What should you do if nominations with bad photos are still accepted with the words "we’ll fix it later”?
Above are a few examples where half of the photos take up the floor/ground. In the second nomination, they don’t even nominate the basketball court, but the sports equipment located behind the court. However, knowing our community, such nominations will be accepted anyway.
These photos are not awful, I’m not even sure I’d call them bad. Some things would be better taken as a landscape photo, which would have fixed the issues with the wasted space in the second and third photos, but as people traditionally take and expect to see portrait photos when reviewing, it’s an understandable decision.
As to nominations saying “we’ll fix it later”, that’s going to be an almost certain rejection from me.
I mean if it is in supporting information, it shouldn’t tho right?
Description is a rejection.
May I ask if this is in supporting information or description. Because one does not really scream a rejection criteria, and one clearly does for low quality description.
This isn’t about additional information or description. Our community is very small, so we can easily ask who took a particular bad photo in a nomination and why. In response, we most often get the answer, “Oh, come on, we’ll fix it later.”
I suppose if I found that in the supporting information, it would make me look a lot harder at the submission to be sure there isn’t any other problem, but it wouldn’t in itself be a reason for rejection.
If the photo is bad, I will reject for the photo being bad. None of the examples you posted qualify as bad photos that require rejection.
My opinion is that these are good photos of playgrounds. There is no issue with the photos.
IIt is clear in each case that the object being submitted is a playground.
If you consider these rejectable on the basis of the photo, then you need to review your practice.
Sorry I can’t read the text.
…so those information was not given in description or supporting information.
It is not a rejection criteria I am afraid to said so.
The problem is that even if I reject an entry because of a bad photo, the same nominations are later accepted.
Your reviewing standards may be too harsh, or they might be valid but different to other people’s. No one reviewer can cause a submission to be rejected.
I have rejected submissions and noticed they get accepted, meaning my opinion was different to the majority opinion. That doesn’t make my review wrong and it doesn’t make the community decision wrong. I have to accept that something was accepted that I didn’t feel was eligible or that had issues with the submission.
Once a wayspot is accepted, having a bad photo is no reason for its removal as long as the wayspot itself is eligible and legitimate. The (only) solution is to upload a new photo and try to get it as the main photo.
That’s because you’re rejecting decent photos which do not meet any rejection criteria, so you’re going to be getting disagreements. The other reviewers correctly did not vote to reject for the photo, hence it was accepted as it appears to be an eligible nomination (I can’t read the text though).
This is the logic that guides those who submit these nominations. They know that even with a bad photo, they will be accepted. They also know that a bad photo won’t get a wayspot deleted once it’s up. That’s why they don’t try to take a good photo, and they certainly don’t take a new one if wayspot has already appeared in the game.
Are you aware that anyone, including yourself, can take a better photo once the wayspot has been accepted? Why do you need to ask the community who took the photo? If the object/location is eligible but you think it needs a new photo, just go out and add a better photo.

I agree with that, but @seaprincesshnb is saying what to do when a wayspot does exist with an inferior photo. Please note that what one person thinks is an inferior photo is not necessarily the same as what another person thinks.
In theory, if no-one else is bothering to vote on any photos on a new wayspot, then a single vote should be sufficient to change the main photo.
Yeah for new PoIs it’s extremely easy to change the photo, especially with ML, you can take a new photo, have it automatically accepted within minutes, thumbs up the new one and itll change that day.
This was definitely correct in the past but many reports of which stop turns in to a Gym now being random have been observed including my very limited observations.
If these photos are ones you’d reject for being bad that you are concerned with being later approved, it sounds like the system is working as intended.
Likes on your own photo don’t count. I’ve already checked this before.
