Submissions from my city seems to getting in a limbo
Hi, folks.
I was talking with people with my community if it was happening only with me or with them too: besides I selected my city (Campinas - São Paulo State - Brazil) as my primary location, I get very few submissions from here to review. That would not be a problem if I didn’t know that plenty of people have lots of submissions in line waiting to be voted or even been for several months in voting.
As I started to ask my local group, 3 other people reported that players have been talking about the same impression in other local groups. I understand that the review process is not as fast as we would like, but it seems that something odd is happening in our city since in other close cities the process seem to be faster. We are near from São Paulo (90km) and even in a city with a high density of POI like that, I get many more reviews from there than from here.
Is there any known issue or something that could been happening in this regard?
Thanks for the attention.

This is normal. If you donot upgrade your submissions, you have to wait very long. In my city, its between 12 to 18 months. Very sad, but normal in big cities/areas close to big cities.
Wie kann man denn seine Vorschläge aktualisieren?....was genau muss man machen damit die Vorschläge nicht in einer endlos schleife hängen bleiben?

Vorschläge von anderen via https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/login# bewerten und bei 100 Übereinstimmungen bekommt man ein Upgrade. In Deutschland geht das dann ich unter 24 std durch oder wird halt abgelehnt. Aber grade in Großstädten gibts keine andere Möglichkeit.
But this kind of experience reviewing the submissions is the same for your city? I mean, to only encounter submissions from other places, many of them far far away from your location? It is weird because it happened out of nowhere. Until 2 months ago, the submissions were really fast and always when I was reviewing, I used to see many from my city and surroundings and less from São Paulo, for example, a city heavy populated from POIs.
Times are changing. A lot of new submitters came with the lvl 38 update and dump the system. Close to my home location, I had like a 2 weeks to a month priority whichcis now completely down aswell. My submission is in quere for like 4 months. The priority is normally not permanent...
Routing procedures are well kept secrets. I "feel" two effects.
I receive many many ineligible submissions, but not from my hometown. Mostly private residences. If I receive a nomination from my hometown, it usually is not a private residence. Maybe Niantic routes existing wayspots for re-assessment into the queue.
Nominations seem to enter the queue depending on their perspective appearance in games. If a cell is free and there is no other nomination within, it will go into voting. If there is a nomination in vote in this cell, it will wait.
However, I recently witnessed the complete opposite. I nominated a spot and someone else was there. Just few days later I received his nomination to review. I thougt about it for some days and decided to take my nomination back because he was first. But then I was given the upgrade and my nomination was actually acceped. So maybe an upgrade can overwrite the waiting rule.
But then, we do not know how routing is processed...
