Please note that eMiLy is a she, not a he. This might be a translation issue, but eMiLy is definitely female.
The approving of submissions was wonderful for those of us who submitted genuine submissions and found then getting accepted quickly. It was less wonderful when Niantic found that invalid submissions were getting accepted and it was right that this feature was disabled.
I’d expect Niantic would like to revive this if it can be done, but they are very unlikely to discuss that in advance and the technology may not be sufficiently advanced to allow it.
Niantic staff do pick up some submission for internal review and can reject them, which may be what happened here. Based on what I reviewed an hour or so back, eMiLy is not back yet, or at least is not back fully. It’s possible she is rejecting some submissions, but the evidence is not conclusive.
One of the all time great songs.
I try although I sometimes slip up as I am human, to refer to Emily as the neutral They
But lets not get side tracked We have been down this path before.
you are correct, as usual. i should have flagged the comment chastising someone for using the wrong pronoun, not commented on it. please feel free to remove all gender related comments from this topic.
Why remive the comment? It was their opinion and they are entitled to it. It was not disrespectful to anyone. We should not be intolerant to opposing views.
You know that I don’t like calling you by the other name, as I know many with it and they are delightful people. I just don’t want to compare them to being an AI machine when they actually have a brain.
Anyways, you can still take a break. Hey, maybe we’ll get a challenge out of your September time off, and we can’t help clear the queue out of you then! That’d be nice of us, right?
eMiLy still hasn’t come home. Right now, a chair calling itself a bench has come to greet me, wanting to become a PokéStop. I’ll start talking some sense into him now.
So many NSW Survey Marks coming back in. And we put things in the Featured showcase section that clearly fail criteria. People see them and go OK. ME I would moderate the featured section . Monthly with real good examples so we help people on their first visit to see what quality looks like.
Showcase rubbish equals rubbish in
But a question. And I have raised it before. When a place becomes full of everything or a place has little - will peope just nominate anything?
We all know the system is poor at onboarding people. We still give medals for chugging through reviewing. I spoke with someone the other day who said they just click through not looking. More rubbish
And Emily may have been so good at accepting the quality stuff all we had for a time was dross dross and dross to review. Real pap coming in. It showed just quite the quality of junk the system has to deal with.
I wish Emily could be partially let loose on somethings we just know fail. Simplify the behaviour. And would love Emily pull similar things already accepted in system for a secondary review. Such as Survey Marks. Not that you can tell I have anything against them. Just using it as an example.
Of like this fake I posted Going mad or is this another fake could Emily be set loose on finding these… Because potentially a time will come when AI nominations will fly through the system.
I like Emily. I think @Glawhantojar we have no idea quite how much the old ML did.
@DTrain2002 I also think ML can take the fun out of it if it removes the challenges. Same same same everyday can colour the thinking. And a good challege is also a learning experience of other countries.
Balance hey.
Back to the orginal sentiment. Cookies all round for everyone. Double cookies for cleaning up the showcase Treble cookies çause it is Saturday where I am
Y’all, I literally just had someone try to submit a storage shed in their backyard and another one that was a plaster cast statue of St. Mary obviously next to their front door. eMiLy, please come back! lol
We have been down this path before.
eMiLy, please come back! lol
