Is it safe to return to Wayfarer after a 2 1/2 year boycott?

Thanks everyone who wrote here - I tried to acknowledge all the comments. Hope I didn’t miss any. From what you shared with me, the system does seem to have improved immensely since I knew it. That’s positive to hear. I’ll probably start up again, promise to share any difficult nominations here first to get a sanity check.

Thanks, that’s indeed helpful.

Where can I see how many people have visited stops that I submitted?


Go to settings → notifications and switch on events, offers and updates.

Now I don’t want to be dumb or anything, but I did that.. but nothing seems to happen. Are there any more steps to it?

It goes out once a month, and if you did not have the settings done previously, then you won’t get one until next month.

Here is the announcement for the feature:

The Criteria Clarification Collection is so helpful! These are also posted at https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/help/forum-criteria-discussions-library and https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/21-wayfarer/faq/4693-forum-criteria-discussions-library/ but the way they are divided out here makes it easy to find the one I am looking for.

Many thanks!

Hi, as a fellow Wayfarer submitting in Germany, I can tell you the following:

  1. submissions are usually decided within two weeks or so, most are even quicker
  2. Hit or miss
  3. Unfortunately still a thing, but getting better I think/hope. Private property is the most common incorrect rejection I receive
  4. If they really are slam dunks, they should be accepted on the first try. #3 though
  5. That has never happened to me
  6. Still a thing but getting better. If you receive an incorrect appeal decision you can try posting on the forum
  7. All ambassadors are very nice in my experience
  8. I don’t think Wayfarer really hands out bans willy nilly so ?
