store in my city. By that I mean he posted 5-10 wrong pics, I reported, they got removed, and then he posted again some more, and so on. So it’s a constant thing. By checking their account some more, I’ve found that they post duplicates all around, which will be shown in pics.

Some examples:

Other big issue is pics of kids, which are somewhere without any clothes. Also, on the one pic above, there is a woman, half naked, and there are some other pics which I didn’t show. Other issues are pics of other women, from a beach, or from a house, and they are not just selfies, or such, those pics I didn’t show either.

This is one of the examples, which I blurred for obvious reasons.

I really hope someone takes this seriously, I will provide the link to the account in a PM.

Hi @Bubica1992 I imagine @Bobiisha will already reach out privately. People are always welcome to PM troublesome profiles where they’ve tried to report it unsuccessfully.

Hi @Bobiisha ,

I had to do update on the situation here, because this is getting out of hand. Nothing was done about this account yet, and this person is continuing doing wrong, over and over. First, they stole a pic from other user, and posted on their own. I’ve noticed that 3-4 days ago, but today I found out that original is gone, also with few other pics from other users are gone, and just the stolen pic remains. The same process happened before too, apparently when they steal, they report originals, and any other pics that are posted, and only their pics remain. This really isn’t ok. Other thing is that they are making screenshots from Street View, and posting as their own.

I’m really trying to understand how is this possible, and why this person isn’t banned.

Hello @Bobiisha ,

I’m not sure did you see my update about this issue? It’s been almost a month since I shared this issue, and this person still continues to post stolen pics, duplicates, and screenshots from Google Street View, putting them as their own pics, also reporting pics from who they stole, so the originals get removed. I understand that some thing need time, but all of this is way too much.

Hi @Bobiisha ,

I’m not sure what is going on, but it looks like that either I’m ignored, or that no notifications from the posts I made are being sent.

These are the posts in question, and I’ve made some updates to them:
