Ai rejected once again

Nomination Support
1

It’s me, ya girl, back at it again with another AI rejection.

I feel like 90% or what I submit is getting rejected and it’s getting tiring really quickly. Adding in that we have 20 cool downs on the appeals, I just don’t get why they’re even using this AI. Surely the appeals team is getting a way bigger work load now?
Here’s my newest rejection, with no reason even given:

My issue here, aside from WHY, is why was this one accepted?

It’s been awesome seeing folks of all ages use these, especially the tweens. They’re included in the master plans for the development. They’re a great spot to socialize.
These two parks hammocking points are .5 miles away from each other, so it’s not a duplication issue.

I’m 100% appealing it, I just have like 17 days still because of how many things I’ve had to appeal lately.

Mmm I’m guessing a key point is the photo.
The one that got accepted because of the light makes the posts more strongly defined. And there nearest is very close. This makes it look more structured as though it is something defined.

That’s my best guess.

If these are supposed to be used for hammocks, I would expect there to be hammocks in the photos, not just poles. If they haven’t put the hammocks in place yet, say for the summer, you may need to wait for them to be put out before submitting. If the hammocks are not permanent and those living in the neighborhood have to bring their own, it’s going to be a hard sell without a hammock pictured. This is most likely why ML rejected them, as ML doesn’t see these are spots where one could possibly socialize, just some wooden poles in the ground.

Also, I don’t see any slacklines for one to practice balancing on, which would allow for some exercise. Not having the slacklines be permanent could also be seen as an issue. Personally, if I was voting on these, I’d most likely reject since there are no hammocks and/or slacklines between the poles.

I think these fall under a grey area, since they can temporarily be used for certain activities, but what makes them permanent (the hammocks/slacklines) are temporary. If you can provide a link that notes that the developers added these for these purposes, this would be helpful in showing what they are.

We get 2 appeals every 20 days, and not everyone even uses their appeals. I rarely do, so I almost always have my 2 appeals available. The burden of proof is on the submitter, and if the submission is lacking info that can lead to issues.

You may want to take some time and look over the suggestions and info that others here have provided you about some of your nominations. Not everything is to be guaranteed to be accepted, whether by the community or staff, and some of what you are submitting fall more in the grey area and/or hard sell area.

I will say that what has helped me quite a bit is actually reviewing nominations, as then I get to see the good, the bad, and the just plain awful. A really great nomination may take me less than a mintue to approve, while good but not great may take longer, as I may have to do more research about them. The awful tend to just be ineligible, like those located at K-12 schools or generic businesses, or issues with accuracy, such as a 3rd party photo being uses as the main photo. Reviewing has led me to be much more thorough in my nominations, and has given me many ideas of what may or may not be eligible, since, again, nothing is guaranteed to become a Wayspot.

Lots of places provide the poles but you bring your own hammock. It would still be a better photo if OP could get a photo with a hammock, though.

Yeahhhh I’ll just have to go back and take my two I guess.
Add some color pop to the photo anyways :sweat_smile:

They’re for residents to set up their own items. The HOA maintains the grounds and poles, but people bring their own slack lines and hammocks.

I want to point out that the machine seldom if ever ‘knows’ what it is ‘looking’ at.

I think it more or less attempts to match patterns from previous entries. Since your beautiful photo is of an artist’s original work, it didn’t very closely resemble anything in the accepted list.

Since the machine isn’t even excellent at matching one photo of hammock stands with a bunch of previously accepted ones with similar names, it had practically no chance of extending the pattern to include yours.

agree that it is good to remember that the machine learning ai is not actually intelligent. but i thought it was promising that it sent mine that it didn’t recognize - whatever term you want to use for that - to internal review instead of rejecting.

These are not common in my area. Maybe they are more common in areas that tend to have nicer weather year round, but up north, we’d rather have gazebos and pergolas with picnic tables. We also have high wind, so hammocks aren’t the best during these times.

I mean, the whole point of these poles is that the hammocks don’t stay up year round. The HOA/land owner doesn’t have to maintain them. They only have to maintain the poles and hooks. People bring their own hammocks to (literally) hang out. We wouldn’t use them on a typical winter day. But around here, they’d be pretty awful in the full blast of summer. They are more a spring/fall kind of thing, IMO.
