Watermarks

During reviewing I have come across a lot of photos with the same watermark.

Would it be possible for staff to send an email to that person to turn off the watermark when he/she is taking photos.

No! Bangs Table It should be straight permaban! Bangs table again

It would be great if getting a few back rejected for “Watermark” would tell the submitter the issue. But I think they only get a vague message about the picture being low quality or blurry or something like that. I don’t understand why the rejection reasons on the contribution aren’t just the items that reviewers selected.

“Watermark” wasn’t listed as a rejection reason found in this collection: Collection of new rejection reasons

Permaban for using a Samsung, definitely.

There is a message for watermarks if rejected for that reason. Low quality or blurry is a different rejection reason.

Good to know! It wasn’t mentioned on the list that was curated. Do you have an example showing it? Or did I miss it on that list? I did use Control F to search for it.

I did not check that list. I remember getting a nomination rejected for that reason. I don’t remember which one, so will have to comb through my submissions. Let me see if I can grab a screenshot.

Thank you!! We can tag Alice get it added to the list when you do. I am glad to learn this.

It may take some time. I’m commuting back from work. But I promise to find and share.

That was fast! @AliceWonder1511 can we get this rejection reason added to Collection of new rejection reasons ?

I had a similar experience myself. After tweeting about it, I connected with someone from that area and got in touch. They kindly removed the watermark from all the photos of that region. I hope this post connects with the person who made the request.

I think by watermark it means this type of watermark (according to the rejection criteria - Niantic Wayfarer).

It’s not quite the same watermark, but it’s the closest rejection reason I can find. I do agree that it should be rejected.
