@CharliesTheMan, I'm sure the Check facts feature works as designed. But as you acknowledge, it can be enhanced to offer both functions: your scavenger hunt by distance, and my watchlist for places you know and want to protect from spam.
I think we may be onto something here.

@NFN,
I think when that happens, the system might incorrectly flag your post/content as spam. It's happened to me quite a while ago, you can see what's happening with your posts through the link. For them to be realised, tag a moderator as well. @iyudhi and @JeslynL helped release my posts before back in June.

Hello @capricorn,
I must admit, the maps algorithm has gone crazy for quite a handful of users. You might be part of our 'forever not applied' club; you can see a post from the Google moderators here. Be rest assured that there is considerable effort being made to help tweak and re-adjust the algorithms so that our contributions may be considered, rather than being outright rejected.
I'm Level 10, so levels do not exactly influence whether an edit would be accepted or not.

New year, new algorithm?

A good thought NVD but the question is which new year are we talking about .... 2018 or 2019 or 2020 ....or. ...? Fingers crossed that it can be sorted out soon before we all give up!

They do, but not the way you'd expect them to. Your experiments with your mother's account suggest that a Level 1 or 2 is far more likely to get their edits approved than a Level 9 or 10.

My question is this: is the new algorithm better than the one used prior to October 10? Because if not, and assuming Google uses a revision control system (which I'm sure they do), it should take a few minutes to revert back to the pre-October 10 version, while they keep working on improving the newer version. There really is no need to effectively block most edits while they are debugging.

Just added a park and it was approved instantly.
Tried to add my previous denied one and was denied again.
Still not fixed.
FIY photos still being uploaded multiple times in wrong listings.
Lets say I add 1x drone pic to 3x listings.....all 3 pics will appear on first one. Now I normally post 3 to 4.....see my problem....
