We want to ensure WiFi Map is a valuable resource for everyone, which means keeping content relevant, clear, and respectful. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand why certain photos, reviews, or places may be blocked and how to fix these issues.
Why a Photo May Be Blocked
Duplicate Photos
Uploading the same photo multiple times for a single place (e.g., WiFi hotspot) isn’t helpful for others. Please upload only one version of a photo, ensuring each one is unique.Inappropriate Content
Photos containing offensive or prohibited material that isn’t suitable for WiFi Map will be blocked. We want to create a respectful and inclusive platform for all users.Irrelevant Content
Photos should be directly relevant to the place. Images that don’t show the actual location, interior, or exterior don’t provide value to others.Location Mismatch
If a photo was taken far from the actual place, it may be flagged. Photos should accurately represent the location to help other users.Edited or Downloaded Images
Photos need to be original and taken with a phone camera. Images from external sources (like stock photos, screenshots, or downloads) are not accepted.Low Quality
Blurry, dark, or low-resolution photos can’t effectively show the details of a place and may be removed.User Complaints
If we receive complaints about a photo and they are validated, the photo may be blocked to maintain quality.
Why a Review May Be Blocked
Inappropriate Language
Reviews with offensive or prohibited words that go against our guidelines will be blocked.Spam or Nonsense
Reviews should provide meaningful insights. Reviews that are too short, irrelevant, or lack valuable feedback may be blocked.Location Mismatch
Reviews should be submitted when near the place; if submitted from far away, they may be flagged.User Complaints
When complaints are reviewed and accepted, the review may be blocked to ensure accuracy and relevance.
Why a Place May Be Blocked

If a place includes at least one offensive or prohibited photo, it may be blocked.Lack of Relevant Photos
