If you will upload duplicate photos it should be definitely deleted by Google filters automatically I am giving some examples you from your account must delete these duplicate pictures from your account otherwise ultimately your account also be suspended

and yes Google will never tell you you should read the Google maps policy

@RB007 Hi!

A warm welcome to the Local Guides Community.

It seems your deleted photos violent the Local Guides Community policy and Maps User Contributed Content Policy as @Muhammad_Usman already gives you some proof from your contributions.

I want to highlight some rules related to photo filtering by Google:

Dark, blurry, and redundant photos will be removed. Users who duplicate photos across locations, or post images that infringe on copyrights, will also be removed.

Otherwise

Selfies, group photos that are irrelevant from the location are also spamming on Maps contributions.

So please read and follow all program rules to avoid photo filtering by Google and protect your account from permanent suspension.

@RB007 , my feeling is that @Muhammad_Usman and @ShafiulB gave you a clear explanation to makes you thinking about the program.

You are young, and you have time to grow up.

Why do you contribute in Google Maps? I am asking this, because I remember that you was interested in Connect Live, even is the minimum age to partecipate is 21. Do we contribute for points, or we receive points for contributing? What is important? What help more? A good photo, or a selfie?

Is a photo uploaded in two different place helpful? Or misleading?

To explain this, and more, on the Help Desk there is a post that is very interesting: What photos should I share on Google Maps?

Google should notify me”, you wrote. No, Google don’t need to notify you, because, subscribing to Local Guides you confirmed that you read and accepted the rules and the Community policy

My small tip for you is the same that you will read at the end of the post that I shared with you: “Do you think you may have shared photos on Google Maps that go against our guidelines, rules, and policies? Go through your photo contributions, remove any photos and videos that may be considered irrelevant or spam, and help others easily find useful information
