Reporting mechanism for Local Guides behaving badly

[#1]

As far as I can tell, the only way to let Google know about a misbehaving LG is to post here (which is weird that it's not using Google+, but I digress).

How about an easier mechanism to do this?

Hey @cfOH,

Thanks for reaching out.

Do you have any detailed suggestions on what should be changed exactly, every detail is going to come in very handy!

By the way, the voting is open and other Local Guides are free to vote on your idea. Good Ideas rise to the top.

Hi @cfOH maybe this is something we could achieve also there: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/All-Ideas/Multiple-spam-user-report/idi-p/1004249

Googlers, thanks a lot to simplify the review reporting system, now i don't need to input my email id every-time.

We need to simplify reporting of Local guides whose partial content is spam. Presently i need to do the following :

1. Select the location (link to the place) , there can be many places against which incorrect pics have been added

2. Mark the pictures/take a snapshot - i usually have to take atleast 3-4 so that the moderator can understand

3. Attach the LG's profile link.... all these 3 things & then i can email the same.

Its cumbersome. Can't  a method be made so that i report a LG from his profile itself, and manually select the places as well as pictures which are spam? (like a checkbox against spam pictures).

I am presently avoiding reporting LG's because of this labor intensive method of reporting.

Of course, if everything the LG has uploaded is spam, then its very easy. But such cases are few & far in-between.

Please look into this, this will enhance user experience for all of sincere LG's.

Thanks,

 CS G

Hi @goelmyself,

Thank you for sharing your idea.

Please note that a similar one has been already suggested here - Reporting mechanism for Local Guides behaving badly. For that reason I will merge yours to it.

I just recommend you before you submit an idea to search the community. It’s possible that someone else has already submitted the same one, so you can show your support by voting for that idea.

Hi @cfOH,

Thanks for sharing!

However, we did not manage to implement it in time and according to our Idea Exchange policies, as for the moment, we are going to need to close your idea.

Hello Team ,

Sometimes we find someone who contribute to google maps with a lot of spam. It is possible to report single reviews and single photos. But it's not possible to report a full account. We would like to see a Google form or connect forum sub category there we can share and get help with this type of problem. There we can share a link to the spammers profile and indicate which type of spamming is the problem. Thanks.

It's a great idea @MahabubMunna Bhai. The Hope google team will support this and take proper initiative.

আসলেই ম্যাপসে ঢুকলে অনেক সময় দেখা যায় প্লেজ এড দেওয়া মসজিদের পিক দিয়ে রাখছে ধান খেতের, বা গার্লফ্রেন্ডের সাথে সেলফি এটা দেখতে অনেক বিরক্তিকর।আরো অনেক কিছুই ম্যাপসে গেলে দেখতে পাওয়া যায়। @@MahabubMunna ভাই ধন্যবাদ আপনাকে আপনার পোস্টের জন্য,আশা করি বিসয়টি তারা আমলে নিবে😀😀
