Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
Please come back in a few minutes and see all the disagrees on this post. "Not considered good"... the community disagrees. We are told "use your best judgement". When I review im answering 7 very specific questions... none of those asks me if theres a name on my trail marker, if the name is spelled out or in color or shape form, whether it includes distance or a map. It asks me if a great place to explore (check), if its a great place to exercise (check). @NianticAaron @NianticTintino-ING @NianThib Listen to your community, listen to your Ambassadors.

"the ones with just numbers or arrows are not considered good"
I sincerely hope the team spends more time on this as it's a stark contrast to previous guidance on trail markers and many wayfarers (ambos included) strongly disagree with this stance.

Looks like justmeister has been busy again.
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
Have you ever tried removing one? Don't do it. It is considered vandalism. But they don't come of easily. And in case where one is removed or damaged, contacting the people responsible for the trail will get the sticker replaced faster than reporting it to Niantic will get the wayspot removed.
Don't talk confidently about something you don't understand.
Re: Is it worth it to buy a camera for wayfarer?
You shouldn't have to.
Even a low spec phone is perfectly adequate for submitting pics

Hello Everyone
Can I just remind everyone to be respectful to fellow wayfarers. Wayfarer is not the place to talk about any ingame disagreements.
All that is needed here is the wayspot and reasons why it should be restored. There is no need for speculation around why it was removed.
there is also no value in multiple voices saying the same thing. A simple case without reference to any game as to why this is a suitable wayspot, fully explaining any issues that might be perceived such as safe access is what is needed.
Re: Please restore portal: "Route naar knooppunt 40 (FNRGV)"
It is in rural country, and I met a few runners when there. So yeah, the road is used by all, and it's a 30 km/h road. I dont see why I need to convince anyone. This portal was removed for only 1 reason, and that was because it was part of an ML. But if NIA says that was the reason and they want furter information, then I will provide that. PS this is the 2nd portal of an ML that got removed. All other signs and portals on this /sarcasm on "very unsafe" /sarcasm off road are still there.
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
Vinyl sticker trail markers are designed to have several years life so shouldn't be considered temporary.
Re: Clothing Drop Box Locations
I would imagine that any which have been accepted were done so mistakenly, as a clothing drop box isn't a great place to socialise, exercise or explore.
Re: Signless Parks - to be, or not to be
I think we all understand the issue, but you haven't provided any information about the nomination you had rejected, hence we can only give opinions and the experiences that we have had with this issue. I think almost all Wayfarers have had issues with the community and appeals team rejecting nominations we believe meet criteria, and have called them out from time to time.
As I previously noted, we can certainly take a look at what you submitted to see if there is any improvement needed. I think that is the main point others are also trying to get across that the nominations may need improvement, or better information may have needed to be provided with the appeal.
Again, feel free to post a screenshot of your rejected nomination, and it can certainly be looked at. It'll also help Niantic know what to pass along to the appeals team, as from time to time, they, too, need reminders.
