Re: Local nominations?
Wow are you in North Carolina in the Research Triangle area? That is the same mix of nomination locations I see. Stuff takes forever to get reviewed here, and I know there are undecided nominations out there.
Re: Has the AI or Staff rejected all old edits?
As users, we would appreciate it if the Machine was given a bunch of old, already-decided cases to Learn from, and not allowed to impact our work unless or until it is clearly ready for the task.
Niantic keeps on throwing away our effort in the hope that Emily will learn from it, eventually.
I don't know of any aspect of theory or practice that says they have to harm us before they help. Do you?
Re: New Forum, New Adventures, Same Explorer Community - Discussion
Oh no, I'm well aware that changing the forum structure won't make Niantic better at communicating, that's completely their failing.
I suppose I'm venting somewhat, trying to make my voice and many others heard in the hope that this fresh start might spur the team to make some positive changes.
Re: LDS and Niantic Games
Just look at the Mission Creator map. There were already accepted edits across the country when I checked last week
Re: LDS and Niantic Games
Please refrain from spreading misinformation. The Wayspot you reported is not on the property of a private residential property. It is on a publicly accessible location with safe pedestrian access.

Re: Emily does a good job, but
When we review photo edits in Wayfarer, we cannot remove old photos, just accept new ones or not. If a photo is truly bad and should be removed, you can report to help chat. They have removed photos for me.
Re: LDS and Niantic Games
Well in the neighborhoods around here it is the homeowners responsibility to maintain that ****. I don't have a **** in front but I do have a city alley behind my house and I am responsible for keeping it clean and weed/plant/trash free. But in my case a PokeStop or gym would in no way interfere with a homeowner entering and leaving the property.
I have ALWAYS denied things in front of or near residential driveways. Interestingly enough I nominated 4 murals on the outer back walls of houses that are adjacent to main arterial streets and alleys, and Niantic rejected 3 out of 4 with no explanation (direct to Niantic voting).
Re: Clarification Needed: "Are any of these locations a duplicate of this wayspot?"
At first I had to go along with @HankWolfman-PGO here.
If you are asked about duplicates of a Wayspot, you are not supposed to flag things that appear to match each other, nor things that appear to be in the same vicinity as the Wayspot under consideration.
However, Niantic also instructs us to flag - as duplicate - things that are 'close by' that are serving as proxy for the same thing. That's how we are expected to handle for instance: nominations of individual play structures in the same playground.
There's always been a bit too much fuzziness there. A large park could contain many points of interest, but each playground could only count as a single one of these. Meanwhile, fitness objects in the same park could each be approved individually, and signs and disparate features qualified, too.
The photos here are small and blurry but if the objects are all merely proxies for the same plaza/picnic area only one should be accepted and all the rest should be flagged as dupes.

Missing routes still missing.
Maybe the memory cheats but I can't remember the Rate Route button being on walked badges list?
Elevation graphic is borked too.
Re: Exclusive New Pokémon GO Feature Comes to Explorers - Routes Creation - Discussion
There are many aspects of the closing of this forum that are going to feel sad, and satisfied at the same time.
i know it’s not been universally welcomed but this epic thread will finally come to an end.
Those are some very impressive numbers. I like to think an awful lot of people have had useful support over the past 9 months from all the sharing of info here. Creating in game content comes naturally to wayfinders 😎
Task well done.
Now if only the routes team had joined in 🙄🤔
