Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, no one is trying to claim otherwise. Yours is very clearly in the minority here, but you are still entitled to it. You are being very acerbic with the way you're presenting that opinion though (it honestly feels like you're bordering on trollish behaviour), and that's likely why you're getting the replies that you are. A little bit more courtesy and politeness would likely earn you the same courtesy and politeness from other users (though I don't expect the number of disagrees you're getting to go down, as clearly a lot of people do disagree with your opinion, and that's completely valid).
I wholeheartedly disagree with the fact that users are getting warnings for things that have been (and to all intents should still be) prime examples of perfectly acceptable wayspots. I also wholeheartedly disagree that they're low quality wayspots, as that's somewhat subjective and they do exactly what they're meant to do - get people out exercising and navigating trails.
Re: Trailmarker
I have no pretense at being insightful the opposite in fact.
I do have some nice walks for you if you'd like to chill out a bit :)
Re: American college student collaboration center nomination improvement
- We're not given what exactly triggers the AI/ML.
- What I can say is that mileage may vary.
When you say people hang out, do they do academic requirements collaboratively or is it more of socializing? I'd bump up what interactive activities can be done there and past/recurring social events but the articles point to being more of a workspace than a social space.
The room can also be seen as a part of a larger POI. It is not very established what activities would be held in the room wrt criteria vs the building as a whole, one can argue that the building itself is the center for academic exploration and resource center for <Insert Area of Study>. Even then, this argument will have split opinions IMO.
Re: 2 pokestop stuck
Are you selecting "Upgrade" or "Upgrade Next"? You can apply an Upgrade if you have one. If the button is grayed out, then you don't have an Upgrade to use.
That error where you can't apply an "Upgrade Next" to an in-voting nom has existed ever since they brought back Upgrade Next after removing it when they gave us the ability to turn "Automatically-apply Upgrade" to off in settings.
Re: Trailmarker
The discs (or whatever) might be identical but the way they are fixed to posts, fences and generally positioned usually make the trail markers easily distinguishable from each other - I don't think I've walked a trail where it's difficult to tell points on the trail apart. The point of trail markers is to clearly mark a route, and the authorities who position them are generally very good at their job. Try walking a few trails and see if you have difficulties, I doubt you will.
Re: Trailmarker
again, everyone who is still saying "geez ban these players that submit trailmarkers" - get out and walk on a wandering trail. Here in Germany you can walk for hours on amazing, natural, recreative and adventurous walking/wandering trails.
www.wanderreitkarte.de
If Niantic isnt able to see that these wandering trails are 5* candidates, then i dont know. Who cares what color, what size, what material the trail markers are? They are just there to guide the trail. A pokestop or gym (not talking about the other thing) is a perfect companion along the wandering trail.
People talking about the material and that they are ineglible because they are "machine made" and so forth dont have a fraggles clue what this is about. Also people here moaning that they have no cultural value or have to be distinguable - get outta here. You havent walked a second on a wandering trail and you still havent got what this is all about.
It´s not about the wayspots, its the wandering trail itself that is the POI, and it is just represented by the trailmarkers.

Re: Love a fake nomination
I see that this nomination has already been rejected by the community. We are already reviewing other submission from this submitter and will take necessary action once the review is complete. Thanks,

Re: New Forum, New Adventures, Same Explorer Community - Discussion
Yay! No more prior clarifications to try to figure out if they still apply. Wipe the slate clean.
