missing rejection reasons

Yes, I checked my contribution page.
And found:
The nomination had been reviewed by Niantic.
So why don't niantic tell why my nomination had been rejected?
Yes, I can appeal that nomination and niantic review the same nomination a second time and I wait another 2 years.
Is that the solution?

The bug should be known since (at least) July 2022.
And nothing happened.

Same here. No reasons. Will end in appeal and probably resub in 2 years when the decision is here....

As @BitKloepplerin-ING and @kamikatze07-ING wrote, this is a big problem. Especially when the submission is not being processed for a long time. in my case i would resubmit, as most of my submissions are from fast processed regions. But i only send submissions to appeal, if it is from a very slow (and possibly far away from me) processed region.
Please do something for those that take big effort and time into their submissions. Its their sparetime, they want to contribute to this wonderful community. And my opinion is, they deserve to know why the submission was rejected to be able to give proof, why this is not true.
I'm pretty sure this has been an issue since 2021, when the first Niantic-reviewed submissions were trashed for no reason. I found it downright disrespectful and it's even worse that errors like this aren't even close to being eliminated.
If you choose such a system with many downright bureaucratic elements, it has to be predictable at least. Instead, it's so notoriously arbitrary erratic that it hurts. It's not surprising that the number of contributors is in a sharp decline.
I reported that the generic text wasn't helpful a while ago and seemed not intended. Based on that feedback they seemingly have removed rejection reasons all together lol
I`ve just got the next rejection without reasons.
One feels mocked.
Niantic reviews a 24 months old submission and rejects it.
Refers to the contribution management ... where no reasons can be found.
Niantic offers to appeal the decision.
That means I wait another 12 months to find out why niantic rejected my submission.
This really needs to be addressed, especially since Niantic is pulling these old nominations. I waited two years to get an answer on these, and then got no feedback on why they were rejected? So just go resubmit and wait another two years?
I am stumped as to why some of these are being rejected. For example, a community clubhouse which is a social hub for the community and is clearly visible on maps. What do I need to improve?
@NianticOren or @NianticTintino-ING y'all seem to be the most communicative here. Is there anything being done to address the lack of reasons for Niantic rejections that aren't appeal rejections?
