Title: Space-Cat Mural Location: https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=50.93505,14.674927 Proof: unfortunately no streetview around there. But it's most likely fake too. It has a filter on it to look like a bad picture, and again the bottom line of the graffiti looks strange, so also Photoshop is highly likely. Photoshop and bad…

Title: Rundwegweide Fake Location: https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=50.291317,12.221 This infoboard is also part of the trail, where the other infoboard is stolen from. The trail is indicated on the sign at the top: "Rundweg Adorf Zeidelweide" Google then gives you the route of the trail, and the fake wayspot is far off.…

And another fake there: Title: Hydrant Location: https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=50.880863,12.600498 Proof: It's a hydrant. Afaik there are official statements, that hydrants are considered to be ineligible. the right house from the background has a brownisch roof. Around the portals location is only one house with a…

Congratulations. A "non sequitur" (wrong or unclear conclusion). You found out, how to order a special object, especially in low quality. This seems to be enough for you to sdeclare it ineligible, although you know nothing about it. Same way you can buy art objects. You can buy wayside crosses. You can buy a bug hotel…

Please skip the German Challenge phase. When you say "Dura lex sed lex" I give you another Latin law tenet: "In dubio pro reo". Don't judge without enough proof. In another post I asked for being more sceptical for common fakes types ..... because of statistical reasons and own expierience as active fake hunter with a fake…

The keyword "Verein" "Verein" has different literal translations. It can be "club", but also "association". In most cases, when you will see this keyword, "club" will be the most fitting translation, and you can do fast decisions like: "club" -> socializing criterium fulfilled. But try to understand, what the…

Thx for inspiration. Edited my inital post about schools (needs mod approval, so edit not instant there)

Trail markers Hiking trails Hiking trails signs in Germany can be of any type, but the most common type is shown in the following picture. Signs in shape of arrows. Most common colors: white letters on green background, or black letters on yellow background. The quirk of them: Even if a trail marker is part of a big named…

Exactly such an example with narrow streets and no sidewalks is in my thread about Reviewing in Germany ;)
-
One thing is still missing ..... two short hints for trail markers ... thought I sent in in here, but I'll send it again.

Most common fake objects Faking is big problem in Germany. Since there is a lack of Streetview at lots of places, it's easy for the fakers. As a reviewer you'll be forced to use 3* on location very often. But in the following there are some types of wayspots, where you should be very sceptical. Painted Utility Boxes ...…

Private properties and safety of pedestrians In big town you won't have problems and your applied measures for these two aspects should be similar to everywhere else in the world. But maybe lots of foreign folks (I guess especially the Americans) aren't familiar to our historical town development in rural area. so there is…

I'm German and travelled through France in 2019. France had very big "holes" in rural regions without any wayspots. Way worse than Germany in rural area. Friends told me, that this is still a problem there in 2023. So ... it's okay to give France a bit of advantage in that event. Also noteworthy that Niantic placed Germany…

Why didnt you ask for Mime Jr rewards? xD
-
Post about them and other common fake objects is created, but it needs to be approved by Nia because of the pictures in the post xD
-
Candidates at Graveyards Germany's wayfarer community usually accepts different kinds of high quality wayspots there, because of the following problems: the church of rural towns and villages is often surrounded by a graveyard. Would be a shame to reject the local #1 wayspot because of such a weak rejection reason like…

Title: Wappen Location: https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=50.881352,12.601615 Proof: This metal cast thing is only put up by the abuser to create wayspots. It appeared in nearly all threads about this town, now 7. This thing is the No1 proof, that the same person is behind all these fakes, and therefore this fake should allow…

This thread is now nearly 3 weeks in here and still unresolved. Other threads are processed within a few days... @NianticLC

And the next fake attempt at exact this location: real locatio of this object: https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=50.871427,12.61398

Time to act .... More fakes incoming:

And a 2nd new fake there .... Title: Bunte Kunst Location: https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=50.881076,12.601027 Proof: again the streetview from above. From that point of view and one step further you can see all houses of the neighborhood there. Not a single one has a brick facade there ....

Name: Gebäuderelief inaccurate location: https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=50.875873,12.596562 accurate location: 50.8762,12.5968 proof: https://www.google.com/maps/@50.8763995,12.5965952,3a,16.3y,141.95h,95.47t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s89wBrz5mefjrprT3kxdHNw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

Name: Junge mit Flöte Location: https://intel.ingress.com/?pll=50.874654,12.603281 Seems to be window decoration of a shop, therefore temporary display. Check out the new streetviews around that location. I didnt find that thing anywhere...

Starting from this position in Streetview you can drive through the street. https://www.google.com/maps/@50.8789512,12.6034104,3a,75y,162.98h,92.49t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sV0T1ImR2UlOL0NxJ3YsVrw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu You'll see no hint of the following two portals: Name: Hölzernes Besteck Fake Location:…

Is there any hope, that Niantic will correct their own failures? Wrong duplicates, that cause a lot of chaos for half a dozen of following nomination, and rejecting clear 5* candidates .... that aren't unimportant oddities - that are indicators for a shallow work attitude and not giving a **** for wayfarer. All necessary…
-
And ING-players don't like couch portals?
-
That's partially not true. ING has the strategic component, so that uncommon locations are part of the strategy and tactics. And ING-actions of players can highly effect other players. In PoGo the main goal is collecting stuff. But everything concerning gyms can be very strategic, too. For example for gold badge hunters…
-
That's at least partially not true. I discussed lots of these aspects in these two threads: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/11095/waiting-times-and-the-distribution-of-reviews-dead-cells/p1…

Next clear Niantic voting fail: What say the rules about this? Back from OPR days:´(source this thread) Candidate: Mountain Top Marker Policy: Accept Suggested Vote: ★★★★★ ACCEPT permanently attached logbooks, structures, or signs. Looking at it in the new criteria wording: There are no changes, that contradict this…
