I mean Niantic just needs to hire a few people. They only need one person to reach a decision the community needs probably dozens.
-
Agree. Bit of an incentive to only appeal good candidates would be helpful .
-
Next nomination rejected as "fake" even though the location and name of the street is marked on the map itself. @NianticGiffard Can you finally do something against people who spam these rejection reasons?
-
You say that like resubmitting is something bad. Most of the time you would tweak title and description at least but it's absolutely fine if the thing is eligible. With the current rules Niantic has not given an upper limit on how many times you can resubmit something and I think most people had at least a few valid…
-
Depends on the region. In the US, Canada, GB and a few other countries it's pretty easy to get a decent trail marker accepted. In the netherlands and belgium you can get almost everything accepted (even those crappy blue signs) and in germany you get nothing accepted unless it's reviewed by Niantic. Which to me shows that…
-
I had a bunch of trail markers reviewed by Niantic. All accepted. 90% of the trailmarkers reviewed by players were rejected. There is a big divide between Niantic reviewers and players. Which means I have to submit every trail marker multiple times until I get a Niantic Reviewer. Bit of a waste.
-
Agree. I believe it's important to make things as clear as possible (even though I don't want to shift all the blame on Niantic. The reviewers can always look up what a rejection reason means) Some people might say that it doesn't really matter but "inappropriate" to me at least feels like a more severe reason than…
-
I have looked around on google maps a bit and found the location in no time. Those huge old silos are impossible to overlook. 48.502261896185246, 10.266065184578435 You really don't need street view to spot that. Might be a part of the current rejection wave that @NianticGiffard is already looking into. @KekseN87-PGO If…

Thank you :D
-
Keeping this POI might be ok from Niantics perspective but I don't think it would conform to some countries data privacy laws. Certain regions of this world are very strict about that kind of stuff. Better safe than sorry - POI like this one should be removed.
-
Here is where Niantic promised to rework the showcase. Any minute now ;D https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/14137/road-to-rediscovery
-
I heard from people who belive it has more weight in the overall decision.
-
Haven't noticed that but I have not been reviewing much. If true that could be a factor. I usually consider the possibility of dutch reviewers in my submissions but any other language might be a problem.
-
Very close to the dutch border. I figured it would be ok though because the sign has the same text in german and dutch so I don't think the dutch reviewers were the problem.
-
This is more about a systematic failure of the system. I will resubmit this and it will definitely go through. Maybe it will take one or two more tries but there is no question about that. That's not the point though. The point is that currently (at least in germany) a lot of nobrainers get rejected. Might be a bot net…
-
As I said. Not PRP and not even on the border of PRP. Picking abuse on something that is clearly not abuse is indefensible.
-
I know how to take a good supporting picture. It was Identifiable.
-
There is enough coal to keep their ratings up. Also they will get the honeypots right. If you can justify selecting abuse because there are "houses across the street" you seriously need to reconsider what constitues abuse.
-
It's not on PRP and the next house is a good distance away. Even if there was a single family house next to it that wouldn't be an excuse for using the abuse button which is reserved exclusively for actual abuse. I don't want Niantic to do anything about this particular nomination but I do want them to ban people who spam…
-
No it's a shop these days. (Which was also clearly visible in the supporting pic)
-
People just spam the abuse rejection - presumably to gain some quick upgrades. @Niantic Are you just going to ignore this behaviour? Please tell me if my submission is abuse otherwise I expect an answer on this matter.
-
That kind of behaviour should be penalised. I can understand "doesn't meet criteria" but this smells like people are just rejecting for quick upgrades and pick abuse because they think it will have more weight in the overall decision.
-
Understandable but I think at that point you have to ask yourself wether or not your votes even have any impact. I like to give clear 1* or 4/5* star ratings because voting neutral feels like not voting at all. I only vote 3* if I'm really unsure but even then I'd rather skip.
-
I heard the same thing from ingress only players who haven't gotten any extra nominations. It's hard to give objective proof without insight into the system though.
-
The reasons are gold :D
-
Niantic should really take a closer look at the bot theory. The current rate of rejections is significantly higher than it used to be.
-
Niantic has definitely changed something. A couple weeks ago I had a decent rate of accepted wayspots. Yesterday I got 4 rejections which never happened before (the reasons were of course complete nonsense). Not sure what it is. Might be bots or people who brute forced the test or maybe Niantic fiddled with the system…
-
push Any comment? @Niantic
-
A year later and I actually got the trail marker from my first post accepted. Problem remains largely the same though. Rejection reasons are still mostly insane.
-
Which - by the way - is something people have been complaining about for months. Niantic is to incompetent to fix some text and now people might get banned because of it. If my opinion of Niantic wasn't already at rock bottom I'd call this a new low.
