I recently had a description edit rejected for a church.
Original: Baptist church in Asheboro, NC.
Suggested Edit: Mt. Calvary Independent Baptist Church believes that the King James Bible (KJV) is the foundation of their belief. They do their best to welcome all visitors and have a family atmosphere in their services.
So, I decided to throw an appeal on this. The edit is clearly significantly different and of a higher quality. It better describes the wayspot and what explorers will find there.
Niantic’s appeal reviewers chose to reject the appeal:
“Thanks for the appeal, Explorer. I see that the text you have submitted is copied and pasted from third-party sources which makes your contribution ineligible. Please refer to our guidelines before making any further submissions: Rejection Criteria — Wayfarer Help Center”
No, the text is NOT copy and pasted from another source. Yes, I researched the church and wrote a good description for it.
I challenge anyone to find where I supposedly copied and pasted this text from. I have come to expect substandard reviewing from Niantic’s appeals reviewers. However I think it is bad form (to put it mildly) to say the text is a cut and paste job from a third party source, when one is unable to substantiate that accusation.
