HI,
I am (Bhasker) sending this message from another account, my original LG account is: journeyfromnow
I am a great fan and enthusiastic of google maps, am LG of 8 and I have been served maps since years, I have added 2600+ photos, 600+ reviews and I have struggled a lot for reaching this level. All of a sudden lost my badges and points, I have spent a lot of time and work to reach Level 8 and near level 9. all of my photos, videos and reviews are genuine. I have those photos in my drive also. even I got a job and career because of LG level 8.
In local guide Signup page it showing that level 8 and badge, but when I tried to write it says your account has been suspended.
Could you please share the reason why I was suspended. and how can I get back my account,
I have taken 2 actions before I suspended LG
1. Before a day of LG account suspended I was tried to add name and detail in LG connect but unfortunately I didn't add details due to a network issue.
2. Another issue is am trying to change the temple name nearby my place but it doesn't accept my suggestions. I have tried a lot of times but it didn't.
3. I have used 2 accounts in my phone for google maps.
Please, please, please help me to resolve this issue and my career.

Hello @bhasker_j
As you told your photos and reviews are yours not copy pasted ones so this is not the reason. But also as you mentioned you have two accounts and second one is also a local guides account. Although it clearly represented in the guidelines that LG program is for individuals and having more than one account is opposite of the rules and will cause suspension of one or all LG accounts of the user.

As you has been suspended, here below you will find a link to know how to contact the Local Guides Team for a verification of the account:

Hello @bhasker_j,
Thanks for reaching out!
I will contact you in private regarding this matter.
To follow up on @ErmesT, it is very important that you exit the program with your second account, as participating in the Local Guides program with more than one account is in violation of Local Guides program rules. You can exit the program from your settings.
As a side note, I have moved your post to the Why was I removed from the Local Guides program? post, to keep Connect organized.
