I’ve got my nomination accepted on 16th of September. I’ve waited long enough but in no games my Wayspot hadn’t appeared.
I’ve checked my submission, also checked cells, everything should’ve be fine.
GPS coordinates for my nomination are (41.6323533, 41.6139864), there is free space for new Wayspot.
Could you please help to understand what could go wrong?
We have noticed that Niantic has been removing similar graffiti. I can’t tell you if this was some kind of internal process, or if it was seen as a nearby Wayspot during review and reported for removal that way.
I am not very familiar with street art where I live, but this doesn’t seem to be up to the standards shown in the clarification:
I know this is a difficult change if this kind of art has been generally accepted in your area in the past.
(I confirmed I could not see this on iitc. I do not have the Wayfarer app, so can’t check if it exists there.)
Well I would be less surprised if it would’ve appear first and then in some time it would’ve been removed.
I’m more shocked that it was accepted and never appeared
Right. I am glad you posted here. I tried to offer explanations of ways it could have been removed before ever appearing. Hopefully staff will confirm if it was removed or if there actually is a bug keeping it from appearing.
@moscowtrainer have you tried checking in the nomination map screen with the pogo toggle on to see if it exists as an exclamation point (!) there? You have to be right at the site for that to work.
When you make a nomination in Pokemon Go, you can turn on this toggle at the bottom left in the map screen and it will show you all Wayspots, whether used in Pokemon Go or not.
But it only works over a very short range, so you have to be right there to check. At least that would let you know if the Wayspot is not there or if it is just a bug with syncing into the games.
Also, a general word of advice. Be careful about describing things as new. If this had gone live in the game, it could be there for years. It’s only “new” for a brief period of time.
There really needs to be a Wayfarer map intended for everyone to use. That would have answered this question without needing to post here. TY @holdthebeer and @elijustrying for sharing that.
Reviewers moving the nomination in voting explanation does not usually occur to me, since submitting something where it isn’t is abuse, and something I don’t do. I should have been alerted by the “there is free space” comment, but I assume the best from people.
