Question to Niantic as well as the experience of the community:
Did Niantic already start to review Appeals? Does someone already receive an E-Mail about one of his/her appealed nominations?
If not, when will Niantic start? There should already be a growing backlog.

No emails yet. When will they start? Soon™
I'd really like to see appeals being reviewed within in a reasonable time and not taking many weeks or even months. So piling up a huge backlog from the start is really something I don't wanna see.
It takes months for them to review invalid wayspot reports and such now. Appeals are just something else added to the pile. The glitch letting people submit a new appeal daily is going to make it take even longer as people will appeal all their coal submissions rather than being selective like they would if the intended 30 day appeal cooldown was in effect.
I still have an invalid wayspot appeal open for over a year so no expectations there..
I bumped mine up after waiting for 6 months to get a wayspot on private property removed as an appeal. It got taken care of after a friendly reminder.
It seems to me like there is just not enough hands to go through all the appeals and else that is done manually by Nia. The most difficult issues get tossed aside and the easiest ones get done to get the "productivity numbers" up. So by saying that, I'd say that those appeals might be one of the easiest tasks so we might actually expect some progress with those sooner than year from now.
Actually my report was on a windmill that has two wayspots so by no means that is a hard one. But yeah they are probably short on people for these things
Were you expecting Niantic to hire more people as a startup company? /s
Hi @BleedBoss-PGO
This guy is persistent...
I don't think they said when they want to start processing the appeals, only that this feature would be available at this day ^^
