Maps rejected - Suddenly spheres do not show publicly

[MariosL]

Looking for moderators to help

Three of my celebrated spheres of Acropolis of Athens - Parthenon, with about 1,7 M views, suddenly were rejected by the system and don't show publicly:

1. ACROPOLIS - PARTHENON South-West view,
1,4 M views !!!

2. PARTHENON - THE ACROPOLIS OF ATHENS
322,3 K views !!

3. PARTHENON - ACROPOLIS OF ATHENS
53,8 K views !

Is that another bug of the system ? Can you help me ?

This is no good!

You should still be able to see these photos in your https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/ page. Can you share the link to the photos in question?

If you are unable to see these photos in that page, is it possible that you shared these photos somehow? Sharing the photos or albums can cause them to get removed from Maps.

Hi @MariosL,

The watermark of your photos is a URL to a blog.

Do you think this will trigger reporting of bad contents?

[MariosL]

@JackieSV

I am seeing these photos Jackie. The problem is that anybody else (including President Obama who is visiting Acropolis to-day) can NOT see these photos if searching spheres for "Acropolis of Athens" or "Parthenon - Acropolis of Athens". The bug of the system does not permit these photos to show publicly .. WHY ?

[MariosL]

@YK1001 This is the URL of my main blog Samson, and it's there to show that the sphere Is on my name. It is placed discreetly at the nadir, just to protect my photo from being mal-used ..

[MariosL]

@YK1001 .. and of course if somebody has reported this, it should have be done so, obviously, just to throw out of competition a 1,4 M views sphere .. And of course this should have not be accepted by Google!

[JackieSV]

Hi @MariosL, I can only help if you provide me with the link to the photo you're seeing in your account.

This link should still work even if other people don't see the photo in your account when they look.

I will be happy to investigate if you send a link. Thanks!

If needed, here are some screenshots to clarify what I mean.

I am not sure Jackie if there are more spheres being rejected by the system, so I'll investigate all my uploaded spheres (195) and I shall let you know.

Hi @MariosL,

It looks like some of these photos were automatically rejected because of the name / website being in an inappropriate location in the photo. It also appears like a person has been added into some of these photos that have been rejected.

Please see https://www.google.com/streetview/privacy/#general-content-policies for more information about photo policies.

I'll get back to you if there is more information.
