Help - 2 rejections in a row

Hello,

I got twice in a row, what seems to be fake reviews. I maybe wrong, this is why I m seeking your guidance.


Latest rejection


Previous rejection:


Here are the snapshots of the request:

There is one mistake in the text with a "not" missing in the explanation, but for me this is not an abuse.

Thank you,

    Its a generic direction sign and so doesn't meet any criteria.

    You have probably been marked as abuse by people thinking you are trolling them with the submission.

    I haven't confirmed the location is not PRP as there isn't any need to.

    It simply doesn't meet any criteria, as mentioned both times in your emails.

    I would suggest you give up on this

    I understand but it is not a random direction sign, it is the New standard of cycling trail signs to go in and out Brussels. Here is the proof:

    I acknowledge that it may lead to confusion, but our government is changing the norm because they wish to clarify when and where to turn?

    Let's imagine the next step, all the traditional hexagon signs being replaced by these new signs, should we remove them from the game as well?

    What do you think?

    Its a generic direction sign.

    The link you provided as support doesn't supply any information apart from stating that its a cycle route made by an unregistered Route You public account.

    It looks like a direction sign with a made up route to try and falsify a submisison.

    "It's not a random sign" vs "new standard of cycling trail signs"

    standard smells like random ;-)

    for people outside of belgium:

    Governements are trying to get more people to go to work by bike, so they try to create bicyle "highways"

    This sign is a sign that announces an intersection, straign ahead for an industrial zone or turn to the right to follow route F onto the direction of Leuven (and what a surprise, near that intersection you'll find a sign as well, in both directions)

    IMHO it's just a directional marker for cyclists as there are so many directional markers for all traffic pointing toward city A or B

    Just go to the intersection of with Woluwedal, use streetview and turn around.

    Looking into the direction of Jozef Van Dam straat you'll see the sign that tells you to turn left or right. On the house behind it you'll see 2 markers as well. Then turn around an look at the other side of the crossroad. Similar sign telling you to turn left or right.

    These are nothing less and nothing more than directional markers, official streetsigns

    Yeah this is just a directional sign. Not a cycle route as you want the people to believe.

    They are directions to the nearest bicycle highway. People don’t take these to explore. There is generally nothing to see there as they run next to big roads or railways for the purpose of going to work. The hexagonal signs have nothing to do with these.

    Ok thank you all.

    My understanding of trail was indeed not aligned with yours.

    For me it is: a route followed for a particular purpose.

    I agree this one has been built for commuting as I clearly mention it in the initial description. However, I disagree on your statement that usually people are not taking it to explore. During the weekend many families are using such roads, especially with children. These roads are new and therefore smooth, as you said most of the time shielded from cars (so safer).

    I would have understood your reason for rejection however its was "abuse,trolling" and "private land"

    Thanks

    We still don't know ourselves how the rejection-reasons arrive in the mails, only NIA knows.

    But as we understand it it's the top X of rejection reasons, so even if 1 reviewer voted "abuse" or "private property" and the others voted "other rejection criteria" then you'll get the "does not meet criteria" in the mail as well as the abuse or private property reason.

    Maybe they should limit to the top voted rejection reasons or at least put up a nominal minimum of votes on a rejection reason so that a single reviewer cannot influence the mail the submitter gets, but that is upto NIA to decide

  • Thank you Thor3381. It is clear.
