Submitted " Lilburn Community Garden - Garden Box A", appealed, got approved. Submitted very similar other submissions and there is no appeal button despite the SAME type being appealed and approved.
Submitted " Lilburn Community Garden - Community Meeting Chair Circle" and gets “Accessing the submission may be unsafe or it may not be publicly accessible” which is categorically false and untrue and I have no room to submit an appeal.
Im convinced reviewers will literally rush thru reviews and just put obviously false reasons why just to get through them… so its a crap shoot if something gets approved.
I love putting in submissions but its insanely frustrating with the inconsistencies and no ability to appeal another entry once an appeal was approved… What is with that? I can fully understand one appeal at a time but you should be able to appeal once the entry is turned down after appeal or approved… why does it just disappear? We work hard enough to get them in, don’t take that ability away, especially since its clear most reviewers are just ramming thru them with false negative entries… happens way too much.
Hello @LonkFromATL
I am going to move this to nomination support so that we can see what the issues might be and assist.
Could you provide some details about the the rejected submissions please.
If possible the GPS coordinates and photos /text.
One quick point you have 2 appeal slots and they refresh every 15 days.
Hey! Any chance you’re coming to the PGO Community Celebration this weekend? Stop by the Wayfarer table and we can have a chat about these issues!
I submit this entry. Appeal and gets accepted:
By the time its accepted, I can’t go back to appeal other similar submissions that are denied because “This submission was declined by Niantic’s automated process for not adhering to Wayfarer criteria” which is false and wrong since my appeal for the above approved. But I have no way to submit an appeal for the others… why is the appeal button just gone? I can understand one appeal at a time… but once that appeal process is done, you should be able to appeal another… but now I have to go back and re-submit as a new entry again?
Sample of a “not accepted” submission because “This submission was declined by Niantic’s automated process for not adhering to Wayfarer criteria”… which again we know is incorrect because the above appeal was accepted…so… that tells me AI /software that is doing this is not correctly being applied to submissions… at the very least fix the appeal ability to be opened back up after an appeal process is done…
You use an appeal then have to wait 15 days for button to appear. Then you can use it again.
I would think that only one Wayspot should represent the garden, not individual plots. I hope you are not submitting every box in the community garden.
If it matters to you in prioritizing using your appeals, nothing else can become a pokestop in this area. The cells are occupied.
