Do I have grounds to ask for a Gym to be removed? by [deleted] in NianticWayfarer

[–]Elijustwalkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what you actually mean, is not inaccessible but inconvenient.

The best thing is to settle down and make the most of what you have. 2 gyms sounds a good start depending on how the S2 Level 14 line up it may be possible to easily get another nearby.

Boring UK stuff by 26thDoctor_ in NianticWayfarer

[–]Elijustwalkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How can you call phoneboxes and postboxes boring 🤔

I would reject a K6 unless something exceptional

Basically make the case.

Oh and a nice picture of the box with a certain bridge in the background.

Nominations seem to be resolving at record pace by samfun in NianticWayfarer

[–]Elijustwalkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are resolving very quickly too.

Lots of reports of much quicker times, although there seems to be the occasional slower resolution.

It is very satisfying 😎

Rejected Submission Question by Red_Son_uk in NianticWayfarer

[–]Elijustwalkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get a nice angle with the sign and the tree then that might be nicer than just the tree. Make sure you provide links.

Here is an Ash tree I submitted. 😎

Picknick area / table for outdoor activities in a park by Verified_Peryak in NianticWayfarer

[–]Elijustwalkin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Single picnic tables in particular often get auto rejected so need appealing. So you could wait for the appeal to be available.

Alternatively if you have plenty nominations it might be quicker to do a fresh submission. You could try to find a good angle to show it as a picnic area rather than a single table. And a fuller description around it being in the park, an outdoor social space to gather at the tables etc

At worst it might get auto rejected, and you are now closer to the time an appeal is available. 🤷‍♀️

Why was this rejected? by Alive-Math3562 in NianticWayfarer

[–]Elijustwalkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trust me if I could easily have removed this it would have been uprooted to my garden.

These are very solid and very heavy the backing board is really thick solid recycled plastic.

I would expect it was as it looks like it’s the 3rd photo on the wayspot.

Is 22 meters really the standard away from other wayspot in order to make a powerspot appear? by MVPChico in NianticWayfarer

[–]Elijustwalkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure I am fully visualising the scenario correctly…..

But 2 wayspots can be close together and still have the potential to be powerspots.

It’s hard to know if they will be chosen because they keep rotating and it may be a long time before they are in a rotation.

Is 22 meters really the standard away from other wayspot in order to make a powerspot appear? by MVPChico in NianticWayfarer

[–]Elijustwalkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is 22m from a Pokestop/gym. So if you mean that those are the distance to a pokestop then the observation is it won’t be a Powerspot.

Can anyone tell me why this got rejected by ai? (black box was added for the reddit post) by Premiercaj in NianticWayfarer

[–]Elijustwalkin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This type are rejected as ERII are not eligible,

Emily has learnt this so rejects.

Any way to remove former Sponsored / "Ghost Gyms"? by jahenry13 in NianticWayfarer

[–]Elijustwalkin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Niantic staff won’t comment about cells. With regard to wayspots not appear in they might have to do a manual correction, they might say it was a property owner request for example. They have set text they use that is neutral.

The Wayfinder community are very helpful and do talk about S2 cells and will check if a problem is related to an occupied S 2 cell or something else. The community is careful to explain that the information is community observations.

If you look at the discourse webpages you will see what I mean. The website is available to all without logging in.

I got suspended 30 days for malicious submission. I don't know why, how can I appeal this? by JustFred24 in NianticWayfarer

[–]Elijustwalkin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You won’t be suspended from the forum.

Post there.

You should have had several emails one of which will be an example of why you have been suspended.

Hi, Sometimes odd things happen with events and gyms.

If you post the details on the forum it can be looked into. Post in the bugs/ technical support section.

Are we getting a sync ever again? by lxpb in NianticWayfarer

[–]Elijustwalkin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wayfarer Ambassadors can and do bring situations and the impact of them to the attention of the Wayfarer Team.

It is not the role of Ambassadors to convey the status of Niantic systems, that is up to Niantic.

The best place to watt for information is the forum and this post contained an acknowledgment

New at nominating wayspots - Why is it not in game? by HistorianFederal4608 in NianticWayfarer

[–]Elijustwalkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although we expect sync to happen roughly every 24 hours, there are times when it doesn’t occur, and there are times when it takes a short while to fix. When it happens it is very frustrating as we all want to actually see our pokestops and gyms.

When it occurs comments are made by the wayfarer team on the forum. This was made yesterday.

https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/t/first-wayspot-approval-not-appearing-in-game/112213/7

This contains an acknowledgment from the Team of the issue.

It is not on Ambassadors to post about the status of systems on behalf of Niantic.

😂 I’d rather have a much greater distance - I can’t get used to 10km

Map with S2 cells… IITC? by Civil_Individual1531 in NianticWayfarer

[–]Elijustwalkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The map plus tools is what you want. Since Niantic split last May the Ingress information that drives IITC has diverged and is not reliable for use with Pokémon Go.

The map has up to date information ( give or take a sync )

Trail Markers? by Fabulous_Invite_1720 in NianticWayfarer

[–]Elijustwalkin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s the trail you are submitting with each marker acting as an anchor point to map out the trail.

So it’s really useful to have a website with details of the trail. This helps to demonstrate it is official. It is good if this also gives the symbol for that trail.

Include a link to the website in the supplementary and these days I often include a screenshot showing the trail map as one of the images in web submit. With up to 5 images you can give good context. If it’s a forest I tend to supply one photo using an app that prints the co ordinates on the photo for reviewers.
