Create more specific reasons on reporting spam

We need to fight spams on Google Maps. Most of the Local Guides are willing to help, just give us tools to do that. My suggestion is to create a page that will identify the spam and of course you need someone to verify that. Some unclaimed famous businesses or places are being claimed by other business to get a high star rating and good feedback. I already talked to a Googler and currently, the only way to fight this is posting here in Connect. Let's accept the fact that most of the Local Guides don't have enough time on posting here. And since the problem is related to Google Maps, why not create a page that will accept spam reports that can exactly define the kind of spam a user saw. One of the most famous spams that I encounter is unclaimed business claimed by other person.
