Request for help to enable the ability to edit the map

Hi @DeniGu

My account has been recovered after a suspension by the system, but still after a few weeks of re-joining the LG program, all of my edits deny immediately.
I’m focusing on edits for several years to keep the map clean and reliable.

But now I’m unable to do my bests for the map. May you please help me with this problem to release my edits from the blacklist?

Thanks a lot

Hi @Hamid_Reza_M

Were you able to make such edits prior to your suspension and unsuspension? I’m aware there are a ton of restrictions on making edits in your country.

Maybe @Amiran has some tips for you.

Cheers

Hi dear @DeniGu

I also think it is good to help @Hamid_Reza_M with his editing ability. As I also said to @MortenCopenhagen , he is a previous RL, and fortunately still one of the good, active, and top mappers in Iran.

Despite lots of difficulties here, a few of us in the Iran Local Guides community are focusing on editing to keep the map safe, and if even one of us faces trouble with editing, making situation so hard to prevent spam and wrong data.

I appreciate your help in this case.

The issue you mentioned that happened to me too in the exact manner.

My LG account was banned temporarily then recovered and now my editing feature is blocked. All of my editing suggestions are getting rejected instantly.

@DeniGu

Can you please help on this matter?

Thanks :pray:

Hi @MortenCopenhagen

I was able to make such edits before the suspension and most of them were approved.

My dear friend @Amiran is aware of all the details of the issue.

Thanks for your attention

Dear @DeniGu

One more thing I would like to add on this issue.

Recently, I found out that not only my editing feature has been blocked but also all the edits that I made so far on Google Maps have been revert back to their previous forms. Which is extremely ridiculous from my point of view.

Here are some examples which I got from my profile’s edits section:

Having approved edits reversed immediately (and even before the email is generated) is an issue I also see a lot.

Hi @MortenCopenhagen

It seems you mentioned me by mistake :wink:

Of course, the mentioned issue happened to me too. Unfortunately, after the suspension some of my edits have been reversed and many of the places I had added to the map have been removed.

If my editing feature gets unblocked all the edits that I have made so far will be reinstated or will stay as it is right now? Do I have to suggest for edits again?

Please Note: My editing feature is still blocked.

I don’t know. Your case with reversed edits is the first I ever learned about. This sanction might have hit others without them knowing.

What is the status of your appeal?

Cheers

Hi @MortenCopenhagen

I have not received any mail regarding the status.

I posted here under this thread and @DeniGu told that she escalated my case to the proper team to look into. But I haven’t been contacted by anybody yet.

Also, one more thing I would like to add, when my account was temporarily banned I used the appeal form but it rejected my appeal stating my edits violated Map policies. Then I sent mail to LG Forum which I used to report spam profiles. I told them in details about my edits (AP Style format) then within a week my account was unblocked and they told me it was the Google AI which triggered and blocked my account.

I think I should send another mail to that ID again with the details that edits have been reversed. But I am waiting for @DeniGu for her replies on this issue.

Please Note: I tried to edit on Maps this morning but that too was rejected instantly which means I am still blocked from editing on Maps.

Hi @DibyayanC and @Hamid_Reza_M ,

You should now be able to suggest edits on Google Maps as before. Please keep in mind that, even if your edits don’t get automatically declined, they might still be declined after a review from a moderator depending on the available data.

Do let me know if everything is working as expected on your end!
