• Scout Huts should be classed as K-12 locations, so not eligible.

  in Restoration request - Bracken Ridge Scout Group Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• Don't bother.

  in Should I try resubmitting this or should I not bother? Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• Not really, but once they are in they are almost mpossible to get rid of. Regarding Waypoints, this is the "elephant in the room" Niantic refuse to acknowledge - cheating pays off for abusive nominators.

  in Do you think this should've been accepted? Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• As long as employees and authorised visitors to the car factory can access the Waypoint, Niantic consider this acceptable. "Public access" does not mean that everybody has to have access - Waypoints on restricted access sites like this are very common. This does not meet Niantic removal criteria and is ant an abusive…

  in Invalid Wayspot masjid AL-NUR Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• We need the coordinates to find it, not a photo.

  in Pokestop doesnt appear because a reviewer moved it to the wrong place Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• As submitted - this is a generic road sign and should not be accepted. You need to find a sign with some details about the historical interest of the site so reviewers can see "real" details about the historical interest of the site. (Yes - you do have details on a website, but what there is does not "link" to this road…

  in Rejection improvement Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• Just because a location is "fully acessible" does not automatically mean a nomination should be accepted. This looks like an "everyday" chinese restarant. What makes this worthy of being a Waypoint? How does it meet any Niantic criteria? Does it have any awards? Restarants are very difficult to get accepted anywhere, you…

  in 3rd bot wave or simply the most stupid reviewers? ... and a still not fixxed issue .... Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• Don't bother adding comments - these are never passed on to the people nominating a Waypoint.

  in Little Free Library Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• I'd say the second sign would be eligible, the first not.

  in Wilderness Campsite Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• No.

  in Mural in a Smoke/Vape shop Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• You wait a day or so, clear cache and log in with the proper e-mail - it should have cleared by then.

  in "Account doesn't exist" Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• Simple. It is an advert for a boatyard - it is not eligible as it meets none of the Niantic criteria.

  in Having trouble getting a local business accepted Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• Niantic have a problem in that the removal criteria are different from the acceptance criteria, and removal criteria are very specific and limited. This actually benefits all the cheats, spoofers and multi account players who submit ineligible waypoints - if one of them does get accepted then it is very very difficult to…

  in Reporting Wayspots that should not have been approved Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• Lets see some of your nominations (both photos, location and text) and see if we can see any reason.

  in Improper use Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• Report the removed / deleted Waypoints as Invalid Portals. If they are removed then any Waypoints supressed on PoGo should appear.

  in Effects of removing invalid Pokestop in PokemonGo & replacing with valid Wayspot for that cell Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• We need to see all of the nomination photos and text to be able to comment.

  in Why This wayfare is not accepted: “monumento al barrio” in santander, Spain. Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• Unfortunately, there is nothing eligible to be a Waypoint in any of your photos.

  in Would love some opinions on my rejection Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• So catch a bus. Just because you personally cannot get to the Waypoints is no reason for their removal. Perhaps some of the Police play. Only when they are removed can you then report them as invalid.

  in Two Inaccessible Pokestops Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• Have you actually ready the Niantic criteria before you submitted this?

  in insight to why this was rejected.... Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• I suspect the current focus of Niantic senior managment is Lightship. They are pushing this as a "ready made" base for developers of AR games and are looking to monetise this as a key product (the likes of which has been provided mostly by people like you and me). Waypoint quality is getting less important. PoGo is the…

  in NianticDanbocat let go? Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• "Hey - do you want to go out and see that new buried gas pipline marker?" - A great place for exploration - No. "Hey, you want to go down to the gas pipeline marker and do some reps?" - A great place for exercise - No. "Hey, you going to hang out down at the gas pipeline marker tonight?" - A great place to be social with…

  in one of my recent nominations rejected for "obstructing emergency services" and "location inapropriat Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• A classic "no pedestrian access" nomination, it's on the middle of a roundabout.

  in Tag next to a submission inside a roundabout Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• If Playgrounds end up getting refused because all of the various bits of playground equipment are "mass produced", what's that going to do to all the nominations for the "identical, mass produced trail markers" that appear every 50m down some trails........

  in Things and places sometimes being too common/mass-produced to get accepted Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• Your rating has dropped because you have rejected a "sure fire nomination" that Niantic have said should be accepted, which means most reviewers should be accepting it "automatically" - you are not "agreeing" with the reviewing community so you get a downcheck. Do as you first did, move the pin and then accept - this is…

  in My rating drops when I reject inaccessible athletic field locations Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• What's special about this cafe? Has it won any awards etc etc etc. Same argument as all the other cafe / restaurant threads. What justifues this being a Waypoint more than any of the other 100s of local cafes.

  in Multiple rejections for differing reasons for a cafe surrounded by other POIs. Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022

Hosette-INGAug 25, 2021 @NianticGiffard So, to clarify, the creator of art is a third-party source? Would this also extend to text that is written on the submission itself? If the artist had…

  in Issue with submission submitted at a later time and place Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• Yes. The only Mods on this forum are Niantic Staff .

  in How many moderators are there for these forums right now? Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• No reason why it should not appear. It can take up to 48 hours for a new Waypoint to go live in game.

  in Location edit to a portal that is not seen on Ingress map due the other portal too close? Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• Your description is a direct bit of "copy / paste" from the "Sake Blue" website. This means your nomination should be rejected for the use of "3rd party text". Write your own description of the Waypoint.

  in Suggestion on Rejection Comment by sogNinjaman-ING July 2022
• Not eligible - 1* - next nomination.
