You are welcome @Oski

BTW, what you are suggesting is the wrong way of proceed.

Suggesting to tag a moderator is absolutely not appropriate, if you do not have an urgent need or issue that only a Moderator can solve.

I see you are posting in Travel, is this post about traveling?

I see you are sharing Instagram posts. Aren’t you a Local Guide?

Why not to share your contributions in Maps instead?

I disagree with you in two points.

How can I an urgency poste here? If i have and urgency I will call the police

I share in Instagram because it is easy!!

Too many time google maps don’t allow me to create new places or if they are near to other won’t accept changes. I’m level 8 and it is still HARD to propose changes, many of the are desestimate by I don’t know WHY?

How can google reject a new place or new just opened business when I upload lots of photos that is has definitively closed or just opened or just new track in the X forest want to review.

For that that reason I prefered Instagram, because it is quick share places and things @ErmesT .

@Oski

In the Local Guides program, and in Local Guides Connect we have rules that we respect

Some reference for you

Hope this will clarify the reason and the content of my answer.

We also have place, In Local Guides Connect, where the Local Guides can suggest improvement. This place is Idea Exchange. Feel free to write your suggestion in there

Welcome @ErmesT and Thanks for you answer, I know well how to cut and past answers.

You must follow the rule of if you have to add nothing is better not to post.

Ask my questions also the question of last year why nobody waste time to make changes because make comments or reviews or create new places give more google points for local guide program.

I have not create google maps local guide program but in my opinion it has lots of things to improve.

I have mentioned you because you recommended it to do because this moth is busy for all the people that are called to apply to live connect event.

Hope see you next year and we can chat over this issues.

You are right in one thing, @Oski , and talking about Copy / paste, this is the exact text of my previous reply: “To make sure your post is noticed, in the future when you ask a question please post on How To and Tag a Moderator (check here and here**).” also pasted on your original post, that is Not on How to and do not contain any question

I see you are @ErmesT as proud and stubborn as me to accepte you are not right (I thinks it increase with the age). Let this issue for anybody that want to answer or that have answers. It is crystal clear that you don’t have them.

Hi @Oski ,

It looks like your post is part of your application for Connect Live 2020. You can read more about what makes a good Connect post in the How to write a great post for Connect Live 2020 article. If you think you are missing some of the points mentioned in the post above, you can always go back and edit it.

Please be advised that I moved your post to Local Stories, where applicants should submit their responses.

Likewise, @ErmesT mentioned in his comment you should tag Google Moderators only when you need assistance or an official answer that you can’t find elsewhere. As a good practice, it is better to upload your photos on Connect instead of linking your Instagram post.
