Back on the old forum I created a thread where I was posting low quality wayspots, nominations and other things that got approved but that probably shouldn’t have. I was waiting for the right wayspot to start a new thread here, and I found one : [image] I was today years old when I learned that Ca…

What are you not getting? They did not submit the gate, they submitted the pool. The gate is the point of entrance to the pool. They made a good, if not beautiful nomination, for a great place to exercise and be social, and it should be accepted.

We went over and over that already. Thank you for trying. [image] Low Quality Wayspots (and other approved things) General Discussion Private Property means specifically Single Family Residential property. That is all you should be concerned about. If it is safe to access…

The gate could placemark the pool, when evident. From the text in the screenshot, it does not appear to talk about the gate but the pool rather. It’s likely the submitter did not have access to the inside of the facility but figured the entrance is sufficient as proxy.

For the placement, the gist is the assurance that there is no interference with the intended use of the facility a…

As you can gather from the comments by @Itsutsume the pin was placed by the gate. In the Criteria clarification it does say ‘on a side of the pool’, considering the whole area is simply your opinion not some guideline. The recommendations for photos also state that it should be a clear photo of the …

The pool as a body of water isn’t the only part of the “pool area” that makes this eligible. The whole concrete slab and seating area are what contribute to it being safely accesible and socializing can happen outside of the pool. Just like how a playground Wayspot doesn’t have to be pinned on the p…

What? :sweat_smile: The right restaurants have ‘to shoo off loiterers’ usually deals with homeless people camping near their entrance, they’re probably not calling the police over some PoGo players. How are gameplay problems and criteria problems divorced? Isn’t that why they have players evaluating…
