Has anybody else been trolled on Wayfarer?

I do not know if there is a lot of trolls who live around me or what because many of my stop nominations are rejected under false reasons. For example I did the historic bridge in town and the title was "Virsbo Bridge" but it was rejected for being a natural feature. Also many are marked as private property when they are not. What am I doing wrong?

I would say this is a mixture of problems the wayfarer system has.
- People not updated on current criteria.
- Reviewers do not know the local history of every location. Reviewers should be given more local items to review first.
- New reviewers not understanding the current criteria.
Because of this more Nominations have to be resubbed and a lot of time for the nominator is wasted.
My advice is if you truly believe you nomination meets current criteria then keep trying with the nomination.
Good luck

If you are worried about local people intentionally denying your stops then try using upgrades so others would be voting on them. This would be beneficial for all.

Ensure you’ve checked the Ingress map. Though there may not be a PokéStop showing, but there may be a Waypoint that’s become a Portal in that same cell. This will be more important as the number of Niantic games grow.

Oh and also I had a few that are rejected as duplicates when there is no duplicate of the stop

Ill add in a 4th point
-older reviewers even with new criteria and guidelines set out by niantic refuse to accept and vote according to there own pre existent guidelines they make up
🤦🏻
Even well intended reviewers use incorrect/inappropriate rejection reasons. While it is incorrect, some people choose "natural feature" rejection reason for generic and/or uninteresting infrastructure.
