Issues with trail markers

Hi everyone, i’m struggling to make some trail markers being accepted.
When i read the guidelines i found this:
Pophttps://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/t/trails-markers/12460
I try to choose the markers with number or name on it and i avoir simple arrows (even if it’s convenient to follow the right route).

Here is the last exemple


There is a little path to follow around this lake, i thought it was a good Idea but maybe i was alone thinking this way.
Bad idea? Any advice?

You’ve got the wayspot in the supporting photo along with a lot of scenery/background to make it possible to confirm the location on ‘satellite’ images, which a lot of submitters fail to do with off-grid submissions, so that’s a definite plus. I’d take the wayspot photo in the same direction as that supporting photo, to make it even easier for reviewers to match the two photos.

With off-grid submissions (no streetview, no photosphere, not visible on ‘satellite’ images), you have to do more work to sell the submission and prove it exists.

Is there a website with the trail described - put that in the supporting text.

I would have submitted this and expected it to quickly be accepted here in the states. The rejection reasons translate to “not distinct” and “inaccurate location” for me. I think those were bad rejection reasons. I would appeal or try again myself.

If you appeal, be aware that you have 2 appeals, each on a 20 day timer before you can use it again. If you resubmit, get some advice from more local explorers. I don’t see what your supporting statement was, but you can use it to remind reviewers that the trail marker is important because it guides people along the trail, not for its own sake.

I’ve have made an appeal if i had remaning amo but i’ve already used it for similar issues…( Appeal worked therefore).

It looks good, but I can’t see the title. Because there will probably be several of these trail markers around the lake, try to give each one a unique description based on the location. Photo and supporting photo are excellent, as said elsewhere if you can find some supporting evidence (e.g. a map) then that will help.

Did it spend a long time in voting? If it did, that might indicate that it was a very marginal vote and a resubmit might well work.

The title is " the fishers ’ path, trail markers", this trail marker has only one sibbling, i choose this one because this one is at a nicest place than the other (personal opinion). It did not took too much time for voting, around a week, which is very fair i think.
I think i will be patient and wait for appeal régénération, i don’t want to have an abusive behavior if i try to submit it again.

If you submit it again, try to have the trail sign for ad least 80%-90% in picture,

Was best tip given by someone on the forum
It inprove my submission getting accepted

Hopefully yours also :+1:
