Same Problem as a lot of players in south Germany/Switzerland. Got nearly every submission rejected with stupid reasons.
For example :
It's frustrating, that nearly everything got rejected. That's why i'm not submit anything in the next weeks, until the problem/bug is fixed or the bots are banned.
@LukeAllStars-ING contributions are reviewed by a different crowd.
He lives and submits in Northern Germany.
The Problems are in the S2-Lvl6 cells below. The culprits are reviewing from somewhere there.
Did i mention S2-Cells? They are not existant. Scroll down.
@NianticGiffard die einreichungen sind alle total okay und gut. das hier mal das foto vielleicht von vorne hätte gemacht werden können, ist gar kein grund das abzulehnen.
Have the same problem:
These 4 were rejected Today, all with "not found"
Also can say it's better with upgraded nominations
7 times without Upgrade were rejected.
Same problem, dozens of rejections in the last week. Also in South Germany (North of Bavaria)
I have now the same problem with rejects.
This reject is from 27.11.
Reason: "Es konnte nicht bestätigt werden, dass das vorgeschlagene Objekt am eingereichten Standort tatsächlich vorhanden ist.. "
Sadly Google Maps is outdated in that area, but the Pfister building and the giant Wohnland chair in the back show, that the location is correct. Unfortunate decision for something you've submitted over a year ago.
Let's hope Niantic will come forth with more information about all of this soon!
I got nearly 50 (!) rejections in the last 7 days, it does not stop, please do some Niantic. All that work of searching and submiting wayspots ... for nothing.
After at least starting to evaluate again, I noticed that there are currently a lot of suggestions coming from Munich or the immediate vicinity. 95% of these suggestions are invalid or duplicates. Maybe it will help you find the problem.
basicly worthless to even do reviews and earn an upgrade.
It was not the first post from me. The first one was not approved here :-(
I had in the same time other denies.
This one with: Der reale Standort des Vorschlags kann die Zufahrtswege von Rettungsdiensten behindern, oder es konnte nicht bestätigt werden, dass der Standort für Fußgänger sicher zugänglich ist..
Date of Deny: 3.12.21
Dr. Jakob Ess Gedenkstein: Reason: Der reale Standort des Vorschlags kann die Zufahrtswege von Rettungsdiensten behindern, oder es konnte nicht bestätigt werden, dass der Standort für Fußgänger sicher zugänglich ist..
Sprachrohr: Der Titel oder die Beschreibung des Vorschlags ist ungenau oder anstößig..
Both rejected at 4.12.21
I seem to have the same problem. Good wayspots are getting rejected on stupid and not true comments. My last 5 wayspots have been declined for no reason at all. And I am trying to do my best to get an upgrade faster, but always end up with rejection. Plz Niantic fix this.
The only stuff that is coming tru here are Trailmarkers. But sadly here we don't seem to have those.
So the topic still seems to be topical. Which region are you from @MalxxCharm-ING ? Southern Germany or Switzerland? Or somewhere else entirely? My area is north of Munich and it's working normally again for me. This is the other thread and Niantic has at least contacted it before, but nothing has happened yet.
Wayfarer effectively dead due to mass & random invalid rejection reasons — Wayfarer (nianticlabs.com)
I am from Belgium, Flanders
Still trying my best, and use my upgrades for trail markers instead though. But now sometimes I reach an upgrade, upgraded a wayspot but don't get any mail (wether) it's accepted or rejected. Is that some sort of bugg as well? (Never took so long with an upgrade)
Too bad the other thread was closed due to some comments. Nevertheless, I would like to have a contact point and be able to continue to post abnormalities. I do believe you that you are on the topic, but for me it has the aftertaste that this topic is being swept under the carpet @NianticGiffard
To everyone: please let us continue to report the things that are not really correct. Thanks to all.
In the future, please avoid mentioning specifically what I'm sure some of us are thinking. Please remain as objective as possible despite all emotions, so that this topic is not also closed.
In the last few days I have received a lot of feedback on my nominations in a previously "dead cell", most are unfortunately rejections. For some certainly justified, but for others absolutely incomprehensible. Here my saddest example, an absolute eye-catcher, open to the public, not a residential building, unique for this city, definitely worth seeing.In my opinion a cultural enrichment for the city.
After the first rejection I submitted it again: rejection again after 3 days.
And this is just one example of many, but one I am particularly sad about. As soon as the appeals are open again, I will try it this way.
But one other thing I noticed about the rejections: At least 2 nominations had been successfully brought online by other players in the meantime, so the rejection reason should have been "duplicate". This was not the case for any of them, instead the playground was rejected because of "Title or description is inaccurate or offensive" and an info board for a "memorial tree" because of "Nomination is not visually unique".
This does not suggest qualitative evaluation process.
The other thread wasn't closed due to "some comments", but because Niantic can't and doesn't want to get anything done. They had all the data, so what they chose to do is to wait for more examples to claim there were too many. Then, when people got (understandably) angry, they cited this to shut it down, as if this was the main problem there. That's just cynical and disrespectful towards all decent contributors.
This thread still has the purpose to document that this is still a major issue, except that the people who can provide examples are already leaving Wayfarer in masses. So maybe if everyone quit, no one cares and there are no submissions left for trolls/bots to review in the first place, Niantic can finally mark this as "fixed"?
the main problem for us is that Niantic just says "well, we will bring back appeals but only once a month".
It is like spitting and kicking in our face.
It really seems like they just don't care. In the other thread, there was even a period of 2.5 months (!) passing without any Niantic reaction or post. Instead of digging for information, or asking for details, or more examples, all they say is " we'll look into this".
In another thread, someone posted that they had just withdrawn all their nominations and won't participate in Wayfarer anymore. Someone from Niantic said "too bad, hope we'll see you again". Lol.
That is the problem with many market leaders. They fail to understand that being market leader today does not mean you'll be market leader tomorrow as well. They earned this position without much competition, but now they need to learn how to keep it. Innovation, marketing, events, diversification are nice, but without customer care, dialogue, even just a friendly ear, it won't be sustainable and for the long term.
Niantic don't want to help players who put effort into creating more interesting POIs. I try to do pauses for months before nominating again yet still lots of even country recognised culturally important objects won't get accepted to be waypoints. For example i nominated an 18th century cowshed and people rejected it for "private residence, other rejection criteria"... If culturally important objets aren't good enough i don't know what is

Just another one:
