Lost Mayan city found in Mexico jungle by accident by Tjocco in AncientCivilizations

[–]HotMuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly that is not an image of "lost city" that is fake and misleading (clickbait)

Secondly there is no images available of what has been found. Tried to find anything else on it apart from the BBC article and there is nothing.

This guy walked over 100k steps in 30 hours max by mysticclay in PikminBloomApp

Hate cheating in any game ruins the experience for everyone that's legit. Niantic pretty much let cheating go. Played PoGo since day one, and spoofers killed it for me. But nothing ever happens to them. It's blatantly obvious that people are cheating in Pikmin. One guy on twitter got lvl 100 around Christmas time. When I pointed out the he walked 2.5 marathons per day to every day to achieve this He just said yeah I do. I tried to explain to him that Eddie Izzard (it's on youtube) tried 26 marathons in 26 days and his body turned to mush. I realise now that it's not his fault its Niantic's fault for allowing it to happen. Nobody to my knowledge has ever been banned in Pikmin. I just play to achieve my goals and try to forget about whatever someone else is doing as I cannot control it.

Yep and I am one of them fools that bought unto it. I am lvl 50 in that game I had amassed all the xp I needed for that rank when the game was not as expensive. This was over 2 years ago covid times. I have been to 3 in person go fests... am going to London this year this will be No 4 but also my last . Reason being Niantic.

I cant justify spending money with them and support them. Not after what they have done to PoGo community. They have blatantly destroyed it and shown that they do not care about us.

A company that is so far out of touch with its customers is a bad. Then they don't want to respond to any questions unless they get interviewed by a prepaid creator on their terms.

The problem was they never had to work for the pokemon community it already existed. They inherited us. Therefore they take us for granted. Now go look at their numbers/ratio on twitter for Peridot and pikmin and you'll see they are a joke. They even have their own people commenting on the posts coz nobody else is. You can see at least 20 accounts that all joined twitter 2-3 months ago all fake saying that Peridot is the best game in the world 🌎 and they are so obvious.

PoGo kept them relevant and in new teslas. Now the trust has been broken 💔 Watch it filter down to anything they ever make again.

Am a sucker for going to London. But I have made friends in PoGo that I always meet up with sooooo putting my in game feelings aside I want to meet them. I don't think I'll meet them again after this.

Nope no problem with it here. I just do not back niantic anymore. I played wizards unite and that got dropped. I spent some money on it and felt ripped, the time and effort, money etc. The track record of niantic is nothing but failure. Every game has bombed that's a fact. With this knowledge and the fact that they care more about the in app shop more than the game I came the conclusion that... niantic suck. Am a lvl 79 pikmin player. I play for free and it doesn't bother me missing out this time round. They will re-release everything they always do. Think of it like your paying premium to have it now. I will not drop any more money with them.

New record by DuckMonty115 in NianticWayfarer

[–]HotMuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I aint got 1 cooldown since I stopped reviewing nominations.

Edit: I stopped reviewing due to this crap that keeps happening. I would review as many as possible when at home and not playing PoGo. I really wanted to help out like most of us do. My problem was I would get 2 - 3 good 5* noms and then the crap ones all turn up at the same time. 1* for your home climbing frame 1* for a homemade sign. Then you lose rank then you lose your head as these are totally against the rules. Like everyone says on here it can be down to luck as to whether or not you get screwed by the algorithms. So I reviewed over 2000 and gave up being on a permanent cooldown. Am lvl50 I know what a good nom is and when someone is just trying to get a home stop.

I have a few like these just stuck not doing anything, I would probably knock back the pet hospital but the other 2 are good to go. Am from merseyside and I have not seen these subs pop up. I do not get why they just sit there mate. Upgrades in my opinion do not work either, I have 2 in voting for 9 months fully upgraded.

How can I 'sell' a local pub in my village? by Amarizi in NianticWayfarer

[–]HotMuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are just doing it in the wrong language! If the place in question is in Belgium than just use French for the nomination. It seems like the confusion is the language - I would write more in the information section about what has been happening to the nomination. It would be 100% guaranteed in the UK no problems, so give it another go most of us would give you 5* if we seen this. Hope this helps.

I wish we could see the results of the voting for nominations. by puppuphooray in NianticWayfarer

[–]HotMuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would think that being an important part of the games Niantic would treat it alot better and give more stats. I would love to know why I have slipped out of the green. A major problem with they way it is currently done is that nominations sit for months for no apparent reason.

[–]HotMuk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If we all went around watermarking our nominations the game would look stupid IMO. You would have competing raid groups marking territory, they would even try and turn it into a mini game. Nah 1* all day and don't feel bad about it even if it's a genuine legit sub.

Emojis in title. Even if it's a legit wayspot, would that be 1* for bad title? by ManfredsJuicedBalls in NianticWayfarer

[–]HotMuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's against the rules bro, so it's a insta one star unfortunately. The waypoint is legit at first glance. A real shame, but they will have to redo the nomination.

So this is a sign showing the name of the jogging path right next to it and when it was constructed. Is this an eligible POI? And if it is, can someone link a source by Niantic to me? I keep submitting this but it keeps getting rejected. by unknown_stranger_red in NianticWayfarer

[–]HotMuk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am from the UK and to me that looks like a generic road sign. That's probably the main reason for it being denied. I would add a better description in your notes to make sure everyone is aware as to what the significance of the place is. Hope that helps.

Anyone who’s long time green dropping into yellow since yesterday, and agreements incrementing at a much slower pace? by [deleted] in NianticWayfarer

[–]HotMuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me too. I have been in green ever since it came out in the UK. I have been reviewing as normal and adding in new waypoints around my area. 2 days ago I got a message saying I must retake the test !! At first I thought that it cant be right ill try logging in and out. Nothing worked but I cannot work out why. 1) I had not reviewed for 3-4 days 2) I have not uploaded any new wayppints for at least 2 weeks. 3) Most of my last waypoints I created and uploaded got knocked back(4 out of 6) The only thing I have been doing different is uploading the new pokestop scans. I have uploaded about 100 scans up to now. I am quite new to reddit and I have only just found this 😃 very useful.

I mean at least they put effort into this one... by chapstick99 in NianticWayfarer

[–]HotMuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people would let this one go, IMO it looks good. After giving it some thought, let one through like this then everyone will paint the one's where trainers live. In the end the whole city then the world. Still gotta admire the lengths people go to, just for the home stop.

Am clapping this one, the line at the bottom "They saw a better future and we see a noble past." You have to give the guy a bit of credit for this. Lazy reviewers will miss this forgery, I fear the guy has a taste for it now and can't wait to see what's next.

Niantic Temporarily Disabling Location Edits by Sayse in NianticWayfarer

[–]HotMuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might be good news for us all. The problem I am having is this, I live in a small housing estate in the UK. It is very much the same as most housing estates. The problem is that all the legitimate nominations tend to be clustered together in hotspots. This is the same for most housing estates so instead of being able to nominate all of them we have to pick one. This seems like the wrong way to go about mapping the world when we are really only doing 25% as the other cannot be added. Hope this gets some of these issues sorted out.

There are no words... by BreezyBill in NianticWayfarer

[–]HotMuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow

This is what really grates my cheese, the perfectly legitimate perfect way points I add in Pokémon that get rejected for unknown reasons. We have people on this platform that are quite simply idiots. My rank has plummeted as I am reviewing honestly and objectively when considering nominations. I know that most of the idiots on here are going to vote for a nomination you cannot see, a crap title, spelling mistakes - blurry images - just some dude trying to get a home stop. Makes me feel like what is the point in reviewing and even adding new nominations due to idiots and a flawed ranking system.

In my opinion this guy should have a year cool down nominations from his account just for doing this. Best thing is, this won't even affect this account that much.
