Waystops not being Accepted

Lol when you tag me and I get an email sure! @cyndiepooh

I agree it tends to be judgement calls, I just tend to find your stance unusual (not wrong as you said judgement) because most people are against all benches as anchor for something else eligible or for all benches as something else eligible. You tend to be unusual because you mix-match benches as bench anchor for “Eligible View” yes but benches as anchor for “Specific spot on Eligible Trail” no.

@NianticTintino

Benches (with or without plaques) can encourage exploration if they are an anchor at a significant point such as a scenic viewpoint.

I will say admit to a fairly fundamental question. Are Criteria Clarifications supposed to be mixed and matched and combined?

@NianticTintino

Trails that encourage following a specific official route by walking are great places to be social, exercise, and explore - the trail is the interesting feature. Trail markers are tangible anchor points that define the route of the trail on the Wayfarer map. A trail marker itself need not be an interesting object but its function on the trail should be unique to that location.

I am mixing and matching from the 2 clarifications. Trail Markers Clarification + Benches Clarification = My logic. Whether I am supposed to do that or not, no idea.

The Trail Marker Clarification indicates the trail that is eligible. This to me means a specific point (And I’ve never seen same memorial on 2 separated benches so it makes that bench into a specific point) is a significant point as called for in the benches clarification.
alright) with Benches

Of course, even we are supposed to mix-match clarifications that “Specific Anchor Point on Eligible Trail” = “Significant Point” is a judgement call. But the use of the word “Point” in both clarifications tends to make me link them.
