Global Reviewer Challenge - Race Around the World! - Discussion

I don’t consider game specific motives. I’m 2 gud a Wayfarer, fam. :innocent:

I do centre and do a 1:1 ratio on my pictures but for something like those I honestly think it wouldn’t matter.

When you spend more time wondering what the Wayspot is rather than looking at the pictures.

New error message “Time out !” after less than 20 seconds needed to evaluate a modification…
The challenge is going to be long… very long… with all these different error messages :frowning:

I wonder if yours is related to the issue they are investigating…

I’m crossing fingers

I’ve been getting the same message all today too. I think I’ve been able to do seven reviews in the past hour and a half thanks to the ! refresh page. I wouldn’t stress about this too much at this point because the Ambassadors and staff are aware of the issues so many people have been having and once they’re in the office they’ll surely be working on solutions as soon as possible. Like you said, fingers crossed all is resolved soon! :crossed_fingers::blush:

the top is not but guaranteed to be the current text. again, there is no data available on the page to know which is current. if you refresh the page you will see a different order and a different diff highlighting


here’s an example I just came across. had to refresh three times before they swapped but it’s often easier to see with more options.

Impossible too review right now. Bouncing ballon 1 out of 5 times. Retry this action 3 out of 5 times. Mystical rating drops. And mostly local reviews.

Our stretch of NCN 5 is almost all stickers

I fail to see how a national route is more or less valid based on the material the sign is made from!

Good afternoon, can anyone tell me the reason? Did I just have a vote today and I’m stuck for 24 hours? It’s absurd. Also since this morning he gave errors as he tries again at least a couple of times, and I have to wait 24 hours to be able to vote, this system is inconceivable, my medal has not advanced for about 1 year and more. There is someone who helps me understand this problem and can bring this situation to light thank you😉

The staff who can fix this issue are just now getting to work. We have alerted them to this problem. We hope they will be able to identify what is causing it and fix it easily, but we are waiting to hear back on that.

Same here - I haven’t found any that aren’t stickers! I finally got ONE accepted, but every other one was rejected.

Keep trying.
We have got the stickers in eventually but it takes persistence
It’s the same trail, so the material shouldn’t make a difference as we are nominting the trail not the marker

Yo what are the ingame rewards for this?

It may take a while.

Reviewers are only just coming round to the idea of NCN routes being acceptable. The ‘stickers’ not so much yet.

Be aware that Niantic considers stickers as not permanent. Here in the Netherlands a lot of trailmarker waypoints that were stickers got removed by Nia. And it is considered abuse if you resubmit them.

Trailmarkers are a weird grey area. I think they are perfect waypoints since they make people excersize and go out to explore, but for some reason, people in the Netherlands have found (again) a way to abuse them, so now Nia is removing them one by one. And they don’t seem to check the criteria then themselves, because I’ve seen valid trailmarker waypoints that permanent and have the name of the trail on it (in stead of just a simple arrow or something) being removed as well.

This whole Nia not being crystal clear on what makes a valid waypoint makes me lose all interest in submitting new waypoints, because next week, they can be removed again. And worse case scenario, you get a ban for abuse also because you submitted something that does not meet (very vague) criteria.

I will argue this one, because the TRAIL is permanent and that is what we are submitting. The markers are all going to degrade over time - the metal signs grow algae and the sticker signs fade but still last 10 years or more. The trail though? That remains. And the markers will be renewed

Hi @yeiiowfirestar

We take action only if we have conclusive evidence suggesting abuse. If someone is not trying to abuse the system, there is nothing to worry.

The Netherlands is a separate case I think. I’m not sure what happens there can be applied to everywhere else.
