This shows the current state of the system. When it's considered "normal" to way a year to get a response to a submission, you can clearly see something is very, very wrong 🤣
-
In separate posts!
-
You can tell this forum is pure comedic gold when a USER has to explain the system to a NIA employee 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
-
Not even gonna lie, but given that the sub was from the USA, that's about as "culturally relevant" and community hotspot as a restaurant gets. 5* 🤣
-
Trust me, these aren't children reviewing and rejecting nominations for stupid reasons: It's full blown bitter adults that are probably so frustrated that their 9-5 job at MickyD's doesn't let them pay their bills, so they take out their frustration on the one thing they can: Wayfarer. Until Niantic gets their act together…

Removing spoofer hotspots would mean less incentive for spoofers to play, hence bringing sales down. Believe it or not, they're actually a big slice of Niantic's income, and it's in their best interest to keep that money flowing. Why do you think the ToS is taken so seriously on Ingress, and the creators of a hack for WU…
-
That already exists. And it's clearly not working as intended.
-
The issue is, they are correct in a way. Everything in life is temporary. However, the Seasonal/Temporary criteria is there, not to judge something on it's overall life/duration expectancy, but how often during it's duration it's actually accessible or displayed. A Graffiti will remain visible and will be displayed until…

@Nysyr-ING do you understand now what i meant on my posts? While all evidence pointed towards malicious intent, it actually was quite the opposite.
-
Can't believe this but i have to fully agree with you here.
-
Is it still a hot topic? We used to have that before, with Ingress players stating "pokemongs accept every portal without even caring about quality, they just want stops". Few days later, their submission gets rejected: "pokemongs dont know criteria and reject all valid portals". Boy, did i laugh during those times.
-
I mean...you can't even type url's now that end in dot com, because the filter blocks them. So Niantic expects submitters to prove the worth of their submissions, but hinders them massively, and then allows reviewers to basically troll without consequence and reject stuff for the stupidest reasons. Seems like a good way to…
-
I really have no idea how Ingress turfwars function, but i understand the basics. Once again, while i'm not discrediting you, and all the evidence so far possibly points to malicious intent, there's no way to tell. Let me give you an example: A Gym here in my city was recently turned into a stop. It was on the precise…
-
It doesn't appear on any language, not just portuguese. You actually have to go to the WF page, sign in and read the wayspot criteria, as stated in the english announcement. PS: Still wondering why Niantic chose to go with the PT-BR Dialect rather than OG Portuguese 😂
-
I just noticed that the filter actually censored m.a.t.e (m8). Holy christ Niantic, you've literarally hit rock bottom with this thing. Back on point, i'm not assuming anything, before you think i'm taking sides here. I know GMaps isn't flawless, but neither are submitters. And given the tools provided, the move might have…
-
I know, it was a mere attempt to light some fun in an otherwise depressing topic. It's no surprise that reviewer abuse exists, as many people have had things rejected with the most ridiculous reasons (Live animal on clocks, explicit activity on post stations, etc). And i feel like i'm repeating myself constantly here, but…
-
Third party pictures are easy to detect and are easy rejects. I can see the problem you're bringing up, but don't remove remote submitting entirely: If the photos were taken on the spot by someone who went there, that submission being done from home isn't a problem.
-
"I ask Niantic to remove all existing fake portals, clear all fake nominations from the abuser(s) and revoke her/his nomination privileges to prevent similar abuse in the future." Slow down there buddy. The last high profile admitted abuser in this forum ONLY got a warning, AND he insulted the people who denounced him. At…
-
How dare you suggest that someone in the Community Forums would post anything else but absolute 5* nominations?
-
Seems like your own team **** already stated the name of the portal, so so much for anonimity 🤣 As for the move, as others have stated here, this is all very relative. The move might have been malicious or with good intentions, you're speculating that it was ill intent due to the intrinsic value of the portal (And i don't…
-
This is the problem with WF. People turning valid appeals into faction warfare. If the trail has no acess, and has been closed by the Parks and Rec Department for being unsafe, it's because it's unsafe, it doesn't matter if it's Enl, Res, Obama or the Pope holding the portal. No access and unsafe location = removed.…
-
You have to be very specific on which fakes you're reporting. If you give Niantic an entire area, they probably won't be able to tell what's fake from real and you might end up getting real, valid portals removed. Even when you do tell them the fakes, sometimes they mess up and end up removing another POI that was never…
-
How this post and the one below got 3 Likes and 4 Insightful is beyond me. With the vague criteria and guidelines that leave most of the decision making "up to the best judgement" of reviewers, rating something not from your country just because it's "close by" is a two edged sword. You speak of cultural similarities, but…
-
Sarcasm is hard to detect on the internet you know 😜
-
"have finally found a legitimate way for rejecting one of those nominations" "No, its not a valid reason for rejection" Read these two phrases until you understand what's wrong with your statement. If you don't find anything wrong, read them again and repeat until you get it.
-
While i agree with you, let me give you another good example of why that's dangerous. If i say right now that a restaurant where i live, thats constantly packed, its been up and running for decades, is a reference point for locals and outsiders alike, has people travelling 50+ KMs to go eat there on a regular basis, hosts…
-
I'd argue a better solution to all of your points: Local wayspot abuse: Actual punishment to abusers once they are reported. Areas without many reviewers: Dynamic system, Niantic can clearly see how many reviewers have their location set to a particular location, and adapt accordingly. So, if a nomination in an area with…
-
The biggest issue with Niantic "proactively reviewing" things is the fact that, in the same vein as non local reviewers, they won't be making a correct judgement call. Imagine a local coffeeshop in a small village. It's the only coffeeshop and its THE go-to spot for socializing and interacting. The locals know this, and…
-
Sorry, i might have expressed myself badly. The first part about bad reviewing is what's wrong 😅, for this specific case where OP is rating only photos. The rest of it is correct 😂
-
Do not spread misinformation. It has nothing to do with rating wrong, because these photo reviews aren't even rating, it's just picking the photos that don't match the POI. @Cdk296-PGO the only thing you can do is take more time between selecting the pictures and hitting "next". System has been broken for ages but somehow…
