Memorial Benches - Opinions Sought

Oh, I have seem several benches as of late that have gotten accepted along a walking path in a city park get accepted, and I rejected them for being mass produced and all over the park. None were even memorial benches, but the community accepting them! Even after I let my local Campfire groups know to review the criteria and guidelines about a week after we went down to L35…

And yes, many think that because there is a Wayspot for a bench in-game already that it’s still eligible, so that’s another issue, and they don’t understand not to base their nominations off of what’s in-game, but off of the criteria and guidelines.

Best thing I have found is to look the person up, most of the time the obituary will be on line. I have uses the information from that to make my argument for some nominations. The person the bench is for doesn’t have to be world famous or even famous in the city. Just needs to be a notable person in the area.

If the bench have good view, i believe it could also add point. But again, let community decide whether its view worthy or notable (memorial) worthy
