Cross-posting the relevant ‘Criteria challenge’ response from Tintino: [image] Wayfarer Criteria Challenge Survey markers… of course they came up hehe So these were also heavily discussed by the team. While we understand that these are super generic in some parts, in others, they are very uniqu…

@TheDoctorBird adding link here. [image] Here is another fake to check against General Discussion Fake nomination for a survey mark. Several people try this on… AND even if survey mark they are rejection material as common, mass produced, generic, not visually interesting…

I’ve tried a couple times to submit a Geodetic marker in Florida, with no success. Imagine my surprise to log into Wayfarer and see one listed as a Featured Wayspot! Has there been a change in thinking as to these markers? Or is it just a matter of local reviewer interpretation? [IMG_2253]

Hello! I’d love opinions on survey markers such as the one in these photos. [mark1] [mark2] I thought this one was quite unique in that it is on the face of a building and not on the ground like you would typically see in the US. I’m also a survey marker geek as I’m a surveyor and always keep …

[image] PokeOnlyDeath: This problem reminds me that public information boards in Japan have essentially the same problem. In fact, Japanese public information boards are only about 100 meters apart, and even if the content posted is exactly the same in the same city, it is still approved. I …

I’m sorry for going off topic. I just want to say that having ununique wayspots such as survey markers and public information boards in the field will make our game less interesting in the future. In the short term, it will be easier to progress in the game because you can get a lot of items, but …

Does the building have historical presence in the community? Is the marker unique? Take a look at the previouse posts about Geodetic Markers, you need to evaluate each marker for its value to the criteria. Do you know why it is in the corner of a building? I have only ever seen them in the ground. …
