Thank you😄

Re: Hiking trails/trailmarkers - whats eligeble?
"As long as the marker represents a trail it should be accepted." Every single marker. A trail is a much larger object than a playground, cathedral or soccer field.
From the (now defunct) "Potentially confusing nominations" page:
Objects installed in a series - Objects installed in a series can be submitted as a group or individually, depending on the distance between them. If they are relatively close together and share a single sign, consider them as a single Wayspot, but please ensure that the objects are in fact related before nominating. If they are relatively far apart, consider them as multiple Wayspots.
Definitions like these didn't change with the new criteria. To me that means, if the trail crosses a street, and there is a marker on each side of the street, then those markers are duplicates. Otherwise, they are not. In those cases, they would be within 20m of each other anyway.

Re: Welcome to 2021: Wayfarer 3.4
As you're asking for feedback, here are my top priorities for Wayfarer:
- A solution for 'stuck' nominations. My preference would be for very experienced users (top rating + 10000 reviews?) to be given the option to switch between seeing nominations in the usual order and "'oldest first, worldwide" order.
- A solution for the excessive cooldowns problem. Either remove them or be clear about what you want us to do differently. At the moment they achieve nothing but annoying your volunteers. Some of us are deliberately giving wrong ratings to avoid patterns!
- A solution for the 'you have nothing to review / good job' problem. I know Niantic have marked this as 'working as intended', but users very strongly disagree, and find it massively frustrating that they are prevented from assisting with the huge backlog of reviews for no discernable reason.
- Remove small minority reasons from rejection emails. A large portion of appeal threads on this forum are complaints about a wildly inaccurate reason for rejection appearing in the rejection email when a correct reason is also listed. It appears that if reviewers give more than one reason, all those reasons are presented to the submitter. Filtering out reasons given by very few reviewers would resolve this.
- Feature request: Language filtering (or an embedded translation service).

Introduction of banned words made my city name unusable
I can't use my city name in titles or description anymore because it ends with "-ano" (like many, many north-italian cities). How am I supposed to write precise titles and descriptions if I can't use my city name in them?
I'm sure it's my city name because after removing it my submission went through.

Re: A Player Doing fake reports
This proves nothing.
Google accounts can be deleted from the phone, Likes can be removed and given with another account, Bouffalants in the box show nothing. The Bouffalants could be a proof, but only if you take a video, showing the profile, the dex entry and then all bouffalants in your box. And it's only proof, if the number of box-bouffalants is equal to the catch-umber in the dex.

Re: Mass Personal identifier abuse
Title Guidelines
Don't submit titles that:
- Include real names, initials, codenames, or faction/team names
Seems a valid post by the OP to me.

Re: Husband and Wife, can they both be Wayfarer helpers?
You will most likely not get submissions from your hometown.
Of course you can both be active wayfarers. There is no kind of problem with it. You can also help each other with the criteria ect.

Re: Introduction of banned words made my city name unusable
I hope you appreciate the irony of this being your tenth post...

Re: Wayspot restore appeal of Cine Arte Palace
You've been extremely hostile throughout this entire topic. Others have already pointed out the reason why Niantic could have removed the Wayspot, but all you can do is attack them for relaying something that seems rather obvious. It doesn't matter if the information on Google Maps is incorrect, that is what Niantic relied on when verify an invalid Wayspot report. And that is the hurtle you will have to cross by showing that the information on Google maps is false. But because of the attitude you had with others for simply helping you, it doesn't help your chances of getting the Wayspot restored.

Re: Wayspot restore appeal of Cine Arte Palace
Oh my. Don't getting insulted by these people who trying to help you. It's your job to prove that building is really a tertiarry educational institution and not K-12 school.
Take some photo of the entrance of that building, including the people who enter and exit that building. Isn't that not hard to prove?
