Re: Biking and hiking trail markers
The top one is not a Trail Marker, because it does not belong to a trail (that is why there is no name on it).
It's a Knooppunt, which are signs people can use to invent their own routes - you have signs like this at nearly every crossroad in all directions with dozens in a small area.
It is the biggest point of discussion in Belgium and approval depends on where you live.

Re: Invalid Portal Rejection Appeal
Appeal Accepted - Thanks for the appeal, Agent. We gave this a second look and after reviewing the additional evidence provided, we've decided to retire the Portals in question.

Re: Russia Challenge Feedback
I changed my home town to Russia but have only received one review from there. I still only get reviews from my original home town.

Re: Explain to me how this works like I'm a 5 years old.
I hope you don't review like a 5 year old... although i bet 5 year old's would do better than the monkeys rejecting everything for "explicit activity"

Re: Advice on nomination
That's not the way reviewing works. We have to review based on guidelines, in them we have to confirm something is permanent, which is your biggest obstacle.

Re: TheSilphRoad encouraging players to join the challenge now that rewards are garunteed
That is a problem even outside of the challenge. I know a player who plays all 3 Niantic games and he already gets more submissions than I do. Plus he has multiple accounts in every one of those games. He is always telling me I need to submit the things I see but I am constantly waiting for submissions. It will take me many years to get everything I have seen into the games and he has submissions expire because he can't use them all. He signed up for the challenge on 3 of his accounts.

Invalid Portal Appeal
Title of the Wayspot: ZHICHENG GARDEN
Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=31.153498,121.312107&z=17&pll=31.153498,121.312107
City: Shanghai
Country: China
Screenshot of the Rejection Email:
Photos to support your claim:
Additional information:
Refer to the attached photos and onsite scanned video (attached), I cannot see any ZHICHENG GARDEN located at the target location. Portal photo is a street lamp, similar to the photo I captured. I assume this is ZHICHENG GARDEN ...?
By reading the portal criteria again, I don't think this could be a portal coz it's too generic. Please review it again.
Thanks!

Re: Shopping Center
Those were mistakenly approved due to a previous miscommunication and misunderstanding. Ninatic later clarified that the location must be a public meeting space and not simply a row of stores. Second, the eligibility and removal criteria are two separate entities. Wayspots will only be removed if they meet the removal criteria, even if those same Wayspots no longer meet or never did meet the eligibility criteria.

Re: Positive and negative elements of wayfarer
I find the MAJORITY of my upgraded nominations get approved. I assume it is because since they are being sent to a wider audience of reviewers that these reviewers better understand the acceptance criteria. I work hard at reviewing so that I can earn more upgrades and get decisions faster.
When I do have a nomination rejected I try to look at it through the eyes of the reviewers. What didn't I explain well enough for them to understand how this meets criteria? How can I alter the picture, title, and description to better show off the POI and make it obvious why it should be approved? Then I resubmit.

Re: Haven't seen any nominations from Russia
Same here. When I set my home location to Russia a few days ago I immediately received nomations from there. Around 20% were from the new location. But now it suddenly stopped. I reviewed the whole evening and didn't get a single portal from Russia - instead I started to receive nominations from my old home location. I checked my profile settings but the home location marker ist still set to Russia. Strange...
