I hope this isn’t the final answer: “too bad for you.” Maybe Niantic can pull these and decide them. Maybe they can send them to an even wider set of reviewers.
It would be nice to help them out, and Im sure there are other places with some kind of issue?
Would be cool to do a challenge where we get some big wins in terms of getting decisions, and it might also help us see what’s being submitted there and help the few people who are wayfarering there with ideas? and at least a clean slate so their nominations can come to the top of the queue again…
I am sure there is a lot of scope to add other areas if we “finish” so the challenge continues
Your situation is very different though, your region has a lot of Reviewers but also a lot of submitters, so it takes a while for reviewers to even see your nomination (even if it’s not bugged). I doubt that the staff will do the same exception for you but let’s see what they decide on.
I don’t think that is true that they hate any particular region or its inhabitants. I think it is just hard to make the algorithms work where there aren’t many explorers. I know that in the past Niantic has even added wayspots to areas through other databases just so people can play there. Please continue to report the issues you are having on the forum so that Niantic can be aware. They have to understand that there is a problem before they can address correcting it.
I assume people have submitted the mosques and they’re still just stuck waiting for reviewers? that really sucks for you.I hope there are improvements soon
Thats because thats what people submit. Waypoints inside hotels are completely eligible. You can help by submitting the mosques.
Thats just not a fair comparison. Wayfarer up until very recently was almost completely user driven. So it’s not that Niantic doesnt care… its that theres not enough users to self sustain. Now with ML, it should really help out getting some waypoints through faster.
