@MashaPS Why my content has been moved to off-topic is not clear to me. I have told and clarified several times that the content is written by me only. The website from where it is taken is owned by me. I think it has been removed from a personal grudge. There is nothing wrong with my post as per your guidelines. The photos and content are solely owned by me and after saying this several time you removed the post. This is very much frustrating. You people are doing as per your own notions without following any guidelines. Please prove me where you have written that already shared article is not acceptable here.

Hello @Bongyatri

Cheers

@ErmesT are you happy now after getting deleted my post on Rabdentse Ruins? I have clarified you several times and indeed the post got deleted. Moreover i had edited my post mentioning my website link.
I think you people moderate the content here from your personal pov. The discussion was going on regarding another issue i.e. review. But without getting any reply from moderator the post got deleted. This is ridiculous. As a content moderator you can call a review as useless as per your pov, but we the users cannot raise any question
@SholaIB thank you for your reply. The post was regarding Rabdentse ruins. It was a travel content which I already have shared from my own website in 2018. But after joining LG I thought that piece of article will be helpful for the users here. But one of your moderator directly charged me saying that why I have copied the content and photo from a website and pasted here. He even doesnot care to ask me politely that the content from where I have taken is originally written by me or not. Actually the website he has reffered is owned by me and same has been clarified to him also. After that, he charged me that most of my reviews in google maps are also copied. But when I ask him to give the link then his language changed to ādeeply inspiredā. Also he has mentioned that the information which I have mentioned in one of the review is useless.
Do you think this is a correct approach by content moderator? When I asked the same question, the post has been deleted. My point is whether the information is useless or not that is up to the google user. If you find that my review is not useful, you can scroll down it. But can you mention it as useless? On that location there are more than 14k reviewes. Can that moderator ensure me that all the reviews are helpful. Then why is he raising question about me. He can suggest me something. But cannot dictate me. As I have raised question on one of your moderator, the post has been deleted without giving any explanation.
When you have cooled down from his heated discussion, I can offer to help you understand why your 10 latest reviews on Google Maps are not following the guidelines.
I wrote this post to make the guidelines more easy to understand. Please read it and let me know if you want my assistance.
The issue is not one of copyright.
Best of luck

@MortenCopenhagen Sir, please guide me why you are telling me that the reviews are not as per the guideline. That type of guidance I was asked to the earlier content moderator. But he was busy telling that the reviews are useless.
I think we all have our own perspective. Also moderators have their own. But when we talk about rule or content deletion there must be some sort of written rule books.

@MortenCopenhagen thank you sir. I will read that and also tag you to check whether the same is as per the guideline or not.
Hello @Bongyatri
Well I understand the fact that you are upset about the issue on grounds,itās also interesting to me that you know the reasons (Though you donāt agree) why your post was moved. The CM reached out to you and you were informed. Therefore I donāt think the heading of this post should be "Why my post has been sent to off topic:
Its ok to air your views and clear your chest,but please remember The-5-core-values-of-Connect. . Originality is one of them and please be cautious we are all working together to keep connect alive. Donāt take this personal move on write more Original post in the future and ErmesT will happily support you.
Iāll say no more for now,thanks for taking time to explain at least
Happy guiding
Cheers

@Bongyatri , to respond to your last question, no, Iām never happy when a post is removed from Connect and I can see that @MashaPS reinstated it.
In your post you asked me several questions. A detailed answer to your questions would have taken a very long time therefore, since the two subjects of the conversation (Original Content and Reviews) would have required a very long and detailed answer, I decided to complete a post I was working on, which you are free to comment sharing your opinion with others, and discussing it with the rest of the community: A reflection on āOriginal contentā - Part 2 - Our written contributions
In the post you will also find an answer to your questions.
For the record, a dear friend of mine was suspended some time ago from the Local Guides program precisely because he did what you are doing: a Travel Blogger, he wrote about his travel experiences in the blog, drawing inspiration for the historical part from contents available online without mentioning them. Then he copied a part of what he had written in his reviews of the places. He was readmitted to the program after a few months, and after correcting his reviews by recounting his experiences of the places, instead of information already available to everyone.
So Iām seriously worried when I see this happen again, because I donāt want it to happen. Therefore I intervene with impetus (perhaps too impetus) to try to explain what could happen and why. I have nothing personal towards you, no problem.
On the contrary, I believe that people like you who have content to share absolutely should. But I also believe that they have to do it right.
If I didnāt care about this, I wouldnāt invest my free time in talking to you. Iād report your post to Google and move on. I usually write a lot, and try to explain, when I see interesting things.
Again, nothing personal. I apologize if I may have sounded a bit rude, my aim was just to let you know what was wrong.

One more request @ErmesT sir can you just make this particular post as off topic. Because the problem has been resolved and we all have discussed enough. Donot delete it, just make it off topic. because there is so many links in the reply section and I am sure all will be helpful to me in future. So want to keep those comments .

Iām sorry, @Bongyatri , but this is something we canāt do it. I can send it to spam, but it is not spam, and if a Googler will move it on the Off Topic area you will no longer be able to access it.
Leave it here, it is not an issue. Just flag @MashaPS reply as āthe solutionā for others to know that the issue has been fixed. Just in case I can flag it for you.
If nobody respond, in a few ours the post will be no longer visible on the main page, but you will be always able to access it from your own profile
