UPDATED: Known issue: Unpublished reviews and photos on Google Maps

Dear @Bobiisha

Suddenly not only the current reviews- also some older reviews - are invisible :disappointed: Could you please help me and release all of my reviews? Thx a lot :cherry_blossom:

Hi @Bobiisha ,

Unfortunately I still have 70+ recent reviews from the last month that are not showing as public.

All my subsequent reviews are still not going public either unfortunately.

If I could be added to the list again for review that’d be appreciated (thank you).

Hopefully a permanent fix soon :slightly_smiling_face:

Cześć @ErmesT

22 Styczeń 2022

Szok. Jeszcze wczoraj poprzez konto incognito widziałam 1146 moich opinii, dzisiaj są tylko 2. Na Mojej Karcie jest ich 1490. Liczba wyświetleń opinii = 0.Co się dzieje? Algorytmy Map Google oszalały? Już udało mi się samodzielnie odzyskać ponad 100 opinii i po co? Te 2 opinie które ocalały z pogromu też były odzyskane i to wczoraj.

Niestety Plagiatów algorytmy dalej nie widzą - sprawdziłam.

Hi,

as a Local Guide obviously all my reviews are unpublished - and can not be seen by others.

Thanks @MortenCopenhagen for your answer already. I wrote reviews for some local places of interest as well as some of my partners I work with. What can I do to solve the problem? Please, could you republish my reviews again?

Kind regards, Frederik Beyer

Hi @FrederikBeyer

While your reviews are private I would suggest you delete those related to your professional life.

Then then the Google Moderators are more likely to make the rest public again. Sorry, I don’t have the power to fix it for you.

Cheers

Morten

I always prefer to write reviews genuinely. Because I think it’s way to give message to the society about the visiting places.

However I never use deregetory language to harsh anyone.

Today I wrote a review about a place where I had visited but don’t understand why it’s not published publicly. Even if you check my review, you will not find anything which can be against the google map’s policies.

So I would like to request Google map to reconsider their decision to feel us worthy otherwise if Google map does like this, what’s the use to be local guide.

Here is the link of my review.

Check out this review of Netaji Bhawan on Google Maps

Buongiorno,

ripropongo il mio problema. Ho scoperto per caso che delle mie oltre 5.000 recensioni solo la metà sono visibili al pubblico mentre sono visibili oltre 36.000 foto su 37.000 che ho pubblicato. In questi 2 ultimi anni di Covid ho aggiunto migliaia di foto e recensioni, aggiunto luoghi mancanti e corretto dati perché considero Google maps insostituibile e lo uso sempre essendo un viaggiatore incallito e pignolo nello scoprire luoghi.

Forse l’elevato numero di foto e recensioni non è considerato normale, alcune sono troppo lunghe forse ma non mi spiego perché il mio profilo di LG10 sia ancora attivo mentre non tutto quello che carico è reso pubblico. Chiedo se c’è modo di risolvere il problema o è meglio cancellare tutto. Non sono interessato ai punti, a premi o regali, semplicemente voglio rendermi utile; non c’è nulla di più fastidioso di trovare notizie sbagliate o certificare la mancanza di luoghi che vorrei visitare.

Grazie a chi vorrà rispondermi…Io comunque continuerò a usare Gmaps. Antonio Pistore

Hi @Bobiisha ,

Half of the reviews are hidden from the post on December 1, 2021. Please confirm it is.

Sir I have checked it multiple times still not able to understand why my review wasn’t published.

So I would like to request the team to check the twice to reach the final conclusion. This kind of behavior will demoralize the positive mindsets of people.

Hi @dghosh

I took a quick look at your contributions. There are loads of violations of the guidelines. Let me know if you would be interested in some detailed feedback on how you can improve and hence protect your account from suspension.

All the best

Hi everyone, I have a few posts but they are not published. These are harmless reviews that should not contradict any policy. Can someone help me or unlock me?

Good to know that you have checked my contributions. So I would like to know which of my contribution has violated the rules. Just give me an example from my contributions to know this.

Hi again @dghosh

It would be really 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.

It is not just one problem. Here are some examples.

13 of your reviews are hidden. Probably due to guideline violations.

I can’t see them so I will comment on other aspects.

Your 4 photos uploaded to Netaji B are photos of other photos. This is likely a violation of the copyright guidelines. And it does not show the place as it looks currently.

Your photos to Toll Tax are mostly duplicates. 2 must be deleted.

To Birbhun you have uploaded photos with superimposed text. Also a no go. Please delete. Same for Bijay Toron.

Videos made from still images are not helpful to Maps users. Please just share the stills or real videos.

It is not recommended to share photos taken at night.

Your review of Dugarpur station has a selfie attached. We can not share photos with recognizable faces. Pics should show the places not people.

It is good that you often explain you personal experience in reviews. But you could improve by making your reviews shorter. The more words the fewer readers and the higher risk the spam filter will hide your reviews.

Your photos uploaded to your review of AMRITKALPA are redundant. The review text is stating the obvious. Please share your experiences as a customer or guest. If you are not a customer or guest please don’t review such places.

Your review of New Book Store is not following the guidelines. We need to be helpful and polite. It is perfectly OK to write negative reviews but you need to be more objective, use decent language and try to be helpful.

I can share links to the relevant guidelines should you be interested in some of them.

Please don’t be upset, I’m just trying to help you not get suspended.

All the best

Morten
