A slightly different question â maybe someone can answer this for me:
Are only UK postboxes considered good waypoint suggestions, or does the same apply worldwide, meaning that regional postboxes can also be submitted as waypoint suggestions?
There may be other countries where postboxes are considered to meet social/exploration criteria, but itâs actually unlikely. There is something remarkable about the postboxes in the UK and how they are perceived.
For an easy comparison, the postboxes in the US are infrastructure, not eligible. (The newer postboxes in the UK are also not eligible as not worthy of exploration.)

Resubmit, put on hold, and wait.. sooner or later, emily will be down again, and then you unhold and upgrade ))
I gave up on my George VI postbox submission in the end. Been seeing lots of people on Facebook saying they got their accounts banned for stop submissions so decided itâs not worth the risk.

People on social media often wonât tell the whole story so I wouldnât put any stock in to what they say regarding being suspended for what they say are âgoodâ submissions.
A King George VI post box should be fine, can you share your nomination here?

I wouldnt count your chickens too soon. You wonât get banned for a non accepted stop. Do pm me or make a post with your submissions so we can all have a gander at your woes.
Drac.
I find it weird. I have only done 4 postboxes and all were accepted. Two pillar and two wall. Having seen those rejected for others I am not sure of the difference. Save timing. Cannot remember if Emily was going full bore though.
Clearly shows the system is weird. I have a new one and will try that and see what happens
I saw this one the other day. Would have been totally good to have nominated this 
Now to spot an all black one 
The Gold boxes are an easy accept due to their rarity with only 1 for each UK Gold Medal winner in the 2012 Olympics.
I think the black ones or privately owned boxes that people have purchased either as ornaments or to use as their own box when receiving mail. They can also be when the Royal Mail plan to remove it but local rejection stops this (in the same way that there are still lots of public phone boxes that no longer have the phone installed). This is to make it obvious that your mail will not be collected from this box.
Unless the other criteria is met such as pre ERII I think the black boxes would be a harder sell.
Just google mapped the Lenny Henry one and it has definitely returned to red.
Now that is sad.
If anyone wants to be really sad at the poor quality take of a postbox, this one is one of mine.
Queen Victoria Postbox found in Harrow. Surprised nobody had submitted it before.
I donât think Royal Mail in the 19C were worried about the traffic levels of today to be fair.

There was less traffic but the roads were overflowing with horse sh*t. The internal combustion engine was a Godsend..
