But you can get a PokeStop right in front of your house? That makes no sense.
I completely agree with you that those LFL’s in the strip between the road and the sidewalk that some people are getting accepted should not be accepted. I am waiting on another lawsuit to get Niantic to change their stance on these. Do you have other examples?
Head-Bang-Wall with no response apart from my head is sore now.
Sidewalks, ownership by the road, on the road etc are as much as enigma to me as public footpaths are too some of y’all unfortunately.
I don’t think there is going to be another lawsuit unless something super egregious happens. The Hysteria around Pokemon go is not going to go back to 2016 levels. That was the bigger problem was that there was just way too many people and people were doing really dumb things.
There is a section of the city that I live in that uses those roadway verges in between the sidewalk and the street. I kind of have used that area as experiment where things will be accepted and go into the game and I will ask for removals. I have figured out a few rules of what Niantic is looking for.
-
If the object is on the side of the sidewalk with the house it will be likely be removed.
-
if the object is on the verge between the sidewalk and street AND facing the sidewalk it will likely stay.
-
if the object is on the verge between the sidewalk and street but facing the Street it will likely get removed.
-
if there is a fence and the object is clearly on the side of the fence with public access it will likely stay.
My conclusion with all my experiments is that Niantic likes a clear barrier / separation between the PRP and the public access. If they have any reservation they will error on the side of caution and remove.
I’m confused why you’d reject an edit which is making the title of the Wayspot unique?
Do you have examples?
Rijksmuseum the wanna change in amsterdam.
Far off location.
What make it unique if you add ad every statue the city name?
Seems boring a city where every waypoint start whit the city name, location is also more for description in mine opinion if it is not a trainstation or something whit the name of the city. Like Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, but to name the painting also amsterdam.
I skip those nominations.
I dont skip all editing some are perfectly fine, and fun to do.
If I’m not wrong they do that for Ingress reasons because the keys, maybe I’m wrong. That doesn’t mean I like them, they usually do not add anything of valor to the wayspot.
I don’t watch this anymore so I missed your question. What do you mean other examples? I did pass this PokeStop in July it gave me warm fond thought of reviewing and nominating (not)
A better niantic team that follow there own guidlines critiria would be helpfull, instead of random opinions.
It dont have for nothing horns on his head!
I meant other examples of wayspots in front of homes besides the little free libraries. This one is awful, not even a sign.
I haven’t seen anything new in front of homes in game except little free libraries in a while. I know of one that is still left at a house from the old days. A house in that same neighborhood has a gym and PokeStop for murals on a wall that is in their actual yard. It has a large property and their walls are full of murals. The gym is not showing in Campfire though so maybe it’s finally gone I will have to look sometime. The gym has been there since 2016 though.
When the game came out we had a great gym that we called the Frog Gym. Someone had an iron fence that had frogs in it. I can remember spending a lot of time parked outside or standing on the corner since it took so long to take gyms down in those days. About the time the lawsuit made the news it was gone.
My issue with Emily is she has massive trouble with labeling similar wayspots as duplicates. This happens way less with community voting.
(Note you can actually see the other pergola in the background of each pic)
I’m seeing them being approved between the sidewalk and the private property. It is clearly on private property. Want your own pokestop? Put a little free library in your yard. I think you’d have a good chance at approval if you did. I see tons of them when looking at the duplicate pokestops map.
