Nomination woes
A nomination I uploaded “later” (which i like to do so i can edit at my leisure), disappeared into thin air. This has happened twice before. I got the “Upload successful” message, but it’s gone like the wind. No response from Niantic on my request for help.
Another nomination i uploaded later, from home, ended up going immediately into voting. There wasn’t even a second of time to put a hold on it. I wasn’t able to edit. Even though i stayed on the “contributions” page like a hawk, it never showed as in queue. The problem is that i didn’t fill out description and secondary info (artist name, justification for the site as a wayspot) when I was at the site since i needed to do some research to get my facts right.
I am courting bad luck with these, it seems. No response on either of these though it’s been over the two hours stated as the timeline for getting back to me.
Am I just having amazingly bad luck, or have any of you experienced either of these problems? Thanks for any feedback. Of course, I’m not holding my breath waiting to get a response from Niantic 😎

Other people have been having issues with nominations being taken by Niantic voting very quickly after submission. It also seems that putting a nomination on hold doesn't stop Niantic from taking it into their voting. 😥 See this thread for more anecdotes: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/34856/niantec-voting-but-no-supplemental-info-added
I unfortunately haven't heard of the other issue. Have you checked the "Report a Bug" forum? If no one has posted about it, you might want to start a report there. It sometimes takes the Wayfarer chat staff more than a couple hours to respond. Also, it's the weekend in the US now, and I'm not sure if they respond on weekends.
Thanks, Melurra! Great information. I’ll check into the bug report. 😎
