Trail Markers:- Valid if no longer present

Just a quick question here there’s no right or wrong answers in my eyes as I follow plenty of trail markers in my local area while exploring some that are on the game maps but no longer present or some that are decaying in reality but still there.

However:-

I recently came across a submission of a trail marker with nothing but an arrow on it,no location details gives me a red flag feeling and some titles and descriptions have an external weblink which times out the review process if looked at so another red flag for me.

However this just gave me a giggle in the supporting documentation which felt like a “demand for approval” but I ended up skipping.

What do others think for curiosity reasons.

This all looks and sounds very U.K. like.
Interesting that they know some changes like the clarifications on criteria but not that it is no longer a star system for reviewing :thinking:
Since the information in the supporting is just about helping you, I tend to just ignore as I am perfectly capable of doing so.

Also there is no problem going to another website. I usually just open in a new tab. You have 20 mins to review.

I wonder how old the review was? Or maybe they heard about the changes for trails but havent reviewed in a long time.

Either way I ignore supporting info unless I need to read it, if its useless it doesn’t make me rate things more harshly

Oh how correct you are it is U.K Based but way to far away from my location,I think I’ve only seen 3 not submitted by myself for my local area,I wish I could but them on hold,copy the address to investigate (if localish),then return with my own evidence the one I saw the other day was a bench in a field next to a time capsule in the ground but they wanted the bench approved.

How abrupt the supporting information was I thought it must be one of the red team on Pokémon Go as they try hard to claim all areas by me.

Ingress will always be my one true home,but pogo is went I want to relax nowadays as I sick of planting flowers and beating up mushrooms for days.

I like to read all aspects of a submission,but some of them are just coming through as a photo and thats it no title,description,location and I hate to be the bad guy and reject things but the whole idea in my eyes is if you want this waypoint live then put some effort in please otherwise in the famous words from a Little Britain sketch then “computer says no”
