Welcome to the forum @ToncekHC

There should be no way for anyone to know that these are your nominations. How do you think they know this?

I assumed that text highlighted in red said “Duplicate” since there was no extra reason given, but the translation is saying “Not Accepted”. If it is marked “Duplicate” you can use the toggle in the nomination map screen for Pokemon Go to see the other Wayspots not being used for that game. Ingress doesn’t have this feature. The toggle only works when you are right at the location and looks like this:

Hello, sometimes i see reasons for not accepting sometimes yes, here is reason , nesprávné umístění, i saw maps and this wayspot is not in any niantic game.

And well actually there is way , because i can se my trainer name at screen 2 and my homies from town too


A trainer name shows on Showcase (though you can switch this off for Pokémon GO in Wayfarer settings) but people don’t see this during review.

Unless you told someone or put your name in supporting information (don’t do this) there’s no way of knowing who submitted it.

Hello and welcome to the forum @ToncekHC!
I translated the words “nesprávné umístění” and I think it wants to refer to the “inaccurate location” rejection. That means that the reviewers weren’t able to find the wayspot in the map while reviewing. For those cases you need to make sure your supporting photo shows the object you are nominating and the surrounding area, so if the Street View is old they will be able to find it. Also, you can use the supporting information to explain how to find it while reviewing, pointing maybe some objects that you show in your supporting photo so it will help the reviewers to find it.

Based on my discussions with a few other nominators, there appears to be someone currenctly voting in this area who can likely single-handedly approve or reject submissions. It started happening around August 13 and continues to this day. I don’t know if it’s some sort of abuse, but I would generally hold off on nominations for now (unless approved by Emily). A lot of rejections by this person and not enough appeals for all of them.

While you are correct in saying the ML may accept with a single vote, no member of the community has that power.

We do not know the precise rules for how many explorers of Excellent, Good or Fair standing are required to reach a consensus, but it must certainly take a least three votes, and probably more than that.

I suppose a single bad actor could break a few ties, but eventually their standing would drop to Poor if they kept rejecting things that the other voters accepted.

No, this is not ML, all of the emails say “community”. An example: A nomination has spent a month in queue, something in the same cell gets rejected. Now this nomination (that already passed ML check) is eligible for voting and is decided in 2 minutes by the “community”. It’s a completely new phenomenon, we haven’t witnessed something like this before. And even if this person were to vote correctly based on criteria, it’s still extremely demotivating and makes voting by other people totally pointless.

So, yesterday i got 13 rejected nomination (2 accepted) but something is weird, normally i have one decision per 2 days not 15 in one, most of declined are with reason , Dočasné/sezónní nebo nerozlišené, . Im not sure if iphone 15 plus make bad photo but if that guy who was rejecting mine nominations had , nerozlišené, on his mind. Then ffs i need more than 2 appeals per 3 months :joy:. Im trying make photos what fit nicely in pokestop circle and arent cut … and spam wayfarer with same nominations with multiple accounts is something what i dont want do :confused: thank you guys for your reactions and have nice day :slight_smile:
