Appeal decision is incorrect

When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:

  • Wayspot Title: laksa beras house
  • Location (lat/lon): 5.6835124, 100.4938836
  • City: sungai petani
  • Country: malaysia
  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information):

  • Additional Information (if any)

I applied for this place but it’s being rejected first by voting, claiming that is generic business
I made an appeal, saying that it is NOT GENERIC as it is the only place in Laguna residential area that sells laksa (a national dish in Malaysia). It is important to loca community, and it is true in google maps, we can easily check the good rating in google maps

Also there are plenty of restaurant around the world being made as legit POI, and this is not an exception

I made appeal, BUT IS NOW AGAIN BEING REJECTED AS DUPLICATE, which is not, as there is CLEARY NOTHING AROUND THE MAP REGION WHICH HAS POKESTOP/POI.

Something is wrong with the database, this needs to be reviewed again and approve. This is not a fair judge

This is nearby which looks sort of similar to [Name of the Object] if you half close your eyes and switch the lights out.

It looks like the appeals reviewer forgot to fill in this part:

I wonder what that was supposed to say?

Did you check the area with the toggle turned on in the Pokemon Go nomination map screen? That will show you if there are any hidden Wayspots that you can’t see, but it only works while you are right there. Will look something like this:

And how is “cerek” equal to “laksa beras house” ???

Cerek is kettle in malay
And laksa is laksa

They are different, selling different things

I believe @26thDoctor was probably looking at the Lightship database that I don’t have access to and that was humorously stating that as the closest match. I don’t think anyone thinks the two are the same thing.

Thanks. So now that it has been clarified is not a duplicate

How do i “appeal the appeal”?
Who’s responsible to approve the POI now?
Resubmitting another POI and wait for months again is a waste of time (esp since my justification is valid)

Agree that this appeals decision reason is not accurate. Hoping Niantic will reply with an explanation. Or that you will get a new email saying this has been accepted.

Hello! Is not possible to appeal an appeal. Maybe a member of the Staff could see this and decide to revert the decission but is not sure. If not, maybe you can nominate again using the information provided here.

Is niantic on this thread?
How long it takes for them to response?

Or how do i make sure my appeal on top of appeal reaches their end???

I have already kickstart the thread, complaining about the wrong decision made by staff

Now that i got some approvals here, what is the procedure?

Or who can tag the staff so that they are aware of this??

Tagging staff randomly is annoying. An ambassador has replied which is a good sign.

If it were me, I would resubmit, as the ML (machine learning ai) model tends to accept my nominations within 24 hours. I would crop out all the background that might be confusing it, and submit the main photo as a square centered on the logo from the sign. But having brought the issue to the forum, I would wait a few days first.

Should i move my thread to “wayspot appeals”

Seems like niantic staff is more responsive there, and my plea is more accurate to be done on that forum

Hi,
No this area is fine for queries about appeal outcomes.

@NianticAaron would it be possible please to see what has occurred here?

3 days passed, not even a single news from niantic.

It is very unfair for me to waste my upgrade and my appeal to get a bogus result from niantic community

Most responses are at about a week turnaround, sometimes even longer, give it some time.
