How can you confidently determine that said rejection reason doesn't fit without seeing the entire submission? (That post didn't include the location, so I can't see any way to pass judgement on the location based criteria.)
Also there are a lot of stolpersteine here so I was like: just spend upgrades on those
Just to have one be accepted and the one 2 houses down the street be declined for private info…
So you’re basically spending time for an upgrade just to have the “community” **** over your time.
I tried to get more pokestops to persue more players to start playing…
Oh well, with 3 stops spinnable from home I’m still a happy camper.. But not a happy reviewer.. I’ll just wait the 2 weeks, it’s not like you get an extra upgraded nomination a day, it’s still just one.
It's a bug if the rejection reason given is different to what people are actually rejecting it on. That means there are two issues, Niantic bug and bad reviewers.
It was so easy to see this one wasn't a duplicate as the supporting image had another POI in it for reference, so it's position was known and none of the others are near that.
Im wondering how many people and how many years of complaints on these forums it's going to take before Niantic fix these stupid Rejections or work out why they happen.
Im Hoping that going through appeals will teach them a lot and that will be used to get rid of bad or abuse voters but Niantics track record so far shows I shouldn't put money on it.
Doesn't even help seeing everyone else having problems as I feel their pain and annoyance too.
The only rejection-reason I would have thought of would be a "generic/normal business", when you can't proof that the business is really so popular and not a sushi restaurant like many others.
In my opinion, businesses are very hard to get accepted (because you have to prove that the business is culturally important), so I dont really spend my upgrades on businesses/restaurants.
The "not culturally significant" typically has been the rejection for these split duplicate & accept candidates. The rejection isn't clear, but it also isn't untrue.
Since the specific bug mentioned above is fixed, you may be more successful resubmitting this sign.
There are loads of these accepted, they should be accepted but sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t…
I’ll just do 100 reviews per time one gets accepted but I cannot be assed spending any more time on it because it’s such **** how the community works now.
@IXyzyxI-PGO Restaurants with "Shabu Shabu" in the name are global - that's the name of a dish. Your next one looks like memorial plaques - someone's ashes are behind each plaque. That's the same as a cemetery - insensitive to game play where mourners could be around.
No they are placed on the sidewalk.. And the location can be checked on a website/app.
Its literally ignorant that the 3 closest stops next to my house are (well were) a high school (and the title of the stop even is the name of the high school), a chalk drawing on the floor (literally a chalk drawing that rains away) and a (I must say beautiful 100+ year old) private villa…
Oh well, there’s a historic walking route here so I’m nominating all those stones. I would spend my time reviewing to upgrade 4 that are in a park and could become new pokestops… But I just cannot be bothered with the disappointment of upgrading it and it randomly be declined.. which is a shame to be fair…
Also they are stones in remembrance of those that got deported and killed during world war 2, they get placed in front of the houses they used to live in.
So yes they are sensitive but they are ment to have that effect hence the name that translates to “tripping stone”.
The only reason I can see for them being declined is because in a street of 30 houses there are 6 sets of those stones and they tend to get abused…
Yet they should be visible in the second picture.
And yes…
It is was that bad.. (the numbers are ones close to eachother and they are all 1 family)

I think, that's (sadly) right 😕

Sushi restaurant (very popular)
Marker is literally on top of the front door
Declined because of private and wrong location?

Even told them in the description they could see another POI in supporting photo. And who doesn't like to see a photobombing dog/bear? ;)

Yeah, I also like to put another additional wayspot in my supporting photo (if possible), so reviewers can clearly verify the location.
That's a cute photobomb! 🐻
There are 2 nearly identical signs that should have appeared on the Duplicates check for reviewers.

For the last few months, there was a bug were simply touching a duplicate touch and not hitting cancel would assign the duplicate (https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/24661/incorrect-dupes-immediate-attention-plz).

Guess this proves this exact point once again

The rejection criteria is strange too: "Private property" - why?
@IXyzyxI-PGO Is it on the wall of a private property?

Thanks for the info on that bug. I submitted it on the 13th and your post said you noticed it fixed is on the 14th.
Not sure it's the issue here but it's too far away for me to just pop there and re-submit
