I would like to fill out an abuse report. Against a troll who is deliberately ruining the wayfarer experience for guests who use wayfarer. for nominations
I wanna file a report against a niantic employe, that make abuse of his position to rejected nomination under abuse
In 3 minutes 23 rejected? Seems more like someone that wanna destroy the wayfarer experience, some other niantic members can look into this and take action.

Have many more ! I want that there are consequenties for this abuse of power just to troll wayfarer users
And Hello back to @elijustrying
Do i need to tag someone or how long it takes for a response?
You seem sure that Niantic has done this. Do your rejection emails state that Niantic rejected them, our team rejected them, or that the community rejected them? And have you received an educational/warning email from Niantic?
Dont know who but all whitin few minutes, stand Team. And no warning email or educatie
Maybe some are rejectedable, but most are good nominations safe acces meets one of the criteria. And never have had any rejected under abuse, and now 23 rejected under abuse.
Seems strange
It does seem to be strange indeed, never heard of an abusive chess table or seating area 
I think I have heard before that if there is an issue with a single nomination that was decided as abuse that sometimes Niantic will cancel everything that person has currently in queue/voting and give the reason as abuse - regardless of the actual status of the other nominations.
Do you think there could have been an issue with any of your nominations or edits that could have caused that kind of action? For example incorrect locations for the benefit of cells within Pokemon Go?
Thats really the only explanation I can think of for this? Other than there really was something wrong with each of these nominations that we cant see from what youve shared

Thank you explain a lot! Screenshot:
Its a bench where people can reach out to talk to someone because the have nobody to talk whit, and wanna share there story that the cant share whit some else, it also a meeting place in calm nature. And it also called prevent suĂŻcide bench. Where people can get a conversation whit a random person that wanna help. And let the person know. That even if they think there is nobody to talk to, there are still people that cares about them. Thats the Name 1k Z1E J3. I see you. And they use benched like this as meeting points to go sit or walk and have a conversation
Didt was sure thats why i filled in a appeal.
The bench was already there long before the added the plaque whit tekst on it, can be see as sensitve location, but also as great helpfull social meeting place, there are. Always people sit on it since its next to the swimming area.
Can the other ones be restored or placed back in voting? Do i need to resubmit them? Except this bench then.
Thank you!

Hello,
Ok so there is more to this.
I can see why that would be very frustrating.
I don’t know if you will get a member of the wayfarer team to respond since it is a non working week day. So you might have to wait.
If these were uploaded around the same time then it is possible for auto rejects to happen in very quick succession.
It is also possible to have quick decisions as this recent topic showed
Another occurrence that people report is when a number a quickly rejected and an email is received shortly after to give context.
I appreciate none of this helps with your sense of frustration as you don’t know why, but it might give wider ideas as to what has happened.
Hopefully either an email will arrive or a team member will at some point be able to shed light on this. Waiting will not be easy but I doubt posting messages here will move it along any quicker.

Its clear now that there is some bug whit the appeal, since that is also the first email received.
Can always submit the waypoint again.
Thank you
I saw you tagged me, not sure I can help much with the current frustration.
Part of those nominations should indeed not be rejected under abuse unless they were awfully misplaced. After the weekend a Niantic employee can hopefully help understand why this happened.
Regarding the appealed plaque on the bench, that is a plaque that is now installed on a lot of benches making it a very generic thing, so the plaque itself would not be a great wayspot. But I doubt that this triggers the rejection of the rest of your nominations.
Moet of the other nominations you show are fine, but without knowing the whole context it is hard to judge. For example a lot of mountainbike paths are not safe for pedestrians. And the first marker is likely a regular street sign.
But if you want more help you could PM me some examples with the location visible, I’ll gladly try to help out.

That’s not true.
Not true again
We have sent an email to you explaining exactly why these nominations were rejected.
Unfortunately, our team has decided not to accept your Wayspot nomination.
Our team found it did not meet the criteria required to be accepted and has been rejected. This decision could be because of the title, description, location, photo, or a combination.
You mean those emails?
No, we have sent another email with subject line “Message from Niantic”. Let me DM you the details.
