repeatingly rejection of a Niantic-confirmed candidate type

Hi guys,

I noticed a general problem with approval of eligible candidates. I'm talking about the hiking and biking signposts. Some of them get approved, but the bigger amount of submissions in that category I'm doing are getting rejected for ridiculous reasons:

• temporary or seasonal installations (believe or not, but biking and hiking works the entire year)
• bad photo quality (took the photo during daytime with professional camera)
• no access for pedestrians (seriously?)
• other rejection reasons (my most favorite reason, very helpful....not)

On this example, you can see I used 3x exactly the same photos and almost a simiilar title. Description has been used always the same since no reason for changing from my side, according to the above given rejection reasons.

@Niantic:

See below the candidate details of my latest submission from 06-Sep-22, just as an example of all my other submitted signposts which got rejected without any logical reason. Of course, I could continue re-submitting the same candidates upon they got accepted some future day. But IMO that's extra work wouldn't be necessary if the reviewer would vote more carefully considering the eligible candidates/criteria.

Hopefully you can review and accept the candidate through this appeal since I recently appealed another canddiate through Wayfarer and I have plenty of those candidates not accepted by unintelligible reasons.

Photos to support your claim:

This is the photo I used for the photo disc of that candidate (resized for this post here)

I would agree that the photo in general may not be perfect since some parts of the sign are covered by branchs. But while my carreer I've seen way more worse photos that got accepted.

This photo was the additional photo (resized for this post here)

Hopefully, this case can help others to get their biking and hiking signposts accepted with higher chances. This problem is not only existing for me but for several "colleagues" in the mountain area that are submitting such signposts.

Perhaps there could be some quick and easy help from you Niantic guys to approve those candidates manually?

Thanks in advance for looking into this issue.
