1 appeal looked at by Niantic out of about 30. The one that looked at was one of the last ones I appeal. It was accepted by them naturally as it was a good POI and should never have been rejected 5 times before like it was
-
Just for info, I had this same problem submitting using Ingress Prime at one point in the very distant past. I wondered at the time if it was because I don't have GPS co-ord/location info embedded in my photos/exif data but a later Ingress update resolved it. Assumed it was just a bug but never found out if it was exif…

Im wondering if the sync issue and 20m thing are related. It would be nice if Niantic could share the workflow of LightShip with forum/support staff and also us so we can all understand where issues might be. Something simple like: Ingress/Pogo submit POI > Added to Lightship Queue > When 'in voting amount in cell = less…

Wayfarer/Lightship is about adding POI to Niantics database, to be used by their games as each game sees fit as well as maybe being sold to third parties at some point. Yes some people only submit because they want more POI in their game but many want too see their contribution appear and get joy from that. Saying that,…
-
Im beginning to think Niantic have added extra weight to reviewers who have done more voting, to the point where one or two reviewers can get a portal rejected while everyone else voted to accept. My reasoning is that the silly rejections stopped for two or three weeks recently like someone was on holiday but started again…
-
Another 4 syncs times without it happening. If it's taking this long to fix they have made lightship more complicated than it needs to be or dont have any staff who knows how it works. Either the Cron job or whatever you use to start syncing is not starting or its starting and failing. Whatever process you are starting to…

The 'Wayfarer Problem' as I like to call it, has many many levels of complexity and levels. Some are fixable easy any others not so easy. Niantic wants submitting and voting done by as many people as possible. Without masses of people, no progress to their POI database can be made. This means letting people across the…

It's not just in Germany, this last week most of mine are coming back rejected again in the UK. Last one with the rejection reason 'no pedestrian access' despite it showing pedestrians sitting at tables drinking at the outside bar. Either Niantic has tweaked something to make rejections happen again or there are groups of…
-
Don't worry, im sure they will have a meeting to decide what the public facing response will be and if they will get ambassadors in quick so they deflect the flack and abuse with the idea these ambassadors can pass on any discontent among players. They will then have a meeting about this discontent where someone will give…
-
14 syncs that didn't sync and still not fixed Used to work great before Lightship and POI appeared straight away. Niantic just keep making things worse while in meetings they think they are cool using trendy marketing phrases without realising we just want things that work and get fixed quickly. I think that message about…
-
Seeing some people say their bad rejection problem had gone away but recently returned, I just wanted to say I have seen something similar myself. I wondered if a family of bad voters had been away on holiday for a month in my nearby cells at first but seeing someone in Germany say the same seems odd. For the last month a…

As others have said, it's the lack of pedestrian access to go up and touch them. Personally I think it's a stupid rule that needs revisiting. There are plenty of POI you can't walk up and touch so walking up to something it and touching it is not an actual rule. The other stupid thing with the pedestrian access is you can…

Funny yet sad at the same time. Such a confliction of emotions! About time this issue was fixed (said monthly for last 6 months)

See this thread: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/29486/no-ingress-portal-sync-since-monday
-
I am fully aware of that. Im Not sure what relevance that had in reply to what I said anyway? Its been 3 or 4 days since my POI was accepted and not appeared. If you read this thread others have the same problem. It's far past a 7am sync lol. This is a Niantic fault and I hope it doesn't go on as last long as the still 8…
-
It has been reported about 15 times via the scanner. Will be done again, will wait months to get it rejected, then try again.
-
These types of problems should be noticed and fixed the next day, not weeks or months later Niantic is really failing in some key areas I can confirm the thumbs up trick in Pogo does not force a sync to Ingress. It's dead Jim
-
That is irrelevant to my reply really as the same advice stands if you replace 'lake' with 'fishing area'. Nothing is different.
-
Im Pretty sure the guidelines say Wayfarers have to reject anything that is a natural feature. So while it is a good place to meet and socialise, it has to be rejected because it's just water, mud and grass which is all natural. Man made lakes will unfortunately fall under the same umbrella. But a welcome sign or…
-
I also have some stuck in voting for over a year and some in a similar time frame that have yet to get in voting while others might get dealt with within 48 hours. It seems to be cell related from what I can tell although not sure what size/type. Ones in my score cell NR-02-Juliet-10 go through very quickly but 1 mile away…
-
Lol. But people arguing against them need to see and understand that Niantic have accepted them so they do not continue to wrongly reject them in future.... These accepted appeals should be used to educate ;)
-
Finally got one of my appeals reviewed by Niantic which was accepted. This POI was rejected by Wayfarer voters 5 times before I appealed it so im hoping that one by one as they go through all my appeals I get to prove how bad wayfarer voters are in my area like I have been saying all along. Just check every day your…

No need to punish players for their governments actions. Players are just people like you and I who have no say in what is going on right now.
-
Just noticed Niantic are voting on the first one of my appeals. Can confirm its random as this was probably the 25th I appealed out of 30 and while it's a POI that should go through by Niantics rules, most of the others I appealed are much better POI which is a but frustrating but fingers crossed more will get done quickly
-
Been like that for ages I couldn't submit a Butterfly shaped bench once because it contained '****' but they later removed the block because I later submitted a POI called Rifle Butts Alley. So you might find it's a word removed from their block list at a later date
-
I do it on the phone so it's no feasible to do copy/paste all the reviews section's in to different tabs to translate it and unfortunately my browser of choice on the Phone (Brave) doesn't auto translate. Had the occasional french one before but all in a row when I know there are others submitting in my cell in the UK…
-
Thanks for the info on that bug. I submitted it on the 13th and your post said you noticed it fixed is on the 14th. Not sure it's the issue here but it's too far away for me to just pop there and re-submit
-
Even told them in the description they could see another POI in supporting photo. And who doesn't like to see a photobombing dog/bear? ;)
-
It's a bug if the rejection reason given is different to what people are actually rejecting it on. That means there are two issues, Niantic bug and bad reviewers. It was so easy to see this one wasn't a duplicate as the supporting image had another POI in it for reference, so it's position was known and none of the others…

8 Goto the picture and give it a thumbs up. Eventually the one with the most thumbs becomes the new picture but it doesn't happen overnight. Feels like someone randomly runs an SQL job that sorts the picture order occasionally rather than automatic. Thats a different issue to pictures not appearing in the games at all or…
