We have several rules and regulations signs poi scattered throughout our city, however I am having trouble getting a certain one accepted. Has the criteria changed?

Simple answer: no.
More complicated answer: Large signs at the entrance of a park that prominently display the park's name are eligible if they are used as a man-made physical representation of the park as a whole, even if the sign incorporates the park's rules.

@Wookiee454-PGO no, they wouldn't need to be removed. Many things that were eligible previously simply get grandfathered in (allowed to stay).
I wouldn't be that certain they're ineligible without seeing a picture. A park name sign that also lists rules should be perfectly eligible. It would be more difficult to pass without a name included. I assume the one you want is probably not significant enough.
As an example - I reject most 'don't feed the birds' signs, because I think they're too generic. Yet many have been accepted in the past for whatever reason.

Is the sign you're struggling with the only sign for the park? If so, make that statement clear in the nomination and mention the value the park holds beyond simply "this is a sign for a park."
If it's not the only sign, it would need to be a significant distance away from the main sign and not appear generic/mass produced. And as always it will depend on the nomination and reviewers.

Thank you. Does this mean we have several ineligible poi in our community? The ones I’m speaking of are rules and regulations signs and listed as such. The parks in question already have poi with the park name. Should I work to have them removed?

It’s just funny how the votes go. The park name is included in the sign. I submitted same sign at a different park at the same time and that one was accepted. This one keeps getting rejected. I guess maybe I’ll resubmit yet again and see what happens.
