The flip side of that is that Discourse can get a bit messy if I reply and quote.
Me alegra gratamente saber que eres de España! (Yo también lo soy)

Gracias! Me guardaré este hilo, primero esperar a nivel 37 (estoy a punto de llegar al 36) y a partir de ahà yo encantado me uno al grupo, que uso Telegram a diario y me gustan mucho estas cosas.

I think Iâve learned from these forums that âbarâ doesnât mean the same all over the world. Niantic employees often have an American understanding of certain words, and bar seems to be one of those. If you are nominating a place that is open to families, i wouldnât use the word âbarâ in the title or description, just to be safe it wonât be misinterpreted as a place where only adults go to consume alcohol.
What some people call Bar, I would call a Pub. But in some parts of the US (if not most / all), a Bar requires a person to be 21. So I didnât want to assume that there was or wasnât an entry requirement.
Thank you all for your response.
Iâve been at level 37 for a month now and before going on vacation to our small town next week, I sent a contribution to test, seeing that there was no pokestop corresponding to the square next to my house (a small square with bench and trees, good usual meeting point for people in the neighborhood). At first it was rejected, but after appealing it has been accepted and tonight I could see that it came out as pokestop in pokemon go.
Next week Iâm ready to send several requests from various places of relevance in the little town. Thank you all very much!
Last update. Over the past eight days, by reviewing wayspots in other nearby areas and making our own requests, my wife and I have learned a lot about the system.
During our walks we have tried to send requests for different places that seemed relevant to us, I share with you my conclusions:
- The village church was accepted almost automatically after one day, in the last few days I sent a request for another one in the outskirts of the village (small and old from the XVIIth century) taking advantage of the fact that I had obtained an improvement and it was also accepted. This kind of sites are of course the easiest to get accepted.
- Museums are easy to get acceptance but they have their conditions. Even so, it is possible that they will be voted as âtemporaryâ, in case they close a few months a year, even if they are very important cultural points for very small communities as in this case. Of the two we had, one was accepted immediately and the other was marked as âtemporaryâ. After an appeal in the latter case, we were accepted.
- The office of the local council rejected it by voting it as âtemporary/seasonalâ or ânot differentâ. Iâm thinking whether to complain or to send a photo showing only the town flag shield on the side of the door and change the description a bit.
- The handcrafted wooden sign pointing the way to the first museum has been rejected as âtemporaryâ even though it has been in existence as long as the museum, I think I will try to make an appeal.
- It is a small rural community where hardly any cars pass by instead of graffiti on the walls (something very common as a wayspot and which I see are easy to get accepted), there are drawings on the ground at various points of the roads in the village (within the village) that have been there for several years. As far as I can see, this case is very complicated to get accepted, even if we give context.
- The only wayspot that existed until we started making wayspot requests is a bridge, I tried to send a similar one and it was rejected in a short time. From what I have been able to research, these are points that unless you have a very clear historical context, it is difficult to get. It seems strange to me since the existing wayspot of the bridge, apart from the photo, had nothing particular in terms of description.
- I thought the water sources were reasonable requests, but these attempts were rejected.
- The two notice boards that could be found along the roads I considered relevant, but it seems that the wayspot reviewers do not.
- The main square of the village where the clock tower is had a longer vote but it was accepted and we have our first pokemon gym there!
- Instead of uploading the bar of the residentsâ association as a wayspot, I uploaded the residentsâ association plaque as a stop and it was accepted.
- Having already finished our holidays in that area, we have in review the second playground (my wife already got the first one accepted as a wayspot) and a rest area with benches and trees, I think that one way or another, we should be able to get these sites accepted.
Thank you all for your help. I hope my experience can help more people in the future.
EDIT: Screenshots from before we left. Before the start of the week, there was only one Pokepstop.
Thanks for the update on your wayfarer journeyâŠâŠ
And congratulations on those successes
If you want some feedback on some of those you are considering appealing we will be happy to comment.
Do remember to have a critical think about what you are submitting against the criteria of socialise, exercise and explore.
For example you mention the office of a local council. That sounds like a place they will go to but what they do there will be transactional. So it doesnât really make it a place to exercise or socialise. And if it just an administrative place itâs not really a place to explore.
There may be some historical items there so it might be a case of the office aspect is not what would work for wayfarer, but something else might.
But overall it sounds like you had a great time and what an improvement
Now whatâs next
