@NianticLC , could you please take a look a this again. It looks like OP got this one removed through other means dispite it not meeting removal criteria.
-
The list should just be a list of all the rejection criteria. That should cover everything and we wouldn't need to be able to add options. The review page should just have to go over all the criteria (eligibility, acceptance, rejection), and we shouldn't need a list. "Mass Produced Item" would be a terrible addition to the…

It was a tweet claiming Niantic did that? I believe they may be lying to influence people, but Niantic can make mistakes. In any case, K-12 does not apply to that restaurant.
-
Where did you see that report? As long as the restaurant is unrelated to the daycare and also serves adults, it should not be considered K-12. If it is more like a cantina to the daycare, and adults unrelated to the daycare can't go there to eat, then it is considered K-12.

A wayspot only needs to meet 1 of the 3 eligibility criteria. It doesn't need to be a great place to meet (or to be social). It is a great place to exercise, and that is enough. You must also keep in mind that it is not always the object in the photo that is nominated. Sometimes it is an object that is used as an anchor…
-
I'm not familiar with the NCN so I'm not entirely sure of it's purpose. But the knooppunt signs in Belgium and The Netherlands are all about exercise, so I would approve them wherever they are, as long as they don't meet rejection criteria.
-
The network carries on through suburbs, roads etc with the same sign but I'd be a lot less inclined to accept those. Why? They are an equally great place to exercise there as they are in other locations. Not everything must meet exploration criteria.
-
Not exciting to you perhaps. Maybe you are not the target audience. But for people who use the trail for exercise they are. And exercise is one of the three eligibility criteria.
-
I doesn't matter that the sign doesn't look appealing. The sign is just a placemarker for that section of the trail. It is a trail marker for a cycling trail. That makes it a great place to exercise. From the criteria: A great place for exercise A place you'd go to get some fresh air, stretch your legs, or exercise. Places…
-
As a big fan of all kinds of trail markers, and being unfamiliar with American signage, non of these signs appear to be trail markers or meeting any eligibility criteria to me.
-
With that formula I fall just in troll territory. I believe in my case, it is because I usually react to controversial topics where the community disagrees with Niantic. Even if I support what I say with plenty of links, I still manage to get a lot of disagrees. Am I the troll, or the people who disagree with me?
-
Your way of saying that playground equipment on the grounds of an elementary school or a soccer field on the grounds of a high school qualifies. That is not what I said. Do you really not see the difference or are you just trolling now?
-
The map you included in your appeal has the area the church is located in marked as "Preschool site". This implies the church is part of the school, not the other way around. That the church is mostly used by the school, not by the community. If that is not the case, then you misdirected NianticVK into taking the wrong…
-
It is only relevant whether the object you are nominating is K-12 itself, of located inside a K-12 area. If the object itself contains a K-12 area, but isn't K-12 itself, it shouldn't be rejected for K-12. It doesn't matter that the entrance is shared. If the entrance is shared, it is not part of the K-12 area. It doesn't…
-
For those who don't understand this decision, let me explain. The wayspot is the entire building. The daycare is only part of the building. Therefor K-12 does not apply for the building. There are non-K-12 parts of the building. It doesn't matter that a wayspot contains a K-12 area, as long as it also has a non-K-12 area,…

An abuser is someone who willfully ignores the criteria. The screenshots in the OP make it clear that chain business locations can be approved if they meet eligibility criteria. Since you outright reject all chain business locations, the only abuser in this thread appears to be you. To answer the original question: it…
-
From the content guidelines: Wayspots within Large Areas Wayspots within large areas like parks, plazas, and fields are eligible as well, even if the larger area itself is a Wayspot. The sign is not a placemark for the playground, but for an exercise station. It is a separate entity that is eligible on it's own. Niantic…
-
It's instructions on what exercises you can do on this station. Exercise trail Start with a warming-up. Choose what you want to train: lower body, upper body or entire body. Choose the level. Starting sporter: 8 repeats per exercise, advanced 12, top athlete 15. Follow the exercise trail using the markings on the…
-
With the evidence you provided, it is clearly not a fake wayspot. It is just in the wrong location. It is also not "part of the playground", it is only located inside the playground. It is part of an exercise course that uses playgrounds as their stop locations. More info can be found here:…
-
Sure there are people who don't care about the exercise aspect, just as there are people who don't care about the social aspect. That doesn't make my statement wrong. What amazes me is that you people don't even understand the difference between exploration and exercise. If I walk a km in a park with 20 wayspots, or I walk…
-
Why didn't my stop appear?" That is a nominator question, not a reviewer question.
-
I don't think so. Looking at this forum, I believe both games are equally represented among reviewers. There are way more players and nominators on the Pokémon Go side, but not among reviewers. The reason for this may be that Ingress caters more to exploration, and Pokémon Go caters more to exercise and being social.…

I've seen as much as 5.
-
If we could still see who liked our posts, I would have liked your post, but since we can't, I'm just going to say I agree.
-
Oh I agree. I never said this nomination is a great wayspot. We don't know what the supporting info is, so we can't make a proper judgement. My only points are that most arguments made against it are irrelevant, and that reviewers should look at these kinds of nominations with an open mind.
-
Most of the time I see people go on about "the quality of wayspots", I see it used as an excuse to reject perfectly fine candidates. Just look at this very thread. I made some posts earlier debunking claims made by people who care about "the quality of wayspots", with links to the criteria, help section and clarifications…
-
Are you suggesting we should reject good nominations because otherwise similar but bad nominations will get accepted as well?
-
What they are saying is that if we don't reject business locations, businesses will notice and will choose to nominate themselves instead of paying for sponsorships. This will result in a loss of profit for Niantic, and they will compensate by increasing the price of raid passes. As posted earlier in this thread, Niantic…
-
Contrary to popular believe, the fact that something belongs to a chain is irrelevant. However, that does not mean that chain locations are great wayspots. Starbucks are often wayspots because they have a sponsorship deal with Niantic. You shouldn't look at what is in the game to understand what is eligible. A wayspot must…
-
Where does it say the chain nature of a business is relevant? The text "A generic business, chain, or franchise that is not locally unique" is the only place that talks about chain locations. And that text is being removed from places, probably because it confuses people. It is no longer found here:…
