This brings up an interesting question. If people strive for greater average views, do you think it is a good idea to periodically check super low photo views after a couple months and delete them? Or just let things ride.

Sometimes Maps might out of nowhere make that photo a featured photo. I have seen it happen.

Perhaps anything over 6 months, under 100 views can be deleted. Just curious what you all do. It’s an interesting point.

This has come up for discussion previously @StevenBerlin, and there’s no common ground on it. I think it was @TerryPG that had a very strict formula to determine which low performers to delete. I started to follow the same line, though a bit less stringent, but I often forget to go back and check for many months.

Yes I’ve seen some photos gather momentum after a very slow start, but that’s usually after a few weeks, not months or years. Therefore there are definitely some non-performers that will never do anything after sitting there idle for so long.

Well done @darrencummins and @rmackman, you join the Leaderboards and make a real splash! Even though there’s a problem with your Brick-in-the-wall on your signature, it’s good to see that you’ve had a go at adding it Ryan. I think the best way to fix this is to:

  1. Visit your profile
  2. Delete everything in the My Signature field
  3. Visit the Leaderboard System and from the WoF Signature section of the System Profiles, get a fresh copy of your unique Brick in the Wall signature and follow the instructions there to re-add it onto your profile.

Give a shout-out if you need a hand.

Darren, you should also think about adding this to your signature.

@StevenBerlin , It’s an interesting question—sorry for the delayed reply. As @tony_b mentioned, there have been discussions on Connect, but no clear consensus. Some Local Guides delete low-performing photos, while others keep them. Personally, I review my photos periodically but mainly remove only hidden ones.

Before reading @AdamGT’s new topic, “just let things ride.” was always my philosophy for exactly the same reason as given by @StevenBerlin!

Same here. However, hidden photos because of deleted places, I do not delete! If it is a historic place, I appeal for restoring it, for a business, I just leave it as it is. Only if I made mistake by posting a duplicate or showing something, I don’t want to publish, or I have an indication, the SPAM filter did hide it and an appeal either wasn’t accepted or seems useless, I delete my photo.
