Terms used on Local Guides Connect; please add yours.

[ZekariasT]

These are some few terms that I find useful for local guides who are new on this platform. 

Badges	Badges are recognitions that you will receive for reaching different levels by contributing on google maps. These badges may lead to some benefits - Perks. More on: https://support.google.com/local-guides/answer/6225851
Connect Moderator	"Connect Moderators will join Google moderators and help in making Connect a warm, welcoming and educational place for fellow Local Guides. " link To know how to be a connect moderator and similar information: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/General-Discussion/Connect-is-growing-and-so-is-our-Connect-mo...
Kudos	Kudos is a heart shaped button that you can click below a post on Connect (Eg. similar to a like button on facebook).  It is one way of telling people that you have liked their post.
Macro	A Macro is a simpler representation of repeatedly used content (eg. replies). It will save your time from writing same thing repeatedly. Helpful link to use macros: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/Feedback-and-Feature-Requests/WHAT-IS-MACRO/m-p/737171
Perk	Perk is a reward given to local guides who contribute on Google maps. Link for Points, levels, and badging that leads to perks: https://support.google.com/local-guides/answer/6225851

A list of commonly used abbreviations might also be nice to help newbies read some of the posts here:

POI: point of interest

@ZekariasT Another one you could add is:

POI (point of interest): a place on the map; this can be all sorts of things like a business, a monument, a bus stop, etc

and another abbreviation:

LGCTW: local guides clean the world

[HelloSamsonR]

Great stuff @ZekariasT I will try to add what I can later when I research more.

@JanVanHaver Would that be ok, if I add yours to the list?

[JanVanHaver]

Sure, no problem - only you can edit the original post.
