Please help! Why are these accepted pokestops removed from the game? The same trailmarkers around these are not removed, but only my markers are removed. Why??

Do I understand correctly that you would like these to be reinstated?
It would help your case if you can supply some evidence about the trail that these markers are acting as anchor points for. For example a website for the route.
In short you need to make a case.
Make the best case you can make with pictures of the area showing the wayspots and why it still meets criteria ar this time.
I do want to note that these âFietsknooppuntenâ as how you call them in your nominations is not correct. This is a route marker for route (number) not a âknooppuntâ because those have other signs. The team finds these basic route markers in The Netherlands not eligible though.
The community reviewers can make mistakes first of all, we are all humans. Secondly, the team recently posted a clear statement that these were not acceptable, I donât know if they made an official statement before but not in my knowlegde. So most people donât even know that these are not eligible.
There was a mistake in my post, I corrected it, Not acceptable instead of acceptable. These route markers are just not eligible through what I know from a official statement from the team. When I come across these with âKnooppuntâ in the name I reject them for wrong title and wrong description.
I am not from the team. All team members have Niantic in their names. I reject them, because usually they include âknooppuntâ in the name when it is a route marker just like yours, which is wrong title (and description sometimes). And because of the official statement from the team.
I am very confused about these markers and am glad I donât have these to review here. I asked the team if they could explain the ones that are not eligible, and this was the response:
the team that reviewed has nothing to do and just goes and removes all my routemarkers that were already accepted and put into play. i think there is something behind this. the other markers in the area remained, only all my route trails were removed.
We have given tips on how to make the best case with your appeal, and we have given the explaination on these route markers. This is the best we can do.
For now all we can do is leave this to team and wait for their response.
Not being in the area I can only try and fit the process from your location to the one we have in the UK.
Not understanding the signs I assume it is something to do with the 2 types we have in the UK.
We have standard Cycle Paths which are separate from the Road and the Cycle Lanes that are just white lines painted on the road. These are just infrastructure trying to keep cyclist and motorists separate.
The others are trails, these are usually away from the roads (with short bits on the road just to connect them). Commonly these will use the same as walking Trails. The big difference to spot is these will usually have a trail name (search Tissington Trail, Trans Penine Trail etc).
This is just an opinion of what might be the case with my minimal knowledge of the system in your location.
I dunno, Iâm just tired of it at this point. There are still thousands of those signs out there and I see new ones pop up all the time, so clearly the playerbase is fine with them and approves them when reviewing, but Niantic still insists on fighting us every step of the way and telling us how our own cycling infrastructure works.
Again, just speculation but the google translation of âcycle route network rotterdam regionâ does make it sound like the âCycle Pathsâ I described above.
A Trail is more likely to be used to explore, go somewhere you may not have been before.
This does sound like it is just infrastructure to get you to other parts of the city by bike safely. Possible commonly used by people that cycle to work doing the same route daily.
Apologies if my assumptions are incorrect but if not I can see why Niantic are rejecting.
