Re: Private Appeal Process Needed
Lot of overthinking in this discussion. That wayspot is in a city where Google Maps shows property lines. Take a look:
Niantic is being fussy on this one, but that's their right. It's their database.
Sometimes, you just to accept you're not going to win them all.
Re: LDS and Niantic Games
Somebody at Niantic typed up a whole bunch of rules and requirements relating to Routes that included language banning proselytizing. They want their stuff to appear either neutral or positive for the community as a whole. It won't be a positive look if factions are fighting over title/description edits.
Re: Drake Village appeal
You can't appeal rejected nominations here. You need to wait until it's been 25 days since your last appeal in wayfarer and then the button will appear for you to use it.
That said, the sign itself doesn't really seem to meet criteria. Maybe try resubmitting it as a coffee shop rather than a sign?
Re: Invalid Wayspot Appeal (Water Fountain)
After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to retire the Wayspot in question. Thanks!

Re: 2 legit portals removed
There's a difference between "single family private residential property" and "private property". Things on the property of a business, or on a multi-family property such as a block of flats/apartments, are fine. It's just things on single family private residences that are the issue. If you think you have found other wayspots on single family private residential property, you can report them as invalid.
Re: How to see the status of a ticket on Wayfarer Support
Can you think of a single other company where users aren't able to view their reports or tickets? Or sends no no email or text about its resolution?
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
