How Do We Report Reviewers?

Reviewers sometimes gang up on an area to reject everything, and by giving false reviews for legit nominations.
Niantic needs to put in a process to report such reviewers.
Eg. Something which is clearly in a public park gets flagged as private residential property.

Depending on what it is (playground or art), if it is within 40 m of private single-family residential property, they are suppose to reject it.
You can't. Just try again and increase quality.
I've seen many players complaining about their rejected submission in my local pogo group when it was released for them, but everytime I saw a review f my city, it was terrible maded... wrong location, finger on screen, watermark, invalid things, etc. Some I had to go at the and made a good one myself, or after approved edit, name and locations. That's just beginners mistake, but most of the just gave up or started to cry out loud about how evil the reviewers are (at the time only ingress's players could) and many now hate Ingress. I got lot of denied to, but if I now it's a valid thing, I just try it again with better clarification about it.
You could also post the pictures, title and description here if you want extra guidance.
@TheFarix-PGO si suppone ma non sempre e cosi sigh
The guidance is to review carefully around PRP, not outright reject. But that isn't the issue here.
Something in a public park, with 360 and a proper supporting photo getting marked as PRP is definitely an issue.
If a rejection is over quality or people didn't think it met criteria, I can understand. However when a rejection comes with reasons that couldn't possibly happen (because supporting, maps & 360 all made sure it was easily verifiable), it's a problem of reviewers not reviewing right. Niantic needs to put in a mechanism to deal with this.
I agree with you. I have had real gems like calling a building an animal, an exhibit a restaurant, saying it doesn't exist when it is clearly visible in satellite view, calling a public university a generic restaurant, private property and non-existent all at the same time (wow!) etc. It has become so frustrating that I have stopped putting in time reviewing due to the work of resubmitting. I may quit that, too.
Totally. The mismatched location option can easily verified. I got plenty of nominations with perfectly placed points on the map and still rejected for that reason.
Exactly, there is no proper mechanism in place to deal with reviewers who constantly abuse the guidelines.
Agrees with this. Have seen a nomination fullfilling wayfearer criteria are getting rejected and was give abused rejection reasons. Which doesn't makes any sense.
I’m glad it isn’t just me, seems like we have a new reviewer here that is rejecting things like park benches as natural features.
The majority of benches are ineligible due to not meeting any of the criteria.
While I agree with the eligibility not being met most of the time, to mark it as a natural feature is an obvious sign of abuse.
People are falsely accusing me of "targeting and abusing" others with the nominations I have made.
Really getting tired of this, would be good if there was a 'dispute' button or something to counter claim these false reviewers abusing the system.
Definitely see this behavior too. There are a couple players in my area who have been griefing new players for years now. Those people are now reviewers and reject anything they didn't submit themselves. Some of the waypoints they have gotten implemented are garbage or outright fiction, too.
Currently Niantic only has a compulsory comment for Does Not Meet Criteria 1* reviews. They should make a minimum 30 character comment compulsory on all 1* rejections.
The "compulsory comment" is simply to state what the nomination is. That rarely takes more than 30 characters.
Queria saber pq todas as vezes que solicitar uma alteração onde sempre ela é rejeitada, morar em um condomínio que tem vários lugares legíveis como por exemplo quadra poliesportiva e playground?
já vi vários condomínios, como até com ginásios, acho injusto por quem tem lugares que realmente não está nos requisitos de legibilidade e aprovamos como residências particulares e vários outros sem contar que onde moro tem poucas cutucadas e como estão bem.
Acredito que essas pessoas que se recusam a recusar qualquer tipo de item que sejam legíveis devem ser punidas.
i have heard folks bragging about intentionally sabotaging nominations.
Point being it would still force a lot of people to actually review properly and would help catch bad reviewers. I intentionally stated 30 character because that seems about 4-5 words which would make the smallest possible coherent sentence.
This would also put a stop to all the auto reviewers or make them more tedious at the very least.
