Many Trees Submission

Hi Everyone,

For several weeks, I have seen many submissions concerning the identification plates of tree species.

Personally, if on one or two majestic trees this is fully acceptable, I would like your opinion on this case:

Most of the existing pokestop on the left are some trees.

What do you think of these submissions?

Based on how their set up, either

1. That city is really proud of their trees

Or

2. Might be a bit of abuse going on

I posted a question about these a couple weeks ago and got some good responses.

Thanks everyone for your answers, I continue to thinking it is quiet abuse.

I only think this is abuse if the plaques aren't actually real. If they're real (and they might be, such educational/arboretum-style plaques are not uncommon is some places), nominating them is not abuse.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that they're definitely eligible - you could argue that they're not distinct enough or just plain don't meet criteria. But if the yexist, nominating them is definitely not abuse.

Bit of an odd use of the plaques IMO. I will note that we have similar educational placards in walking trails all around us and I've nominated a fair amount of them and they go through nearly 10/10.

I have a few thoughts regarding the abuse angle.

1. Hard to tell from the photo but if they were put up temporarily just so someone could get a nomination through and then were removed, I'd side on the abuse angle.
2. If they were put up by the city and someone is nominating them, 100% legit and up to the reviewers to decide if they are warranted for inclusion
3. If they put up by a player so they could nominate them and are now permanent, and they are on public or semi public access (appears it is), still fine with it.
