looking for clarification if pools in apartment complexes are valid.

This is another area where we really need a proper official explanation, so much confusion and speculation is caused by Niantic’s refusal to effectively communicate what they want from us. No effort to correct assumptions or indicate if previous guidance from years ago still applies. The same questi…

[image] KaptainSpikey: indicate if previous guidance from years ago still applies I think probably with the new forum and deleting everything from the old one, it doesn’t? Who knows really! I feel quite strongly that the published criteria should be our only guide and that if Niantic want u…

I believe the use of “community” in the pool criteria is used to mean any type of community that is eligible, and apartments/subdivisions are communities, albeit smaller ones. Many other places were eligible at apartments/subdivisions, such as playgrounds, dog parks, picnic areas, etc, but there wa…

I wish niantic would make an official statement on the matter… All community pools get rejected in my area and it would take years worth of appeals to try and get them all in… if there was an official statement proving for certain pools in apartment complexes are eligible a link to that statement co…
