I’m trying to do double submissions (Ingress & Pokémon GO) whenever I find something that’s excellent (and as all my nominations are, it’s been all of them).
I very rarely submitted in Pokémon GO, so the Categories section is irksome. I was hoping (like in Wayfarer when it picks up something like street and applies the category “Tree” or Public Footpath and applies the category “Pub”) that it would have some kind of detection on and suggest categories.
However, I’m just typing up the description when I do it on Ingress and then copy and paste in to Pokémon GO when I get to that point. Sometimes taking the photos beforehand so I can select them as Existing Photos, but I have forgotten a handful of times so if they appear on both games the photos will be slightly different.
Still waiting for Recon to come up when we can review. Fingers crossed there will be a similar forum with staff etc. but I have my doubts with the smaller team.
Something else about the double-submitting, it means double emails! I still need to sort my filters out for them.
Yeah, something like that. My short message sounded better in my head.
I’m doing pretty much exactly the same as you. Maybe the only difference is that I am submitting /everything/ later, or writing it up at home first, because my typing on a tablet is awful, so I end up using exactly the same photos for both systems.
I’m preparing the descriptions in Google Drive first, then pasting them into the field for Ingress. Wayfarer I put on hold and edit later still, much better.
This is exactly why I’m hesitant to nominate anything in Recon right now, I have a tendency to not check my stuff for days at a time and I’m worried I’ll forget and get a bunch of nominations go into voting with “dfhofh” as a description lol
A few more double submissions this past week whilst I was away from my usual area.
Almost all of them already accepted in Wayfarer, and should all be on Pokémon GO (but I can’t check) so there should be a new lovely long titled Gym there.
Will be nice whenever Recon kicks off and lots of new things come on the Ingress map.
Will there be a new Wayfarer Map, or a new one for Ingress portals, which is no longer being updated?
I have recently submitted identical Wayspots in both games, but have only received a response via Wayfarer for Pokémon Go. I have not received any response from Ingress, nor can I see my submissions as portals. It is all quite peculiar…
I gave up submitting in ingress, when the ingress reviewing opens up ill prnbaly do them then as i cna copy and paste from wayfarer. Only issue is a few of my accepted ones were done through appeal and who knows is niantic will keep up the appeals
I meant when niantic would do appeals in general, as the things that got accepted through appeal would probably be rejected again lol things like gyms, cafes/restaurants, a single spelling mistake etc etc
We don’t know for sure if this could be the case once Recon is fully up and running. There are many things that I have speculations about for Recon, but since nothing is known yet, I haven’t posted any of my thoughts on these.
One thing we do know is that Spatial is going to be focused more on AI in the coming future. I think this could apply to Recon as well, but again, nothing is known as of yet other than that the company will focus more on AI.
So, there’s now a help chat bubble on the Recon website, but it seems to be an AI bot to ask questions about Spatial mostly. It doesn’t seem to give any options to report bad photos, request a location edit, etc. Just wanting to let others know, just in case you see if and think it’s like the Wayfarer help chat.
I have worked in an office with Brothers and that is bad enough. You can’t have a disagreement with just 1 of them even when they argue / disagree with each other constantly…
