Nedd to appeal an appeal cause someone messed up

Rejceted submission for “temporary” when its soooo not. Then, rejcted the appeal for “license plate.” It’s a statue!

It’s a permanent installation at PDX airport and the only “plate” is the description! How the heck could this be a license plate??? Anyone know how to appeal an appeal?

Welcome to the forum @eGrant03

I am sorry you have found us because you are frustrated. We might be able to help figure out what has happened if you want to share the nomination.

Be aware that the rejection reason is not just “temporary,” it is “Temporary/Seasonal or Not Distinct” and often it is the “distinct” part that is the issue.

There is no official channel for this. But every now and then, Niantic will reconsider an appeal when it is presented on the forum. They do want to know when they got it wrong. It has to clearly be wrong, though, and doesn’t happen often.

Hello and welcome,

Are you willing to share your submission? We are certainly willing to look at it to see if it is eligible, and how you might be able to improve on your next submission?

Unfortunately, as the others have said, everyone only gets 1 appeal per submission, even if you do not agree with what Niantic decided.

I also see that PDX is the three letter abbreviation for the Portland International Airport, at 7000 NE Airport Way, Portland, OR 97218. Doing a web search, I see that the new main terminal just opened, so it may be a little hard for reviewers to find any POIs inside, especially if the supporting photo isn’t the best.

Hi, welcome!

Usually with an appeal decision you get some text from the Niantic reviewer. Could you please share that, ideally together with the rest of your nomination if you are comfortable sharing that? No one on here will be able to help with an incorrect appeal response without seeing what actually happened.

You are welcome to post your full submission here
Both photos and all the text so we can see your nomination just as reviewers saw it.
When we write nominations we know all about the object and sometimes it is very easy to overlook something that a stranger will find puzzling……I’ve done this myself :roll_eyes: So we might be able to spot something you can’t.
And sometimes it remains a mystery as to why something has been rejected, but at least by posting it we can try to help.
