For more than two years, my new photos don’t get any views while my old photos keep get view. Every now and then I upload a new photo to check if something has changed, but still nothing. This affects also photos that i upload as a part of a review, but while the review does get published, the photos aren’t. I’ve also noticed that my contributor badge is as a beginner, while Im almost at level 8. This is very frustrating..

Hello @adifred03
I see you’re relatively new on connect. Welcome anyway. When asking a question or needing help please kindly state one problem/Issue/Question per post. It’s easier to answer or help when it’s one issue at a time.
Now regarding your New contributor badge,we all get that. It doesn’t have anything to do with your level 8. I have it as well and I am on Level 10. Moreover it doesn’t have to increase or improve with your level as you go on to the next levels.
Regarding your photos view. Unfortunately your account is private I could have had a look to see what’s the issue. The only logical reasoning is that they are caught in the spam filter. If the photos aren’t good quality or blurry or duplicates or stolen doesn’t belong to you or has something wrong with them, the spam filters grabs it and it’s private or hidden from public view.
Nevertheless some good photos have been a victim of the spam filters as well. All you can do is appeal if you think your photos are all ok. Here is An appeal form to that ends.
Happy guiding
Cheers
This badge was created only recently. It would make no sense to award this to experienced Local Guides. Is a motivational badge for new contributors not those who are already hooked like you and me.
I got it only after getting out of a suspension.
