Hi, Before submission I made sure that the spot meets all criteria. I often see pokestops with insect hotels. What’s wrong with this one? I would appreciate any feedback, thanks :slight_smile: [1000075496] [1000075498] [1000075500] Sending a waypoint for Insect House Olszewnica Stara Masovia…

Welcome to the Wayfarer forum @FireOfMuspell2 ! Insect hotels can meet criteria, if they are a GREAT place to socialize, exercise or explore at. The example shared by you looks like one you can buy in a lot of stores so would be too generic to be a good wayspot (please correct me if I am wrong).

Hi, thanks! In our area there are no pokestops at all (only few in the whole village, far away from each other). I thought this would be a nice spot since there are no other stops nearby (and no other landmarks / places like this). There are also a lot of kids playing around. Is there something I ca…

Is it rejected by"our team" or “our community”? Niantic AI might auto reject some submission. Anyway if that happen, you can resubmit or appeal. Personally i would fight for this wayspot

Yes. Just resubmit or appeal. You have 2 appeal every 20 days. AI works to reduce reviewer load but it is not perfect and might be wrong. I myself just got 2 rejection. I appealed and got both approved

[Screenshot_20250221-203830_Chrome] AI exist because too many people submit things like this .. face palm So sometimes people got wrongfully rejected

It’s does look like a mass-produced object which might count against it, but there’s a terrific photo and a good location which might make me want to vote for something like this. If it got into general voting I’d guess it might be accepted. I took the liberty of looking around the area. This commu…

Thank you, I’ll make more supporting photos and appeal. Thanks a lot!
