People think they are clever. They are not.

I think that's temporary. That address is for some kind of stadium. The way that thing is sitting on the ground with only wheel blocks, makes it look like it's not permanently secured. There are some permanent displays of decommissioned aircraft and tanks near me and they're all very well secured to the ground.
-
To be honest, at this point I am more than comfortable saying that Niantic reviewers don't know the criteria and should not be considered experts. Do anything you can to keep them from reviewing your nominations.
-
I want to disagree with anyone who thinks these types of signs are not eligible. I think they meet the explore criteria. My concern about this one is whether or not it has safe pedestrian access, but that can't be definitively determined from the one photo. As for why I think this meets the explore criteria, I never…
-
I would not mention anything about needing to pay money to belong to the association to use the pavilion. Just nominate it as a great place to be social because it allows for gatherings yadda, yadda, yadda. I think any of the photos that show the pavilion are fine. You may want to be further back for the 2nd one so people…

My advice on the bench is that you say it will draw attention to this lady's story, but how? How would someone playing a Niantic mobile game learn this woman's story? Is there a plaque nearby that tells the whole story? If you know her personal story, why don't you write it in the description? Otherwise, it's just a…

I have been sensored! Please, apologies to overlords.

My friend and I like to look at butterflies together while being humans. Humans like butterflies. Butter flies when humans throw it across the room. It lands with a thud on the floor. It leaves a sticky spot for tiny human house dwellers to walk through. Long haired canine companions to humans **** the butter off the floor.

TBH, I don't care what they write if I can determine on my own that it's eligible. I'm not interested in punishing people who probably don't know any better. I think Niantic is mostly at fault for leaving the wording in the games that you're nominating a pokestop or a portal. If it NOT obvious that it's an eligible POI,…

I agree. This nitpicking is ridiculous. "Make it good, but not TOO good." I wouldn't write it *exactly* the way the OP did, but I certainly wouldn't reject it for this description. Though, I'm not sure this description is enough to make me think a nail salon is a great place to socialize. When it comes down to it, most…

What are you talking about? None of that matters.
-
You joke, but I carry a set of bocce balls in my trunk in case I need to show off a bocce pit better than a nekkid photo will do.
-
I legitimately understand that. I have my own issues with contradictory actions I'm witnessing from Niantic. But perhaps the difference is the way I view my participation in reviewing (including in Challenges). I don't believe I'm doing the work "for Niantic" or to "support Niantic." I review to support other games…
-
It feels like it was both aimed at me and overly critical of the advice I went out of my way to give someone. It felt like you reduced a lot of hard work down to one word, restrooms, and made my entire post invalid because I overlooked editing a list of "features" from an official city park. A more respectful way to…
-
How are those two things related? Why should the players in Japan be punished because Niantic made a decision you don't like? How does the import of Wayspots in India impact your daily life?
-
There's also a crude drawing on top of the graffiti, which is always going to be the problem when you nominate street art that no one officially maintains.
-
If that's the thing you focus on after all the work I put into finding stuff for a complete stranger ... that just makes me sad. I copied the full list of features from the park website after having found the website and providing the link.
-
I think it's time to close this thread. This has nothing to do with Wayfarer. We're all being polite because this is from a kid, but nothing will come from this being posted here. This is not a way to communicate directly with Niantic. And many of these suggestions would **** their games off.
-
Brookline and Harry Downs look like they have not been added to the game. I'm shocked no one has added them since 2020, but you're good there. If this map shows Brookline Playground at 1, then I think you can also add the pavilion at 2 There's also stuff still in the park you can add:…

Just, please, not near Battersea. No battering, please.
-
Niantic's mission is to get people to go outside, but also "Be less natury."
-
This is really great work. And a great showcase of that work. But just so others don't get jealous or feel badly about their impact on the map, I think part of this success is due to rural priority / low density queueing within the system. In suburbs near major metropolitan areas, nominations simple don't clear fast enough…
-
@NianticLC If you won't remove the images taken from a Third Party source, does that mean we should start using Third Party photos in our submissions and feel free to accept any we review that use Third Party photos? That would make the process a lot easier and make it go faster. A change in the rules like this should be…
-
I'm sharing this one I saw recently because I like the framing of the post in the photos. I don't love that we can't tell which post this is because it doesn't have a mile marker number on it, so don't get hung up on that. I don't know for certain, but I think the big issue is the contrast of something colorful against the…
-
Honestly, the dog should not be in any of the photos. That can easily be a way to signal to your local voters that this is from you, please accept it as is.
-
I don't think I'd bother with this one. The document doesn't say that it's now a police training facility. So you'd have to supply 2 sources but reviewers aren't going to click on both. Plus, as a reviewer. I'd hesitate to accept a police training facility. I have no idea what that entails. Are they running drills to know…
-
Anyone who needs to step away from Wayfarer to take a break is encouraged to do so. Yes, the process works better when more people are engaged. However, no one should be involved with a system or a company that they think is causing them harm, lying to, or laughing at them. Before I became an Ambassador, my favorite phrase…
-
I work in process improvement, so I promise you that I'm trying to keep the focus on fixing the whole system, while using real examples to illustrate the impact of the problems. Annnnnnnd now you've got me itching to do a fishbone diagram on this whole mess.
-
What I'd suggest is to realize that you're not in our position so you don't know what has pushed any of us to the point of saying what we have. I'd also ask you to recall that everyone here is communicating in English, but not everyone has English as their first language. People come from a variety of cultures, even if…
