Hello smart people
I saw this post by chance in connect 👇by @Anonymous
It was posted under PHOTOGRAPHY, by the user without knowing Instead of posting it under HOW TOS.
He asked a question , but it looks he didn't get answers because of the post in the wrong Field.
I tried to help, but I think there are a technical issues caused his problems.
Should not this post be moved under HOW TOS , so he can get more tips and understanding!???
Who will move his post under the right Field please?
If I am a Connect Moderator, I could move it 😉
I am tagging @AngieYC so she can contact the technical support team
Thank you all
Hello @OSAMA_
That's very good and thoughtful of you to be looking out that the forum should be well organised as always. Although streetview is no more supported on connect as you know,nevertheless "the how tos" is still the proper board for questions and queries.
Well for subsequent times,if you see such posts ,you could alert/kindly advise the user themselves in the comment box below the post, to edit it to the correct category. If the user is new on connect which they possibly are,you can also suggest some nice articles to them like How do I write a post on Connect , Your-guide-to-Connect etc .That's one thing you could do.
Second thing is,You could also tag a moderator for assistance in things like that. They will take care of it then. 😝.
Nevertheless, we know that they are busy and at the appropriate time they will sort it out. Goodluck for your ambition brother. 💙
Cheers
Thank you @SholaIB ,
Please think that this user don't know where to post in the right field. I am not sure if It works with him telling him to RE-post again, because he is a new user.
Street View talks can be discussed here , and as I see from time to time a questions from other users.
Additionally, the street View Photographers can also send a feedback from the GSV app itself, but it's not wrong sending a question here also .
Very Respectfully
Thanks for raising the issue about posting in the right place, @OSAMA_ . I have responded in there , providing the instructions to perform the change of the Topic.
This action cannot be made by a Connect Moderator. We are volunteers Local Guides, and the change of the topic require the capability to edit a post. Only the Googlers have access to this feature.
So what to do in case this happen (wrong topic?). My tips are
- Inform the Local Guides and provide the instruction for performing the edit
- Inform a Googler. This can be made by tagging a Googler in the post, or by reporting the post
I normally follow both steps, because in this way:
- I try to educate the Local Guide about the better place to post
- I inform Google that an action is needed
However, in the same post I try also to address the question of the Local Guide, in this way I avoid to highlight what for many seem to be an "over-criticism" or an excess of Moderation, as it can be frustrating for a new Local Guide that is trying to raise an issue with us.
Of course every suggestion about how to better engage a Local Guide about that is indeed welcome
