Update: it was accepted 5 hours ago. Funnily enough it wasn't the appealed version that was accepted, but rather one of my other submission attempts (I've tried submitting the same nomination 4 times overall, all were rejected). So I've still got the rejected appeal on my profile, lol. Thank you all for your support.

IIRC, the Google Form that Niantic had for bad Foursquare imports did have an "generic/uninteresting location" option. But I seriously doubt that form is still active. And as I said at the time, 99.9% of players would absolutely not WANT to report those wayspots. Why would most players want to lose those free…
-
There are a TON of utterly generic business wayspots in Turkiye, ones that got imported from Foursquare. I get photo reviews for them quite frequently.
-
This rejection was just overturned as well. Fingers crossed that kind of rejection won't happen again to anyone...
-
Well, this is awkward. We did bring up the point that only the two appeals in the original post got looked at again... @NianticTintino-ING hate to ping you again, but can you help with this? Seeing as it's the exact same issue.
-
Agreed. A great point was just raised over on the Wayfarer Discord server - SerAmanda and I got these rejections overturned only because we protested them here on the forum. How many wrong rejections were decided on appeals that were made by users who don't know about the forum/aren't interested in posting about it here?…
-
My appeal was just updated as accepted. @NianticTintino-ING my thanks to the team for taking another look at it. Hopefully some steps were taken to ensure that cases like this don't happen again...
-
Thank you Tintino, I'm looking forward to that feedback.
-
You're right, I wasn't sure how to word my post and ended up misrepresenting my intent. This is about Niantic's decisions on these appeals being illogical more than about criteria being unclear.
-
For example, I submitted a spot last week and I wanna check how many votes already registered for it and the average choice. This would help us to understand and even change if somebody refuses something that is actually right to approve. Niantic would never give that information to anyone. That's like an open invitation…

Your advice is excellent, but I'll add a couple of details for the sake of context: I've been Wayfarering (is that a word?) since 2019; I've just hit 600 accepted nominations; I've got over 70k reviews; so I know how Wayfarer works, and I know my local community and its antics. So while your comment is great for newer…

A kitten hater, I see! 😜 I'd love to send Nia the exact details of all of the Inappropriate Location rejections I've received ever since this started (apart from the ones I've already shared here) - just waiting for someone on their side to remember that this thread exists...
-
Still ongoing. More kittens, then?
-
Honest question: isn't that a role that the supporting photo fulfills? The main photo was the best I could take under the circumstances - that is, it's a tourist destination that was completely packed, which was obvious from the supporting photo. I struggled to take a photo that didn't have any recognizable faces in it.…

I must agree re: in game reporting. I've had an overwhelmingly negative experience with it, to the point that I actively avoid it most of the time. Even if I do happen to use it, most of my reports are rejected, only to mostly accepted when I bother to appeal the decision via other methods of reporting. @NianticAaron, if…
-
Hello. Yes. Are more kittens required? I've got more of the good stuff.
-
These rejections are still happening, by the way. Maybe just reporting it in an attempt to finally get an update isn't enough. Maybe I should try something new... ...kittens?
-
Following this bit from the recent Roadmap update... In the coming weeks, you’ll see some exciting changes to the forum, including a new look and feel for the landing page of the forum, improvements and focus on the Bug Reports category to not only ensure we stay on top of new bugs but also to more proactively communicate…
-
I just got another one. Is this still being looked into? @NianticLC @NianticAaron @NianticOren @Nianthib @NianticTintino-ING
-
Just updating that I used this challenge yet again to help out remote locations and it was just as fun this time as last time. I too hope this ability continues in the next challenge.
-
Just got a new one... Any update? @NianticLC @NianticAaron @NianticOren @Nianthib
-
Happened to me as well. In-game reports are janky at best. Take photographic proof (geotagged photo and/or 360 video) and use the Help Chat on the Wayfarer website instead.
-
That's okay, at this point of the thread my posts are directed towards Niantic, not towards the community. Niantic's employees can get the full details directly from my profile - or indeed they can ask for them here, whenever they find the time to update us on their investigation. But in any case, this art is located at…
