General Wayfarer AMA Discussion

I’m glad for them, once again, that never happened to me despite strong nominations :slightly_smiling_face:

@TheDoctorBird you aren’t meant to discuss AMA topics in their individual threads, but instead in this main thread… someone will move the ones you already commented on to here shortly

it’s OK.

you spoke. So I deleted

I’m about 75% success rate for appeals

Of the 25% rejected, ive had maybe 5% overturned on here, 10% were bot and I think they should have been, the last 10% were me trying my luck

Nowadays what i get accepted on appeal will never pass from the general voting public as they dont like gyms (even when not a chain) unless something special, cafes, cinemas, bowling, things of that nature, usually rejected for generic business (only thing I can’t ge through are restaurants, for some.reason appeals team hates them)

Hi all
I want to give our AMA a little push!
Good questions until now :hugs:
Could the following users please look again at their posts and try to make a question out of the title?

@akumupus, @CrownFeather and @aslokadaj, @b00jl5yi7g, @FelixHolocher, @Shapesandsounds

Thanks :purple_heart:

Can Niantic remove “old” Pokestop photo votes?

If what players are reporting is correct, old Ingress game votes are still coupled with PoGo votes for photos and are technically keeping newer photos from being shown even when voted on. It would certainly help the game “refresh” - many older photos are blurry or dark, and even though it’s merely a cosmetic issue, I believe it’s helpful to update them because many PoIs have changed their physical appearance over the years.

Thank you @seaprincesshnb / @elijustrying

Are you going to pose this as a question for the AMA? If so create a new topic in this area.

@scottyreg “Of course if people are submitting fake nominations or other clear abuse it makes sense. But there are way too many stories of people getting banned for submitting things in the grey area - generally ineligible but not egregious.”

Where are these stories? "That phrasing “way too many stories” is sounding like weasel words, a vague, unverified and unverifiable claim.

Same as @tomwe “error occured”.

Having two title’s and some adds I would like to edit - but unable to…

Question 1

Title 1:
Can supporting info for nominations include checkboxes and clickable source links?
Subject 1:
To help both nominators and reviewers provide and evaluate supporting information more effectively, could we add two enhancements to the current free-text box?

  • :white_check_mark: A checklist of basic eligibility criteria that the nominator believes the candidate meets

  • :link: An option to include clickable links as source references for reviewers

These additions could improve clarity, reduce ambiguity, and make the review process smoother for everyone involved.

Question 2

Title 2:
Could a heat map of wayspot density be added to the Wayfarer map?
Subject 2:
Would it be possible to introduce a feature that overlays a heat map showing the density of wayspots within selectable S2 cells (ranging from S20 to S17)? This could make it easier and more fun to identify areas with strong development potential at a glance.

While higher resolution cells like S12 might be useful for game-specific strategies, my main intention is to support broader exploration and planning — helping Wayfinders spot underdeveloped regions worth investigating.

I can’t change the title. I think “Could we get more detailed profile statistics?” would fit the topic :slightly_smiling_face:

I deleted. Someone brought them back. Now I cannot even edit. Sigh

Maybe don’t lock posts at the AMA discussion meeting that had been deleted. I made a mistake and I wanted to rectify by removing

Here is the thing.

I HAD NO IDEA that I was forbidden from posting. All I click on from the forum front page is NEW POSTS. I then respond to posts I think I have something interesting to me to say. So once I was told “who’s a naughty boy then” I removed.

Perhaps if there are rules to a forum then the first time you respond it says. This is discussion type A responding is wrong. Or how about a feature that has responses turned off for this forum type.

Just saying. That last suggestion might just help as we don’t all use the forums the same way. I react to new posts…

Where and what? I can help you

https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/t/can-we-have-1-day-suspension-instead-of-1-day-warning-on-abuse-ladder-system

@TjoeMi In regards to your question I do think a warning 1st is preferable, some people will learn from this and even a 1 day suspension could be deemed harsh. I do think that “everybody deserves a 2nd chance”.

I have no sympathy for anyone that gets a warning and decides to ignore it.

I have not had any warnings (maybe luck, maybe I’m a goody two shoes :slight_smile: ) , is it possible that the warning messages are not strong enough. Do they make it clear that “The next time WILL be a suspension for Wayfarer AND ALL GAMES

Does this mean you would be happy for others to snake your submissions? Because you know in cut-throat areas like Charlotte that’s how this would be used.
