  • There really is no point in discussing this issue with you further as you're either intentionally being obtuse or clearly lack the ability to read and understand the guidlines we are given to follow. The link yourself provided gave reasons for this bridge to be rejected yet you have just chosen to ignore what is written.
  • You don't seem to understand There is nothing at all, churches, trail markers, statues etc, that must be accepted. What must happen is that each individual submission is reviewed on its own merit, Nothing submitted, and I mean absolutely nothing submitted ever, is a must accept.
  • You dont see any reason for rejection? The fact its a generic mass produced piece of infrastructure never occured to you then? You say you follow the criteria, yet you clearly don't, you claim a generic bridge can be used for exercise, yet as I stated above so could any generic public path and that doesn't make them valid.…
  • A bridge is place to have exercise is your reason for acceptance ? Every footpath on the planet can be used for exercise and walking, that doesnt make them valid. A generic bridge is NOT a valid POI just as a generic footpath is NOT valid. Thw submission above does not look like a trail, it looks like generic bridge on a…
  • @gazzas89-PGO , what @Kellerrys-ING has said is totally correct. Paying to access a hotel doesn't change it from being a business to being PRP. I fail to see how you can even consider that as being possible
  • The submission as it is is borderline at best. The main picture isn't great, passable but doesnt do much to sell the POI You haven't included the description so I can't comment on that The support statement says great place but without any proof or evidence. The onus is on the submitter to provide all the necessary…
  • Youve misunderstood People are constantly incorrectly claiming, without proof, that Niantic have said anything on the sidewalk outside a PRP is invalid. On the PRP and boundary wall / fence etc then yes invalid, but NOT if its on the sidewalk outside a PRP
  • Is it the start of trail ? If its the start then yes as its start if an exercise / adventure route and I'd accept that. If its part way along the trail then no as its not designed for walking along and clearly says no safe pedestrian access
  • There is no instant 1* generic business anymore, it all depends on the individual business and the submission information provided. Are the individual places important to the local community, are they a hub for local events, do they provide tours etc etc etc.
  • For the clubhouse as its new you would need to include links in the support statement to any offical website confirming its real and there. I'm assuming that reviewers did what I did and did a quick google search for it and came up with no results for it just future planning notes and developers intentions, nothing to say…
  • Low quality photo is also used where the POI is barely visable, in the first picture the bridge, which im assuming is the submission, is less than 10% of the entire picture, it barely shows the POI and is a low quality photo. The second is a better picture and personally I wouldn't mark that as low quality, but again the…
  • If an area had POI's removed before which have subsequently been resubmitted you can't put a request in to have the same area cleared again. The only thing you as a player can do is report invalid POI's through the in game options, if they meet one of the invalid criteria. You as a player can not request POI's are removed…
  • LFL's are specifically listed as an acceptance if on a public space. There is no 50m reject rule, the guidelines say "Please be sure to closely review nominations whose real-world location appears to be within 40 meters of private, single-family residential property, and nominations whose real-world location appears to be…
  • Niantics view has always been if a building, in this case a church, is being used as pre school or daycare facility then its to be rejected. The fact that usually churches are a rock solid candidate doesn't matter, if a candidate meets rejection criteria then that supersedes any eligibility for that submission
  • Personally my feelings on memorials of this sort are very split, and the location is a factor in my thinking. If the memorial was at say in the grounds of a Hospital, I would reject it, however if it was in the grounds of a church I may decide to accept it. I understand that may not make much sense, but my view is that the…
  • You can't think of it as a learning experience for the future
  • Thanks to @LukeAllStars-PGO I could view the picture, however I can't see what criteria it meets at all. Looks like instant 1* pointless submission to me
  • I can't get that link too load not sure if anybody else can view it, any chance you can add pictures of the submission ?
  • Reject with other rejection reason, or 1* abuse as they are clearly lying in the support statement. Just reject and move on to the next
  • You may well be happy with 6 portals and be able to play fine, but I most certainly wouldn't. What works for you in Ingress is totally not sustainable for me, your cubes, xmps etc wouldn't last me more than a week or two max , if I only had 6 portals I'd be out of gear and stuffed. On the other hand I have pokeballs that i…
  • The current grading system works well for the majority of cases, if it didn't it would have been cancelled when it was OPR and would never have been rolled out to Pogo players when it became Wayfarer. Undoubtedly there will be a % that are incorrectly rejected but that is going to be the minority not the majority. To say…
  • No idea who they are and the names don't mean anything to me. Would all depend on the write up you did for them, how old, how important etc. Gravestones are not a one answer fits all candidate
  • If the fountain is a focal point and something special visually you may be able to get that through, as to the rest highly doubtful
  • No I didn't, you statement says that mass produced objects can fulfill other criteria. That is totally false. There are only specific exceptions where that is allowed and they are listed. There are individual exceptions, thats it, otherwise all mass produced objects are to be rejected. By not stating that there are…
  • And they are still on the new criteria page, so your comment was meant to add what exactly?
  • Please point out where I have ever said trail markers are unacceptable, im prepared to wait. Heres a top tip, it will take you a very very long time since I never said it. What I have taken issue with was the instance that generic mass produced objects can fulfill other criteria, which is clearly not the case
  • Is there where you want me to say that trail markers are on there , so you can go, well they are massed produced ner ner, or some similar effect ? Lets return to your original comment which was "Mass- produced and generic objects can fill other eligibility criteria. In those cases "Does not meet eligibility criteria" is…
  • Niantic themselves have always said that mass produced generic objects are to be rejected. They then had a list of exceptions, gazebos, playground equipment etc. If there is something with a specific exception then that is acceptable, if there isn't an exception then its an instant 1* rejection as trash
  • The page is divided into sections of what the rejection criteria are and then has an breakdown of what is not acceptable. Under the does not meet eligiblity criteria it says "Does not seem to be a great place of exploration, place for exercise, or place to be social. The object is mass-produced, generic, or not visually…
