Kindness is still appreciated

This message may get taken down, but I have to say what’s on my mind.
There are a lot of people that were not happy with the most recent Wayfarer Challenge and they have a lot of valid points to feel that way.

HOWEVER, you can state your opinion, whatever it may be, but at the same time leaving out personal attacks. Please remember, there are REAL people behind these user names, @NianticTintino , @NianticAtlas and @NianticAaron.

They are doing their jobs at the best rate they can with what the company gives them. Don’t be a keyboard tough guy. I can unequivocally say, no ones live was ruined because they didn’t get a Lucky Trinket or that the Challenge ended early.

I’ve had the privilege of meeting @NianticTintino in person and he is delightful.

Please let Niantic know how you feel, don’t pull any punches. But please leave the personal attacks out of the messages.

Also, the ambos are unpaid volunteers - they don’t work for Niantic.
Let’s be better people.

No, this is a great reminder to all to be respectful and civil to ALL! Some of the responses during and after the challenge have been upsetting to me. I think I’ve stayed out of all of those who seem to just want to attack, not actually look at how we can be constructive about issues.

I did note in another challenge thread that I feel that staff may not have foreseen how popular this challenge ended up being, nor did they think we would have gotten to tier 3 community rewards with a day to go and very little to review. Yes, there were issues, and staff have acknowledged this and apologized; they are listening, taking notes, and will make improvements for the future (if there is any other challenges in the future).

And, for anyone that may need a refresher, the community guidelines can be found here:

Yes, leave the mods alone. If you’re upset, you can… BlameJamal.

(Just kidding, don’t blame Jamal)

Don’t go telling HMRC that! I’ve been writing off some tax for the last two years with this role! /jk

I’m still crying over no lucky trinket… Points to the large bucket

But I agree with your point.
