I can't speak to the rejection reasons you received since I wouldn't have marked any of those. However, I would have given this nomination thumbs down on the last three questions in the review flow. I don't really understand the new review flow, but I would always mark a mural as being significant to the local community. I…

I get that most responders here are trying to be helpful in offering suggestions to get this nomination accepted on resubmission. I'm not sure that this fully answers what the submitter was asking... so I'll just respond by saying that this is certainly not a temporary or seasonal display. Anyone who chose that option is a…

Submissions for artwork in Chipotle can be a bit confusing to evaluate as a reviewer. I wouldn't presume to tell anyone whether I think these are high quality submissions, or how to vote when reviewing them, but many local Wayfarers in my area have had good success in getting "Chipotle Art" submissions approved. Here's a…

I am in the US... my oldest nomination from October of 2022 did go into voting during the challenge, but it did not resolve.
-
This sounds like "Niantic told us to falsify our voting choices since their system wasn't designed to work correctly. Just go along with it." I think the best option is actually to answer each question accurately... and expect Niantic to fix the voting questions if they are broken. It's disappointing to see an Ambassador…

Yep, that's pretty much the point I was trying to make.

Imagine scheduling a business appointment with a client, calling them at the last minute to reschedule, then not showing up for the new appointment. Follow that up by ignoring your client's messages for the next four days. I'm embarrassed to be one of the foolish clients still waiting around for Niantic to call back.

@daawg-ING Just wanted to say what a lovely photo that is. I know that it would look amazing in-game in all of the Niantic games I've tried so far. As a reviewer, I would also have no trouble locating the subject of your nomination. A close-up view is really helpful when the nomination features text that needs to be easily…

I have been so grateful for the activity of the Ambassadors in this forum. They have filled an absolute crater left by Niantic's lack of communication and regular engagement. Yes, they sometimes bicker amongst themselves, but overall they work to educate and inspire the community. I hope the Ambassadors will still be…

I don't think that this refers to any change in how Niantic handles Wayfarer-submitted points of interest. I expect that they will be adding Niantic sponsored Pokestops directly in-game like they do for Go Fest, Safari Zones, and other large events. These stops don't typically have to correspond to any real life points of…
-
The AMA response has been delayed due to "unforseen circumstances." Unforseen by Niantic only, of course. I'm pretty sure that literally every single Wayfinder in the forum knew right from the beginning that the response had no chance of being released on time.
-
I would have approved it as is, but I think you could definitely improve your chances with a more positive, detailed description. Your supporting info did a great job of convincing me that this would be a great place to socialize and explore art, but with the new layout I think a lot of reviewers start clicking buttons…

Was this auto-rejected, or was it rejected by reviewers? I've noticed that a lot of recent rejection posts featured signs listing phone numbers or internet addresses. I wonder if that's a coincidence.
-
Congratulations on your 2000th acceptance!! I love the submission photo you posted for the horseshoe pits. I've had trouble figuring out the best way to photograph these in the past and think your idea is the best I've seen! Thanks for sharing it.
-
So we should assume going forward that Niantic wants us to vote to approve all restaurant logos? Since @cyndiepooh-ING's email told her that her original rejection was incorrect and the follow-up clearly did not reverse that position?
-
Yuck. I have an upgraded nomination in queue right now, and there's what I assume to be an abandoned rental scooter in the background of the supporting photo. Why? Because the sidewalks of downtown Columbus are littered with them, and showing the sidewalk in the supporting photo is an important part of showing safe…

In my local Discord today, a submitter posted the results of their appeal for an apartment complex sign. The community originally rejected for "not historically or culturally significant", which of course I think was justified. I would have loved to see the appeal confirm this and remind the submitter that nominations must…
-
I only started out with 6 affected nominations... I don't have a huge backlog because I've pretty much stopped submitting in slower moving areas unless I have an upgrade all ready to go. They went back to October of 2022 and most had been in voting 3-6 months. 4 have gone back into voting and 2 are still in queue. None…

I live in the US, so most of our cemeteries are active and young compared to the rest of the world. I generally approve war memorials, vet memorials, and flag retirement pits - all of which welcome random visitors - and I also approve what I consider to be historic cemeteries, those with graves dating back to the 1800s and…
-
I live in the US and have had friends stopped and questioned by the police for loitering in the public street near Wayspots. I've also heard overzealous homeowners threaten to take action against anyone violating "their property". Folks here definitely consider the tree lawn to be part of their property. I'm not sure I…
-
I am glad that some reviewers will be receiving upgrades to partially compensate them for all the potential agreements that they have lost. I am extremely disappointed that Niantic is ignoring the frustration felt by submitters whose nominations got dumped back to the bottom of the queue.
-
I guess I'm not explaining myself very well... I agree that this title is not a title and before I would have directly rejected it for Title or Description. I can still figure out how to work the system to give a Low Quality Title rejection now. But I'm concerned that a brand new reviewer (or someone who hasn't figured out…
-
Here's a submission where I feel that I have to rate the Title and Description as "Accurate and Informative" even though I think they are $h!+. I think a title should be, well, a title. Before I could have given 5* to "Should this be a POI?" and 2 or 3* to Title and Description to demonstrate the discrepancy between the…
-
I would really appreciate any information Niantic could share about how the affected nominations will be prioritized (or not) compared to newer nominations entering the system. It would help me know whether to upgrade these nominations, withdraw and resubmit, or let them ride.
-
Can you see any rhyme or reason as to which of your nominations seem to have gone back into voting first... are they the oldest ones, the ones in lower density areas, et cetera?
-
My struggle with using this new flow in general is that too many of the questions address the "location" rather than the specific subject of the nomination. Say the nomination is a drinking fountain located in a public park. I don't think a drinking fountain is specifically a good place to exercise, explore, or be social…
-
@SeaprincessHNB-PGO I have been watching your YouTube videos and they have been quite helpful in showing how to think about all the new decisions to make. I just reviewed an outdoor swimming pool located within an apartment complex, and having answered each question carefully and I believe accurately, I'm pretty sure that…
-
I've only tried to do a few reviews so far... I bailed on all of them because I didn't really know how to answer the questions. Could a Niantic employee or an Ambassador post a handful of reviews with step-by-step thoughts on their decisions for each thumbs up or thumbs down? It would really help people like me understand…

I wonder if the license plate on the truck in the background is legible in the original submission photo.

There have been many times when I've been in an area with spotty cell service and have seen interesting Wayspots load at a distance. Sometimes I can't interact with the Wayspot in-game once I get there in person, but so what? I can still enjoy the point of interest itself. As long as location has accurately been placed, I…
