I have edited your posts to remove the personal information of other users as we respect everyone's privacy and discourage the sharing of private information in this forum. Please take a moment to review our rules.
As I already recommended in this post (and also as @BishowvijayaP very cleverly showed here in this thread), if you find a review or photo that you think violates our policies, you can use the 'flag/report 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 content review sometimes takes time as the team is careful to only remove content that violates policy.
Please note that we'll never be able to share the specialists' decision as we respect everyone's privacy.
Many thanks for your help.

Re: How to report or remove unrelated images for a place?
There is no way to report a user, only one picture at the time, and if you report around 10 images, you have to start solving questions with a picture puzzles. This is the end of reporting from my side, as it will take days to solve this puzzle for 100000 pictures. And how is it privat information if it's shared public on google maps?

Hi @PatricL, we are aware that the photo reporting options need some work, and we are on it, so thank you for your feedback!
Local Guides Community Program Manager Due to the volume of private messages Google Moderators receive, I do not read or respond to private messages. Please post publicly so others may benefit from your discussion. Thank you.
We do appreciate your support, feedback and help. We do not encourage Local Guides to share private information (including URLs) publicly on Connect in order to protect yours and other users' privacy and safety.
If you've found a specific Local Guide with activity you think violates Google Maps' policies or the Local Guides program rules, you can let us know in Connect also by tagging a Google Moderator in your post, but please do not share that person's information publicly. We'll then 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.

Some guys add unrelated images in purpose to advertize their business or they think their images are funny, but actually they aren't and confuse people when they want to see proper and handy images for that place. I know some places (not too many) that attach with unrelated images. e.g a park (with a sheep in a bathroom!) or a super close-up polished nails of a woman to advertize her business for a public place!. Now I'd like to know how to report their useless, funny images to remove them and replace with helpful and right images that are related to those specific places to guide people for enjoying and understand those places when they are in or when they want to go there. How can you help or think for this issue? would you please help me please if there's a fix for that I don't know?

Re: How to report or remove unrelated images for a place?
At this time anyone can only report the images with reason, can't remove the images directly. Only those images can be removed that are uploaded by the business owner who is verified by google.
Any business owner or a verified google guide can't remove images those are uploaded by others or coming from any external link.
Here google must have to look in this matter seriously.
