Too much - too litle

IThere is someone that describes hi.self as beeing a professional Google photografer that is level 10.

However has only 447 critics - evaluations and 14 363 photos plus 4 316 videos. Most of this multimedia is very poor quality repeated and worthless.

I flaged him many times concearning repeated photos and non sense comments.

Please tell me why Google supervisor team does nothing about this situation that brings google maps local guides credibility completly down.

Hello Morte!

Thank you very much for your contact. I sent you a screen shot of its page. I don’t know how to get the link of his page as maps does not show links of profile.

Hope with this you can find it. Please scroll all contributions and you will arrive to a conclusion. The man is not listed in recommended Google photografer in Portugal.

Also he only refers commerce that wants to advertise.

Please keep in touch. If you get the same suspiction as I did…

I am greatfull as my way of beeing is transparency and non profit.

Have a nice weekend

Cheers

Artur

Hi @ArturVictoria

It would be very helpful if you would use the tagging tool when replying to someone here on Connect. Type @ followed by the username. Type slowly. Then we get an e-mail notification and you are more likely to get a prompt reply. Just hitting Reply does not ensure we get notified by email.

I have not received any messages from you.

You need to use the share button on his profile to copy the profile link. It looks like < with 3 little dots on the ends. Or you can copy the url at the top when using a desktop computer.

Please ler me know if he is a competitor of yours. Are you running a 360 business also?

Cheers

Morten

Hello again. Sorry but I didnt use before this app so still learning. No I am just a normal petson - my job is writing and a University rechearch. You can Google me. My last book was about Ethics.

Indeed I say your question and answer you got how to get the profille link but that only works if you are loged in your own profille.

If you look at the following restaurant in Lisbon called Jeronymo Estação do Oriente the last evaluation is from him called Bráulio.

Please tell me if you found it ok?

Cheers

Thanks @ArturVictoria

The reviews are listed in order of relevance for the individual user, so the latest review I see is not the right one.

Good try, though.

Please try another method.

Cheers

Hi @MortenCopenhagen & @ArturVictoria ,

I’ve clearly got more time on my hands than Morten :rofl:

I’ve sent you a PM with the profile link. It’s very clear from the first scroll down that there is a great deal of repetition in the photo section.

Thanks for raising this Artur. It doesn’t help Local Guides reputation or the users of Google Maps with this sort of account behaviour.

Cheers,

Nigel

Thanks. I got the link.

His photo quality is well above average,

but I see

Plenty of duplicate images.

Tons of redundant images.

Most viewed photo is out of focus.

He claims to be a trusted photographer without the badge. But my trusted badge is also gone, so I don’t think this is an issue for the LG program.

But I will ask the Googlers to take a look.

@ArturVictoria , feel free to elaborate on what more violations you see. And share them in a reply below.

Cheers

Morten

Update: I still see my trusted badge here on Connect. It was never on Maps - I believe.

Hello just happened again. The guy published more repeated today. I reported on duplicate photos but Google never swipe those photos.

Its frustating beeing a loyal member by the book and see others overpassing what should be strict rules.

All the best for you

Cheers from Porto

It’s Tuesday and we reported it Friday.

Google rarely acts that fast.
