State Survey Markers have a lot to answer for… Anything in the ground is nominated. This surface fitting is v similar to a state permanent marker. It is a fire hydrant in NSW.
IT is also in a driveway.
In case anyone is interested…This is the hydrant. Note only the letter H… It has no numbers on it.
Then there are primary markers that indicate where the hydrant is.. Often found on light poles or telegraph poles..
They will have another letter and numbers - they indicate where the hydrant is in metres and size of fitting in millimetres. For example. Letter H. Two sets of numbers. Then Letter P. That is saying Hydrant on path.
If there was a black line in middle of marker. That indicates is located across the road.
Any how I rejected it.

Fire hydrants aren’t eligible as they may obstruct emergency services, especially for a fire engine that may have to hook up to it. They’re also infrastructure these days, so pretty indistinct, and in a driveway makes it unsafe, but still I’d reject for obstructing emergency services.

Why was this moved to review support. It is notifying people how people fake stuff or abuse nomination not a review question
It is all a comment on the dreadful situation where Niantic still allows state survey marks to exist and still be nominated and accepted. And the sheer presence of the massive over bearing number of these in games encourages even enables people to nominate anything stuck in the ground.
Hi @TheDoctorBird
Thanks for sharing your feedback on the moderation action I did, appreciate it as I’m still learning.
I’ve moved your topic because you asked ‘how to reject this’ and to give other users the chance to find this detail aspect of hydrants/survey marker while scrolling through the category. It was a ‘clean up’ act.
My learning lesson out of this experience:
It doesn’t matter how old a thread will be, it is the better way to give a short statement about moderation actions.

To be fair it can be used by others for review clarification so to be fair. You are not wrong either. I was having a bad day 
Happy Easter if that is your thing
