Re: 1 cell 17 many pokestops
Hey folks,
The Wayspots that are eligible to appear in Pokémon GO should be back live on the gameboard.
Thanks,

Re: Wayspot looking generic at first glance
I understand what they were looking at. I was trying to explain to them that those statements are not the "official criteria." Those are the general concept.
Re: LDS and Niantic Games
I don't understand why you state that their description is advertising.
What kind of description do you expect for a church?
People go there to pray, meet with other people that share the same belief on Christ and talk about him. If you don't believe in Christ I don't think that reading that description might turn you into a believer.
All the churchs are the same (unless you're talking about Cathedrals or other historic churches in Europe with great pieces of art), so I find quite natural that their description are all the same boring statements about their faith.
The part that doesn't make sense to me is to put the same title to all the churches, each one has a location and I don't know anything about those saints of last days (it reminds me of Saint Seiya 😂) but every catholic church has a unique name as it honors a different saint or Virgin Mary or Jesus. If I tell the name of a church in my city to another person he can know exactly which one I'm talking about even if there are tens of churches through out the city (of course they might not know that church unless they are catholic and/or live nearby, but they can search for that name as it won't have the same name as any other church in the city)
Re: Nomination Rejected
I'm not sure how pubs are viewed by reviewers in the US but here in the UK they are usually accepted.
Your picture could do without the hire scooter and showing less of the road. Straight on the doorway with sign might work better?
I can't really see the pub in your support, the first thing I see is the road. The support pic is for reviewers to easily see it' context to the surrounding location so it's not dangerous etc etc
I wouldn't mention a specific game in title, description or support. Saying people walk along the pavement doesn't really help with selling what is great about the pub.
This might be irrelevant if pubs are usually rejected in the US though.
A couple of accepted if this helps.
Re: The title or description is misspelled
Generally I'll still accept the odd typo so long as the nomination is still legible overall and the typo doesn't result in an offensive term. Text can easily be edited after a wayspot is accepted.
If the text is really bad and you're struggling to understand it, then that's getting towards the point where I would think about rejecting it.
Re: Are veterinarian offices allowed as a pokestop?
@buffalowingwear-PGO HankWolfman And WheelTrekker cover the key points.
I will say though that look around the Vets. I know a few Vets that have amazing Artwork on their outside walls. Another with a sculpture out front. So Yes by itself a Vets may not meet the exercise, explore or socialise criteria however it may have features that meet them. And provided they meet the acceptability criteria then they may pass.
Not saying yours does. But hey. Good luck
Re: Historic Lighthouse. Bad Appeal Decision
Which is sad, honestly, because that's a really cool lighthouse. If nothing else thanks for the opportunity to learn about it!
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
To date, we see no change in the way Niantic addresses this. Warnings are still being issued and I have even seen people's accounts banned for nominating trail markers of well-documented routes.
What has clearly gone wrong here is that you seemed to have changed the rules silently, and then started to threaten the accounts of people who did the work according to guidelines. When I look in the "Eligibility" section of the Wayfarer site, trail markers are STILL listed as examples of eligible nominations, yet the best documented ones are removed and worse: accounts have been suspended. How can you possibly explain this contradiction?
It would suit you to formally apologize for this behavior, and reimburse the people who had their accounts suspended.
