Cool.... a cooldown
So I've been busy lately, haven't reviewed much in the last several weeks, but I submitted a couple of new nominations in the last few days so while I was editing the supporting info figured I would try to add some value to the community and review a handful of submissions. Got through two and BAM!!! 24 hour cooldown.… -

Re: Are biking trail markers allowed? (see images attached)
Please refrain from commenting on topics you do not understand and therefor spreading misinformation. Both of these are trail markers. The top one is for a cycling trail, the bottom one is for a mountainbike trail, so they both represent a great place to exercise. The top one is for a 3.5 km long cycling trail between… -
Nominating AND voting restrictions
As per rules of the game you can't nominate a stop until you are level 38. Now I believe that you should not be able to vote until you are 38 maybe level 30-35. Why?

If the answer to that is no, how can you present it better? This might mean thinking carefully… -
Re: What acceptable nominations do you have difficulty getting approved?
Todays rejection theme... Anything that has the word condo, apartment, or links to a hompage of the building to document that it is NOT PRP gets rejected as PRP. An old brewery turned appartments 50 years ago, a permanent pavillon surrounded by apartment buildings, a fountain in a park close to an apartment building, an… -
Re: Why a star based rating system?
To Niantic, "visually unique" means that if you're standing at the location, you can look around and easily distinguish it from its surroundings. Nothing more, nothing less. But reviewers misinterpret the text to mean, "it's boring, same same same as every other thing of its kind". And so we end up having to submit our…
