Nothing that I wrote was snarky. You kept mentioning "tells you something about your local community" as a criterion. But that's not one of the main criterion. The criteria are what I listed. When people post here, we have no way of knowing what they do and don't know about Wayfarer. Many have just heard bits and pieces…

It could just as easily be argued that you're in favor of supremacist groups getting to describe Civil Rights monuments because they represent the majority in their area in stead of letting the marginalized people use their own voice to describe themselves.
-
I'm sorry, I don't understand your comment.
-
It's not, though. You're admitting to disliking groups of people based on them exercising their religious freedom. These are people who have dealt with a long history of oppression and hate, even up to de-ath in order to defend those rights. It's not funny, it's not silly, it's not an overreaction to take this seriously.…
-
So here's the heart of the issue. You dislike freedom of religion. I would encourage you to research how much freedom groups like this have won for others (even those they disagree with) by defending their own right to exist. I would also encourage you to educate yourself on the oppression they have faced all over the…

The criteria are, a great place to: - be social - exercise - explore You have not convinced us, the experienced Wayfinders, that this sign meets any of those criteria. If you want to let people know about the volunteer organization, then nominate their headquarters. A random sign with the name of the organization on it,…

Again, I don't see anything wrong with the member of a church writing a description that explains their faith. I see no humor in this situation. I think people have the right to determine how they are represented and I find it borderline offensive that anyone (not you) would argue that they don't have that right.
-
There's another solution for that.

No, I don't find the bullying of, or making fun of, religious people to be funny. Not in the slightest. I don't know what those route rules have to do with this conversation. We are talking about descriptions on POI, not on routes. Routes and Wayfarer do not share the same rules, and shouldn't since many people who are…
-
To be honest, your reaction to this makes me want to report you. I am really disappointed by the anti-religion talk I've observed in this thread. That description is not "advertising." It is a description of their faith. It is a completely appropriate description.

I would accept a rock formation on a trail that serves as a significant marker. Does it show up on a trail map? Does it have a local name or story that goes along with it? Is there lore around the rock? If any of these things are true, there is more than likely going to be mention of it somewhere on the internet that can…

We are trying something - not sure it will work, but we are attempting to address translation issues. And when I say "we", I mean that the ambos are serving as advisors on this. We can't make any real implementation changes. If we can find solutions that are easy to implement, we recommend those and how they can bring…

We've been playing around in a test environment for a few days on the new forum platform. It is different, but you'll get the hang of it. My biggest advice is to engage with the automated onboarding. It will walk you through some pretty basic things that are not terribly obvious but that really help you get oriented to the…

I think you have lofty ideas for how communication wholistically should work between Niantic and the community. Let me bring you back down to earth by asking if you think Vanilla (the host of these forums) was the reason Niantic doesn't have good communication? Because that's primarily what is changing. We are going from…

A wider picture of a rock is still a picture of a rock. Rocks typically aren't eligible.
-
What kinds of changes would you like to see as "improvements?" I'm not making any promises those can happen, but I'm curious what you want.

Parking spaces are private property. They can absolutely ask you to leave and involve the police to trespass you off the property if you refuse to comply. But why let it proceed to that? There's a first time for everything. But now that these raiders know the property owner is concerned about their parking spaces being…
-
Yes, I find often find that waving, and saying something like, "I just stopped to use my phone, I'll be gone in a second" helps assuage people's suspicions. I mean, they don't want you to use your phone while driving - so that means having to pull over at safe places to attend to things, right? As long as you don't have…
-
I see nothing wrong with that title and description. I don't think it is an absolute rule that every wayspot title must be unique. I understand that we want them to be unique and we are told that it's best practice for them to be unique. But if you look at Niantic's own practice with sponsored POI (I'm only familiar with…

LDS is the right acronym. They mostly don't like the word Mormon. LDS stands for Later Day Saints, which is how they refer to themselves.

Again, this is not a Wayfarer issue. This is a Pokemon GO issue.
-
This is not a Wayfarer issue. This is a game decision by PoKemon GO. No one here can make this change.
-
Tell that to my neighbors who have bothered me multiple times for being in a legal parking space (sometimes in front of my unit, sometimes 3 buildings down) while sitting in my car to do a raid at a gym that is on shared land in our multifamily development. A couple of times, I was sitting in my car listening to music and…

Please tell me which criteria these meet: -socialize -exercise -explore

We can't really say if we're having the same problem without seeing examples of what you're nominating and what rejection reasons each one has.
-
The situation you described is unfortunately a common one when there's only one person submitting and reviewing in an area. It's something we have discussed with Niantic. I have no idea where it is on their priority list to address.
-
"Using inside access" is pure speculation. If there is a pattern of something weird going on, then I would recommend someone looking into it. But for one single POI? No, that doesn't need an investigation.
-
You may be getting edits because there are no other nominations to review.
-
I don't know and to be honest, this isn't really something we need to chase down to fix. I know it might seem like an issue for you, but in the grand scheme of things the Wayfarer team needs to focus on bigger problems.
