Nomination question

Hi
Hey,

I submitted a Pokestopnomination. At first, it was in the queue, but now it says ‘ is being evaluated’ What does this mean exactly, and what does it involve?

Another nomination moved from the queue directly to the voting phase, but Ive never seen the status ‘ being evaluated’


before.

Does anyone know more about this?

It just means your nomination has been flagged for Niantic to do a manual review. Doesn’t necessarily mean you have done anything wrong. Your nomination may have certain key words such as “School” or “Private” (although I don’t know this for sure) and Niantic just want to make sure it doesn’t fall into certain category that could / should be rejected.

It may be completely innocent and your nomination is too awesome for public consumption.

the niantic balloon indicates that this is under in-house review instead of the community. this is nothing to worry about. when mine go into internal review, i usually get a faster decision than if i leave it to the community without an upgrade.

Thank you guys! You helped me so much.
I hope it will go faster now niantic is doing it haha.

Just one thing to bear in mind, a nomination that is being reviewed by Niantic may end up going back into general community voting or back into your queue stack. So it is possible to get a Niantic approval / rejection, but it could go back to your queue / general community voting.

Yep, what PidgeySlayer said happens to me when i submit a lot of nominations on the same day. It’s like they poke their head in to say, “Hey whacha doin’?” And when they see it’s all just normal stuff, they go, “Carry on.”

I see. Thank you!

I only submitted 1 stop on that day. And 1 stop a few days before. Thats it. We will see with time what will happen! I hope something good haha.

Well you where right it did go back to the normal waiting line. But its so weird niantic gived me a warning

So weird why is it back in the waiting line then… and the stop was just a normal nomination. Idk why its a warning. I have never got that. It was just a photo of a vegtable’s logo

I am not sure if we should ask for a screenshot of the full nomination or defer to Niantic Staff for a possible reason for the warning.

Yes i know i wont drop it here. It was just a normal nomination nothing crazy… it also said that i will get a email from niantic why in my last screenshot. But i dont have any email from niantic very weird also weird that the nomination is back in the waiting line and not dislined or something but oke. Just wanted to inform you guys

The two may be unrelated. If you did not receive the emails explaining the warning, possibly staff could start a dm with you.

Where dm? But that is weird i only nominated a spot. Nothing more

I said that poorly. I meant that whatever you got the warning for, it was probably not this nomination, since it was allowed back into the review pool. They may have pulled that one to check for any other issues if they had found something else. I hope staff will be in touch with you soon.

You should have received an email explaining the warning and the infraction that caused it. Please refer to your inbox for more details.

The nomination that caused this warning has been rejected.

I did check my email and spam box buy there is no email at all… the nomination is also back in the waiting line

And when I log in the wayfire to check my nominations i get this pop up message.

This is a formal warning regarding your Wayfarer activity. One or more of your recent actions violate our Wayfarer criteria and/or Niantics player guidelines. Please review the email we sent you for more details.

Take some time to go through these resources to ensure that your future contributions and reviews meet our standards:

Wayfarer Criteria

Niantic Player Guidelines

Repeated violations will result in stricter consequences, such as temporary suspension or permanent removal from Wayfarer.

Appeal Option: If you believe this warning was issued unfairly, you may submit an appeal through our form.

But i dont have any email still haha. It is all sooo weird… one of my nominations is in the voting fase and one is now in the waiting line ( the one i talked about )

Just a random thought. I’m assuming your Google / Apple / Facebook account is linked to your Niantic Game account. Did you have a different email address associated to your account?

Mental Note: Stop pre-empting what others are going to say

Have you used any other email for any other niantic game? Recently or in the distant past?
On your contributions page when you look at your nominations have any of them got rejected next to it?

Edit me too @P1dg3ySlayer :sunglasses:
