Pokestop got unaccepted and another one is in voting it means it will be accepted right?

Each nomination is reviewed on its own merits. Except in the case where abuse is detected, when Niantic may decide to reject all your pending nominations.

Acceptance depends on a lot of things:

  • The object being submitted is eligible to be a wayspot
  • The photo shows the object and what it is
  • The photo is good quality, no defects, taken by the submitter not from the web
  • The title is at least acceptable
  • The description is at least acceptable
  • It is safely accessible. not on SFPRP, not on school ground or sensitive location
  • The location is correct
  • Reviewers can be confident that the object is at the submission location

The “Jargaha Spot” that was rejected, which is a photo of a tree, was rejected because a tree is not an eligible object (except for very special trees, which generally have a plaque or a sign, which would make for an easier submission).

The “Jargaha Spot” in voting is an eligible location (I remember finding it on the map), is safe and accessible, and on streetview, so as long as the description is OK, it should get accepted. There are no guarantees!

I find that accepting the pokestop is so hard tired of this

It’s not as bad as I have made it sound!

Submitting wayspots is hard at first, but once you get a couple accepted, it makes a lot more sense and you can see past all the possible rejection reasons.

That Jargaha spot with the seating, for example, instantly ticks all the boxes. All you need is a decent photo, decent title, decent description and some support information. This can seem like a lot at first, but it does get easier.

Going for the easy wins first, like this one (still not guaranteed!), builds confidence. Please don’t give up - come here for advice to avoid submitting things that are almost certain to get rejected
