Systems? There's more than one AI?
We're DOOMED!
Just another issue they took their sweet time on...

Re: The no duplicate button has done a runner
@AlexMTG-PGO Good point.Though that will rub people up the wrong way ;-)
Personally I it had zero impact on how I reviewed. So for me it was of no consequence there or not. As I always check.
I was just intrigued as to it suddenly disappearing. Because I used it and was quite used to it.
Of all the fix ups Niantic had to do in this new review process this was an easy code change to do - but my feeling is it impacted the few noisy people who did not like it and probs operated at speed. Not those for whom it had little impact. and there are more pressing design/UX things they should have addressed
But that is an assumption. Oh well onwards to another review
Re: Exclusive New Pokémon GO Feature Comes to Explorers - Routes Creation - Discussion
How did you meet Matteo. I am still waiting. Finished challenge. But the Matteo one. Dunno...Nothing moving there
No new routes appeared and none moved from review queue. Logic not at play
Re: Terrible AI filter rejected my lighthouse
- Isn't the lighthouse photo well-composed for human viewing, though? The structure isn't anything like as pretty as the scenic setting.
- This is Niantic's example of an excellent nomination:
Including the context makes a more photogenic scene that people will prefer.
Having no sea, sky, or plant-life satisfies the AI.
Does everybody recognize the problem, now?

Re: The Endless Spam of Turramurra
You can guess it from supporting information alone: "easy access via the footpath as seen in the supporting photo".

Re: New Onboarding & Review Flow - Discussion
Please please let me select three thumbs down for eligibility and get a confirm pop up with optional text field.
We should not have to trawl through all the acceptable criteria to say it is not eligible.
I had a common car parking rules sign today. Again. You make me trawl through the whole process when all I need to do is hit three thumbs down.
And where is the common, generic, mass produced and non unique thumbs down rejection option?
What if I bat my eye lids.... blink blink. Just seeing if nice works :-)
Re: I don't understand why my wayspot was declined
The "what is it?" categories are irrelevant as to whether your nomination gets accepted or rejected. They're just categories for Niantic's database.
I would appeal this once you have an appeal available, and if you're ever submitting fitness businesses again, I suggest you include a link to the below comment in your supporting info reiterating that these locations are valid.
That being said, it does appear to be a chain, so that's likely why it was voted as a generic business. If it's the only place people can go to do martial arts in the local area, you need to make reviewers aware of that.
