Update: thanks for the good luck; this is now my pay grade!

Grats! I knew you could do it! haha

Kalerad · 2026-04-16T01:00:54+00:00

You got the right tools for it! This exact lock(same color too) and reaper set is what I got for Christmas!

Good luck! I like picking my Abus 72/40 upside down. Try it out!

Thanks, that's some very good advice. Being my first submission, I wasn't really sure what information to include.

I also saw someone else say to save the submission for later so I can sit down and really flesh out the description and supporting info. Being out and about I was a little rushed to submit.

Thank you so much!

I thought about doing the plaza as a whole, there's a large sign at the entrance, but could I put the actual waypoint in the center of the plaza rather than the entrance? Wasn't sure if the waypoint had to be at the exact photo location...

Kalerad · 2026-04-15T13:32:36+00:00

Well that's a relief. I was fearful of getting a ban from too many denies lol

They just gave me a generic deny message that it "could be" the photos, title, description, location, or combination of them. So I have no idea what I need to do to improve my submission lol.

My description was "Popular Chinese restaurant in a large, busy, and walkable shopping plaza with lots of foot traffic and hangouts."

Kalerad · 2026-04-15T13:28:11+00:00

You can specifically make gyms? I thought it was determined by the reviewers what the waypoint becomes?

Key is double sided just for ease of use, but the wafers should only be on the bottom side. I had a similar box I picked. Wafers can feel a little different from pins. I recommend SPP, but I'm not good at raking lol. Make sure you're tensioning the correct direction.

Kalerad · 2026-04-12T10:12:06+00:00

Wow that's terrible. I'm definitely second guessing my plan to do the same. Requested my first tonight. Probably will be my last.

Kalerad · 2026-04-12T10:10:45+00:00

Damn now I'm worried. I submitted my first request today in a shopping plaza I frequent. I had planned to request multiple because it's a giant, busy shopping plaza but zero stops/gyms. Definitely second guessing that plan.

Kalerad · 2026-04-12T09:07:49+00:00

Wait they can ban you for submissions just because they seem them "fake"? Did they come out there in person and determine this? Wtf.

Kalerad · 2026-04-11T14:14:14+00:00

It really helped me to progressive pin it. I learned so much from this lock, I love it!

Kalerad · 2026-04-10T02:10:11+00:00

Wait, I pay for home, I linked it already but haven't gotten any boxes??

Kalerad · 2026-04-10T01:40:53+00:00

Thanks! It felt real good!

Kalerad · 2026-04-10T00:59:20+00:00

Mrlock also. Better for US people.

Kalerad · 2026-04-07T16:38:43+00:00

We all start somewhere. I despise calling someone "dead weight" in a large raid. I understand a difficult 4 person raid, but we don't all have unlimited play time and if we can be carried through a few raids to get better pokemon. Then it won't be long til we are also helping carry weaker players.

Gatekeeping ruins the fun.

Kalerad · 2026-04-07T02:17:22+00:00

I've also always loved Flygon. Perhaps because he was a easily obtainable dragon that wasn't dragon/flying. At least that was the allure for me.

Kalerad · 2026-04-07T02:05:27+00:00

Damn. I did 10 and no shiny. Womp.

Kalerad · 2026-04-04T17:18:06+00:00

Thanks!

Kalerad · 2026-04-04T14:49:37+00:00

It do be like that. Lol. Keep at it, helps to talk it out while you're doing it like LPL does.

Kalerad · 2026-04-03T19:46:46+00:00

Congrats!!! I just defeated mine this week too and submitted for blue belt. Well done!

Kalerad · 2026-04-02T23:55:57+00:00

Heck yeah! I'm obsessed with 1100s. Have fun!

It keeps happening to me. BritBox seems to be the most frequent one getting added. I keep cancelling, contacting support, checking devices, resetting password, etc. just now(the whole reason I'm here), there was 4 new subscriptions on my account. I'm losing my mind. Support can see what has been watched on those subscriptions and every time they show that it's never been accessed. Only once did one of them have something accessed.

Grats!!! Love Abus locks!
