Cool, I can finally nominate that historic Church lych-gate I've been struggling with due to rural location and lack of mobile signal!
-
@AgentX1976-ING I love what you've said. I often find myself visiting new areas (especially hamlets and villages) in order to find great new Wayspots to nominate. Given how many points of interest in a village tend to be "clumpted together", it's important that I have military levels of precision when nominating Wayspots,…
-
Indeed. Discuss with the communiy how to make Wayfarer better (i.e. revert a lot of the changes that were made last month, which people despise). I do hope Niantic is improving. I've often been one to critique them, and although I don't agree with the increased radius for Wayspot interaction being kept, at least it shows…
-
Yes, theoretically, one could then re-inflate the votes. However, I am certain once the gym is chosen people lose interest in voting on photographs in that area. I know that in my own area, rather than rely on multi-account people, we come together as a community to decide the location of gyms in pivotal places. This…

Isn't this kind of a duplicate of this bug report I filed? I understand the need for satellite view too, of course. Whoever thought it was a good idea to remove them from the nominations page needs a stern talking to I think! EDIT: Maybe the threads can be merged somehow?
-
I like the look of this. It does not appear to be part of a big chain and looks to have a unique charm to it (even if hipsters are kind of "meh" to me). It certainly looks like a "local hotspot", but a hard sell for sure. It even looks like there may indeed be some cool art on the inside which one may be able nominate in…
-
With all of the complaints, I'm stunned Niantic has not yet reverted back the older Warfarer. How much more proof do they need that the new Wayfarer is terrible? People hate it. This is concerning and if somebody seriously hurts themselves because of this, I'm sure Niantic could face legal action.
-
Why are spending so much time defending rule breakers? Nobody who isn't already convicted is not being convinced by what you're saying I can't decide if you're trolling or not. You've successfully de-mailed the thread so we're no longer talking about what the OP wanted to talk about, so well done for that, I guess
-
Perhaps one could word it something along the lines of "this coffee house describes itself as..." If said independent coffee house has been around for many decades then obviously the locals will agree with said statement(s). I would never do an exact copy and paste from their website or social media page(s).
-
I believe you're misconstruing the original post of the topic. The topic is shedding light on the ills of a Facebook group and now the higher ups in that group are panicking. I understand people from that group want to do damage control, of course.
-
People are upset at being exposed for being the uncouth individuals they are so they are frantically begging Niantic to close this topic. Sad. I believe it's in Niantic's interest to have this iniquity exposed. It is unfortunate that there are people who are taking the words of this group above the words of Niantic. Sadly,…
-
Quick, let's sweep it all under the rug before anybody else notices how wrong we are!!!
-
Nice to have you on-board! If it gets enough attention, Niantic will be forced to address this issue! Just bring back the former Wayfarer layout! So much better!
-
I even said in the very first post in this thread two things: "Like "up-votes" they all have badges..." I also said: " it got some "up-votes" - enough to get me a badge " I am not sure where you got the impression there was no badge for them because I mentioned it twice above.
-
There is a badge for 'upvotes', which you do not appear to have earned yet. That's why it would be nice list them on the profile. For the sake of being consistent.
-
This!!!!! Also, I would urge anybody upset with the recent Wayfarer changes to the nominations page to up-vote here, because we need to see Google Street View on our own nominations (e.g. to check if a Google Photosphere is live):
-
Yes exactly. Though of course the reviewing screen has its fair share of issues. All the changes really make one wonder if Niantic staff who made the changes actually use Warfarer. How frequently do they review they review nominations these day?
-
Indeed, sometimes in areas with noticeable GPS drift, my sausage fingers put the nomination in totally the wrong place (i.e. not on the nomination itself). The fact that I cannot see the Google Street View or the satellite view is concerning. There has bee no communication as to why this change has been made. If they has…
-
I believe the issue happens when I accidently happen to tap on the camera button more than once in quick succession. I thought "great, issue has been fixed now". But no. After a few tries I was able to nominate what I wanted to nominate.
-
Previous reply not showing for some reason, so writing again. Due to age, the stink pipe contains a previous iteration of the town heraldry. Thus, this gives me an opportunity to talk about that. Many different manufacturers and designs of stink pipe so no usual to see two which are exactly the same.
-
Yes, that was me. I cannot see any good reason for the removal of Google Street View. Again, the nominators/players were not consulted.
-
Thank you for the clarification.
-
The stink pipe contains the town heraldry on it. Thus, I have an opportunity where I can talk about the features of the town coat of arms (which an outdated version, given the age of the stink pipe). No two stink pipes appear to be the same as there were so many different manufactures and designs. Sadly, this one has been…
-
Thanks for the clarity. The one I found was hiding plain sight. Banning the word pipe also means people will be unable to nominate certain sports related infrastructure, such as half-pipes used in snowboarding and skateboarding.
-
You can't be serious, can you? Is the word "pipe" a kind of profane word that must be banned? What possible reason could there be to banned such benign words? I tried a few words. s.h.i.t.e also made it past the filters. Some people just don't appreciate history!
-
Yeah, I'm wondering what we did wrong to deserve this? Were we bad like Sodom and Gomorrah? I think not! Most people giving up their free time to work unpaid work for Niantic are honest individuals.
-
I'm looking at my old nominations and I cannot see the Google Street View, nor can I move the Google Maps view around. For some reason, all I see is a screenshot of Google Maps. Plus, there's no borders around everything and it just looks so uncouth. I hate the new Wayfarer. Reviewing feels like even more of a chore than…
-
Lots of reasons to hate Wayfarer, sure. There is elitism sure. Your photograph is showing nice scenery. However, I'd need more convincing that is a good nomination. Some reviewers may argue a nomination in that exact spot is blocking the life preserver, which they argue should not happen. Without more information, I do not…
-
Wondering if this going to get addressed because it's concerning. As I said previously, there can be a variety of reasons to withdraw whilst in voting. Especially now that nominations accepted within 20m of another are not being deleted. If one only notices their nomination is a duplicate until after it's gone into voting…
-
GPS spoofers can certainly be problem in places, though I don't like to default to "I cannot see that person, therefore spoofer". Niantic games fail to take elevation into account, so in a big city there are going to be lots of people playing on the insides of tall buildings. Plus, in somewhere like the Canary Wharf…
