I've basically stopped reviewing (and looking for submissions). And the few people I knew who were doing it in my area have stopped too. And the few remaining nominations I still have left in the system are now stuck in voting, with some of them in areas that would normally get approved relatively quickly. It's fear of…

It's distressing to think that you get a warning over a single review. And for a logo of a chain restaurant. I'm not sure if I'm missing something here but I think I would have rejected it too. And probably would have got the same warning. Niantic needs to provide some extra clarification on this; these are the type of…

Thanks for offering to help out. It's a sports field next to another one and the pictures are somewhat similar. You can clearly see on a google map using satellite view that they are two distinct fields. They are in different cells and I'm 99.99% certain that no one else nominated it as well. It appears that voters thought…

Nearly no one is going to care about reading a long description once it is approved. And for simplicity purposes, the title should ideally be concise as possible. I've never had an issue of the title field being too short when nominating something new -- after nominating hundreds of points of interest. So I would keep…

That's one LONGGGGGG sentence.
-
It really comes down to the quality of the nominations. If someone submits 100 rocks or street signs, they are likely all going to get rejected. And if someone submits 100 park signs or public playgrounds, they are likely pretty much all going to be approved. I've had nominations approved in as little as 2 days with no…

Yeah, this seems pretty clear that it's pedestrian accessible
-
I see a cross-walk on the pavement in the second picture. That seems very accessible to pedestrians.
-
I'm not sure how Niantic could confirm that they are upvoting bad nominations unless someone personally looked at each nomination to confirm if it was actually bad. Which seems uniikely. I'm assuming they are instead using some type of algorithm that indicates this trainer sometimes votes positively on nominations that get…

They are working for some of us. I used 2 last night and the nominations were approved about 8 hours later
-
They showed up today. Although they were both over 50 hours since receiving the acceptance email
-
Slowed down to a crawl for me today. I'm still waiting for my first nomination to pop up to review. After several minutes, i've refreshed and still nothing. Hard to reach targets when you can't get any nomination of any type to appear.
-
No. There is a large cemetery near me that is a VERY popular spot for walkers and runners since it is very lush and park-like. The Cemetery even hosts walking tours and there is even a visitors center there. In addition, there are some very famous people buried there with gravestones and memorials that people seek out to…

Never mind -- i found answer in the Spain challenge
-
Yeah, it's super-slow for me no matter what time of day I try reviewing. Perhaps Niantic can adjust the reward tiers because I don't see I can possibly invest as much time reviewing to hit 250 which was my target going into this.
-
Seeing a similar drop-off here too.
-
Hard to believe that the Subway stop is still in game. It obviously does not meet criteria.
-
Yep -- Upgrade Next doesn't mean it is upgraded. I'm also not thinking that particular nomination has a good chance in getting approved, so you might want to reconsider using (and potentially wasting) an upgrade.
-
It was rejected for Other Rejection criteria, so no further insights from that. I haven't even considered looking at signs inside the mall; in fact, I don't even know if there are signs inside. And everything I nominate always has pedestrian access, so that's not an issue here; I've probably have got 400 or more approved…
-
The mall in question has different road/street entrances. It is not a **** plaza. I originally nominated (and got approved) the tallest sign as it has the most visibility over the rest and is probably then most recognizable landmark outside the mall. It is on the north side on a street maybe 100 meters from the mall and it…

I can feel your pain but I'm not understanding your comment about having the items/places that will be able to be accepted. Have you not already nominated them or ??
-
I use them in certain areas where I know the average review time is long, and I'm reasonably comfortable that they are going to be approved. Or use them by the immediate vicinity of where I live since I know I can easily take advantage of due to proximity.
-
Not a new submitter. I have submitted probably around 500 (or maybe even more) nominations in the past, with the majority of them successful. I've maybe submitted 20 or so nominations in total this year before my big week last week. I'm in an area that is pretty much fake-free. And don't see anything unusual with any of…
-
Concept is OK, but there are too few prizes and they aren't significant enough. Especially since they really don't cost Niantic anything. Another challenge I'm going to skip.
-
Unless Niantic commits to having more resources in the back-end to deal with the appeals, it doesn't make a lot of sense to increase the number of appeals that people can submit. Best you just resubmit the nomination again.
-
I can appreciate the difficulty that rural players have, but I am already seeing so many rural or remote location nominations to review on an ongoing basis, I'm not sure if that is really is an overwhelming concern compared to entire countries or areas thereof that are vastly under-represented with points of interest as a…
-
Good job in researching this. Hopefully Niantic will severely deal with the people who have submitted the nominations. I'm guessing they have nominated other fake points of interest in other places around the world as well.
-
I've had some great nominations with pictures taken at night all approved on the first attempt. These have been pictures where the background lighting was excellent and the lighting showed off the point of interest much better at night versus daytime. I think the time of day you take the picture really depends upon the…
