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. [1] [2]

I’ve never ever read such a nice request :purple_heart: Thank you for your post

No! Bangs Table It should be straight permaban! Bangs table again (And yes, I am only kidding)

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 …

Permaban for using a Samsung, definitely.

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.

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

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 ). [08dfd666-ba8c-4412-ac11-5fd106640892] 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.

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