People Refusing valid nominations and approving it in wrong places.
It`s pointless to send valid nominations. I`m struggling to get my nominations approved, I just find out that a city next to mine is stealing our interest points. They rejected my submissions, and i just find out why, I saw a pokestop there using my submission pictures. So... I spended my time trying to promote my submissions for nothing. There’s no way to appeal rejections or even reach someone to talk about it. It`s hard to keep going, since we are simply doing Niantic job for them, and we don’t even receive anything for it. How many people out there could be facing the same problem as me, and there’s no way to solve it. I know not every submission is valid, and not all submission will make through at the end, but still. People are rejecting valid nominations and is very sad, since this was a big opportunity for small cities in Brazil to rise pokestops numbers and improve the game experience.

Can you post one of you nominations and one (or some) of the stolen one(s)?
I’m having an alike experience. Nobody is stealing my nominations, but many of my valid nominations are being refused. And I mean obviously valid nominations, such as graffitis (unique arts) and informative plaques of public buildings.
Dears, good morning. I am very frustrated. I spend time doing evaluations and my account ends up being frozen. in addition, all the suggestions I submit take months to be evaluated and end up being denied. It's brooch.
The same with me. I send high quality proposals: Churches and great graffiti and are rejected for meaningless reasons.
Typically when someone complains about reviewers rejecting "valid nominations" and we see the nominations, we find that the nominations were extremely weak or not acceptable to begin with. Typically, this happens when nominators use exisitng Wayspots as examples of what is eligible, they overstretch the spirit of the social or exercise eligibility criteria, or overlook one more more of the rejection criteria. For example, a church may host a daycare center or private school. So unless you post examples, I have little reason to believe that the nominations were good.
Churches being daycares are extremely uncommon in Brazil, however
I can say that I probably won't waste any more time evaluating other people's suggestions. I believe that the easiest way ends up being to suggest the same desired point several times and wait.
I know common sense should be imperative, but with the experiences I've been having lately it's demotivating.
Sending the same spot several times worked for me. But come on, that’s not the way it supposed to be, right?
When we complain about having a valid nomination rejected, people always assume that we don’t know what a valid nomination is.
There’s no point showing every single rejected submission in this thread, unless an administrator asks for it in private.
With this complain i hope they do something to prevent people from rejecting valid spots. ( maybe teaching the community how to identify valid nominations ). Here in Brazil the maps are not always up to date, making it harder to work with.
Where were your pictures used? You need to report it if they are fake.

Because time after time when someone complains about having a "valid nomination" rejected, it is because they don't know what a valid nomination is.

You got to show that you are nominating valid spots in the first place. You claim that your nominations are valid, but history has shown that most people who complain don't know what a valid nomination is.
