I had accidentally hit the remove hold off a wayspot i had initially begun using “edit later” in both the description and support information so i could edit later as i usually do when my phone is on the verge of death. However when I tapped release hold i immediately tried to put it back on hold as I hadnt edited it yet and was on that nomination to edit it but it kept returning “invalid argument” i refreshed the page and was horrified to see it had already been accepted within the 2 seconds it took to try put it back on hold. I dont submit pois based on games i just submit things i find would be interesting places. This one bothers me bad as its a fallen k-9 memorial board that is along the The Rainbow Bridge Trail and it really deserved an amazingly description. I dont know how or if ill be able to fix it as im almost certain it wont go live in one of the games. How else can i fix this?
Hi, welcome, happened to me too in the past. If it’s not accessible to you in any game, I would message help chat and explain what happened, proposing a description option.
Thank you thank you thank you. I didnt realize you could do that. Ive never seen anything taken and approved so fast and I was shocked that it was accepted with that.
If it’s been on hold for awhile - say 24 hours - then if the auto accept /reject system thinks it’s acceptable it can be extremely quick.
I have edited the description to reflect generic information. Please feel free to edit it at your convenience.
While I am quite glad this incident is being fixed, it really highlights some major issues.
That the Machine can default to accepting gibberish is a glaring failure. Who could trust a system that can impose such a verdict?
The system needs an auto-hold feature that should be available for nominations and edits, and Pokemon Go needs a more reasonable range for these activities.
One of the Ambassadors called it ‘dishonest’ to submit without ensuring all information was correct, but in PoGo, one cannot even find shade from sun or rain. What difference if you typo while banging in a redundant ‘a church’ or just press ‘fderafa’ and run for cover?
Meanwhile, the staff seems to have kept mum to having turned off resolution for community decisions. I’m sure they’ve got reasons for the delay, but it sure creates a bad user experience to see the system jam up, bog down, and fail to yield expected results. This is not a good way to ensure our participation.
The lack of communication is so off-putting that I am amazed anyone participates at all.
When did they turn off community resolutions?
It seems to correspond with the Edit Challenge.
I think it’s limited to Boston in that case. I’m receiving resolutions to my contributions post community voting.
The difference is accidentally making a typo that is not directly against criteria vs knowingly and consciously mashing gibberish that is not accurate in any way. “A church” in all fields isnt gibberish like I was talking about.
I also recommend “minimal acceptable text” rather than gibberish.
Based on the thread on Boston, I’m not surprised that there are no community resolutions. If the community doesn’t review, there won’t be community resolutions.
That’s one reviewer who is trying to measure the system without interfering with it.
I reviewed all the way through the challenge. I didn’t see local edits, though. I saw a few far-away edits, and a few greater-area nominations, and a surprisingly large proportion of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah stuff that didn’t rise to the quality I would expect for upgrading (benches and such).
I earned two more upgrades. I don’t want to apply them to edits, however, and my queue seems to be blocked by a duplicate approved title edit that has not synced.
Since Aaron says the other person’s edit explains the title being updated in my Nomination Management, but the edit hasn’t synced into PoGo, two of mine are stuck in voting, and the rest remain in queue regardless of how many reviews I or the community complete.
There’s nothing quite like banging out a hundred agreements, applying an upgrade, and then seeing your baseball field rejected, to dampen your enthusiasm.
When the system works, Wayfarers continue to participate in all aspects due to positive reinforcement.
I have been getting Boston nominations to review. So, just saying that there are no local nominations in the queue doesn’t seem right. They have categorically said that there are not enough reviewers in the area.
