Those hdnd cijd ehdh etc are meaningless as long as I change them before they get into review.
Photos are significantly different. Mine is much brighter. Anyway itâs easier to take the same photo from a plate rather than st Peter s basilic.
Their reading is useless if they donât answer.
That is a different image
Same plaque.
The submission photo has a border around the plaque on all four sides; that image does not.
That location matches exactly to your supporting photo.
This submission was decided based on the votes received from the community. Our team just reviewed a flag. If you believe your nomination is eligible, youâre welcome to appeal it.
Tagging multiple Niantic staff is not necessary and not helpful. Niantic read every thread and comment when necessary.
The pinned location matches the building you show in the supporting. Since NianticAaron has weighed in and said that you could appeal this, then that is what I would do.
The only other reason I can think of for someone to have marked this as abuse is if this is a controversial figure in your part of the world, like a celebration of a Confederate war âheroâ would be here. I do not think this is an issue from the links I read, but that is all I can think of.
Let us know how the appeal goes.
So why does mail say âour teamâ rather than community?
I think this was because the submission was flagged as abusive, so got internally reviewed after having been community reviewed. The rejection reasons were from the review results (i.e., the community), but the submission had been marked as being looked at internally, resulting in âour teamâ.
I doubt there is any further meaning to take away from that.
Happy cake day!
Oh yes enjoy some cake.
I believe thatâs what I said, the match was incorrect.
This has happened before, if you take a picture of a well-known landmark for example you may well be standing in the same spot in similar conditions to someone else who has published a similar but crucially different photo.
Apologies, I misread what you said. Happily, we are in agreement.
@Romasimona I hope you either appeal or resubmit. It appears that the reviewers didnât like this submission for a reason that is not possible to determine and that at least one flagged it as abusive. This flag was checked by Niantic (hence âour teamâ) but they could not overturn the review result, merely check whether it was abuse and needing a warning (it wasnât and didnât).
And this is what either you or your colleagues decided. I have no words. Why working for free for some company that is not qualified? Why so much ignorance among staff?
I understand your frustration
However please remain respectful to fellow wayfinders and the Wayfarer Team. It is perfectly possible to express that you are dissatisfied without being disrespectful.
They are disrespectful towards people who are voting. Donât forget voting brings little to no benefit. They just focus on punishing bad nominations rather than flyers.
Can you paste the full resolution photo here? So some of our more techy members may be able to understand what could have convinced them this was AI? We go to bat for people when we believe mistakes were made.
