Re: Continuous accumulation of rejections with wrong reasons Part2

To get back to the tenor of this topic, another (in my opinion) good example of what is going wrong: In spring 2021 I submitted a hiking trail which, according to Niantic's November 2020 AMAs, should be legitimate. As can be seen, this is also used by cyclists... Regardless of whether the marker itself was the focus of the… -
Re: Ban for influencing !?
There needs to be a Reason for Edit field for location edits. People submit edits for a more accessible yet still accurate location, and reviewers can't tell which is the "most accurate". People attempt to explain their reasoning via Description edit, and are flagged for abuse. I get plenty of small adjustments for indoor… -
Re: Fake Nomination - "Bourkey Memorial" - Croydon, Victoria, Australia.

Another fake with an appalling photoshop in the same area. "Ex-Services Memorial". These are appalling fake images... Supporting photo (which does not support)... There are lots in that area that are completely fake but they have been approved! Barngeong Trail Marker This one could be real, but you just know that it is… -
Re: Frustrated with Trail Rejections
If you had titled it "Tri State Trail Footbridge" and pin it where it can be seen in Google map along with relevant information, it may have a better chance. At least the footbridge is on a hiking trail and has railing but it's still going to be challenging to reach a high star rating because there are other footbridges… -
Rejected wayspots due to "nominate later" swapped photo bug

The following wayspots were rejected with reasons including : Photo is low quality (e.g., pitch black/blurry photos or photos taken from a car), Nomination appears to contain extraneous objects or identifiers not representative of the nomination. All of them were nominated and victims of the "nominate later" swapped photos… -
Re: Remove Ability to Edit Location During Review/Voting
Please remove the edit location option during voting. This gets abused and people are moving pins to other spots to intentionally drop them into occupied cells causing wayspots that take too long to get approved, to never appear. I imagine this happens a lot less often than someone trying to intentionally abuse the system… -
Re: Can we re remove generic business please
I am very thankful for Generic Business as an option, as it is one of the few ways to reject things that should be rejected (namely, generic businesses). To reject something from the map you need to do a 👎 for one of the first four questions. How would you do this for… * A tax accountant * An insurance company * A mortgage… -
Generic footpath stencils

Tossing up between posting this in general or guideline clarification, but decided to post here since it's more to do with peoples' interpretations. So I haven't reviewed for a while, and when I did, I felt like I was seeing version 2 of Sydney's survey marker issue. I've always been under the impression that generic… -
Re: Gym not accepted
Many aspects of the criteria are deliberately subjective. There is nothing that states that reviewers must accept every X, whether X is a gym or a trail marker or a soccer field. Using this forum to point fingers at commenters for exercising their subjective authority and giving you honest feedback - feedback you requested… -
Re: Army of: need pokestops, more stops, no pokestops etc
Helpful note once in the submitting process and you click on a category you think your submit falls under it will give a brief detailed description of it: Playground a publicly accessible outdoor facility used primarily for leisure. Named trail marker a pre detrimened route that will help people explore green areas and…
