eMiLy auto denied this one, but I thought the Niantic appeal would easily see that this is clearly a perfect nomination and allow it. The statue is small, but that’s kind of the point and size is not as far as I’m aware a criteria that needs to be met. There are 16 different life sized metal frogs p…

The first appeal request was denied, so I’m left with little recourse. Where would I be able to post the video clip, would it be here right now in this forum? Because I can go walk to the frog and be back in 30 minutes.

At the moment, I would wait to see what the Niantic Staff will say on your appeal of the appeal. If they insist on a video evidence, it may be worth going out to get one done.

So I can appeal the appeal? I’m so confused, sorry you have to deal with the bombardment of questions. I haven’t appealed the appeal, and I can’t figure out how to on the contribution page.

Since you ald went through appeal process and got rejected, we wait for niantic team to read this. But in the mean time , you can get video and put it here before niantic said anything. I think that would be better.

Yep. You can appeal the appeal. I’ve done it a few times, but only when I believed the appeal decision was wrong.

Hi @Botany99 One week ago we’d a similar situation here on the forum: [image] Banned for “fake nomination” Nomination Support Hello, today I got banned because of my nomination that was rated as “fake nomination” even though it’s real. Nomination name was “Karpik uczeń” a…

Ok, I read through that. So the problem was solved after a 360 degree video was sent. Would you like for me to go and take a video of its existence?

Its in your best interest to provide as much evidence as possible before niantic come here and read the verdict. I saw the 16 frogs facebook page. Looks good but i saw case where one of the frog got stolen lol. Perhaps thats why the lilipad was missing. [image] 16 Frogs: Blacksburg Watersh…

In case it is needed I took a video preemptively as extra evidence that it exists:

Ohh so thats where the qr code is. So 2022 street view definitely have it.

Denial for being a non-permanent statue... it's a statue. I promise it's permanent. Can someone explain the reasoning?
