There is a lot of abuse being reported and dealt with by the team, it could be taking up a lot of time. Maybe once it;s dealt with we'll have more AMAs?
The new criteria page is great however it needs continual adjustment whenever Niantic confirm something - like it does not mention scout huts should be rejected but this was confirm by Niantic on these forums so it should be updated on that page also. I want them to acknowledge this officially. Under the rejection criteria photos section it needs to explicitly state that photos of a photo displayed on a computer screen should be rejected (it doesn't but they are supposed to be).
There are a lot of questions that keep coming up again and again, trail markers being up one them. Another is what exactly does Niantic mean by plaza in "Parks and plazas" and does that include shopping centers and malls that use "plaza" in their names (as some have tried to assert). I've also seen a massive push claiming that all footbridges are eligible and must be accepted.
The examples of them changing the purpose of my and other's questions or changing focus mid sentence, and of course removing many old clarifications with the 3.1 "refresh" while still not making any "one true source" updates to verify that previously clarified definitions (k-12, prp) haven't changed, as well as just the general unintuitive nature to find AMAs makes them pretty useless in function and disheartening as somebody involved in them.
I'm ready to ask for clarification on pools for yet a 3rd time in an AMA and I've never even nominated one.

I think Niantic is scared of the thousand trailmarker questions which would ger asked :D

tbh the last ones were only lukewarm (no pun intended,)
Maybe if the one and only @LukeAllStars-PGO would be the one to select the questions, we could have an interesting AMA.
Not to mention all the questions related to cool downs...
I am still waiting for my working contract. Niantic message me. Or should I come to your office? (which is BTW in my city :D)
Sadly, there are too many similar questions so almost nobody read through all of the questions and important questions cant get filtered out.
