Sorry, I wasn’t clear.
That photo is mine. 
did you read the piece i quoted. it says to place the wayspot at the entrance. that gate is the entrance to the pool. the submitter did not submit the gate or the sign. they submitted the pool at the entrance to it PER CRITERIA.

Sorry. Yes, it’s yours, and it shows that’s it’s for the pool - that’s the main part.
The entrance gate is where you SHOULD pin a pool. We shouldn’t penalize submitters if the gate is not as grand as this one that ML accepted.

The gate is at the entrance of the pool area, but from the signs on it it’s not clear that it’s an entrance to the pool area. And here’s the funny part - from the other side of pool area you have much better view of the pool:
They never mentioned the gate
Title:
Buttercreek community pool #1
Description:
This is the buttercreek community pool belonging to the buttercreek neighborhood.
The nomination was for the pool with the gate as the visual anchor for the pool.

Gates don’t have to be grand, but I should be able to understand from the photo that it’s an entrance to a pool. On this photo you can see the pool in the back. @nexushoratio’s photo also shows pool in the back. The gates on the photo I posted doesn’t say it’s for a pool, and the photo doesn’t have a pool on it.
But the gate doesn’t say it’s for a pool. There’s no pool on the photo. There’s nothing about the pool on the gate sign. If you go to the other side, you could take a photo of the gate with the pool in the background - that would be much better than some gate that supposedly leads to a pool, but you can’t tell so from the photo.
The supporting photo shows the pool on the other side of the distinctly shaped structure that can be seen in the main photo. The sign can also be seen in the supporting photo. This was a good nomination that you rejected because it wasn’t pretty enough for you.

The supporting photo shows there’s a pool, and I can see the pool on the satellite view, but the main nomination photo doesn’t show anything. When someone looks at this wayspot’s photo, they will see a gate that shows no pool and mentions no pool. The entrance doesn’t have to be pretty. Like I said, the other side has the same gate, but you can get the pool in the background:
This would have been a much better nomination.
I see there is no point in reasoning with you. I hope other people reading this thread will realize this should have been accepted.

I would be on the fence about this one. Sure it technically meets the criteria, but you also have a sign that states that it is private property and no loitering. That isn’t an invitation to come and play PoGo or some other game. It’s only a good place to socialize for the few people who have access. 
Yep.
Not all waypoints have to be accssible to all players.

Of course not, but kind of weird putting the Wayspots in front of the no trespassing signs.
Private Property means specifically Single Family Residential property. That is all you should be concerned about. If it is safe to access for people who are allowed to be there, it is eligible. That is explained in the tool tip for Appropriate and here:

You should be concerned with if it’s a good location to play the game, not only if it meets the criteria. Not every eligible location is equal.
You need to answer the questions in the review flow. If it meets criteria, you should accept it.
I am stunned how many people are making up their own rules for accepting Wayspots.

Yeah, I’m probably not giving thumbs up for the private property or no trespassing sign.

The private property sign was not what was submitted. The pool was what was submitted. Choose Idk on Appropriate if you aren’t comfortable with a thumbs up.
