Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
As @tehstone-ING said, this is a complete reversal on previous stance on trail markers. Most of us have this clarification from @NianticGiffard saved: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/comment/155876#Comment_155876 a) A marker with the trail name on the trail <- Excellent b) A marker with the trail name… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
Niantic staff (contractors?) were also approving just about anything that was a trail marker at light speed. -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
@NianticAaron - if you're going to reverse the guidance back to needing trail names wouldn't it be both helpful and courteous to the player base to publish this? There has been clear guidance from Niantic that all trailmakers are valid - I quote "we consider any marker on a hiking trail as acceptable since our goal is to… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
Baldersdash. You know what the difference is between Mile Marker 2 and Mile Marker 3 on most trails? A mile of shrubbery. I've never seen a trail marker description telling people to look at nearby features. I've been playing these games longer than you. Don't try to tell me people are doing things I can see they're not… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
Oh! Did you say "Quiz?" I think you mean "New Onboarding," which, coincidentally, includes THIS image of a TRAIL MARKER as a great POI. -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
I thought we moved away from "this is eligible" and "this is not eligible" stances unless it meets the specific rejection criteria, to using our best judgement? This clarification seems to contradict using our best judgement and reverses a long standing consensus of what types of trail markers are worthy of considering as… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
I feel like we're kinda beating a ... horse at this point, but I still want to post this conversation that happened in a discord yesterday when we started talking about this trail marker business. It illustrates how trail markers are used and why they are important to locals in wooded areas. We have a lot of parks that… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
When there is a trail and it has kind of good markers every marker along is valid. I will keep up that interpretation. When they are too close the gamesync algorithm manages that . But for rating it should ve irrelevant -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
My question is are you using "good candidate" and "eligible candidate" interchangeably here? I can understand that a trail marker with just a mile marker and no information in the description about the trail itself may not be a desirable or "good" nomination, but does that mean they are ineligible? Further, is an… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
Putting an informational sign on a trail marker costs money - money that parks and municipalities don't tend to spend on informational signs on trails. Based on Aaron's comment above, I would say there is more nuance to this that you're implying: "The information provided by the submitter also plays a role. We would also…
