Submitting stuff on PRP is a policy violation warranting a threat against one's in-game account? I'm amazed there are any players left in my area, if so! Submitting the occasional thing on PRP could be entirely accidental or the result of poor education. The only logical consequence is that one's submissions are rejected.…

Those are much better angles than what I see in the supporting photos, which was the only information I had at the time. It looks to me like a sign meant to be viewable from cars only, with the information part facing away from the crosswalk running behind. I think that improvements can be made to the description,…

From that angle the pedestrian access looks a bit questionable.

I rechecked and no, I never got a response to this report - but when I look at Intel, it looks like the removal was processed! I don't get out that way too often so without the email response I don't know when this occurred. Nothing in my junk mail, either. Whew! Glad it's gone, anyway. Thanks for checking!
-
The biggest mistake I've made so far is walking past my starting point before remembering to begin the route, and not wanting to turn back, so proceeding to the end point and starting the route from there, getting distracted by a Scarlet Tanager along the way, treading carefully on muddy trails, then getting back to the…

I reported an invalid Wayspot on PRP a month ago, and haven't even gotten the standard rejection email since.
-
I have to agree - there are times I've found something very worthy to submit, but my game won't open because my provider lacks connectivity. Although I'll not likely see any personal benefit from these additions, they may be useful or interesting to others using different carriers. I'll take my photos, mark a map pin, and…

Yep, with the advent of remote raids/invites there was little way to verify that all players were legit - I remember keeping photos of my passport stamps to prove I had legit access to the foreign gyms on my gym medal map. Good times! I really wish there were leaderboards for various stats outside of PvP, but since TL40…

I for one am happy about the de-escalation of the Wayfarer app: I'm not an app dev, so I never downloaded or tried out the original. Since I review excusively on my computer, I don't think this app would be too useful to me anyway. Reviewing on my phone means I don't have one of my other Niantic apps open in the…

So I've only done four routes total. Three were quickly marked as published, and one from the first day remained in review. Today I looked and one of my Published routes was moved to Rejected, and its distance was recalculated to just 400m despite being well over the minimum when I actually walked it. Two other routes…

I agree - without knowing the specific questions asked, or answering anything personal/off-topic/humorous, it feels more like a planned speech than a true AMA. I can never assess the true quality of an answer without knowing the exact question that was asked! I hope there's another Nia post on its way with specific…

Just my opinion, but if I'm out wandering and see a weird thing and feel compelled to research what it is, how it works, when it might have been constructed....well, that seems pretty educational to me! If there's a Wayspot on said weird thing that gives me a startng point for research or some basic information in the…
-
Just wondering - I hit the ground running making several submissions when the feature was brand new, but I haven't followed through. Some of that is busy schedule/health issues, but mostly it's a lack of ROI. With three accepted and one still in review, I'd like to see some sort of result - but when I go back to the start…

I have four routes created - on the Profile page I see two 6/22 badges under Created Routes, both marked as "Under Review" - but when I go into my List I see both those routes in the Published section, with my first and oldest from 6/21 the only one in the "Under Review" section. The information shown when I click on one…

Yeah, no way to earn the premium currency for free in Ingress. Gotta pay £/$ to get it. Yep, I wish that some of the Pokemon Go players who are upset by the price hikes would come over to Ingress and give it a try! But to stay on topic, I'll add that I'm profoundly grateful for the prevailing local mindset at the time when…

As far as I know I've NEVER had an appeal decided in LIFO order: everything from March onward remains untouched, along with one older submission. If I could, I'd slip Niantic a folded note asking "Are you mad at me?" in the hope we could be friends again. :)
-
So I have four routes created, one still under review and the others marked as Published. Before I go out and walk my fifth, I'd love to know if anyone has been able to create more than five: is the limit a daily thing, or maybe linked to approval status - or is five all we get? If we only get to trial a total of five, I'd…

Check the character count in the top right if you made it to the Description field - that tripped me up once with a length restriction because I tend to get wordy.
-
Redacted! I felt my post was too spoiler-y to meet the current beta discussion terms. Nothing to see here, move along. 😎
-
I have the functionality enabled, and have toyed with what I can while working from home - but tonight I'm scheduled to go for a walk in the park with a friend and am so excited to try this out live!
-
It's going on three weeks since I and my grandson both reported a pokestop on PRP, and neither of us have heard a thing. This is indeed a bit delayed from my usual swift-rejection-and-subsequent-successful-appeal cycle!
-
Give it time - you'll be able to appeal another candidate in 30 days after your last appeal. Although I understand how getting one of one's first nominations rejected can be frustrating, don't give up hope! Most of us here have had nominations rejected, but the most experienced are reviewers as well as submitters. It's…

Although I'm sorry you found the responses upsetting, please also realize that this same topic has been discussed many, many times on this Forum already and answered by these experienced Wayfarer users each time. There's a pinned post from Niantic that answers many of your questions, but these members supply additional…

Found it in Sedona, Arizona - right around https://goo.gl/maps/2LvxXR34zThGb2UH9 . I hope it's rectified soon!

Words cannot express how much I adore this statement, which actually proves its point. 😁 My favorite is, of course, a "great" place to explore, exercise, or be social.
-
The thing that worries me about this approach is that I have no idea when my alleged violation occurred: they might have been looking at something from months or years ago when they sent me my "bad wayfarer" letter. How do I know that my actions today won't incur a similar nastygram in the distant future? What is the…

It looks like the previously-accepted flagpole has a nice dedication plaque at its base, which could render the flagpole eligible. Unadorned flagpoles are simple mass-produced items and don't meet eligibility criteria, at least as far as I understand it. That being said, @HankWolfman-PGO is entirely correct in that…

I don't know why Niantic don't have a team to manage things like this. Agreed - Niantic could really use some additional resources in Quality Control and Service Recovery. Small things such as in-game known issue announcements, exit surveys upon account deletion, "we want you back" surveys with in-game rewards for inactive…
