Re: Issue with Arena Formation Following New PokeStop
That's not how the rules work. If you have 5 Pokéstops and 2 Gyms in one Level 14 S2 Cell, that's working correctly, as you get a Gym at 2, 6 and 20 active wayspots in the Cell. So you need 13 more Pokéstops in order for the third Gym to be created. This also isn't particularly a Wayfarer issue.

All accounts that have received well-deserved bans here will again gleefully create their foolishness on the new forum? Good luck to all of us.
Re: Nomination Not Accepted: Temporary/Seasonal or Not Distinct
three of my trailmarkers have been rejected by exact the same reason. I just think its some people that dislike trailmarkers as waypoints. Hard to get them through, they must have had enough positive rewievs, as they have been in voting for over a month. It feels like you need, lets say 20 upvotes to get something through, but only 5 don`t ,to bash it away.

The end of the universe... Just Niantic support saying 'Thanks for your report, explorer '
Re: Chased off By the manger
I honestly didn’t think we were being disrespectful in anyway. I understand why she was wanted us to leave, but the parking lot was empty. When she ask us to leave, we just said okay and left. I will say, we won’t be going back as Pokemon players or customers. Most of us have been there before for coffee, and that is why we were so taken back by her response. I don’t feel like we should have to buy something to use a gym, that being said my wife was planning on going in to get us something after the raid. I do understand this is not a wayfarer problem, but a lot of ppl here are very knowledgeable about things like this, and give good advice. I appreciate the advice. We’re not certain what we’re gonna do yet.
Re: Chased off By the manger
@Zuddy1-PGO You weren't being asked to buy something to use a gym... you were being asked to buy something in order to use private property. The fact that you happened to be using that property to play a mobile game is completely irrelevant to the discussion, and the manager's request was perfectly reasonable. I understand that this is frustrating to you, but although I don't know the specifics it's very likely that you could have raided at the shop without trespassing.
My advice, as someone with a decade of learning how to play mobile games respectfully and unobtrusively, is to approach this as a learning experience.
Re: Has the AI or Staff rejected all old edits?
@NianticTintino-ING, in addition to and distinctly different from the "Edit Apocalypse", the ongoing issue of new title edits being auto-rejected immediately upon submission is also extremely frustrating. Title edits are now auto-rejected frequently and seemingly randomly regardless of the quality of the edit. Once a title edit has been auto-rejected once, re-submitting the same title edit will always result in an auto-rejection. This is especially aggravating because in my personal experience, this has happened to me for very high quality title corrections, even just typo corrections. These edits should be reviewed by the actual community, not auto-rejected by a bot, and the community should decide whether to accept or reject them. At this point, it seems like Niantic's AI tool cannot handle this job of initial screening. It needs to be be able to do its job without mistakenly rejecting high quality submissions.
Re: New Forum, New Adventures, Same Explorer Community - Discussion
I am one of the Ambassadors that is very active on the forum. I belong to this very diverse community.
I have been vocal over the years about the lack of moderation. Even before I became an Ambassador I would find myself making posts asking for those arguing to calm down and stop. It is not a nice experience trying to read posts that are vitriolic or having to work up the courage to post if there is a high likelihood of belittled.
It can also be frustrating to see someone post in completely the wrong area and point out they will be better reposting.🙄 Or see 4 new threads created as someone who is including photos is confused as to why their post keeps disappearing. 🤔 Regular users know what can happen at weekends with a lack of staff support.
It’s absolutely right that questions should be raised about this change, which I am clear is on a pilot basis and subject to review. I welcome comments about this….hopes, fears, concerns. I would rather hear them in the open so they can be considered.
Re: New Forum, New Adventures, Same Explorer Community - Discussion
They do state that it's a test phase and that it will be revisited if needed. If it doesn't work out well, then presumably those privileges would be removed and they'd go back to how they currently are.
I'm all in favour of the test going ahead as there's been many times where threads have devolved into things like Ingress faction fights that have no real place on the forum, and the ambassadors have tried to get everyone to be reasonable and behave, but haven't had the tools to make it happen.
Re: New Forum, New Adventures, Same Explorer Community - Discussion
Ambassadors having more abilities to keep the forum functioning smoothly and fairly is probably the least of my concerns when it comes to Wayfarer.
That's just my personal opinion though and I'd even say the same about the horrible ones.
