Theres alternate ways to prove location, we dont need a 3rd party source to do so, and the suggestion makes no sense considering the only rejection reason so far is from ML and you suggestion would not have helped in those cases.
Just received my Watsons Waypoint submission and was approved by the community. Upon learning the good news, I checked Pogo immediately and to my surprised, it is now a PokeStop.
A pharmacy?
The only people being paid by Niantic are the users with the “@Niantic” on their user name. The rest of the forum users are community members generally here to help the community.
Yes. Don’t get surprised coz if you live here in the Philippines, you would see a lot of pokestop which have no artistic, cultural, historical, or unique value. As long as one community unites, they can make every pokestop possible.
Ambassadors of PoGo receive something from Niantic. I know it personally coz a friend of mine is an ambassador. They get a package or some sort of things from Niantic in the US. You can also check TikTok. Tons of videos are readily available on the said sites.
Wayfarer Ambassadors are NOTHING like PoGo Community Ambassadors… and whatever they receive is nothing compared to the amount of work they do.
That’s an interesting take after the original intent of the thread. Your complaint is that nominations are being approved that explicitly met criteria to where nominations of yours are being approved that don’t meet criteria.
I’d like to be clear this isn’t an attack or insinuation of intentional wrongdoing, but the overlap of this and an abusive review circle is almost 1:1. And when Niantic reviews and catches that, even some of the people who made the nominations can get wrapped up in punishments. We saw that with an abuse situation not long ago.
I received a water bottle 5 years ago and a few stickers. That’s definitely not payment for my time here.
If I was getting paid, my wife wouldnt get bothered at the amount of time I spend on here 
You got it wrong. My complaint is that other nominations which do not clearly meet Niantic’s criteria are being approved, while my nominations which definitely worth more than the other approved waypoints are rejected by NIANTIC’s AI.
Why are so many ambassadors here are being so defensive. I’m just stating a fact. Compensation, whatever may be its form, is still compensation. You just be thankful coz the company gives something to you in return, while us, regular players, has to pay just to play the game and get nothing (tangible) in return
Your first post contained a complaint about a basketball court that everyone has agreed was eligible. The pharmacy honestly should have been rejected and you seem to acknowledge that, too.
The defending is because you are making a claim that we are bound to defend Niantic… but thats further from the truth… Wayfarer Ambassadors are Wayferers number one critics, we represent the community, not the company… you can search various topics where ambassadors are vocal about things we disagree with.
Like what you said, the basketcourt was approved by the Community. Why my nomination should not be approved? If you live here in the Philippines, you would see tons of different pokestops which does not have any value at all or do not make sense at all.
Attacking the ambassadors has become way too frequent on this forum. All they do is give their free time to help the rest of us, and then they get accused of taking payments, or doing Niantic’s bidding, or other such nonsense. And when I flag posts that are accusing of them, they get the blame for the posts being removed.
Please be respectful of the Wayfarer Ambassadors. If you think you can do a better job, I invite you to apply for the position the next time they are taking applications.
A basketball court is a great place to exercise.
What eligibility does a pharmacy meet?
Hey just a clarification here - none of the Niantic/Scopely games are pay to play. You can opt in to additional events by paying. But all of the games are free to download and play.
I’m not attacking anyone here. I’m just stating a fact which most, if not all, know. You can just search it online. I don’t to waste my precious time proving a known fact. You can ask the ambassadors yourself if you know someone. Coz here I know a few and they would say the same thing
But I am surprised, sorry
From all your shown pictures above I’d have said we could work on all expect the framed art work and the pharmacy. I see potential wayspots but the pharmacy haven’t been on my bingo card. That should sadly really have been rejected. It’s a generic business imo
