Let's talk about respect. People from all over the world have spent hours reviewing nominations mostly located in countries they will never visit. They are doing this while their own areas sit in waiting, getting very few reviews done. Many of these people play in areas where it takes 1 - 2 years to get POI approved (or rejected). These people were able to clear out a huge backlog in Spain (and other countries) while also achieving goals that would give rewards to everyone who participates.
How much respect has the Spanish reviewing community shown for all that work done on their behalf? I would expect to see all the reviewers in the top 10 be Spanish. After all, every single review a person in Spain did counted towards the challenge. Yet, the top reviewers only show 1 Spanish person (I think). I think there are a lot of Spanish reviewers who do appreciate the help they've received. But reading posts like the one you wrote make it seem like all the selfless work the rest of the world has done is unappreciated.
I think there are programming issues that have kept some of the most dense areas from resolving. That is super frustrating. But don't take out those frustrations on the other players who have worked so hard to do the work that your own locals aren't willing to do.
And yet, we barely see Spanish submissions, there are still many that needs to be dealt with and you still add countries that weren't even among the three last ones (Italy and Taiwan been g the other two).
It is incredible how often people in Niantic manage to damage things that were working fine :/
Thank @Kaziebes-PGO and @Jostrin-PGO for all the reviewing you've done. You are demonstrating your appreciation for this challenge and all the people participating from around the world!
So this Global Review Challenge shows that actual system doesn't work correctly in a lot of countries and isn't just "too many submitters, too little reviewers". But I hope that between fixing (at least a little) plus a lot of backlog cleared we can have "decent times" to get reviewed a nomination without upgrading constantly.
Hopefully, it has brought to light some of the issues. They have been actively trying to fix or adjust things during this review because the ambassadors raised issues immediately to them, maybe by keeping in touch with the ambassadors, tagging them in comments, etc. We can continue to get the problem areas into a fix zone.
Estimados, tengo un problema para poder verificar duplicados las imágenes cargar en blanco, no me había pasado antes, alguien sabe si es un problema puntual??
Dear, I have a problem to verify duplicates, the images load blank, it has not happened to me before, does anyone know if it is a specific problem?
NIA added around 500K stops in INDIA from some database I think in late 2021 or 2022 most of the NIA added don't have any pics. If someone would have uploaded pic to portal or pokestop, it'll show up. I saw a few portals like that when I was travelling.
First of all, people in those countries should not be able to submit that amount to fake and coal. Either they should cap those at 10 a month or educate the ones that are weak.
Second, these countries need more people to review there (eg take the coal out). If this can't be done with local incentive they need to be worked off collectively.
So a bit lost because I have been busy last couple days and sorry I am asking because I am sure someone posted somewhere I have not been able to find yet, but is the event still going on and if so until when? What country is currently giving the bonus? Are all countries currently giving us credit towards our next tier goal? When do I need to switch my bonus location back by? Thanks!

It was not workint fine, there was not enough nominations left in spain for the system to work correctly
I'm from Spain too and I am in the top, don't know if I were the one you mentioned 😅
I am from Spain and I am in the top too, so we are two already, at least :)

Yeah, the ambassadors are doing wonders this Global Review Challenge!

Keep up the good work.
It is also happening for me. First I thought as internet speed issue. But then I switched to a high speed broadband. Still getting this issue.

Either that or the pics are not loading properly.
Could be to do with this.
Usually it loads a placeholder though, so I assume this is not intended.
How many nominations that you've reviewed during this challenge were from the current country vs the ones from your play location?
First of all, people in those countries should not be able to submit that amount to fake and coal. Either they should cap those at 10 a month or educate the ones that are weak.
Second, these countries need more people to review there (eg take the coal out). If this can't be done with local incentive they need to be worked off collectively.

Through 5am PDT on June 7. All 3 countries are in voting. All 3 count toward personal goals. All group goals have been met.
It was in the first post in this thread
So we have less than 24 hours left.
Appreciate it!
