Ok, just logging in and seeing some positive change. 4 stage rating. In stead of the 3 stage.
But still. That rating forces people to be sour…
Finally got a reaction on one more: rejected for “blurry photo”. Dude. Just look.

They are giving the worst reasons for nomination rejections. Probably because there IS no reason.
Best thing is they did accept some PokéStops here with the blurriest pictures I’ve ever seen - it’s almost impossible to see anything.

You can submit a new photo. It’s I. The same menu as the pokestop scan.
My 2nd nomination was rejected because they said it didn’t look like a permanent structure. So I nominated 3 more stops and hopefully one of those will be accepted.

Submitted a new one. Usually playgrounds do get accepted so I hope this works out. It was never submitted I think because of an other stop closeby. But it’s in a different cell and 30m from my submission location.
Time for an update after going for a Drive on the weekend and seeing what became stops and what became the Gym.
11 noms became the Gym
32 noms became Pokestops
8 of those 32 created a Gym in the Cell.

I nominated 2 Wayspots on 1st November. One of them got an upgrade. The funny thing is that the first nomination to get into the voting phase was the one that wasn’t upgraded. What’s more, it was accepted after only 2 days of voting! 
The upgraded one is still in queue! And they say that upgraded nominations get to be voted faster.

Definitely not true. I once put an upgrade on something which finally got approved five months later if I remember correctly and currently I have one nomination upgraded which was nominated about half July.
Yeah! I got a new gym at work!

One accepted, one didn’t…
And of course for crap reasons…
“Nomination appears to be a natural feature (waterfall, mountain, lake, etc.) that is not connected to a man-made object, Photo is low quality (e.g., pitch black/blurry photos or photos taken from a car), Nomination does not meet acceptance criteria.”
The photo is good enough. Seen much worse get accepted, also took the supporting photo to show i wasn’t in a car, from across the pond!!!. And how can a sink in a brick wall at a man made pond be a natural feature…?
Seriously, how can it be that people with the mental capacity of a brick wall still can review and come up with those enormous loads of crap…? It really triggers me. Don’t know if I can appeal, but I will report this at Niantic.

My last nomination got rejected. But I got two new stops at work and one of them is a gym. So I’m pretty happy.
The stop I nominated on Tuesday got rejected so I just sent in two more.

I got another pokestop at work now. It’s also one that got rejected a month ago. I just resubmitted it on Sunday.

I will try a resup later today. Hope the weather will help a little…

Nice work @bobbyjack8
If they are valid submissions just keep resubmitting until sensible reviewers approve it.
I’ve slowed down a bit with submissions with other things to do. I’ve got a few things that have been in voting for a while now so that’s moving slow to.

Another submission accepted that creates a Gym in a very small town that only had 2 Gyms.
Will go for a 10min drive up the hill and see if my submission is the Gym or if it converted the existing Pokestop.
