It isnt in the Portal Networks interest to have Users pressure Others to have Something accepted.
It is Not okay to choose false reasons, that is for Sure.

Re: Thoughts On This Bakery Nomination?
I like it, though I think youre gonna have a tough sell with others.
A couple of points.
The main picture isn't the best, I can see from the support pic why you did it like that, but it does nothing to help the nomination, and may actually cause some to reject it for low pic quality and makes the shop look a bit drab.
Is there always cars there? Maybe an early morning late arvo pic may help, or a Sunday? .
Also consider a re write of the description and support statement. The key points are there but it doesn't read as snappy as it could be.
Apart from that id say its a good sub of a quality local business.

Re: TheSilphRoad encouraging players to join the challenge now that rewards are garunteed
I don’t think people should be punished for not joining beforehand. I’m very active member of my local pogo community and no one of us was aware that there even was a Russia challenge. I only found out through a wayfarer fb group I’m in and then passed on the information.
So unless they start promoting these more, there shouldn’t be a disadvantage to late joiners.
(I don’t agree with cheating the exam, I think it should all be done in an honest way)

Re: Proper Rewards
I don’t care. It was really paintfull to reach lvl 38 in pogo because the were no wayspot at less than 20km . I wait 4,5years to enjoy pogo.
having fast answer now is a good compensation for all theses years without any wayspot.

Wayfarer Overhaul - 1 Year Review time
Hi all, Hi Niantic if you are reading.
Your wayfarer system is broken, you introduced millions of new players to submit with no real limits, and no real drive to review to help with the huge influx of submissions.
I have submissions made over a year ago that are in the queue, I have submissions that have been "in voting" for 6 months.
You need to either,
*Stop new submissions for pokemon players
*limit the number of submissions everyone can make (2 per 14 days)
*reward reviewing with a submission*
(100 agreements earns you a submission)
Offer a wayfarer event that's actually worth doing.
Seriously it's as if you've forgotten how bad this system is, and it's not good enough. Decent reviewers are stuck on poor/fair rating and their ratings aren't counted towards badges.
Please fix this.

Russia Challenge Feedback
This is the first of the challenges I have participated in. It seems to have been a great success, so far more than doubling the initial goal. I had fun with it personally and am pleased with the upcoming rewards.
These things helped a lot with getting people excited about reviewing:
- Letting people know the actual rewards from the start,
- Being clear that yes, you can change your location back at the end of the event
- Being more responsive/helpful on the forum
Some suggestions I have for making future events even better:
- Logic prioritizing challenge areas - the ideal situation IMO would have a toggle or checkbox that when set to on, only feeds submissions from that area. I frequently had long stretches of no Russian reviews even when I was in the mood to do them.
- Allowing multiple hometown/bonus resets during the course of the event. I and others noticed a steep drop off of Russian reviews after the initial batch in the hometown I chose (so much so that I moved my Bonus to Moscow to keep helping out, even though it may be stuck there for up to a year). Some people chose remote areas and got no Russian reviews at all. It would be good to be able to move around to help out different areas.
- If not the above, then either let us review country-wide for the target country, or at the least a list of target cities/locations with large backlogs that need extra help.
Thanks for reading!

Re: The new goal, 7,000+ New Wayspots Accepted, gives you 10 Wayfarer upgrades and other rewards
It's a really nice gesture. Many local players in my area got interested in the event when they announced the 5 upgrade reward. The possibility to get 5 more is really appreciated. Thanks to Niantic for this generous opportunity.

Re: Why even bother anymore?
Just chiming in here to agree with the other posters. "Free mulch" is a useful service for a city to provide. That does not, however, mean that the mulch pickup site meets the criteria to be accepted as a wayspot.

Re: Legit Nomination Rejected- Need to Reconsider
As your mail mentioned, you can't appeal rejected nominations. If you think it is eligible, you can resubmit it.
Niantic workers don't review our nominations, other players do it, and it was rejected by them (other players).
If you post full screenshots of your nomination (with both photos, all text and location), we can try to give you some advice if you can improve your nomination in a way that it will get more chance of being accepted when you nominate it again. It's the only thing we can help you with.

Extended goal reached!
As the title says, we've already smashed the extended goal of 7000 new Wayspots in Russia. Good going, everyone!
When we hit the previous goal of 3000, we as a community were cheeky and asked for extended rewards, and to Niantic's credit, they set us the extended goal with double rewards. So, in the spirit of the previous post, I was thinking 10,000 new wayspots seems like a reasonable target. It would be nice if we got some extra goodies if we reach it. Is the team feeling up to being generous @NianticCasey-ING @NianticGiffard?
