@Unicornsrule107-PGO The "Location Inappropriate" rejection reason is intended to be used for nominations located in adult-oriented location such as gun ranges, str*p clubs, or liquor stores. The more accurate rejection reason for this nomination is "Other Rejection Reason," as it simply does not meet any of the acceptance…

I agree with the above in that the first nomination shouldn't have been accepted. The third nomination looks like it would also fall under the "vandalism" category and wouldn't be acceptable, either. The second one (football mural?) looks a lot better and more professionally done. Would need to see more details of the…

If it's an actual place to play, then it could be eligible. If it's just a place to store toys (you get them out and then the kids play with them elsewhere), then it doesn't sound like it meets any of the acceptance criteria. Likewise, if it has a button that turns on the water to an attraction somewhere else, the other…

Edit agreements count toward upgrades. However, there is no number on the Wayfarer website displaying your edit agreements (unless you're using a third-party extension). My in-game badge is currently very close to (within 5 of) the number of agreements I've gotten for upgrade purposes [100 * (upgrades redeemed - event…

I think you're just seeing one of the "design choices" that was made in Pokémon GO (I find it mildly annoying as well). Even though the full-resolution photo is available in the database, the game designers choose to use lower-resolution photos (probably to save bandwidth) and then stretch them to fill up the screen or…

The Pokémon GO badge also includes edit agreements, which are not listed on the Wayfarer website.

Forgot to attach the screenshot in the last post (and don't want to send my previous post into moderation by editing it).

The only location-related issue I can see is that the entrance is blurred out in one particular view (screenshot attached below). But the rest of the Street Views and the satellite view are perfectly fine and support the location you posted. It's certainly possible that some reviewers saw this blurred photo as the default…

I would regard the entire property as an adult-oriented location, but that's just me. Anyway, I will try not to continue to make this a discussion since I know you're really just trying to get clarification from Niantic. 🙂
-
The removal reason is not strictly about safety. It is about being an "adult-oriented location."
-
Agreed. Coordinates of the nomination and a screensh*t of the location of the pin where it was nominated would help, as would the exact rejection criteria that show up in Wayfarer.

I was reluctant to bring up hookah lounges and cigar bars since they're kind of getting off topic. But I (again from my U.S.-centric perspective) would personally consider them to be adult-oriented for two reasons: 1. They are likely to have age restrictions in place for their full hours of operation, unlike most bars. 2.…

I'm not VK, but as the person who submitted the request, I would point out 2 things: 1. The wayspot was a wayspot for the gun/archery club, not for an unrelated object that happened to be near the club. Therefore, the nomination itself represented the adult-oriented location. 2. This was most likely not considered, but all…

Based on the Ingress Intel Map, it appears that this is, in fact, the current primary photo for "Reciprocal Skate Shop." So it seems the reviewers complied with your request (by marking it as a duplicate of the skate shop). Having said that, it was not a correct call by the reviewers. If the Skate Shop is no longer there,…

I'm having trouble seeing the train of thought here. At least from the U.S. perspective: a vape shop and a liquor store both sell age-restricted products, and the vape shop is probably completely dedicated to the sale of those and related products (unlike a liquor store, which often sells many other products). The liquor…

Indeed. This is a case where the guidelines provided by Niantic are terribly misleading. @SocksWithCr0cs-PGO what others are saying here is correct. If the name is directly related to the submission, it's acceptable. What Niantic is trying to say in those guidelines is to reject submissions whose text includes names that…
-
If you have an actual reason to doubt the location is correct, then you are free to rate accordingly. If you have experience with trail markers being misplaced in a particular forest, then that could be a reason for a lower rating. But a 1* on location accuracy is likely close to as much a rejection as a 1* overall. Many…
-
If the object is likely to be at the designated location, such as in the trail marker in a forest location, reviewing guidelines are to give it a 3-star rating.
-
Are you asking if it's allowable under current guidelines? If so, that's a clear "no." The current guidelines do not allow photos that have been "obviously doctored," which would include editing multiple photos together. If you're asking if it would make sense to change the guidelines to allow that, my first instinct is…

I would think the solution to this would be to hire more people and give them more resources rather than firing someone whose job description wasn't even directly related to maintaining the database... but then we have to remember what company we're dealing with, I suppose.
-
I know you know this is a false comparison. The sideline of a football pitch is part of the pitch. The shore of a pond is not part of the sprayer fountain in the middle of the pond.
-
Given what I see in the photosphere, I would absolutely say either nominate the sign or make your main photo of both the sign and the rock. Either way will demonstrate that the site is real, is of historical interest, and is expected to be visited by the public. I think the nomination's chance of success will be very high…

"Influencing reviewers" is meant to mean "influencing reviewers in an attempt to get them to vote against the criteria." Simply giving the reviewers accurate information about how your nomination meets the acceptance criteria and/or doesn't meet the rejection criteria isn't just allowed, it's also the entire purpose of the…
