Re: Wayspots for pokemon/Ingress in conflict?
If a Wayspot exists where it is pinned and doesn't show in Pokemon Go, then it was never going to show in Pokemon Go. One game did not "ruin" another.
Whether a Wayspot will show in Pokemon Go has nothing to do with whether it is used in any other game. Google search "S2 cells and Pokemon Go" for an understanding of Pogo inclusion rules. They chose to keep this information hidden, but players figured out that something has to be alone in an L17 S2 cell to show in Pokemon Go.
Ingress makes the inclusion rule for that game clear to players - just can't be within 20m of another Portal.
If the Wayspot is not pinned correctly, you can still ask help chat to move it to the correct location. Moving a Wayspot simply for game reasons has been called abuse. So be sure it is actually a correction if you submit a location edit request.
Re: The Best and The Worst of the Wayfarer forums
It's been 345 months since my nomination was accepted why can't I see my P0kerst0pz are the best threads.
I love those💙
How do you create a nomination
I’ve been looking on wayfare and it doesn’t tell me how to creat a nomination
Re: Trailmarker
Also it was a very old nomination because it was one from 2023 the time where no one was having doubts or discussion about trailmarkers
And the mail says i should learn from it but what about the POIs still in voting i can't take them out or something
Also at this moment it is very unclear to me and many others what trailmarkers are eligible and what aren't...
Re: Trailmarker
Yes a GR route trailmarker but at this moment i still have two other trailmarkers (no GR but a mountainbike route and a local walking trail) in voting before i got this warning so hope I won't get banned it has been years every trailmarker was good and suddenly it's not how can reviewers even follow if niantic changes constantly
Also i nominated over hundreds of pois and like 95% got through so i don't feel it's fair to get a warning because of one nomination that's a trailmarker definitely if i see stuff like parking ticket automats in the game...
These bans or warnings will make the reviewing system broken because no one will even dare to nominate something it is not abusing a system if the system got a lot of it through without any problem.
Re: Sensitive Location?
I would try again, but as others have said - memorial plaques for non-notable people are generally not distinct. However, I think this one is lovely and perhaps you could spin the submission slightly differently - "Win and Len's Favourite Spot". If you could find out who they were then that might be a good addition to the supporting evidence section.
Re: Sensitive Location?
Perfectly acceptable. Reviewers are getting beyond a joke with these memorials or historical gravestones and cemetery locations. Get over it. No one is disrespecting anyone because they have a phone in their hand playing a game.
Re: Sensitive Location?
I see these all the time. There is NOTHING WRONG OR SENSITIVE about this. The entire reason for a plaque is for the name sake remembrance. You have to understand that the reason someone puts these up. Is because of a belief that a person continues as long as someone knows their name. If it be a traveler just passing by. Or some person/persons playing a game. How my benches have you excepted with a name you never knew. This is a thought of a soul nothing greater you could do for someone. Except give your own for theirs. Have we as a people really forgetting so much?
Re: Why can’t an area for activity not be approved?
The lack of rejection reason usually means the automated filter (who we call Emily around here) decided your nomination was low quality and rejected it. Your picture is of a rock, and Emily probably doesn't like rocks.
If you're nominating the park, it usually helps to take a picture of the sign for the park. If it doesn't have a sign, then it's still eligible, but it's harder to get approved. You should resubmit this, but take a wider photo of the area, showing more of the park, and then this will also likely get rejected by Emily for having too much greenery. However, so long as you provide enough evidence that it is a park without a sign, you would probably be able to appeal it and get it accepted.
Re: Trailmarker
This was the mail but like i stated previously it is on an old nomination from 2023 where there were no discussions about trailmarkers also in that specific area there isn't any GR trail that's in the game
