Hello everyone,
I submitted a post office branch which got denied by the community (lacks uniqueness or historical and cultural meaning). I appealed it, as post offices are explicitly listed to match criteria to meet others:
However the appeal was denied for the following reason:
“Thanks for the appeal, Wayfinder! We suggest that you add more information explaining why this business is important for the local community in a new nomination. This can greatly increase the odds of this nomination getting approved. We recommend you review the content guidelines before submitting your next Wayspot contribution: Content Guidelines — Wayfarer Help Center”
I genuinely don’t know what there is to add, post offices are a good place to meet others no matter if it’s important to the local community or not. It’s the same as with chain gyms, which are a good place to exercise no matter if important to the local community or not.
I personally feel scammed out of my appeal and would like for this to be re-reviewed. Even if it is found to not be eligible, I’d want a proper explanation from Niantic/Scopely, as the appeal rejection notice makes no sense at all taking their own criteria into account.
Submission details, machine translated from German to English for consistency:
Title: Deutsche Post Branch (number) inside EDEKA
Description: Deutsche Post Branch (number) is located inside the EDEKA supermarket on (street). It offers all the services of a post office branch.
(won’t share the other pictures as I would prefer to not reveal the location in public)
EDIT: Supporting info referenced criteria and explained why it’s a good place to meet others.
