Hello Team, I received a rejection mail today on one of my Wayspot nomination. And upon logging into my wayfarer account I received a abuse warning, I am absolutely unware what abuse I did submitting a valid nomination. Is this some false alarm pushed by niantic?

Hello and welcome @Mysticjit You get 3 emails in total specifically relating the breech of the rules These will be different from the standard rejection email. You have shown us one of the emails relating to the breech, have you had the other emails that give details?

Hiking trail signs are recognized as an ideal place to promote exercise, but guide signs are excluded fro…

Since the images are of quite higher size I prefer submitting them after connecting to my home wifi. And I have been doing this since last 6 years. I always take the pictures while visiting the place and keep a mark on my google map submission list and start submitting only when I reach home. I do n…

Even if reviewers accepted it, that does not mean it was the correct decision. I suspect that the Wayfarer team takes a strict stance on submissions and reviews that violate the criteria clarification collection. The sign you showed does not promote exercise, and even if it indicates where to explor…
