Hello Explorers! Recently I nominated a bunch of trail markers on a beautiful hiking trail in Ivano-Frankivs’ka oblast, Ukraine (link below).
Some of them were accepted automatically, but many were rejected by the community. The most popular rejection criteria is “Generic Business” which is not true, see below.
Some of them were already appealed successfully:
Here is the text of the appeal, it is relevant for all nominations:
Route is FREE, so cannot be classified as a Generic Business. Route map and details are publicly available via the link: СХІДНІ ҐОРҐАНИ: ПАНОРАМНИЙ - All seasons resort Bukovel. Welcome to the Heart of the Carpathians!. It is a great place to explore and exercise. Route is safe and has a mobile network, GPS (current nomination is a confirmation) and trail markers, which is an important part of a route so you do not need a guide and do not get lost.

Request: Considering the appeal limit it will cost me at least 3-4 months of the appeal process. Based on several successful appeals already, a similar style of nominations and being a part of a single hiking trail, it is safe to assume that the rest of the nominations will be approved too. Please consider the possibility to mass-appeal, thank you.
