Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
Here's how I approach trailmarkers.. Give each one a unique title. Don't just call it the "Such-and-such trail marker" but describe where it is.. for example, south of a wood, near a farm, between two points of interest or in some locality. Having a unique description helps in collaborative play, for example "meet me at… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
But you're not, in fact you're doing the exact opposite. And if you go back to what Aaron's comment was that sparked all of this, being just one of many markers along a trail is only a small part of the statement and arguably not even the most impactful part. He leads with a concrete description of what is and isn't… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
Setting aside the fact that this is once again a stark departure from some of the longest standing criteria/reviewing guidance.... From a safety perspective, if Niantic is using their apps to introduce people to local trails/walking paths, and has already made the promise to document every trail marker on these trails,… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
Depends on the context of the number really. For instance in the city where I live, we have 9 cycling routes - they are called C1 to C9, at most major junctions, there is a big information pillar with map and information, then at smaller junctions along the route, there is normally a simple sign that just says Cnumber and… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
I personally find it difficult to believe that there is a secret cabal of money men at Niantic HQ gleefully rubbing their hands and throwing darts at pictures of Pikachu while John Hanke manically throws gold doubloons at people in the Tenderloin from the window of his Ferrari. Sure they make business decisions that don't… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
(Also tagging @Elijustrying-ING) Are you sure? I replied to the e-mail I received since I still don’t get which investigation they did to make them conclude I’m nominating things that aren’t good. While they don’t answer questions the replied says: “Here is an example of the violation that led to this warning. The… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
I've had a wayspot removed that was within reach of my car parked outside my house that's an orienteering marker on a concreted in post. Niantic personally reinstated this portal last year when a local troll/cheating player removed it personally resulting in Go Orienteering having to replace and cement it in. It makes no… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
After some more thought about this, Aaron’s statement can be read as a paraphrase of Tintino’s previous clarification about their eligibility. The underlying premise of both seems to be asking for more information from the submitter and presenting guidance on how to do that. I.e., trail markers are generic unless you tell… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
I submit markers because they depict sections of a trail. The trail itself is the POI, but since Niantic has this obsession with signs (so much so that signs are what make parks eligible, since as we all know, you can't socialize, explore or exercise in parks that have no signs), we submit the markers rather than images of… -
Re: Trailmarkers - warning received
The marker is on a pole with a streetsign and it is just a couple foot after entering the nature area and the marker tells the person to go left. On this website their is more information about the complete 340km route https://www.wandelnet.nl/westerborkpad On the page is says: “ Dagwandelingen Het Westerborkpad (LAW 15)…
