Folks reject submissions for having URL's in supporting information. What makes you think they wound't reject for one having a group of people in the supporting photos Also a crowded restaurant would make it more difficult to get a proper portal image. Countless recommendations say to go during off hours to get better…

If you want to talk about submissions that are inaccurate, sure, but assuming its a soccer field that was properly submitted then comments like "There is no must accept" are ridiculous. You and I both know there are things, assuming are submitted accurately, that if you reject you are reviewing incorrectly and trolling. If…

Folks tend to look at the first image and make up their mind then and their. Your main image, while not out of context, does present the property as a Single Family Residential Property. SFRP. These are a hard no for Niantic. It take far fewer rejections then it does acceptance votes for things to come to agreement. I'd…

New Englander as well, and I think the comparison to the Boston Marathon is spot on. I also think that anyone who considered specific/unique signage for one event to be "mass produced" is misusing the term to fit a narrative. These types of signs are unique to a specific event or area, and outside of that specific use case…
-
it wouldn't have been rejected in that case. It would have been marked duplicate and the email would have indicated as much This is twisting words to fit a narrative; like my six year old does when he argues with me. Yes, there is nothing that "must be accepted" because reviewers can review any way they choose (without…

Grills, picnic tables, and ponds on their own aren’t acceptable. A spot clearly intended for social use that includes is 100% within the guidelines of eligible. Acceptance is another matter. I’d sell it more on any events that happen here, who uses it. Sucks that it got auto upgraded. Not a submission that I would have…

Most RPGO's who issue bans will at least be able to quantify the ban with details on the infraction. I look to WoW and LoL as examples of folks glitching a game; especially for PVP purposes; and there would be a warning and then temp ban and then permanent. They would also quickly update or edit certain aspects of the game…

Natural features were previously explicitly excluded from eligibility but are now listed as examples of good Wayspots. Can you provide more information about any requirements for these locations? Good question! It’s true that these are now up for consideration as eligible Wayspots. Famous waterfalls and lagoons, or popular…

Exercise, socialize, explore..... while this may be "informative" and I would personally love free mulch, this doesnt fit into these three categories. not eligible.
-
Place to explore, socialize or exercise. Does the dentist office fit any of those three?
-
With upgrades, the title, the picture, and the supporting picture/info need to be no brainers, spot on. "Above the Headgates"? Maybe if I was local I might know what that meant but this went out o the masses so... no clue. I know Niantic tells you to "show off your photography skills", you probably went a little over board…
-
I agree with you on 1 for certain (that can be bought as is or as a prefab kit from your local lumber yard) and 2 (based on that photo) I might even agree with you on 4 (although it's a bit more intricate). . The others to me are not generic as they span a creek or brook, and essential for use of the trail they might be…
-
Since Natural features are now valid POI who's to say where the water fountain and the water separate. The fountain doesn't exist without the water and the fountain is clearly the POI of most ponds. I have submitted two large water fountain features in man made ponds in my area. Both have gone through (neither upgraded).…
-
Neither does Niantic which is why they suggest people vote it as a 3* if they don't know.
-
Certainly would speak to the cultural relevancy and would help get them accepted. I wouldn't worry to much about what address pops up in Wayfarer. When I select my home location on the map in wayfarer it assigns the address from an entire street over.
-
...those that insist that if it is not mentioned in the criteria, there is no such burden on the nominator and that reviewers are "making up their own rules" for rejecting nominations that don't provide any supporting evidence. Not remotely close to what anyone, arguing either side, has said. @gazzas89-PGO has the right…
-
Your ignoring words in your own "evidence" that completely contradict whatever point your trying to make. I can't sit here all day and try to teach you how to read context and apply them appropriately on this medium. I would love to if I could, but at this point I've proved my argument beyond a shadow of a doubt and all…
-
Clearly anyone walking around with their jackhammer could take this right out in five minutes!🤣 You upgraded it and you got caught by agreement fishers. Looks like a legit submission. I would submit again but dont upgrade and keep it to the local review community, at least for a while. Should go through but maybe not on an…
-
Submit it without upgrading it. Keep it local. If its on a common rail trail then local voters may be more familiar with it. I would doubt that there was a local news article about some randomly painted polls on a rail trail. (its also way more detail then should be required). Maybe mention when they were done. Or if you…
-
Good submission, you got agreement fished. Try again, if you upgrade it I would let it sit with the local review community for a bit and then upgrade down the road if its taking too long. I would mention its in a business district. I would stop at saying its not SFRP as folks tend to think your lying but you can say it…
-
multi accounting, while it may be common place in PoGo, is actually strictly prohibited in the terms of agreement. Not something to be highlighting. If they are owned by two separate individuals different story.
-
Infrastructure submissions are tough. While Water Towers and Hydroelectric Dams are often accepted that tends to be the extent of it. A submission like this will likely take several non upgraded tries before it would gain acceptance, if it ever does. Keep trying but I think you're in for a uphill fight with this one.
-
try using quotes in actual contexts and you can talk to me about denial. This is where those critical thinking skills you claim to have would come in handy. Although I'm guessing that ship as sailed. #challangenotaccepted 😥
-
I had a post all ready to go for you on this one because you seem to be missing much in the way of context (your own quoted text deceives you) but hardly seems worth the key strokes at this point, instead I will reply with this. Also let me know when you want to take up my challenge of citing something that actual fits…
-
Your rating only changes when things reach agreement. It is very doubtful that by the end of a session all those cafe's would have reached an agreement point. Maybe a couple by pure chance but not enough to negatively impact your rating. More likely several other things from past sessions reached agreement and it was pure…
-
You know you've lost on argument when your rebuttal is "buddy give it up already" LOL. You know how I know we are on the right side of this discussion? Because the guidelines tell us so. I can site them and they match my argument. I don't have to add or remove text or misquote or make s%*t up. You know how you can tell…
-
Refers to chain location and is directly related to a discussion around why a Starbucks could be considered. Its in his first paragraph of what you linked. Irrelevant to this conversation as we are not discussing chains. Again twisting guidance to your narrative or in this case flat out ignoring context of a quote to pass…
-
Honestly, if this sign was nailed to a tree I bet it goes through without much issue. It looks much more official. And dont get me wrong that's not on you as the submitters fault. As the expression goes, it is what it is. Bu you have to admit there is a pretty big disparity between those two signs. One looks like it was…
-
Niantic has also said that its up to the submitter to show proof that their submission is eligible, you fail to do that if you are only using buzz words. I am not making my own personal rule, you must show proof of your claims. That phrase has never been uttered by Niantic. This is a great example of twisting their…
-
Agree, there is a POI that showed up in a parking lot instead of the memorial plague that is located next to the lot. I tried to move it just after they implemented the rule and the first edit was rejected (because its still in the lot) the second was accepted, again still in the lot. Now I am on my third edit to the…
