Today in my town (Fondettes in France), around 10 new pokestops arose. They all named «Steet corner (+names of the streets). No image. Do you know if it’s a bug ? Do you have any information on this subject ? [IMG_0294]

Are these powerspots or wayspots? Doesn’t it muddy the water, to add photos to power spots - making it impossible to tell what it is when you’re nominating?

They’re showing up as stops so it must look really odd in game to have no image, hence why people are adding them

So I’m a little late to this thread, and I haven’t read all ~100 comments above, but I wanted to give my thoughts on this experiment. First off, it’s good to try to help people in rural areas. This has long been a complaint about the wayfarer system as a whole, so action being taken is welcome. In …

[image] hankwolfman: I actually don’t find the bus stops objectionable in all honesty. My only problem with bus stops are the amounts, a local “block” close to me which is approx 650 metres has 4 bus stops. I have spoken elsewhere that I believe that too many wayspots can be bad for the game…

I am fully supportive of including bus stops as POIs that meet criteria. Most people have agreed to meet someone else at a bus stop. They are a gathering place.

[image] hankwolfman: They do facilitate exploration by bus, which is often vital for those in rural communities Agreed! Bus stops aren’t ineligible, and actually do link to criteria. Thats a huge step up from imports which have no link to criteria and are often at completely ineligible locati…

I still say de-risk it with an official WayFarer Logo. Then as / when eligible POIs are nominated they take precedence. The choice of a myriad of objects that call into question quality/variability with influencing both poor nominations and reviewing is worth avoiding. That does not mean phone boo…

I do not believe that the sheer number of bus stops should disqualify them. Conversely, I also do not believe that simply being a place where people gather automatically qualifies them. Not all bus stops are eligible, and not all are ineligible. What matters is what kind of bus stop it is. The rea…

[image] CrownFeather: believe that bus stops should not be granted eligibility unconditionally They havent been, we are just saying they are way more appropriate and have some link to the criteria, and no links to the really serious ineligible reasons such as SFPRP. Which compared to most imp…
