Regarding a certain supplementary explanation
Hello, @NianticGiffard
I came across the following during my review and wondered about it.
The question here is not whether the submitted object is proper or not, or whether it is a fake nomination or not.
(On a side note, I used to play trading card games, so the cafe itself is intriguing to me.)
I was wondering about the following supplementary explanation.
The URL for this community discussion is listed.
In a previous case in Japan, citing the AMA in a supplementary explanation was considered as an act of influencing the reviewer and the applicant was punished.
Based on that precedent, will citing the community also be punishable? Or is this not a problem?
I think getting more case studies will help us clarify the good and bad decisions and improve the quality.
Thank you very much for your time.

How come citing an AMA in the supplementary description (not the main description) is considered abuse?
You guys went thinking too far, I guess.
I have judged the same cafe before.
This is also attached.Here's another place, a case where it says in the supplementary notes that the Wayfarer help was quoted.
In the supplementary information here, the Wayfarer help states that there is evidence for this.It also says that the NIA has officially approved it. I wonder if quoting the help is also punishable.As a side note, the addendum states that the NIA has approved "shopping plazas" as appropriate.
No, this is not abuse.
Nominating anything in Japan is gonna be a risk sport very soon.
Do you wanna get a ban? Nominate something that you think is valid and try to explain the reviewers the nomination.
@NianticGiffard can you please clarify that citing the AMA is not against the rules or something that deserves punishment? In the other thread you used the canned answer and people actually are interpreting it as a confirmation.
Yes, supplementary information is a space for players to provide additional information for reviewers. Just providing links or official Niantic AMAs is not abuse.
Thank you Giffard, now could you please answer this?:
Is it abuse to report as abuse things that are not abuse?
