I’m so frustrated by this. I’m trying to nominate a set of benches on a busy walking trail as a pokestop, there’s a similar pokestop over 2km away on the same trail that was allowed, but mine is rejected. They are a good walk apart, so nothing close by. It’s right beside a busy path entrance, like w…

Not all benches are eligible, and before the clarification recently, many were getting approved. Here is the current criteria clarification for benches: [image] Seating Benches Criteria Clarification Collection Memorial benches can only be eligible under the criteria for…

We recommend you review the Wayspot Criteria before submitting your next Wayspot contribution: Wayfarer — Niantic Technical Support and Help Center " And Rejection C…

I’d never waste an appeal on regular benches - Niantic won’t approve them. Your best hope is to get a decent description and supporting info to convince enough reviewers that it should be accepted. Sadly, most benches will be rejected. Even memorial benches get rejected, so plain ones have even les…

Bei mir werden auch stops abgelehnt. Ein kiosk das über 40 jahre existiert wird abgelehnt aber ein anderes erlaubt. Verstehe es auch nicht. Meldungen wo portale verschoben oder nicht mehr existieren werden auch ignoriert. Ich denke, die schauen es sich nicht einmal an. So macht es keinen Spaß und…
