Trailmarker Removal Appeal

I want to appeal several removed trailmarkers

The following list are markers on the hiking network of the province of Noord-Brabant and some of them are part of a long distance hiking trail:

Name Location
Wandelroute 92 51.502220, 4.953201
Wandelroute 82 & Grenslandpad 51.501546, 4.946879
Wandelroute 04 & Grenslandpad 51.500937, 4.946406
Wandelroute 82 & Grenslandpad 51.501008, 4.945903
Wandelroute 82 51.500706, 4.944917
Wandelroute 04 & Grenslandpad 51.500558, 4.944474
Wandelroute 82 & Grenslandpad 51.500384, 4.943963
Wandelroute 82 & Grenslandpad 51.499491, 4.942274
Wandelroute 10 51.489555, 4.942644
Wandelroute 10 51.487378, 4.941681

And I also want to appeal the removal of a cycling trail marker that is part of the named cycling trail “Schelde-Rheinroute”: Fietsroute 65 & LF13b at 51.495536, 4.937776

Hi @Tokekkebo, Thanks for the appeal, Explorer. We have taken a second look and decided to restore the Wayspots in question.

Regards,

Oh cool, time to bring my giant list of those little green squares with yellow arrows out again since it seems we’re restoring those now.

Mock me all you want, @NianticAaron, but both LC and Oren are restoring those trail markers you disapprove of so much. Might want to give them a talking to.

Or, y’know, follow their example and make your players happy.

That’s not fair. I would never do that.

@NianticOren @NianticLC @NianticAtlas or any other mod/admin is part of the team that collectively makes these decisions.

How was I supposed to take that :heart: reaction then if not sarcastic mockery?

But very well, since it seems to be a team decision: why are these getting restored when so many identical markers haven’t? What’s the deciding factor here?

Or did the entire team drop the ball again like they did in this topic: Removed wayspot appeal - #12 by GeneralSecura

The way I see it, there are two outcomes here. Either these markers are to be accepted again since the entire team seemingly agreed on their restoration, or the entire team took another L and somehow managed to restore a bunch of wayspots that shouldn’t have been restored.

Why would you think that it was mockery? I liked your statement :slightly_smiling_face:

Maybe you two should discuss this further in a PM instead of in a public thread. The discussion seems to be a personal thing for GeneralSecura and I don’t believe the atmosphere it produces is constructive for this post.

A lot of small towns you only can explore playgrounds or churches. The trail markers are great additions to small communities.

To go really explore in nature and enjoy a nice trail instead of playground to playground.

A new topic whit criteria for cycyling routes would be very helpfull.

And what those critiria or rejection should be is up to the team.
Like part of offical route, no car access. Need to have footpath access, not only cycling road. Niantic can name it but make it clear.
Its now every time diffrent reason opinions.
I heard to many diffent things on trail makers what only make it confusing for everyone.
First those green yellow arrows where not good and now they better then a offical cycling trail whit number and arrow.

Would be nice to have a awnser instead of evertime being ignored or laughed ad.

For just trying to make some areas nicer safer and playable.

Sad to say the atmosphere is lost here on topic trail markers. While you expect help or guidance you get only thing removed in your area. For trying to help out!

Yes, I’m sure you’re not being facetious at all.:roll_eyes: Honestly not a good look for someone who’s supposed to interact with the community in a professional capacity, Aaron.

But I can just go copy-paste the list from an old topic real quick and you can prove your sincerity by restoring those trail markers.

Don’t worry, the entire Niantic team was apparently in favor of restoring your trail markers so I see no reason why they’d reverse their decision.
