Hello @Corrie
How can we solve the issue of photography spamming, where individuals post irrelevant images to locations on the map. I have flagged almost a thousand images in maps, but when I check later. Those images are still there.
What is the best approach of dealing with these kind of spam. And how can we handle such a large number of individuals doing that almost on daily basis?

Hi @JonasKL. Here's our policy:
If you find a review or photo that you think violates our policies, you can use the 'flag as inappropriate' icon next to the contribution. A team of specialists will then check if it violates any of our policies (https://goo.gl/dsVNTC, https://goo.gl/G87xzJ) and will take appropriate action. The review sometimes takes time as the team is careful to only remove content that violate policy.
If you've found a specific Local Guide with activity you think violates Google Maps' policies or the Local Guides program rules, let us know here in Connect (but don't share that person's information publicly) by tagging a Google Moderator (https://goo.gl/8kKcCB) and we'll reach out to you via private message with instructions on how to share that information with the Local Guides team to share with the specialists for review. Please note that we'll never be able to share the specialists' decision as we respect everyone's privacy. I'll send you a private message now with instructions.
