Russia Challenge Reviews Update
Hi Community,
Thank you all for your continued feedback with our update. I want to reach out as some recent posts make mention of some bugs and missing features. First off, anyone who participated in the Russia Challenge who did not get all of the rewards they thought they would get, please know that we have reviewed all the reports and can confirm that these players didn’t have any nominations reviewed in Russia during the event. Note that if you are using any third party tools/plugins to track your progress, the data you see in those tools may not be accurate. For those of you participating in the upcoming Brazil and South Africa event we recommend participating via the official Wayfarer site. You may also want to participate early on during the event to ensure you have enough time for the nomination to reach a decision.

What a whacky way to announce that Brazil will be the featured upcoming challenge.
AND South-Africa
Der, I read that as "Brazil and South America." Much more excited to see South Africa featured.
Lol, that's real "USA and North America" vibes.
So when we getting the full details of the 2 new Wayfarer Challenges?
It says event (singular), not events (plural). Could be a typo of course, but could also mean having two locations for one event.
I'd recommend that nobody participate in future challenges until Niantic operates in good faith. This is going to happen again.
How about you give us our upgrades and we move on?
I thought one of the people who didn’t get their rewards got their data through the GDPR, if I’m not mistaken. The only other reason that people didn’t get their rewards, IMO, is because what they reviewed are all removed due to abuse, etc.
Wow, outrageous!
So much liars & sick people, who have amnesia, here in the community, including me. How you all can keep on complaining, when Niantic "have checked everything, every Account, blabla".../sarcasm off
STILL waiting for my upgrades/rewards. I HAVE FULLFILED ALL OF YOUR RESTRICTIONS + i NEVER used 3rd Party Software like "Wayfarer+"
GIVE ME MY UPGRADES,finaly...
@NianticTintino Will there be a way during the next challenge to check if we are eligible for rewards? I reviewed last time during the time frame and saw the banner at top and all and would hate to have that happen again.
報酬がまだなんですが?
I still never received the rewards from the Russia challenge despite setting my hometown to rural Russia and reviewing several dozen nominations. Crazy how they're gonna keep lying in the post announcing a new challenge. Well maybe not crazy but typical Niantic.
so youre saying they have to reach an agreement not just be reviewed?
communication as clear as mud as always
and lol no wayfarer+ literally cannot be inaccurate for logging what reviews you've done...its simple coding (though I appreciate niantic may struggle with that)
You are wrong, I did review russian nominations and posted proof multiple times but haven't gotten one response yet.
And no, the log from the 3rd party tool is not inaccurate, it is exactly as I remembered it. But I also just requested a dump of my stored data as per GDPR for further proof.
But as others who posted 100% proof, I am probably going to get ignored. Also very curious that your colleague Giffard seemingly very selectively responds to people, but only the few ones who seem legitimately ineligible. All this seems very shady and unprofessional to me, I hope you can shed some light into whats going on here @NianticTintino .
Example of people with legitimate claims getting ignored
1) this guy: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/comment/108257/#Comment_108257
2) see my other comments for the proof I submitted in other threads
As mentioned, I hope the GDPR data dump is not 3rd party program/etc.
Suggestions for the next event.
I think that you need a mark or mechanism that can confirm that you have met the participation qualifications that you can receive rewards during the event period.
You can press the “submit” button of the review even if you get the result during the review. Reviewers mistakenly think they participated in the review.
It is also a problem that there is no way to confirm whether the reviewed item has reached a decision.
Prepare a way to confirm your eligibility. Alternatively, set the eligibility for participation in what the reviewer can confirm from the existing mechanism.
I don't want to see a fun event spoiled.
why stop here? your reviews should be in a database that the reviewers can look back on and see how they stacked up with.
For example, Person A reviews nomination, it should go into a recently reviewed section in wayfarer and we can see how our review compares to others
And? Who cares, if they have been removed 🤷♂️
The reviewer HAVE DONE the review, exactly how it was announced from Niantic. (Homespot @Russia- during event time, "at least one (1)"...)
What happens with the nominations afterwards IS NOT important...
Niantic is acting lousy and childish, hopefully a lot of reviewers will not participate any further "challenges"
@NianticGiffard @NianticTintino still not willing to react? We won't stop to announce our missing rewards/upgrades...
please check my account . i haven't got my rewards in pogo & upgreades... @NianticGiffard @NianticTintino
Just like these folks, I did multiple Russian reviews and never received the rewards. I didn't realize I would be punished for selecting rural Russia and not Moscow or St. Petersburg. I have accepted that Niantic will NOT do the right thing and give what was promised. Just a continuation of y'all not listening to the player base. @NianticTintino @NianticGiffard
