Wow! I think I’d have accepted any of those. I’m so glad you managed eventually, but it must have been so frustrating. Looks like a lovely place to walk by the water
Im glad that I keep going. It feels really bad to have a rejection, especially on those stickers, but when anything gets accepted and you see it in game it is so rewarding for me. My area had 1 good spot, and now it seems like this rural area is a thriving spot with pokestops and gymspots everywhere, and im not even done yet. Many trail stickers are still unasked. Thanks for the respones, will update soon with how the other 6 Markers will go.
I feel this way as well
Not to start a Flame War just to give a different opinion.
I personally prefere Trail Markers that have a bit more than the name and an Arrow, the start, the end and the “What you will see at this spot” types. More Quality and Variety than quantity.
My style of play means I am not interested in massive amounts of waypoints. Typically play whilst doing short walks for exercise. Even 1.5 mile will require me to take a few breaks so if a I have a couple of Gyms and a few stops I am happy.
Risk of abuse: As these are often in places that are difficult to prove the locations are easy to tweak so they fall in to empty cells. Seems that most are chosen for an empty cell than this being a decision point.
Summary: When I first started reviewing I was Rejecting them as Not Distinct. As I read the foums more I realised that people where Accepting these. As I can’t change my opinion on them my process now is to skip. I am not stopping them from being accepted but I am not helping with something I don’t personally agree with.
Submitted this one a couple days ago and upgraded it to get better results, I got it back within 8 hours and here we go again.
Im starting to hate the reviewers in my area. Just follow criteria when you are reviewing. Like, how can this be fake😤.
Just to make sure, you can clearly see this one
Great picture! I also did a lot of those!
But on latern they are little bit harder to get accepted then on a black pole, good luck
I also dont like some wayspots options, But i still accept them for other players, because thats the right thing to do follow critiria and guidlines
I prefer everyone have a nice playable areas
Whit legit wayspots followed by the critiria and guidlines.
More wayspots, give diffrent players more option, you like a short walk, some players like a long walk, or just to sit whit there kids in the playground, or ad the favorite sportcenter, or just somewhere ad a nice location in nature, or somewhere on the trail.
Maybe even on sunday ad the Churches.
So many options.
Everyone have there own favorite places.
And wayfarer should be a tool to help and improve all those fellow players to a lovely nice safe playable area’s/location’s followed by the critiria and guidelines.
The option Trail markers give many people finally the option to explore something else then a playground in remote area’s.
Still very thankful to wayfarer team for that decision
Im defenitely gonna appeal the 2 I gave this in this topic. In about a week I can appeal them, will show them once they are decided on by The Team.
That is why I skip. I am not blocking anyone getting the stops they want but not getting involved with them.
There should be no risk of a ban simply for nominating trails with adhesive markers. They are good quality PoIs that meet criteria
It could be that the markers were misplaced or something else was going on.
Im not defenitely not gonna give up a good quality POI for some people who dislike trail markers or some people who abused them.
Every wayspot counts in my little rural area. It is defenitely getting crowded now with all the stops I have gotten accepted, but thats not a reason to stop.
I believe trail markers are on of the best nominatioms you could ask for.
I shouldm’t have made that assumption indeed. My bad, sorry.
I do also love to follow a route when walking, that’s why the wayspot nominations of these.
But if you do vote on them you also get other nominations faster true the system.
And there is a cooldown also if you skip to many nomination in a singel day, i think.
If you look only on a map wayspot pictures it can be boring quality no variety, most time no streetview, But if you would experience a trail live on location, it give a lot of quality and variety on things you encounter on the trail.
Ad least for me it helped a lot to go out and explore again.
Thanks to trail markers there are a lot of new places that are finally exploreable and fun to discover.
Perfectly fine if you wanna skip them,
Just sharing mine opinion, that for me the game play fun went up whit a 100% since the added it.
Here also walking route markers got removed, they where all ground markers/ tiles.
Made some topics about it
But the ones from provincie Zuid-Holland should be good since they where not removed and easy to proof whit offical links, of maps and routes.
Good luck everyone
@SlimboyFat71 has made a reasonable decision on how to handle these nominations and explained it several times, so there is no need to follow through in this instance.
Skipping should not trigger a cooldown. I have read reports from others since the increase in number, of them running out of skips and not receiving a cooldown.
BTW I am busy submitting trail markers and although each is the same in essence (as they should be) the trail is great to explore
I guess we are both hoping for some good reviewers then to get these markers through. Good luck, let me know what the decisions are once tou received them.
I realy that there was some kind of cooldown if you accepted / rejecting or skipped to fast to many in a row. (Excuse me if i where wrong)
Also didt know they increased the skip number. Definitely helpfull.
Have fun! Would love to see a picture of the nicest spot on the trail!
In regards to Skip Cooldown I previously stated there was a message but I may have been wrong, the last time it happenned the Skip button just greys out.
And another, this is getting very frustrating already.
The regular rejection reason of reviewers who don’t like these or take the time to look at them, The object is not permanent. The criteria is clear about these markers and they should be accepted if you provide good evidence. Isn’t there a better way to get these through, because appealing is gonna take a long time now. Atleast 22 days for me.
I think with this one you can try a brighter picture, with the marker centred, and taking up more of the image? It shouldn’t make a difference, but it seems to
I’m not saying this to criticise, as this image is fine and within the photo criteria, but reviewers are difficult to please at times
