Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
I really hope to learn to communicate better. Everything about what makes a marker a great wayspot is in this trail. My brains get stuck on the comment about generic/mass produced. The trail is 340KM so along this route ofcourse their will be more of these markers. But it is only this trail where the markers look like this… -
Trailmarkers - warning received
Hi, I’m getting more and more confused about trailmarkers and when they are (not) eligible. Based on what I was understanding for when something is eligible I nominated a trailmarker last year(august 2023). It got rejected by the community, but after appeal it was approved. I nominated another trail marker, and the same… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
If I nominate a section of trail how does whether the marker used as the placeholder has the trail name on it or not have any impact on whether the trail is a great place to exercise or explore? Is a path down the side of a a bit of waste ground eligible if it has a name on the trail marker but a path through an area of… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
I agree. Trail markers promote exercise and exploration and even socialization. I would bet that most trail markers are not super unique and just have a number/arrow/colored stripe, etc. The trail markers I see in my areas are only arrows either be in the form of a colored sticker or the plastic arrows nailed to wooden… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
This thread has been quite elucidative on how Niantic works. Not only do they champion awful emails that help nobody and just scare users while raising more questions than they answer, but they even contradict themselves on Wayfarer specifics. Aaron's comment basically turns marker eligibility into an aesthetic evaluation,… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
I think Aaron's statement still leaves wriggle room for "use your best judgement". At my local, as previously posted, people are passing off stencils on the footpath and ordinary street signs are trail markers, so I can sort of see where Niantic is coming from with some quite stringent guidelines especially after the… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
They then still don’t care I think. The marker they removed has an logo from the trail on it, so it is unique, only used for this trail. I provided a link to the website with the nomination were there is a lot more information about the trail (why is it made, who made it, what you will see during the trail, and for every… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
This is by far the worst comment ever made by someone of the Wayfarer team. There isn't even any competition. How can anyone ever take anything you say seriously after this? You don't understand that there is more than one eligibility criterion. Not everything must be a great place to explore. It doesn't matter what the… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
@Spekkje-PGO Communications across Niantic are notoriously not great. I would like there to be very clear wording to ensure no confusion between the “so called education “ email and the first step on the abuse ladder. Wayfinders shouldn’t be left in any doubt, which is not happening with the current set up. The email you… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
Is the second trail marker still in the game? If it’s not it might be possible someone reported it as ineligible and got it removed resulting in you getting the email. That’s always possible, even if Niantic themselves approved the stop. Anyway, these mixed messages from Niantic are always confusing. Perhaps one of the…
