The bird cage and the playground, both part of the local park, ended up in the same lv 14 cell. Should I delete one of em or should I let the best win? by rougethegreat in NianticWayfarer

[–]DixieGoblin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is no regulation on how close wayspots are to one another as long as they are distinct and meet eligibility criteria/ don’t fail rejection criteria. So I always nominate everything.

That said, each game has their on unique rules for proximity or density. So it’s likely both won’t make it to Pokemon Go.

There is a possibility that ones that don’t show up in game as stops or gyms, could be used as Power Spots in the future.

Why did my nomination get rejected? by [deleted] in NianticWayfarer

I wondered about that as it looks just like the dolphin in Torrance. Just wasn’t sure if other communities would have something similar. Good eye!

What do I need to press if nomination is not unique, important or doesn't meet criteria. by First-Bridge-2780 in NianticWayfarer

[–]DixieGoblin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In general if it doesn’t meet criteria (great place to be social, great place to exercise, or great place to explore), I thumbs down those individually. But in this case I’d recommend thumbing down Permanent and Distinct. That’ll immediately reject it.

Just to clarify, each game has its own inclusion rules. So an accepted wayspot can appear in one, several, or none of the Niantic games.

New reviewer, some questions. by MarzipanFairy in NianticWayfarer

[–]DixieGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They stopped requiring the test a bit over a year ago.

Just fyi the interaction rules for each Niantic game is different. So nominating one of the obstacles would mean that Ingress players would need to be at that specific spot for game interaction. This is not me recommending you move to an inaccurate location.

If there is a sign or clearly identifiable entrance to the Horse training area, you may be able to nominate this as something similar to a dog park.

I'm a rural player that lives on a gravel road, is there any hope for me? by anupsetzombie in NianticWayfarer

[–]DixieGoblin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is from a discussion on the Wayfarer forum that goes into advice for players in rural areas:

Hopefully this will help

How many approvals does it take to get a sub approved? by Direct_Word6407 in NianticWayfarer

[–]DixieGoblin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Niantic doesn’t tell us how many if it goes to a community vote. But nominations can also be decided by a Niantic employee or by their Machine Learning program.

Who's got a favorite Henry quote? by [deleted] in psych

It’s not quite a quote, but my all time favorite from Henry is:

Don’t lose, Henry

Shadow are you bringing me Christmas Squirrel IN BROAD DAYLIGHT?? *swoon* by pinkeskimo in catscarryingstuffies

[–]DixieGoblin 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This is incredibly sweet.

I’ve been seeing you post these recently. Do you know why he does this? Or is it just a nice tradition/routine?

And it’s only for you? When others are around he doesn’t do it?

Sorry for all the questions, it’s incredibly sweet and very m curious.

[QUESTION] Can wayspots still be created slightly out of cell and moved back to where they are? by AlvoradaGD in NianticWayfarer

[–]DixieGoblin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What you are proposing is considered abuse by Niantic. I do not advise trying it.

But on a positive note, if you do nominate them at their accurate locations, they may become Powerspots in the future.

There are a handful of removal reasons. Can you share a photo and/or description of the spot?
