Web Submission v1 - Discussion

Not all regions have ambos though, so this could be tough. We already have the criteria and guidelines, and these apply globally, so this would seem to be enough right now for us.

I think the only times we have really run into issues with certain regions is during global challenges, and we don’t have those very often anymore. Plus, when we do, the local Wayfinders are nice enough to post tips for reviewing in their countries many times.

Being this doesn’t have much to do with the web submission process, you may want to start a separate thread to discuss this.

I would like this, just so the ai could stop rejecting the post boxes I find

And you do:

Again, this really isn’t on-topic, as this thread is about the web submission, not general feedback, which I see this to be.

I was just agreeing with the person

Also, rhay chat is t the same as the ambos and niantic talking about this kind of stuff, otherwise Emily would stop insta rejecting them lol

Let’s stay on-topic, please. If you have feedback about web submissions, please continue to submit it here. If you have any other feedback, please consider opening up a new thread.

Every other time I try to submit something through the web form (even in one session without logging in or out in between) it will tell me I didn’t give permission to access my location, which is obviously incorrect since I literally submitted something else a couple of minutes prior. Hence I keep having to reload the submission form. Using Google Chrome on a Macbook

I get the same on Windows 11 / Firefox.

It’s not a massive problem for me as I am not a prolific nominator but I could see this being a major problem for those that are.

Pressing the “Retry” does nothing, refresh the page after a couple of times it works.

It replaces the problem I had with Android when after uploading / taking the photos PoGo would restart and I had to start again.

Looking forward to V2 :slight_smile:

Well, guess I can’t use Chrome on my Windows 11 laptop, as the location is always off. I was able to use Edge on my laptop, and the location was accurate, so I’ll have to keep in mind that for the time being I’ll have to use Edge on my laptop.

Don’t have Chrome installed, just tried edge.

It asked my to allow Location which I did but the map did not appear even after I added 2 images.

I’d like to expose more cases on wayfarer’s showkstab now, it’s better to show them by category (including Niantic’s reviews and appeals). It’s shown right at login, and many reviewers can change their minds if they find out that the cafe, etc. is approved.

I’ve been thinking about it now, and I think it would be better to show more examples on wayfarer’s showcase tab, with tags such as approval/rejection/niantic’s review/application approval, etc. I think this alone will help a lot, so I don’t think there will be any discussion or complicated work.

Again, please open up a new thread for this feedback. This thread is for the discussion of the new web submission. What you are giving feedback on isn’t for the web submission, so it should be discussed elsewhere.

New fixes outlined here!

Woohoo! Looks a lot better for me on my laptop in Chrome now! And the location is correct!

Hello Wayfinders,

Unfortunately these fixes will be rolled back for some time while we address the current issue with blocked nomination submissions in Pokémon GO. We’re extremely sorry about this abrupt change and will bring these improvements back as soon as we find the fix.

Thank you for your understanding. More to come soon!

I believe this is an application submitted via the web,

but do you have any plans to add search functions other than Google Maps,

like Google Image Search or Apple Maps, for reviewing application images submitted to Emily?

We’re having trouble with a large number of applications quoting from other sources.

I feel like many people don’t understand the instructions or warnings because they’re too brief.

If you check the discord there is a plugin tool that will add reverse image search to the review flow

First of all as someone who puts a lot of effort into making high quality submissions, thank you, this is great!

Not sure if this has been mentioned but with the great feature of having up to 5 supporting photos, it may be helpful to be cautious around drawing attention to this.

The average reviewer may not notice and is not accustomed to seeing multiple photos, my concern is they will default to not looking at them. Considering submissions that have multiple photos are likely only added because they are particularly critical to that review.

  1. Is there a method or can there be some direction on how to set the best/preferred supporting photo to be the one that is displayed first in the order or more visually pronounced?

My submission it looked like the first photo I selected in a group to upload at once ended up being the last one. e.g. selected photos 1-4, #4 is the first shown as the main supporting photo and 1 is the last.

  1. On the review page, make it even more apparent and call attention to there being multiple photos in the review to consider.

I actually did find it apparent on the first review I came across that had multiple photos, even though I had forgotten that it was possible.

Are you planning to show us the S2 cells on the web submission map? I wouldn’t even waste time submitting a POI if I knew it shared a cell with another POI…
