Re: Game Crashing after take a photo
If anyone experiences this issue on an iPhone, there is no way to change the photo resolution. This was said in the September AMA: Expanding remote nominations to Pokémon GO and allowing access to previously taken photos (i.e. photo galleries) to avoid image timeouts. We agree that these are great features which should be… -
Re: Do you believe using upgrades on a nomination increase the nomination's chances of being rejected?
@RandomExploit-ING writes: Niantic have clarified multiple times that it should be 3* if it can't be seen but likely/probable to be there. Right. That's useful for something like a trail marker that's under trees. If someone submits a candidate that seems to be in the middle of a farmer's field and there's no additional… -

Re: What is the difference between a directional sign and a navigational sign?
I can see where Giffard, or whoever clarified that is coming from with that thought. Often when I review signs I believe are either directional- or navigational signs, the submitters leave the trail marker tag in the "what is it?" section of nomination reviewing. The signs when they have that tag when I review them do have… -
(not so) funny rejection reasons
(1) There is an observation watch tower (built in 1914-15) in a forest. There is even a photoshere. https://www.google.com/maps/@50.9695487,12.4304509,3a,73.7y,26.66h,110.37t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sAF1QipOdUn5HKGCLScDN-HiYnYJ34TVX_m8DzuOTQ6Jf!2e10!3e12!7i8704!8i4352 I didn't create the photoshere. I submitted that tower in… -
Re: Deliberate sabotage of Pokestop Nominations
The ones rejected for not historically significant or not visually unique were likely actually marked as a duplicate by some reviewers, but not enough to trigger the duplicate rejection reason. There's a glitch with the system where if this happens, it ends up displaying those rejection reasons. Are you absolutely sure… -
Feedback to the Appeal team
Today my appeal of a valid POI was reviewed by Niantic. The verdict in wayfarer was: "Thanks for the appeal, Explorer! We could not verify the existence of this object at the specified location, so we are unable to reverse the decision of the community. We recommend that you resubmit the nomination with supporting image… -
Sample of fakes in Newfoundland
City: Stephenville Country: Canada Spans about 4km across, didn't do a thorough check, but these are some fake portals. In voting: "Music and Dance Sidewalk Art" prompted a larger view of the intel map. It was a nomination of an artwork in a different country. The duplicate list included another piece from this art series,… -
Re: There's a massive amount of nominations that were rejected for "no cultural value"
I've had a footbridge recently rejected for not being culturally important. And today, had an interesting trail marker rejected for same reason. On the note of strange rejection reasons, I also recently had a mural rejected for not being the proper orientation ("Photo appears to be tilted, sideways, or upside down.). I had…
