These all probably would have been easier for Niantic to review if they were compiled in a single thread. At least all the Wayspots at a particular amusement park. Edit: Like the other thread you did, that Niantic responded to: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/45373/invalid-wayspots-****-woodpeckers-kidzone
I group them by proximity based on the proof that is nessecary for a removal. This is the only appeal I currently have at Busch Gardens. But even if I had multiple, something on the entire other side of the park would require different proof. So I would make a separate thread.
Busch Gardens, Universal, Disney ... you have a pretty clear theme. The Netherlands thread has countless Wayspots being discussed and I guarantee those aren't in as tight of a proximity as you seem to have issue with.
Thanks for the appeal, @AisforAndis-ING. After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to retire the Wayspot in question.
Sure would've been convenient for @NianticRN, LC and Aaron if they could've just replied to your threads once, instead of actual 8 times. 8 threads about Wayspots in various FL parks. There's zero reason you can't compile your evidence more conveniently.
Again, Niantic PREFERS that appeals are kept separate. It can sometimes, but not always, be convenient to group them together when the evidence provided to remove a wayspot is the same for multiple wayspots, but that is not the case for most of my appeals.
Even more so, the one appeal of mine that you pointed out where I did group the nominations together is *still* waiting to be actioned upon by Niantic a month later, as compared to all of my more recent ones that were individual and took a week or less, so I'm not sure why you would think that that is more efficient or convienient for them or for me, because it generally isn't.
Perhaps @NianticAaron can set that straight for you so that you stop bothering people with these unnecessary and incorrect comments.
Take this part as a compliment - these were good removal requests.
That said, these requests take up a lot of forum list space that frankly are inconvenient for other discussions. It is not "unnecessary" or "incorrect" to call you out for this.
Are you for real? Aaron literally responded to the thread you linked, noted they should've looked at it sooner and are working in it. If you're going to claim that oopsie is justification for spamming the forum creating multiple threads, maybe they can set YOU straight.
