Re: Double edged Sword
This is because private property (such as that belonging to a business) is not the same as private residential property (a house where a person or family lives). When it comes to private residential property, nominations are meant to be rejected and can be removed if they shouldn't have been accepted. When it comes to… -
Re: Legitimate Wayspot Removed
I would agree that this portal has been removed incorrectly, and should be reinstated. It is also likely that this valid portal has been reported and removed in order to target a specific player who uses that portal on a frequent basis to field from. The building is a beautiful historic Grade II listed building that is a… -
Re: Too many POIs & nominations appearing at schools
There's nothing in the guidelines saying that POI shouldn't be accessible from schools. They cannot be on schools, and it's very different (80m of difference in PGO). The argument that it can disturb the classes can be quickly extrapolated to a lot of stuff: Near churches? It can disturb their services. People that should… -
Snack Shack not accepted

I have submitted a snack shack twice, the first time my picture was too far away, so I resubmitted with a perfect picture, it was nice out, framed it perfect, it's fully accessible and it was just declined by Niantic with no freaking explanation. I have a 5 mile loop I walk right now and I can hit ONE stop right now. Just… -

Re: What is your opinion about coin operated crane games in public areas?
Only coin-operated play areas are eligible because they fall under the playground critiera. This does not apply to individual coin-operated rides or to other coin-operated machines, such as vending machines, games, etc. If you need to make a "six degrees of separation" style argument to justify something as eligible, then… -
Re: Is it always the same message for appeals?
My question is: Why does no one read the message of the outcome of the appeal? Glossing over this...Into "Acceptance Criteria", there is: "Must be a permanent physical, tangible, and identifiable object" Is this object permanent physical? Yes Is this object place? Yes Is this identifiable object? Yes "Must be safe and… -
Re: Third party text
Instead of copying from Wikipedia. People should be using the support information with a link to the site. This is allowed by Nianticcasey and was updated in the January 2020 update. I suggest maybe reading some of the new updates for information and learning what has changed. Supporting descriptions Utilize the supporting… -
Re: Are murals on the walls/fences of private residential properties allowed?
@NianticGiffard has already answered this question. In particular: Any object on the property of private residential property is ineligible. As long as it is on the property of private residential property even if accessible from a sidewalk nearby, it should be rejected. And before anyone says this is a random forum post.…
