Hi Community, at first, I rated things based on my personal judgment and gave many positive ratings. As a result, my rating quickly rose to “Great”. However, as I became more familiar with the guidelines, I started rejecting more suggestions, which caused my rating to drop just as quickly. It seem…

You think posting these here would be spam? No, it wouldn’t be

Im in the same boat with my rating, was always great before this year’s edit challenge and since then its been going between good and great as if I’m right on the border I definitely agree that with the ML taking the obvious stuff, there’s just less agreement available on what’s left - the awful st…

This could serve as a good example. The title is inaccurate: The sign is about the historic building “Gasthaus Post” and mentions that Goethe stayed there. The description is also very poor. The photo of the surroundings at least includes the building, but there is a license plate on it. I don’t …

I can’t read this, but given its a plaque at a hotel, I think this is the kind of thing that often would be accepted. How inaccurate is the title? Is it really bad, or just not ideal? The license plate in the supporting photo is fine - its only the main photo that can’t have license plates and face…

good to know that there may be plates on the supporting photo. thanks for the info. The sign says something like This is the old building “Gasthof Post” where Goethe slept in 1970 on his travel to Venice. It’s just very inaccurate and the name has probably chosen to focus on Goethe instead of an …

Okay, for me that’s not a title that Id reject, because it talks about something interesting linked to the location But I can see what youre saying This would be one of the stronger nominations I get to see :laughing:

So if the nomination is focussed on the sign then you are reviewing the sign and not what is around it. Is the sign and the information it contains, in a safe location, is it distinct is it permanent etc. Is it interesting? Would you want to stop and read it?

If the title, description, and photo all feature the sign, then the nomination IS the sign. Make your judgement about the sign. I would consider this a historical marker and accept it

Same here. Sometimes I just think people in my area are not reading the guidelines at all or the community are just abusing and that’s it. For now I am just skipping bad nominations that I already saw similar Pokéstops in game and just rejecting the ones that are really absurd.

The more I stick to the guidelines, the faster my rating drops
