Why do my stops get accepted but then removed

I hope this is the right place to put this if not I’m sorry.
I had two of my nominations get accepted then removed with no reason. What’s going on with pokemon go. Why can’t you let us have fun.

Hello,
Can you show us the ones this happened with please.

There are reasons for the criteria. If you want the company to continue to operate so you can play the games, you will follow the criteria. If you don’t want to follow the criteria, please don’t submit. Removing wrongly approved Wayspots keeps the games fun and functioning.

this playground is in my backyard and I’ve seen other’s get accepted for a playset in there’s so why is mine any different? You can reach it from the street to spin the stop.

I also had this Subway acceted as a stop. I don’t see the harm in this stop either.

Not sure why they both got accepted but then later on removed from the game with no reason. They both have plenty of public access via car, walking and or biking. Lots of ways to get exercise and exploring.

Here are the pertinent clarifications:

I am genuinely sorry that you are feeling so frustrated. I think that whole Criteria Clarification Collection is very helpful and suggest you check it for everything you are thinking about submitting. I know for me, a clarification doesn’t really sink in until it applies to a situation I can relate to.

Thanks for the feedback.

This has been discussed before in regards to the Subway: I have a question about my pokemon stop - #15 by SweetnSassy37

In addition to what the conversation in the Spring discussed, I think it may have been accidentally accepted by Niantic’s Machine Learning (ML). Upon human review it was then retracted

Is this confusing? Yes

Is it the right outcome? Most likely, yes

If you can share your original nomination from your Wayfarer page we can look at the rationale you used to explain why this would be a Great place to be social, explore, or exercise. Sometimes chain restaurants can meet that criteria. But as Subway has held the record for most locations around the world, this might be a high bar to meet.

Niantic is not always transparent in their decisions, so I understand the confusion.

チェーン店は厳しい見たいですね。ガスト系もないし。

Hello @Ilovepoopies7

I am going to send you a direct message so that we can discuss further as you have indicated that one is at your address and I don’t want you to doxx yourself.

That Subway nomination was previously complained about on this thread. I recognised the picture.

You also made another thread about it here.

@Ilovepoopies7 I see you asked why this playground in your backyard was removed. In this forum it was explained that nominations on single family residential property are not eligible. You thanked the commenter who told you that.

So… Why did you resubmit it anyway!? It’s not eligible.

@Ilovepoopies7 Why did you resubmit this? Putting this quote here from Aaron.

Don’t risk your game accounts on submissions you have been told are ineligible
