  • Ohhhh I think I see why there are no spawns now after viewing your map. It looks like the orange border for the airport includes the actual park area all the way to the parking lot. I am guessing this was changed recently and Niantic uses these to define the borders of places like airports and schools which blocks spawns…
  • Ahhhh I have a feeling this had something to do with it. 3 out of 4 that went into niantic voting I did after returning home. It was a new place not marked on the map yet and my phone signal was weak so marked them on a map while walking around and took photos but did not submit. I wanted to make sure I got them right. FYI…
  • What if all the spawns disappear but the pogo stops and gyms remain? Anyway had this scenario happen? Our community had a great smaller size park that the community frequented often and a couple years ago all the spawns vanished. It still has three gyms and seven stops. Lures and such still work their but 0 wild spawns. It…
  • Update! All four of my nominations have been returned to queue. Since they are only a week old and it usually takes a year for my noms to go into voting no harm no foul here. Still curious what caused this to happen though.
  • How many upgrades do you have left? That is the total you have redeemed and does not count unused upgrades.
  • I was thinking the word Legacy was triggering mine until the 4th one hit niAntics voting without Legacy.
  • Even with 1/20 odds the chances of 4out of 5 has to be close to a one in a million I am guessing. Trying to figure out what triggered them and can't find an answer. Two of them maybe it is because they are inside a building and can not be located on maps? The first on my list maybe because it seems fishy? lol. I can tell…
  • Maybe the new bot is pulling all of my noms to use them as examples of what makes a good wayspot? Haha
  • Sorry I was using my phone while posting this and the drop down for choosing a discussion does not show do not post appeals here haha.
  • please do not post appeals here like I did. Ha
  • Yes Hilton Head is super low as far as population goes per square mile. The island itself is actually a lot larger than all of Greenville County. They count all the unlivable areas like marshlands in their total land area so it is huge. Want to say like twice the size of Greenville County. I had a discussion about all this…
  • I to do not live in a large city or rural area either. Greenville,SC population is around 560,000 in the city with lots of smaller cities surrounding it and is around 200 miles from Atlanta and 110 from Charlotte which I use to receive a lot of nominations to review from those areas. The problem with all the revamps done…
  • @smantz0rZ-PGO 100% nailed it all the way down to when they restructured the way noms were voted on a year or two ago all the way to when they reset the whole system in October. I to have taken a couple parks, one which had two poi and added over 40 poi to it where community days are now held(Unity Park, Greenville, SC). I…
  • Really well written and a good reference for all new nominators and reviewers. The only two things I have a difference of opinion on and this is my personal not professional opinion lol on my personal experience reviewing and nominating would be the Photo that includes a historical marker along with the footbridge and the…
  • I am starting to get the feeling that the reason appeals started going through quicker and after my park was denied in appeals yesterday is because they started using some type of AI system for appeals. How else can these rejection reasons and some of the rejections I am looking at be done by paid employees?
  • I have 4 that are over a year(oldest 459 days) and 40 or so that are over 6 months old. I don't even bother checking them for updates and really don't care about them anymore. Lost interest in them since it has been so long. When I receive the email they were accepted I do not even remember nominating half of them.
  • I wouldn't hold your breath. They will probably decide to reset the nominations at the beginning of the year. Who knows with them since they do not communicate when things happen, they ignore the community really well though. All 4 of these did not even hit voting until about 10 days before they hit the button on Oct 28.…
  • These are the views from google street view of the ones that were accepted from voters and by Niantic. Notice the one that Niantic accepted is very similar with less surrounding features and I think(Too tired to check ha) only included one or two benches on each end with a walking path circling it. The others were no more…
  • Shadwell Green Space is exactly that. A small oval shaped grassy area. They all have very similar entrances and walking paths along with benches. One thing I guess I should have pointed out in top of the festival held at Belhaven is the community garden 50' or so away directly across the street. I think I have had 2-3…
  • I am still sitting sitting out in protest of the number of upgrades I received after the server reset took place shortly after the last global review. I will continue sitting. on the sidelines until I am given what I deserve in upgrades which is at least an additional 34 by my math because of an unannounced reset. Still…
  • Funny you should mention the other two that happen to be my nominations made on the same day. One of them was actually denied so I appealed it and it was accepted. I completely forgot about that. Now tell me why this pocket park that is in the same neighborhood less than a mile away with very similar features was accepted…
  • So a mural that only has a 50/50 shot of still existing in a year or so or being painted over is perfectly fine but a neighborhood park that holds annual events like a ballon fest or weekly events like a farmers market, which both are pictured if you click it on google maps as I stated in my appeals. Is that not the same…
  • Last comment then I am finished I promise haha. The point I am trying to make is my area does not go through voting very fast at all. It basically came to a halt when the system was reconfigured to assist in rural areas. Our area seems to have fallen into a dead zone and no one has any noms voted on in less than 6-8 months…
  • These numbers are all automatically calculated. I am coming up with 830 reviews the final 6-7 days alone and that is just a very small portion I am guessing I still had in voting. Unless I am missing something here like I did earlier on the 800 extra ya'll added on for compensation haha, but this number was before that as…
  • Well oops lol I dropped the ball on that I admit it haha. but I am sticking with the 40+ upgrades I believe I would’ve earned. if you look back at the prior 30 days to the reset I reviewed 3048 nominations and received 2069 which leaves 979 agreements That had either been voted on and I did not match everyone else or had…
  • @NianticTintino-ING any way you could share how upgrades were distributed? I feel like maybe it was mainly heavily based off the number of nominations you had in voting when the system reset and not the number of reviews you made. I only had around 10 in voting at the time since I upgrade most of my nominations. So maybe…
  • DId you happen to edit it? There use to be trigger words like "sponsored" people would add by editing the description after nominating it that would immediately cause it to enter niantic voting, but I think that was fixed from what I have heard from others. Surprised the folks that would do this were not punished , but…
  • Wow lol just wow. What did you say in the description? Not the best photo but good enough in my opinion. What a terrible response by them. "Thank you for your appeal and although it is a good submission and should be approved I really need to tinkle and do not have time to approve it because I am about to wet my pants.…
  • For starters milk tea is two words and you also left the S out at the end of treat, but it was probably rejected because it seems to be a common restaurant with nothing unique about it. If it has anything that separates it from another similar place include that. Like this place has been around over 40 years and makes a…
  • Received 8 upgrades which gave me around a 20% agreement rate on poi I voted on that did not receive a final decision on noms reset. I am currently about 82% on agreements after voting on 65k-70k nominations. I deserve a minimum of 40. No intention on returning to voting ever unless this is fixed. I have voted on 0 since…
