Description/Supporting Information

Can’t find the post that the community made in regards to a proper/appropriate description and supporting information.

I do remember something along the lines of: “a description that mentions pokemon, pokespot, ingress, etc” would be deemed inappropriate.

Does the same apply to the supporting information?

Thanks

Any reference to why a nomination is good for a specific game in the supporting is a waste of space, but not something to reject for imo. There was a post on the previous version of the forum (referring to a specific statement that we never were shown) where a staff member commented that the game reference in the supporting statement could be influencing reviewers. To be clear, we never saw the statement he referenced. But that led many to believe that they should reject for game references in the supporting. However, the game prompt asks why the Pokestop nomination would be important, so I think they are just answering the question, not committing abuse if they do reference PoGo in the supporting statement.

So in your opinion, supporting information along these lines would be fine?

I also had one recently that I reviewed, and the supporting information only said “it’s a good pokestop.”

I was wondering if this would classify as the “low or inaccurate description” rejection.

I would not reject for this supporting statement.

I would not reject for this either. But they have wasted the opportunity to convince you that it is a great place to exercise, explore, or be social - the three criteria. Or convince you that it exists where they say it does and is what they say it is. Sometimes no convincing is needed.
