Wayfarer Roadmap 2025/2026 - Discussion

Yes please. I really hope it will be customisable in a similar vein to PogoMap.Info so that there is the option to add Level 14 and Level 17 S2 cell boundaries to the map.

I’m hoping to see some improvement to the appeals process. Out of 50 approvals this year, 11 needed to be appealed in order to be approved and I have plenty more waiting because of the limit. It seems like something in the current process is not working if 20% of approvals must first be appealed in order to be approved. This creates a bottleneck.

This doesn’t sound like a problem with the appeals process to me. It sounds like a problem with the review process if your appeals are being accepted. Are the rejections coming from the ā€œautomated processā€ or the community? I do believe there is a huge gap in understanding of criteria by the community that needs to be addressed.

Both.

The excessive number of Wayspots in cities is abnormal.

When reviewing submissions, it seems like only big cities get approved, while rural areas struggle to get their applications accepted.

Given the current situation where deletions by suspicious accounts are demoralizing,

I think if top-tier accounts that understand the criteria

could obtain the right to resubmit rejected applications for S2LV10 bottom-tier domestic rural areas by editing them,

it might uncover hidden tourist spots in that country. What do you think?

It must be tough for Niantic employees to pull them out too, right?

There are quite a few points in there :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
I’m curious about why you think it is easier to get things accepted in urban areas as opposed to true rural areas?
I have no sense about acceptance rates. If have 5 things eligible in a village ands all are nominated and accepted it is 100% success. I might have 20 eligible in an urban area but only 15 are accepted that’s a lower success rate at 75%.

Could you explain this please I am keen to understand more.

These are both curious statements.

Rural areas do not struggle to get accepted wayspots - trainers might struggle to find eligible things to submit and make sub-standard submissions which get rejected, but that isn’t because they are ā€œrural areasā€ - it’s because they are sub-standard submissions which don’t meet criteria or eligibility.

The statement about deletions definitely needs more explanation.

Hi there, first time posting on the forum so do let me know if I’m responding in the wrong thread (or doing other things wrong haha).

I found a post submitted(?) to the most recent AMA related to your question CrownFeather, but I think it was never formatted correctly and thus not actually included in the voting/AMA. Will we get more nominations per day
I wasn’t able to find any replies to these questions elsewhere either. Has there been any clarification on the Tiered Contribution Limits? Or is someone able to provide (tentative) answers?

Thanks in advance for the help y’all!

Welcome to the forum!

You’re definitely in the right place, but as far as I can tell the latest update on the subject is still what is in the post at the top. Hopefully there’s further detail at some point soon :slight_smile:

Penso che non ci siamo aggiornamenti ancora in corso se no li avrebbero detti ma volevo sapere da voi (magari puo aiutare chi ci lavora) delle modifiche che vorranno apportare secondo voi quali sono le più importanti che dovrebbero uscire per prime (farei un sondaggio ma non so farlo se qualcuno fosse interessato alla domanda e vorrebbe farlo sarei molto felice di rispondere) Per me personalmente la prima che vorrei avere (come penso molti di voi) sarebbe la mappa, la seconda cosa la distanza aumentata per gli invii, la terza risoluzione automatica migliorata (magari intende che emily ritorna ad approvare le cose oltre che a negarle) e quarta ma perche mi piace vedere le statistiche degli altri giocatori la classifica regionale e globale. E voi???

Highly doubt we will get periodic updates but the poll option can be found at the (+) editor window.
