I’m getting further away from Boston now 
. I had one in lynn not long ago but most of my bonus location reviews today have been in worcester, gloucester and rhode island (providence area). My first review after this was in south boston though
I had been planning to give an update tomorrow (one week after @BlameJamal started the movement) on my own contributions, but since you asked:
- Start: 28 pending (10 voting, 18 queue). Oldest in voting: 7+ weeks
- Today: 28 pending, 0 resolved (12 voting, 16 queue). Oldest in voting: 8+ weeks
Thanks, everyone, who is helping with this! I truly appreciate it and will provide weekly updates going forward.

My nominations are on both sides of I-95. I’m not noticing any difference in how my queue is processed. My nominations in Wellfleet do seem to go faster, I have nothing pending there currently.
I suppose its inevitable that it hasnt moved much yet- there’s only so many reviews any of us can help with, but lets hope it does start to move
I’m seeing quite a few things that I’m needing to reject, sadly, like this example which would have been fine with a good description

Ive done a few hundred since changing my location. Prob 70% are not from my immediate area. Ive seens some really solid submissions but also a lot of ones that done meet criteria or are really low quality so wondering if the queue is just backed up with a lot of garbage & the ML is just passing it off to reviewers thats then slowing down good submissions from moving forward. Glad it seems at least some of the things stuck in the queue are working their way into voting!

We have had an issue with extraordinarily low-quality Wayspots being submitted in the suburb city of Quincy. Maybe 1-in-10 submissions qualify. We worked with some of them to try and improve their nomination quality, but not everyone is active in these communities.
This was down in Rhode Island though, which is another beast in itself. Last year a majority of “Boston” reviews took place there.

Hello Aaron, I would also like for my bonus location to be reset so I can help the community. Reviewing in Australia is getting boring

Thanks for willing to help. Unfortunately, we have frozen the Hometown/Bonus Location resets due to the Wayfarer Challenge in Brazil. Please let us know if you wish to reset it to Boston after the event and I’ll be glad to help. ,

I don’t think things will get better in Boston. (unless you like the “report” button)
There is something to report every day. Either there is something wrong with submissions or existing wayspots are in the wrong place, for example.
If you have examples I’m happy to try and fix. The location edits I’ve submitted on the map either get rejected by Niantic or are already corrected by others. I don’t think many people in our PoGO community are submitting anymore but it’s worth addressing.
This week’s update:
- Wk 1: 28 pending (10 voting, 18 queue). Longest voting: 7+ weeks
- Wk 2: 28 pending, 0 resolved (12 voting, 16 queue). Longest voting: 8+ weeks
- Wk 3: 33 pending, 0 resolved (14 voting, 19 queue, 5 new). Longest voting: 9+ weeks

Have you earned upgrades in these three weeks?
I have a bunch of upgrades. I’m deliberately not using them so that I can provide this data about the Boston queue. I’ve also excluded anything resolved by eMiLy so that it’s just community data.
I didn’t mean to ask that. I wanted to know if you have received upgrades in the last three weeks? That would mean that you are getting agreements and nominations are getting resolved. I have earned upgrades last week but not all my reviews are from Boston.
Oh sorry! No new upgrades.
That seems to be an issue. How many reviews did you do? Just to understand the extent of the issue.
None, I stopped reviewing on 11/5. I didn’t want to be measuring the data and affecting it at the same time.
Ohh, not the answer I was hoping for. Why complain if you yourself are not reviewing? I had changed my bonus location to Boston to help. But if locals are not reviewing, I don’t think I should be bothered.
