You know that having two different accounts violates the local guides’ rules? You should decide which one is more important to you and delete the other one.

You mean i should delete the account or the contributions?
What if i let the two account still active and focus only one? Does it still violate the rules?
You don’t need to delete an account, but simply to leave the Local Guides program with that account: Visit this page: Troubleshoot Local Guides account issues - Google Maps Help and follow the indications in there. Your contributions will remain linked to your profile, but you will no longer receive points for them.
Hi. My first account no longer has a points, thanks.
But, can i reupload all my reviews that my first account did before to my second? Or i should review again to that all place twice?
My suggestion - do not duplicate your review, just leave the ones you have already added. And publish all new ones on the correct account.
Thanks you help me so much, but now why my first account suddenly active again?
It impact to my second account that i focused. Facing uploaad pending again caused by 1 video
Sorry, but I don’t know the answer this time. @ErmesT may I ask you for help?
Hi @Yuge001 , and thank you for tagging me, @new.user
A pending review is very normal if you add media (photos and videos) to the review. The reason is that the AI is checking the media, and this may take time (from a few hours to a few days, depending of the quantity of media attached and length of the videos). When have you posted your review? If it is less than two days ago please be patient.
If the time is longer it can be a glitch on the upload (it may happen) so try to edit the review and remove the video, then post it again.
Regarding the duplicate account, according to the Local Guides Program Terms and Conditions “Contributions to Google Maps must originate from a single Google account to count towards benefits and cannot be transferred between owned accounts.”.
The reason is to avoid an alteration of a business’s rating, caused by more than one review written by the same user, or by the duplication of images.
What do you mean?
To leave the program you must be logged in with the account you want to leave the program, and access this link: https://www.google.com/localguides/optout
Your account may still appear as a Local Guide for a while. This delay is due to the time it takes for Google Maps databases to sync.
