These would be roughly what Niantic intended: 1* I can provably see that it is NOT there, nor nearby 3* it is plausibly there but possibly obscured from view 5* I can see it very clearly and the selected location is close to perfect There are few cases where a 2* vote is appropriate, but YMMV. Also note that, if you're…

That's precisely what I mean by incorrect rejections based on photo angle @NianticDanbocat @NianticTintino But if you're ever in the area again @X0bai-PGO please take the time to submit your original photo to Wayfarer as a second photo, and even vote for it once it gets accepted by reviewers.
-
In one case, of a trail marker, I ended up taking the original photo cropped to show ONLY the sign rotated so that sign was 90 degrees vertical in the photo and it was accepted immediately, despite having been rejected twice. Once accepted, I immediately submitted their twice-rejected landscape photo, the one that showed…

Sometimes it's not possible to take a photo from dead-on 90 degrees in front of the object: narrow hallway reflections the photo would otherwise be ugly, or cropped weirdly, or otherwise problematic in which case you kind of have to stand off to the side. In these cases, you have some visible "perspective": near side to…

When the reviewers stop rejecting my exercise-inducing world-exploring HIKING TRAILS as "inappropriate location", I'll be much more likely to concede your point @Hosette-ING lol There is NO reasonable way of saying that a marked/signed hiking trail has either any kind of "inappropriate activity" or is at an "inappropriate…

If the poi is physically present at the location 24/7/365, it's "permanent". If it gets moved to storage seasonally, then the poi would be considered "temporary". The location to/from which it gets moved could often be submitted in lieu of the poi, if it meets the criteria independently. ACCESS to the location need not be…

@NianticTintino @NianticDanbocat @NianticGiffard Perhaps talk to @NianticCasey-ING about my specific case, about why I must now refuse to engage in any non-anonymous abuse/fraud/removal requests.

Niantic’s “private property” rules apply strictly to “single-family units”. Things in common spaces of multi-family locations (apartments, condos, townhouses, even gated communities where only residents can unlock the gates) are expressly allowed. @NianticDanbocat @NianticTintino This is the sort of clarification that…

Note that, like "sponsored" locations, players don't have the 100% ability to edit all the information on "hmdb.org" locations. In particular if you discover that one is in the incorrect location, you have to convince the people at hmdb.org to adjust the location in THEIR database. Unless something has changed in…
-
@NianticDanbocat just FYI cuz you’re still relatively new here, but this isn’t just hyperbole. She’s local AND a very dedicated longtime player lol
-
@NianticDanbocat I have some other minor concerns, resulting from a discovery I'd made when submitting a wayspot near me. So there was a wayspot in my downtown, where the object itself had been physically removed. But near its location was a community garden. I asked for the one to be removed from the database, and…

Wayfarer is broken since it replaced OPR To be fair (cue the Letterkenney singers), it was quite very broken DURING its opr phase too. But Niantic's opr/ingress teams treated that as part of an ongoing Beta process, and worked to improve. Just SOME of the issues we were rolling our eyes at back then: Team friction. One…
-
One issue that Niantic should/would be worried about with regards to hospitals is that not all "emergencies" occur specifically at the ambulance drop-off points. And it asks too much of reviewers to try and determine where inside the hospitals the "acute care" wards are, and on which floors. On the other hand, not all…
-
And tagging @NianticGiffard sometimes helps to expedite such complaints. But yeek, it's supposed to be "adventures by foot" not "make sure your phone is in a baggie so it doesn't get waterlogged 'exploring' those masses of terribly misplaced wayspots"
-
To Niantic, "visually unique" means that if you're standing at the location, you can look around and easily distinguish it from its surroundings. Nothing more, nothing less. But reviewers misinterpret the text to mean, "it's boring, same same same as every other thing of its kind". And so we end up having to submit our…
-
@NianticDanbocat Some of our frustration with submission denials can be traced directly to the poor wording on the Wayfarer site. There isn't anything there we can refer to reviewers who have been marking our real, physical signs as a rejection. For examples: They continuously flag the photo as being not good enough. So…
-
Our curiosity about the upcoming appeals process revolves around a few questions: Is it just a way to resubmit rejected nominations without needing to go back to the location for new photos? ie. just make some edits and resubmit Will there be any corrective action taken against the reviewers who had voted spuriously? ie.…

I’m peaceably waiting for my comment with the screenshots I took to be approved. The screenshots that prove my point, that the admins are intentionally moderating redundant posts. And @Anisaerah-PGO it’s not relevant that it may be YOUR first post about it to the group. It’s that you are not the ONLY poster on the topic.
-
“Redundant” posts to the Facebook group, as I’d made abundantly clear.
-
What harassment? The issue (“don’t quote text, even if made publicly by the artist”) has been fully decided. Somebody then makes a redundant post saying the same thing again? And then somebody makes a redundant post saying the same thing again? And then somebody makes a redundant post saying the same thing again? The…

An unnamed former President thinks he is still the legitimate ruler of his little empire. I didn’t name any names, so that somehow means I can say anything I want about that situation, without ever being called out for libel or slander. Except… From the context, it’s absolutely true that YOU know which individual I’m…

You don’t like a Facebook group? Block it. Complain to Facebook about it. Message the admins. Post on reddit. But a group’s policy on how they actively work to quell hostile commentary? That’s between them and, well, them. It’s REALLY not about Wayfarer any more than that somebody’s park isn’t painted in dark green on…
-
”Facebook group moderators acted to remove inflammatory commentary from their groups” becomes twisted into “Facebook group admins are engaging in a disinformation campaign”, and you still don’t think the OP is engaging in harassment? The matter about Niantic’s clarification had entirely been settled, and OP continued to…
-
I am NOT saying that censorship or misinformation is good. What I AM continuing to maintain is that this post is off-topic, harassment, and inflammatory. It should never have been approved in the first place. There are MANY places it could have been posted. But here, where it is inflammatory and constitutes harassment? It…

Let me make my point again by way of bad analogy. A Pokémon player makes a post here in these forums because their edits to OSM haven’t been updated into the game map yet, and they are upset that their new gym doesn’t have its “EX Gym” tag. The thread gets removed by Niantic, because it was off-topic. Yet still, other…

I saw the original Facebook post. It was by a member, and Hosette commented within the thread that she had submitted it. Title was something about “how to turn a 5* nomination into a 1*” So your version of the timeline is decidedly wrong on that point. Me eliding irrelevant details is not me being “wrong” it’s me being…

Presumably you mean something in steps 8-11, which again is equivalent to calling her a liar?
