Hi guys,
I had (my life actually) made a pokestop nomination in a village, where we have a weekend cottage - very low number od pokestops. She nominated quite nice Wooden bus stop. It got rejected, that Is possible to understand in a way, but thé reasons were absolute nonsesense - "Photo of the nomination appears to be of a live animal instead of a valid object, The real-world location of the nomination appears to have explicit or inappropriate activity, Photo is low quality (e.g., pitch black/blurry photos or photos taken from a car)"
Is this normal? How diesel one submit a nomination without thé worries, that it Will be rejected on this silly basis?

Rejection reasons are often strange. But if I would rate this, I would probably give it a 1* doesn't meet criteria. This looks like a generic, non special bus station.
Generic bus stop - not an acceptable submission. Ignore the reasons on the e-mail.
Unlike other comments, I might 3* it depending on the title and description.
That said, yep, I have had that madness coupled with blocks emergency services. Like whut now?
I just submitted this and put links to the walkway and the importance of it to locals and even a 360 as the sign is a bit scuffed and previously it had been rejected for the classic looks like taken from a car nonsense. This time I got the doesn’t meet criteria , which is beyond silly as it gives no reasons why it was refused. This is madness,
I have tried to bring up these ridiculous rejection reasons before and been shouted down in the chat. I had a cross rejected as not culturally significant, of all things.
I try to look beyond the ridiculous messages to see what reviewers might have chosen to trigger that specific copy and paste email. You acknowledged that it was just the fact that it is a bus stop that got the rejection. My best guesses are that people didn't see anything in the photo that was eligible and chose "low quality photo" to get the photo rejection response, "Live Animal" is just below "Other Rejection Criteria" so probably a misclick, and "Location Inappropriate" if they were trying to say a bus stop isn't a good place to have a wayspot gives the explicit message. Very frustrating.
BTW I am going to make my husband start calling me his "life" - what an awesome typo =)
Depending on what the cross looked like it could be rejected as mass produced
No 1 - temporary / home made sign - it looks to be in a plastic folder and stapled to a post. Reading it, it's essentially a "complaint". Does not meet any criteria - 1*.
No 2 - not a named trail, just a generic, mass produced signpost. "1* Does not meet criteria - The object is mass-produced, generic, or not visually unique or interesting"
