I’ve submitted countless viable spots at my hospital. From appeals to community rejections, some have been accepted some have been a struggle as to why it gets rejected, but I keep trying. With all the spots they have awarded my HARD work, we have still no Gym served to us WHY! As a matter of fact what’s irritating is that of the “3 spot rule” but, i get 3 in 1 ( hope it makes sense), the give submission to another Niantic game instead of the PoGo system. At this point it feels like I’m climbing a never ending stairway.
PLEASE community what can be done to get a gym at my hospital?! All my colleagues who play are biting their fingers with each submission i complete.
Each game has an algorithm in place that chooses which wayspots and how they are used in their own gameboards. This is what we call inclusion rules. It is outside the Wayfarer team’s scope, unfortunately.
Nomination Support is where you can show your contributions for additional improvements.
I’m not sure what you are on about when you mention the “3 spot rule”. I have never heard of this, and it doesn’t sound anything like the actual system used by Pokémon Go, which you can read more about here.
You need to know how s2 cells works. Do you mean 3 gym per 1 level 14 cells? You need to check the boundry of level 14 cells surrounding your hospital.
2 wayspot 1 gym
6 wayspot 2 gym
20wayspot 3 gym
Hospital also might have emergency access which make certain cell ineligible, further complicate if you need 20 wayspot to create 3rd gym. Depending on area, creating 3rd gym can be impossible or very hard to do and require many hardwork to survey the area.
Even if you do have 20 wayspot, the gym will be created at random among 18 wayspot (2 ald gym) so having gym at your hospital is not really realistic. Each gym have about 5% chance to be gym once you reach 20 wayspot. (Except showcase cant be gym)
So i suggest you first check how is the level 14 cells condition around you
In addition , only after understanding how s2 cell works, can you effectively submit wayspot in empty cells (to get pokestop) because some nomination (like park or sport field) is big enough to have several possible placement.
Slight warning though : missplacement of wayspot submission into empty cell for game purpose is subject to abuse ladder system
Personally i have succesfuly create 3rd gym in some of my area although some area are like 2 wayspot short and i dont think its possible to go beyond it(unless something new installed in future). So it will be hard or no to have 3rd gym, depends on your area.
Yeah thats where my problem lies,
I’ve submitted multiple spots and each time the Cell should be awarded a Gym, it gets awarded to one of the other games. Then I have the issue of people rejecting my nomination even though it meets criteria someone will sit there and reject stating its not a permanent fixture! Or some other nonsensical excuse.
Hey, in the spirit of this forum, let’s please stay kind to the people volunteering their time to review your nominations and move the backlog along. If you review yourself you will know it’s sometimes a bit of a tedious process.
We cannot know whether your nominations have been correctly rejected without seeing them, so you could start a new thread sharing them in full or post them here so we can advise on a resubmission or an appeal and you get your best chances at a gym.
Like above said. Please share your complete nomination so we can advise and improve your nomination. Dont be discouraged by rejection, personally i have hundreds of them over the course of 11 years of submission. When i saw rejection, the first thing i see is whether its rejected by AI or community. Its possible for AI to falsely reject your nomination, when that happened i usually resubmit with better photo and/or description. If its rejected by community, i might appeal depends on rejection reason. Some submission like cafe/restaurant is like hit and miss, i usually just submit once and move on if its rejected. Dont get fixated on certain nomination or spam low quality submission unless you are sure its eligible.
I’m sorry guys I got caught in the moment of my venting. I just think it’s irritating to nominate a photo of nature that can be found in certain spots of the hospital in dedication of promoting exploration of nature and a less stress environment and other hobbies held by medical staff and then some will reject with the reason of it doesn’t appear permanent. The photos aren’t placed on the wall so people can mess with them, they are a part of the fixture permanently. Sometimes I go through appeals which usually grants me a win but it’s a headache having to fight so hard. When I do reviews I always ensure to approve only if the contribution meets actual criteria and if it doesn’t it’s 99.9% of the time under the wrong label. I’ve read plenty of reviews of people complaining about the same thing and the fact that it really feels discouraging! Anyways enough of my complaints.
