Yet another rejection (trail marker)

Apparently, a publicly accessible park is a sensitive location? And a marker that is permently planted into the ground is not permanent?

Oh wow, how is an exercise route/trail in a park in any way sensitive? It exists to encourage people to use the route for their walking and running.

Not being permanent might have instead meant not distinct, but this would be the only 500m marker in the park so I also do not understand

there isn’t any street view, but nothing about this looks “sensitive” so i have to assume that was a misclick :woman_shrugging:

Not the greated of supporting images…but…

So that was you who left those bodies there?

Do you want advice on how you could take a better supporting photo, or just want to vent that you need to resubmit (or appeal)? :people_hugging:

I’m going to appeal it when I can. It’s a low priority sub. I am more annoyed with the rejection categorisation more than anything else, as it could lead to Niantic reviewing my submission.

The rejection clause is abit off. Its definitely not sensitive. I can understand if its temporal or not distinct.

Well, it’s not temporary, and it encourages Exercise. So not sure how you came to that conclusion.

I can understand how reviewers incorrectly applying distinctiveness criteria to trail markers can end this way..

“Its just a wooden post” in some people’s minds could be a reason to reject.

Not a valid one though- they were incorrect

I can just about get why they do it, and it’s not the first wooden marker in my queue that has been rejected.

Well it just looks like a piece of wood with number 500 on it. Some carpenter might be able to make one easily.

Follow your point to it’s logical conclusion. It’s in a public park. How many carpenters do you know that arbitarily puts posts with words or number on it in a public park? Also, what makes you think this isn’t a Council supported installation considering it’s in a park?

Personally i agree with you . But it seems local reviewer dont. Well just try submit again

Waymarkers are “hit and miss” in my experience. The more unique they are, the more likely the community approves.

“Come to the park”, I said, “we’ll make a P8 and frack it. Just stand next to this bulldozer.”
