Good morning @NianticAaron , and thanks for weighing in on this. For the LFL on PRP that I'd indicated, here is where I'd submitted via this website: LFL on PRP — Wayfarer (nianticlabs.com). I had included there a link to the Maps / StreetView, which is better evidence than I could have provided by a picture. However, this…
-
Where it makes sense, I've been updating the image and/or title and/or description to at least point out the issue; eg. for a mural of a ship that was painted over with just plain colour, I submitted a new picture of the boring wall, a title edit of "This Ship Has Sailed", and a description edit explaining the current…
-
I still don't think this suffices as an explanation. In my community, there are lots of greenspaces that were intentionally developed as such, and would have been submitted by the area developer(s) to the city for approval prior to development; this would provide the "intention". They are now maintained by the city; this…

This is the problem: what does that truly mean? What makes it "identifiable as a park"? NianticTintino-ING indicated: "Parks are definitely eligible Wayspot nominations, even ones without official name stones or signs indicating it as a park but are clearly still parks. Similar to the one below, it’s fine to place the pin…
-
I would like to see the three "Eligibility Criteria" categories put into a single box near the top, labeled as such. Then these three categories (Socialize, Exercise, Explore) would simply be line items within. So long as any one of them is up-voted, the review would continue. This would help emphasize the idea that a…

Agreed about the "Appropriate" question; the way it's written including the wording "to be visited by pedestrians" does come across as being more concerned specifically about accessibility to pedestrians, rather than just the general appropriateness of the portal. I'm sure we'll all get used to this, but it should also be…
-
Good timing, this just came up in my review list. Just to show a variance that can happen that skews this discussion: The "utility right-of-way" area is between the road and the sidewalk, and that section is public / city owned. This LFL is in the area that is 100% PRP, no right-of-way, no easement; this is also why there…
-
I thought this same thing. However, near me there is a waypoint for a LFL on PRP, and not only did my initial removal request get denied, but my appeal here with additional info was also denied. I thought that Niantic would err on the side of caution with these due to some legal issues previously, but... maybe not anymore?…
-
Agreed, regional considerations are important. This is why it's set up such that most reviewers are from that region; I know from my own experience in reviewing, this is most often the case - the majority of my reviews are for my own city or regional area. I would suggest that this means that people in your own region are…
-
This isn't quite the same as your examples; PRP often doesn't have a fence on front lawns, and especially if they've put a LFL at the edge (since this would physically interfere). This still does not mean that we should be encouraging players - often young players who won't properly understand - to trespass; nor does this…
-
I would also suggest that, just because I may put a LFL at the edge of my property which is therefore accessible from a public sidewalk or road, this does not mean that I want people walking onto my lawn or other parts of my private property to collect/interact with some virtual object/creature. Remember that the action…
-
I agree that using the upgrade did mean that the rejection happened faster - and therefore was reasonably consumed. However, I would argue that the real problem is not just the slow processing of appeals, but also the fact that appeals don't get returned if the nomination is found to be legit, and/or that we're limited to…
-
Oh, completely understood. But not even an hour ago, I rejected a nomination for (the south door of) a school. It was _described_ as a school. Other reviewers had even _categorized_ it as both a "middle school" and "elementary school". It's a SCHOOL. This should have been so obvious and easy, and yet... ugh. Even having a…
-
From the Wayfarer ratings page: "A visually unique nomination should not be something that is common in the area." This doesn't necessarily indicate that it's related to how easy it is to spot due to size, colour, etc.; simply that it's not a common object in that particular area. On the other hand, it could be argued that…
-
I think automation could happen after there are 'x' number of rejections over 'y' amount of time that end up successfully appealed. Example: in a 12-month period, 1-9 successfully appealed rejections notify the reviewer; 10th suspends reviewing for a month, or delays their own nominations from being approved, or suspends…
-
It would also be so simple for some of the guidelines to be "built in" / included in the reviewing page. One quick example: the supplemental information section could include text saying "URLs are allowed in this section".
-
Agreed; I've submitted "invalid portal" updates where the entire object was no longer present, but this was rejected and the portal remained. A photo would have easily proven the point.
-
I cannot find information around Natural Features anymore in the Criteria pages. Wayfinder 3.1 guidelines seemed to allow for natural features without signboard so long as a designated wayspot can be obviously determined; example: a lake has an entire perimeter, so needs to have a marker/sign as a POI, but a waterfall is…
-
I looked further into this in my own area; I found out that a lot of what may be thought of as being "school grounds" - particularly the athletic fields - are actually owned by the city, and do not belong to the school / education board, and can be used by the public (signs with the phone number to call are often attached…
-
Unless this is new, 20m has not been a minimum distance restriction. Two examples from downtown of my city; these are roughly 5m apart, by the scale on the map: Another example, roughly 10m apart: Is this distance limitation new?
-
Agreed; greenspace is also supposed to provide safe pedestrian access. How else do people get through any parks that don't have paths? Further to that example, a lot of playgrounds don't have pathways up to them (many do, but many don't) and these aren't an issue to get approved. Most athletic fields don't have pathways up…
-
I don't believe I misunderstood at all. I addressed this. I even quoted you. I'm done with this any further.
-
By the supporting image, I would suggest that this is a junction. Out of curiosity, why would this matter?
-
I would disagree on the second point, as this trail marker is a representative of the trail which is obviously for pedestrians and walking. It's clear that we cannot simply nominate the trail itself, as no part of it would stand out. By your own standards, the trail itself would also be generic, and not visually unique.…
-
If they're off-but-somewhat-close, I may indicate it as "mismatched location" and leave it at that, so maybe they'll be more accurate next time. If it's way off (I had one that was ~4km away! But the supporting image gave away the real location near a restaurant), then I'll tag it as "mismatched location" and report it as…
-
Agreed. I've now seen individual trees - even in someone's front yard - or a plain boulder, neither with any provable historical or cultural significance, yet described as "The oldest [whatever] in town!" At least the one on PRP is an easy reject, but with the change in criteria, what if it actually is the only…
-
Absolutely; it just needs to be stated for clarity. Otherwise, a response to your point could easily be, "that action just isn't available for that portal." Further to that example, the UltraStrike can be used directly on resonators as well, yet these resos may go into areas that are not accessible or pedestrian-safe (eg.…
-
I don't see a requirement for the wayspot to be "touchable" anymore; is this also rescinded? The closest I can see is "safe and publicly accessible by pedestrians", but it could be argued that it is safe to reach a wayspot within the 'action range' in the game. Example: a statue in a roundabout/traffic circle may not have…
-
Good morning, I understand that this is still on the reviewer interface, but this is no longer indicated on the rejection page; Niantic is also going to be doing additional updates to the reviewer interface, so I think this just hasn't been done yet: Still to come: [...] Updating the Review page interface [...] I had read…
-
Is this based on the new Wayfarer 3.1 criteria? It states "Must be a permanent physical, tangible, and identifiable place or object, or object that placemarks an area". Given that this is chock-full of "or" conditions, it should mean any of the following: a permanent physical, tangible, and identifiable place a permanent…
