I’m surprised this got accepted as it is just infrastructure and not something that meets Social/Exploration/Exercise criteria, but it also doesn’t meet removal criteria.

It is not unsafe to access for pedestrians. Being near a parking space does not inherently make something unsafe. This is in the grass verge and definitely accessible via the pavement

Hey,

I tried reporting the same location via the web form, it has now been removed.

You can find the web form here:

You can ignore for such cases, that it says it would be for Property Owners only.

Interesting. There was a question yesterday about what the removal criteria was. I agree this doesn’t meet acceptance criteria as it is generic infrastructure, but it’s hard to work out what the removal criteria is.

Do you think is it possible the initial review only evaluated the aspect of safe pedestrian access?

With the item 100% not meeting criteria (no grey area here) but still being accepted maybe the “Accepted through Abuse” clause got it removed on the 2nd attempt.

Still can’t answer why it wasn’t removed with the 1st request.

As you suggest, if we request a removal for 1 reason that they don’t agree with is it automatically refused even though it should obviously be removed for another reason?

Suppose the other option is the 1st refusal was an error…

What should you report?

[…]

Fake nominations or criteria issues:

  • The wayspots/nominations that do not exist in the location or blatantly do not match our eligibility or acceptance criterias

Perhaps?

With some of the situations we have been seeing posted about here, I wouldn’t be surprised if the removal were overturned. Although I completely agree that it should never have been accepted.

Thanks for the appeal, @rawwrs! We have already retired the Wayspot in question, and you should see the changes reflected soon.
