Mural at the outside wall of a private residence beside public street walk

Hello guys. Not sure if this is the right place to ask.

I appealed one of my nominations several days ago and it was rejected by Niantic with the reason below:

Thanks for the appeal, Explorer! The nomination is on the property of a private residence which makes it ineligible. Hence, we are unable to reverse the decision. We recommend you review the Wayspot rejection criteria before submitting any more Wayspot contributions: Rejection Criteria — Wayfarer Help Center

From my understanding, the mural itself is on the property of a private residence, but it lies outside beside a public street walk. It encourages exploring, and in order to explore it people only need to stand on the public street walk instead of walking into the private residence, and don’t even has to touch it in order to explore it. So it has nothing to do with private residence here.

Am I wrong? If yes please help me clarify. The picture itself i think is a good piece of art with unique design.

What a cool wall art! Yes sometimes it make no sense, this wall is ad public sidewalk for everyone to see and touch,

But if it where on a appartment and only reachable fot the famillies living there, then it was accepted,

If there life 1 familly it get rejected
If there life more famillies on top of eachother it get accepted, like appartment or flat

It’s still on a single family private residential property so the rejection is correct.

Hello and welcome @E4Cynthia
Your English is fine :sunglasses: and you are also welcome to post in whichever language you feel most comfortable with as there is a translation tool.

What a great mural.
However, because it is on the wall (even though it is on the public accessible side) of a single family private residential property it is not in a suitable location.
This is explained in this further clarification

So do have a read of that.

I appreciate how frustrating that is but this is one of the areas that Wayfarer has been clear about.

Thanks guys. The above is well understood.

I guess sometimes we should enjoy the beautiful things like this instead of caring much on whether it is reflected in a game or not :grinning:

Hello,

The mural in this case does exist, however, it’s ineligible to be a Wayspot as it’s part of a wall on private property.

Also, I’ve noticed that you have been posting on several different threads and at times are off-topic. Please make sure you are on-topic when replying.

If a Pokemon ran into someone’s bedroom or back yard, a trainer could jump the fence, peek in the window, ring the doorbell asking permission, etc. Also if there’s a raid there, they could block their driveway so they can’t get to work. Or be loud into the wee hours while they’re trying to sleep.

These are all things that have happened - and the homeowners sued Niantic.

I don’t know what could happen with it in Monster Hunter Now, or whatever future games Niantic hasn’t released yet, or hasn’t even created.
