Google Flagged a Post Due to Questionable Content

On my Google Plus I created a community of Create Online Business with Wealthy Affiliate, as of the moment it has only 18 members.

This is the community where I am sharing every post I create on my sites. Actually I shared the latest update from Kyle's post.

There are several sites coming around from the community of WA sharing their posts and they are great. Most of them are images and videos.

But there's one site that has been appearing for moderation . . .


and I saw this statement on the center top of the window which says :
Google+ flagged these posts due to questionable content.
As a moderator, you can decide if they’re OK for the community to view.



So if you are the owner what should you do?
remove post
remove, report, and ban
ban member

What do you think is the best action to do?

Looking into one of the links provided by the site I would consider it and I agree that it has a questionable content. Why? It discusses about the UBER Company and it does not show how anyone can join, how you can acquire a car and drive your own. Rather it discusses about an Apps that they should use to earn a certain amount.

Meaning, the presenter has quoted details from different websites on the earnings of UBER Company members just to lure the audience and suggests an Apps to be installed to have the earnings therein. This is just one concern that they have used to promote their unjustifiable claim on fast profit.

What can you say?

Remove the post. The owner should be contacted and be made aware of the policies we need to follow. If the owner does it again, then owner should be ban.

Yes, I removed some but there are so many so I pressed ban.

Sounds like spam.
Google has also flagged them up.
I feel you should delete them so they don't contaminate the group.

I did it so Juliet. Thank you for joining the discussion.

They don't have any conscious, just ban them.

I did it, Nick, there are many unbelievable claims which I don't like.

It's ok to ban people at the first sign of trouble. They usually don't listen to reason, and they ignore warnings. Get rid of them, and don't look back. You want your online groups and communities to have value - spammers bring down the value considerably.

That's the wisdom.

Aside from the spam issue, you say, "This is the community where I am sharing every post I create on my sites. Actually I shared the latest update from Kyle's post."

Isn't this also a "duplicate content" issue, Jimmy?

Just the link to the update so people through my G+ will read it.

Depending in the rules you have set up, it it is a violation, I would remove the post. In the sharing comment group I admin on FB, I have had to ban a few people now....

Clearly they know that no spamming is allowed, and that is generally the rules for most groups these days...I used to give a warning, these days no more...

Allowing spam makes the experience not as valuable for all the other members that follow the rules, and in this case, I think Google was right to flag it for you...

Google is more touchy than some platforms too from what I have experienced. With some of the tools that we use to automate posts, likes, shares, and comments, we normally do not mess with Google Plus...

Cheers!
Dave : )

Yes, Dave, I am removing the posts but it's too many. I'd rather ban it so it cannot post. Thank you for coming into the discussion.

To me it looks like spam. It's your obligation as moderator to keep your group spam-free or not as you see fit.

Right, Marion. So I have to read their posts and found that they are using other sites to deceive other people.

I looked at Uber Jimmy. It seems they are more concerned about getting drivers than riders. that may be showing up in the content!

Actually, it's not the UBER is advertising Mike, instead, UBER is being used the by the post I am referring to.
