Thats why Niantic has stressed over and over again local community standards. In most cultures a barbershop isn't a socialize place. Just like in most cultures a mailbox isn't a historical artificat. But England it is. Now one critical difference is the "Size of a community" matters. England is a larger community size and…

Personally, I'd love to see the Benches/Plaque rule modified. 1) If a bench / plaque could serve as an anchor for a "Explore" worthy view. It should be acceptible. Not because it's inherently eligible but it serves as a anchor for people to go see something worth exploring too. 2) If bench / plaque is part of a trail. It…

In fairness, you skipped the other possibility that the reviewers were correct and niantic appeal was wrong. And I don't even mean that as insult, I mean that as in human nature. There are good reviewers who pay attention to criteria, faqs that are probably better than Niantic's appeal reviewers. To use a military analogy.…

For pretends sake, if the grafitti was actually an artistic wall mural. I wouldn't let a fire hydrant stop me from voting for it. Parking in front of it would be illegal in America. But other stops are in places you cant park in front of. Yes, in theory there could be a fire and a bunch of players could be in front playing…

Thanks! I overlapped King & Random because the nature of their posts suggesting everyone else in the community is the one wrong is so similiar in content and tone.

If you want to **** off wayfarer and eliminate your free labor reviewing points... This thread is a GREAT way of doing it. @NianticGiffard You took whining from a poster who whines a lot, showing multiple poor submissions then sent out messages to 67 people saying they have been incorrectly reviewing. You didn't give any…

Absolutely Dairy Queen could buy a sponsorship. The issue is that we have had Niantic Developers say a chain could be locally relevent there by eligible specifically. I am thinking that there should be a line between "Popular = Why the restaurant is a chain" and "Gather" which implies to be larger focus than just a…

Talking with my friend group. I see the range. Some have appeal from original opening: Not yet touched My review from when Reviews reopened: Been in voting for about a month. It went into voting quickly, but has been stuck there. My review from a month later, not yet touched. Been almost a month as my appeal should repop…

I hate the temporary claim. Almost any business is temporary in the sense that it may go out of business. Artwork can get changed out. A mural can get painted over. Any if something is removed, just do a removal request the same as you would when a store closes. The skating rink I could see in PMG from my house, died to…

I'll fess up. Ive had 2 nominations recently that I felt were 3* at best on a generous day. One was an condo complex entrance sign. Normally, an easy 1*, but those arent inherently ineligible if they are much nicer and artistic looking they might qualify as explore worthy as art. This was was definitely noticibly more…

A fun attempt to summarize Moving an Accurate Location to Inaccurate Location --- Again Niantics Rules, Abusive, and widely confemned. Moving an Accurate Location to Another Accurate Location --- Against Niantic Rules. Some people argue its a victimless crime as no one is hurt. But that fixing it actually creates victims.…

There is a lot of debate on what "Temporary" means. one of common reviewers outlook is that anything that looks like it can be removed, is therefor temporary. I personally don't like that definition, as by that reviewer outlook just about any POI is temporary. Business close and therefor any business-based POI could be…

Step1: Improve your photo. Your photo doesn't match what you are trying to nominate. Your background photo is actually a better photo for your main photo, then your main photo. Step2: Improve your description. If you want to have any chance of passing your description should be something more explore worthy. Something like…
-
The criteria is Place to Explore, Place to Gather, or Place to Exercise. A memorial bench doesn't meet any of these 3 without evidence/explanation. Even with it... its hard to meet those 3. The most common acceptance for a memorial bench would be if you could show that the person is famous/important to the area. That would…

@dman41689-PGO No one is yelling. People have already told him how to improve, even @WasatchWalker-PGO who voted no acknowledge/said, improve your photo & make it clearer in description that this is a permenant picnic area. Then it can be a Yes. The difference is you implied it wasn't fixable, that its just ineligible. It…

What doesn't make sense? I am saying your claim that they are Generic Mass Produced = Reason to Rejection is out of date. If that is your reason to reject... your reviewing badly under out of date notions. Trail Markers are some of the most mass produced generic things out there. Some of them are as simple as a Colored…

It might be worth one more try. Take the picture to make it more obvious that its cemented in on a cement area. That its a man made specific gathering place. On other hand, I have one similiar that I was going to resubmit but didn't feel like going back to the place and just used an Appeal which I am waiting to see on.
-
The problem is you are simply outdated and Niantic sucks updating their in game reasons. They still don't have a rejection reason for the most basic "Doesn't qualify as a Place to Gather, Exercise, or Explore". That rejection reason was from before the Criteria Refresh, and just never got updated. Almost every pergola I…
-
The one in the center looks cemented in.. If permenant it should qualify as a place to gather.
-
I have one on hold with this picture. I could still go closer, but was looking to see if resubmitting or some other route for vanished pois like removal appeals made more sense.

No, its not in the lightship database. The Lightship database was taken initially from Ingress Database. so since this nomination didn't meet ingress 10' rule it didnt get into the Ingress and therefor didn't make the nomiation. @JillJilyJabadoo-PGO its still in my contribution management page meaning the record is there…

To be fair, he didn't give us the specifics. If his original location was "Valid" then Reviewers should not move it because he took his time to make the submission. As an example, take a playground. Its big. It might be 20 feet by 20 feet. If you place on any edge that is a perfectly valid placement if reviewers decided it…

The forum is called Nomination Improvement. If you don't share and look for advice on if there is any mistakes on your end, go complain in General. Often there are mistakes on submitters end, or at least room for improvement. This forum is wonderful when used well. Recently I've been on a submitting kick. I'm averaging…

@PepeFuentez-PGO I tend to agree with you on how location matters on whether something fits the crtieria. But you need to explain that in your supporting info box how is it worthy based on that location. Too often when reviewing I see something like a Mexican Restaurant I don't have any feedback from the submitter on what…

My reason for posting wasn't to fix PGO, it was more wayfarer-centric that what incentives do players have to submit more POIs to wayfarer when players don't feel rewarded in submitting because of the game board rules. To backtrack for a second, before I knew about Cell Rules, I submitted POIs with about a 2/3 success…
-
I 'd tweak "What is it category" to be Which Criteria are you nominating it as "Explore, Gather, Exercise" That puts the purpose of a submission as the first thing a submitter sees I'd put a checkbox before the final submit button that says "I know the ineligible categories like K-12 Schools and hearby testify this…

I've had one "In voting" for 2 weeks. Friend had one from day 1 appeals, still not looked at. Rhyme... reason... where r u

Ive always throught that flawed. Since people nominate within thier game, why wouldn't they think they are nominating for thier game. The flaw isn't people thinking that way, the flaw is Niantics design and not having a seperate stand alone app for nominating. Anyway a bit tomato tomato... ish but I blame Niantic not…
-
A friend and I stopped by and he used an upgraade to resubmit its in. We did tweak a couple things but I can't cut and paste from his. Tweak 1: We took the main photo from inside the field looking toward the backstop, rather than from outside looking toward the backstop Tweak 2: @flatmatt-PGO we mentioned the field hadnt…

The title of this forum is nomination improvement. If you want to post your 3 rejections, people will offer you advice on how to improve your nomination. Short of posting your nomination, it's just as likely you are wrong on what a valid wayspot is, and your question could be reversed and asked why don't people get…
