I do agree there needs to be some changes in education, but I don’t agree with scraping the whole system. Do you have a suggestion to how it ought to work? I don’t want to go back to the days when submitters sent an email to be reviewed by Niantic staff, or when Pokemon Go players couldn’t make nominations.
For example, I got this to review yesterday:
No case made for the significance of the person, not interesting on its own. I rejected per my understanding of criteria. However, anyone who is less confident about the criteria would look at all those accepted ones on the nearby and assume it should be accepted. I am sure I will get a disagreement for rejecting it.
Realized I didn’t get the supporting statement in that screen snip. Here it is:
And having been accepted, I don’t believe these meet removal criteria. So they will stay on the map, and people will continue to submit and accept them. I don’t have any answer to this kind of issue. How much will Scopely care about the quality of the Wayspots?
