Just to confirm GR5 postboxes are now ok to submit?

If you think they meet criteria, then submit them. I don’t think I’ve ever said that they don’t in my view.

A few of mine have been a ML reject within 24 hours. Just reluctant to submit if it gets rejected again.

イギリスのほとんどの地域では一般的で大量にある郵便ポストがスポットになっています。なぜ大量にあるのにスポットになるのでしょうか。探検の地域について教えてくれる対象物または歴史的にユニークな物語それとも交流関係なのでしょうか。また、他の国ではどうなのか。

Hello and welcome,

There is a thread about this:

UK post boxes are issued with the insignia of the current king or queen, and some older boxes are rarer than others, such as those with King Edward VIII’s insignia, E8R, as his reign was short. There are many for Queen Elizabeth II, EIIR, but she reigned for 70 years and passed away in 2022.

In the US, our post boxes are generic, pretty much all the same. They even get replaced, or just removed altogether, from time to time. Most are also at generic chain businesses, like Walmart or supermarkets.

As you’re not from the UK, please do let me know if anything else should be added to the initial intro thread.

I tried to include as much relevant information as possible.

I’ll merge this topic and the replies into the main one about postboxes .

This postbox has been rejected ,I’ve tried many different wordings ect and still rejected it’s an unusual brick pillar type which you don’t see around . Any help with this would be great full , thank you , was not sure about what 3
Criteria I should have put it under as well.

  • A screenshot of your nomination, including rejection reasons if it has already been rejected
  • Include the title, description, both photos, and supplemental information
  • Copy and paste the title, description and supplemental so others can translate them
  • If you feel comfortable please share the location, as it is helpful (i.e. hidden duplicates), but you can mask it if you wish.

Hi,
There is already a dedicated topic so I will merge this there.
But the short answer is that ERll are not acceptable

Is this how we’re meant to conduct this forum? Necro any old thread we might recall from a past season?

If so, why are so many new threads entertained every day? Why aren’t they all just rolled together?

What is the principle that caused this post to be buried in an old, dead thread. What counter-principle has protected all the other things posted this October?

Perhaps you could re-title Indigenous Peoples’ Day as Holiday theme thread, so we don’t need to keep clogging the forum with a new thread each time some religious, historic, or cultural celebration arrives?

In this specific case I think it’s best to keep the UK postbox topic to one thread. On the old forum it got very messy with many different threads, and at least all the relevant information is in one place here.

Having popped home for a few days I thought I would nominate a few things. Some forty odd new POIs all hanging around blighty. And including two GR Cyphered Mail Boxes. See what I did there. Any how - they were banged through system at the speed of light.

What’s all the noise about I thought to myself? I did wonder what would happen for Emily and or the normal system seemed quite happy :slight_smile:

With the Challenge, I’ve done edits to some postboxes to make them more up to date/correct.

I’m guessing it was to avoid ML when it was rejecting them?


As they say in the A-Team, I love it when a plan comes together?

You’ll have to go back and edit your edit to the British spelling of Post box unfortunately.

As long as you don’t ask us to call them Letter Post Boxes… we should be on it!

I’ll leave that edit for someone else. Used all mine up for today.

I’ve done about 20 for the :robot:. There’s no way I’m doing more for a few candy and an incubator.

As the only UK Ingress player left you are going to be busy :smiling_face_with_tear:
