Using maps as personal diary. Is this allowed?

Hello,

Last days I notice very strange behaviours of some users which post in my family town. For example: they create place named like “my garden” and then they post hundreds of pics that don’t add to Maps any value. Other strange behaviour, same user: posting pictures of their apartment as bus stands or restaurants etc. Or they post another hundreds of accidental pictures in random business places. Eventually a restaurant profile contains pictures of German highway, Polish city market, some random pictures of unidentified weed or twenty pictures of guide’s wife (girlfriend/sister/colegue) taken in random places around a world.

It looks like someone uses G.Maps as their personal free of charge data cloud.

I am also sure that those accounts I am talking about belong to same person.

I’d really like to stop this massive spam that is posted in my city everyday.

Hi @MSPolTZ

Feel free to pm me the links to the profiles you suspect of spamming Google Maps. And I will escalate this for you.

Please list and elaborate on the evidence with links to sample violations.

Cheers

Morten
