The sign has nothing to do with Watching the Ducks.... perhaps if you feel the title is offensive, you could retitle it "Feeding Wildlife", "Feeding the Wildlife", "Do Not Feed the Wildlife" or "Do Not Feed the Ducks" (the latter 2 being better)... but the sign itself is not a duck observation one, that's why it didn't get approved.
lolz we are in the title edit appeal section .... not the photo appeal section...
Could you not agree that having a poi title encouraging people to do go against regulation is not a good idea?
I agree that "Feed The Ducks 1" is a bad title, but I don't think "Watch the ducks" is a better title, as it isn't what the sign states. Some version of "Please Do Not Feed the Wildlife" would make a lot more sense.
But the sign is not the poi.... The poi is the covered viewing platform over the lake. I'm using the sign as proof needed for the change of the title. It's a council park and council says don't feed ducks. I think it's a pretty straight forward argument.
But thanks for explaining that I wasn't clear.
Ah, understood now. I looked up the park and didn't find a wayspot in Ingress Intel that's currently named "Feed The Ducks 1," but I found these two wayspots:
"Watch The Ducks 1"
-27.582895,153.052375
"Feed The Ducks East 2"
-27.583223,153.052353
Hopefully having the coordinates available will help clarify your appeal as well!
@flatmatt-PGO looks like it was changed afterall ... likely this appeal was processed. As the title was "Feed The Ducks 1"
Was expecting to have to appeal this title change and took the photo on the day of the edit... Feed the ducks vs Watch the ducks.... well someone sitting at home reviewing not at the park seeing all the signage - at least 5 signs is not going to see the need for the title change.
I have officially disengaged with wayfarer but I got really cranky with yet another "Unfornately"* that i was not expecting so I was it a snoot that just quickly did up my appeal from the resources I had available on my phone and dispensed with it with minimal time needed on my part. When Feed the Ducks East 2 comes back negative I am unlikey to appeal. It's too much.
Chose the title "Watch The Ducks 1" as it honoured the original title and aligned with expectations of park behaviour. "Les Atkinson Park Pond East Viewing Platform" is a bit boring.
*this unfortunately was a welcome sign outside on the north side of a country town that was designated "no ped access and other rejection criteria" and the decision was upheld by Niantic on appeal ....grumble ....
yet this one to the south has been in the games for years....
And this one I took on the same day was accepted ....
Wayfarer is so inconsistent! My dad was supporting me by driving me around getting these portals submitted. Waste of time for a lot of people is this wayfarer business.
At least the folk here got a pogo gym at the park when my portal for Mt Alford BMX came through.
Argh why am I wasting my time with this again wayfarer nonsense.... I am not here!!!!
Sigh....
I agree with comment above watching wildlife is a better titled.
Thanks for the appeal, @ZinkyZonk-ING! Based on the evidence provided, we’ve made necessary changes to the title of the Portal.
This was Feed The Ducks East 2
Lolz how standardised a title.
Perhaps someone reads this thread and is local or perhaps a Nia change. If local person, hi local person!
