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 https://maps.app.goo.gl/iQ4Hrfc9M8DpB9R68?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy
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
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:
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.
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.
