Google Map Should Have Spam Filter Like "Google Panda" Google Penguin" ?

I'm a Google Map Lover..  so as we all are! But I just need to understand how Google Map Algorithm is treating such spam account.. Example.

This user is "Level 6" Local Guide..

If we see his review, we notice just a single * rating and a "Good" review... is this authentic? Will this anyway help a user you is looking for a review for any business or store? Do he really deserve a "Level 6" Badge..

 

As a digital marketer, I know Google has some spam filter for website  like "Google Penguin" Google Panada" and many more... I think Google Map do really need such spam filter to improve user trust and to teach lesson to such people who try to earn "Level" and "Badges" just for show-Off.

 

Response and review by all Community members are appreciated !
