Like you can see, the rejection reason "inappropiate" (German: Ort ist unangemessen/unangemessener Ort) exists twice, just with a different expression.
The two little explainations are different.

Thanks for flagging, I'm surfacing this with the Wayfarer team. I wonder if this is a translation / localization error that made its way into this release.
Yes, it is.
It should be someting like "Ort ist unangemessen" and "Ungeeigneter Ort" (first is Glory Hole Booth or Liquour Shop, second is Graveyard)
The category "watermarked isnt translated aswell:
(If you need a translation: "Wasserzeichen" "Nutze diese Kategorie wenn ein Wasserzeichen erkennbar ist")
(DE) Weit über ein halbes Jahr ist inzwischen vergangen, doch das Problem besteht noch immer. Woran liegt es...?
(EN) Well over half a year has now passed, but the problem still persists. Why...?
@NianticVK @NianticCasey-ING @NianticGiffard Many German-speaking wayfarers would be happy to receive news on this topic. 😉
Ping...
This really needs to get adressed now! It is not even the fact that this rejection reason exists twice, it is the fact that it delivers pointless rejection reasons in the email, apparently an information board, a post office, a historic building, etc... all locations of "Explicit activity", apparently! Only thanks to this translation issue, which I explained more in detail and how to fix it here: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/21436/faulty-german-translation#latest
Please, give us an update. It is VERY frustrating and really makes me consider to stop submitting until this is fixed.
@NianticGiffard
Thanks for reporting this. As communicated by Casey above, this appears to be a localization issue and such similar instances are being addressed by our team.
Can we please have an update on this @NianticGiffard @NianticTintino? I can't stress this enough how much this affects the german Wayfarer community. I'm fairly sure some Wayfinders quitted, because they keep getting these absurd rejection reasons over and over. Not a day goes by at least one reviewer angrily asks in the German Wayfarer Telegram group why their nomination was rejected, stating it would be sensitive or inappropiate. We see one of these rejection reasons (or both) in nearly every rejection mail. It's not a joke anymore. People are very ... furious at this point.
In fact, I just received a rejection mail for a bike-trail marker. I honestly don't care at all that "Nomination does not meet acceptance criteria" is listed.
BUT
The real-world location of the nomination appears to be sensitive (e.g. non-historic or culturally significant gravestones or cemeteries), The real-world location of the nomination appears to have explicit or inappropriate activity.
This is not acceptable. Either people seriously don't know the meaning / difference between these two rejection reasons or people are trolling. Maybe bots are reviewing, I don't know. Something has to be done.
Below are some recection mails I received in the past. Two bike-trail markers and a sports club house. These are just examples, there are a lot more.
