Minimum mandatory characters required for Reviews.

I would like to suggest a minimum 100 mandatory characters requirement for Reviews. Under the present guidelines there is no limit  although bonus points are given for more than 200 characters in order to promote more explanatory reviews. .Let me explain the disadvantage of no minimum limit. I noticed one spammer for time pass use to write reviews  such as I don't know'  and subsequently Google starts  giving 10 points and misusing it the spammer like an heroic act continuing the process. The reader noticing it being irritated use to report it.. Since there is no filtering  for such misuse by spammers at beginning a  minimum mandatory limit will be a checklist. There are so many cases where the Reviewer write one word reviews like good,bad,O.K, poor etc although it is clearly mentioned not to use as guidelines.It is a fact that such process is going on and at later stage only it is corrected either by filtering or reporting which is taken lot of time and inconvenience.

You misunderstood. 

I say about tagging TraciC in our emergency situation.

 

Check this.

Hello @KishorMali,

Hello Google,

I would like to share with you my idea. This one is about reviews on Google map. It would be nice to little bit push users to write better and more comprehensive reviews.
This can be achieve with words counter on review screen with some tip like "Most helpful reviews have at least 50 words".
This is already implemented on Google Play (see figure below) so it should be easy to carry out.

What you think?

Hi @Rohlik,

Thank you for sharing your idea.

 

Please note that a similar one has been already suggested here - Minimum mandatory characters required for Reviews.. For that reason, I will merge yours to it together with the votes your idea has accumulated so far. 

 

I just recommend you before you submit an idea to search the community. It’s possible that someone else has already submitted the same one, so you can show your support by voting for that idea.

Xin chào tất cả các bạn

Có rất nhiều người do không hiểu nội quy để viết các bài đánh giá cho địa điểm trên bản đồ, vì thế đã viết quá ngắn, trùng lặp, không có tác dụng cho người dùng. Khi có nhiều đánh giá như vậy thì tài khoản bị đình chỉ Local Guides không thể đóng góp tiếp. Trong số đó có những người có công giành nhiều thời gian đóng góp rất lớn về chỉnh sửa, tải ảnh, thêm địa điểm, thêm đường v.v

. Đã có tiêu chí " Viết bài trên 200 ký tự " sẽ được 10 điểm, cộng 10 điểm thưởng do viết chi tiết nữa là 20 điểm/ 1 bài đánh giá. Vậy nên  tôi đề xuất  cần có phần mềm tự động "chỉ cho phép gửi bài đánh giá" khi bài viết có tối thiểu 100 ký tự ? Làm được như vậy sẽ hạn chế được nạn spam . Mong mọi người góp ý xin cảm ơn.

Tôi không biết bạn đã đề xuất vấn đề này, mới đây tôi cũng đã có bài viết tương tự. Tuy nhiên thật đáng tiếc là ý tưởng có vẻ vẫn không được chấp nhận, những người do không biết vẫn sẽ bị đình chỉ LG mặc dù đã đóng góp tích cực thẫm chí là nhiều năm.
