Thanks, good to know. So it's not mentioned in any rules, rather seen as a bug. There were a lot more, and it was enough to take notice. Disagrees are fine, just if a person is hitting Disagree a lot, surely they have an opinion to back up why they are hitting disagree (rather than trying to bait people and putting forth…

Cheers, still interested in knowing where you think "doing what you're doing is not allowed" and what rules were broken. You're not the police of these forums, so can leave that to the actual mods/admins ;)
-
Rules? What rules? Where does it specifically say you can't use a function of the forums? There's the Community Guidelines, but it doesn't say anything about that. How did you know it "would be the perfect way to ... out yourself"? Seem like the intent was to perform harassment, rather than actually having an objective…
-
That's fine. Wouldn't you also be curious if it was a continued targetted thing? Yet never actually speaking to that person or knowing who they are. Seems real fishy.

It's a simple Vanilla Forums link: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/reactions/users/discussion/40151/disagree?DeliveryType=VIEW Just change the ID and whether it's a discussion or comment, can also change the reaction type. eg. like, disagree, etc. I've noticed that person hit disagree on a few of my posts, so…

Hey @Duiomar-PGO, care to share your opinion on the disagreement? Makes it seem like you're supporting such unashamedly fake wayspots.

Sunflower Mural: I assume this is it at -38.299826, 145.168859? The address in the screenshot is way off lol It doesn't look right, way too "perfect", especially the bits where it goes off the edge and continues perfectly. There are no imperfections. The bits at the bottom look like paint has gone down, but then it also…

The survey markers you see everywhere are not eligible/acceptable, the ones on top of mountains and such are. This has always been the case, but people try to manipulate the interpretation to get the generic ones accepted so there are more PokeStops. NianticTintino's post says: Survey markers… of course they came up hehe…

Unfortunately, can't see anything. Too many trees in the way: That Aboriginal Flag one reminded of the ones in Mornington, which were also placed abusively. They do exist though, just near the library, not in the park.

Wow, that is bad editing. The top-left of the fence is so poorly photoshopped. The rest may have been believable without looking at it further. Though it's on the fence of a residential property, so would have been rejected anyway. Below is the most recent photo I can get of that address, the location seems fairly…
-
It's close, but not exactly there. You can see it along with several other murals in the below aerial photograph. It looks like the wayspot "Questioning Life Decisions" takes up its space. The main photo also seems to be taken from here. Though the supporting photo may be taken by the submitter (just guessing based on the…

Was playing NBA All World and came across this gem: Saw a bunch of 7-11's, McDonald's and F45 gyms in-game.Can see the value of having everything be available, but they need to be properly tagged in Niantic's database to be any use, otherwise it's just spam.
-
Cheers, submitted that one when inspecting the area. That was the only thing nominatable, everything else was houses. Have put in an edit for the pin, it'll probably take at least 2 edits to get right. In-game it's just grass, so can only rely on the position when submitting, which appears to be way off lol How the map…

The rejection criteria states "includes people, body parts, or live animals as the subject matter" (as per the example shown on the rejection page). Although there are people in that photo, they are probably not going to be noticed, especially when the image is scaled down in-game - those people are clearly not the subject…
-
Can see in the big photo of the sign the very end of the last "e" in Reserve, and that the name is raised one plank higher than the rest of the fence. It's most likely that the sign and name are next to each other. So yes, incorrect location (by about 40m) for the name. If nearby, best to put in an edit to move it.
-
That's NearMap, which requires a subscription to access. It's great as it allows you to view the map from different angles (north, south, east, west) which is done by alternative photos, plus the best thing is being able to go back on historical imagery and a much higher resolution than Google Maps.

Have seen a couple and they are definitely fake. I know the area too, it's a newly developed area with lots of townhouses. Below are the most recent aerial shots. It does look like there is a gazebo and a potential playground being built in the dirt bit in the middle. Might go have a closer look over the weekend!

To add to the above, HMDB portals show like the below in Ingress: In-game link to the portal:…

An app just sounds like a massive waste of time and resources. The website does everything, it just needs to be updated (properly and regularly): Better design (less clunky, and get rid of the auto-scrolling) Have buttons that work (selecting other criteria on mobile shows nothing) Provide inherent enhancements (like the…

I enjoy nominating much more, the thrill of exploration, going to new towns, finding cool things to submit. Taking a town from zero wayspots to a dozen or more. It's fun! It's an experience that no other game provides. I used to enjoy reviewing too, and would do 100 or 200 a day. For the last few months, I have really…

The above is from the September 2020 AMA, the below is from June 2021. Not sure if anything else has been stated since: Just something to keep in mind.

A lot will depend on what information you provide in the nomination, for example, those dedication plaques could be seen as generic memorial-like plaques, so reviewers aren't seeing why they are significant enough to accept. That entirely depends on what information you provide. Some quick feedback on each nomination:…

It's to show that the @ character is a considered a symbol by Niantic, as such, others (ie. Wayfarers) may see it that way too. Plus with most of the above comments, it adds supporting insight to show that @ is frowned upon in titles - both in a Wayfarer manner and Niantic manner.
-
Nobody has mentioned it yet, but as additional insight. The Mission Creator tool doesn't let you search for portals that have @ in the title. Example Portal: War Memorial @ Downtown Urbana Global search with @: Global search without @:

Some things I think will improve the submission: Take a landscape photo Adjust the description to say why it's notable, say when it was constructed, who was the architect, what significance the university has. At the moment, nothing of value is coming from that description. Get rid of "Academic Building" in the title, it's…

Pink Hair, Don't Care: There's only 1 in the world, adding the suburb would be redundant. Looking at Ingress Intel, it's neutral. Gun Register: 9 appear in the search, but only 1 has that title. Adding the suburb would also be redundant. Food Filled Foreshores: There are 3 in the world, all located around Tuggerah Lake,…

Tried it out and had somewhat similar experiences to the above, though my reception wasn't as bad. Would be good to see a few of the hangs up above be sorted, though I primarily didn't see the Nominations button in the menu a couple of times, but it did pop up after a while. Also was hoping that the image shown would be…

We had a fake here, at first it looked somewhat legit, except for the font, then you realise the text was copy-pasted from Wikipedia, then you notice the bad lighting and weird edges. Plus many knew that a local worked at the location and the plaque had nothing to do with the location. It ended up being a horrible fake…
