At this point just all my nominations are stuck. I have one from over two weeks still waiting to even reach voting, a few from over two months ago still in voting, and more. Yet the best thing is I uploaded more nominations last Monday - so yesterday - and one of them already reached “in voting”. :face_with_raised_eyebrow: why not the one from over two weeks ago where I never come and which creates a wanted new gym if it finally gets accepted?

Also, it used to take a week at most, and that was like two months ago only. This just shows that people don’t care anymore. When will Niantic finally learn the current system just doesn’t work? There’s currently a bug that stops a bunch of reviewers too, and Niantic acknowledged they’re working on it like a month ago already and they still haven’t done shit.

Not even two hours later and another nomination from yesterday went in voting, and the one from two weeks ago is still waiting. :man_facepalming:

A stop I nominated on September 24th just got accepted and will create a new Gym in the regio. Meanwhile there’s also one from that date still not even in voting, and there’s also one from August 6th still in voting and two from August 10th as well. I’m not sure what is going on here but I’m guessing my entire Wayfarer account is broken. At least I got a new Gym added to the game…

Another nomination from September 24th returned accepted today and it was one that was necessary to get a Gym closeby here but extremely hard to pull through so I’m glad I did it. Now I need one more nomination here and I’ll finally have a Gym that’s actually not too far to reach but unfortunately this last stop is the exact same thing but on another place so it might take a while. It’s cool to know they are eligible, though. And I already have an entire essay ready as to why they are eligible so that also helps.

Can’t even be upset that it again is one of the recent ones because I really wanted this nomination to become a Pokestop. Now onto the final one which got rejected for fake last time. I already could have had the final stop too but unfortunately it fell just inside an already used Level 17 Cell. The worst part is it only has to be moved a millimeter to the right and it would fall in a different, unused one. Turns out that’s literally impossible to do. 6x times I’ve tried to replace it by a millimeter to the right, points on the exact same thing still, but it’s just impossible to get it placed there because it’s not perfectly in the middle. :man_facepalming: Anyway, it’s not the worst as I can replace it by another nomination, which is probably also the very last possible nomination in the entire Level 14 Cell, so that’s great.

Another appealed Wayspot has been accepted! :partying_face: :star_struck:

I’ve still got one appealed back in March showing appealed still :roll_eyes:

ANOTHER of my nominations from September 24th came back and now I’m convinced my August nominations are stuck somewhere. I already emailed Niantic about it thrice, and the first time, about two of them finally came back, second time, my entire email (sent through the HELP-button in Wayfarer) was gone and the third time my entire email was gone again. Does anyone else now how I can contact Niantic about this? I can try the in-game helpdesk but I’m not sure if that works.

Update:

  • 82 accepted

  • 80 Pokestops created

  • 63 rejected

  • 32 still accepted: 50,8%

  • Total Gyms created: 10

Not sure how I got 10 Gyms created there because I had one added to the game two days ago and I still counted to 10 so I’m guessing I counted one twice on August 31st.

The last of my nominations of September 24th finally went in voting after I upgraded it last Tuesday. Hopefully it creates a new Gym within a week. Also the only one that was still in voting from September 24th just got accepted. If the upgraded one also gets accepted, then all my nominations from that day got accepted which is amazing.

Apparently I mismatched it on IITC and the new Gym is already live. Nice.

It already got accepted too six hours ago, so that’s the quickest approval I’ve ever had. However, it falls in the same Cell as the stop that got approved a day earlier, that I accidentally happened to mismatch so it won’t show up on the map unfortunately.

Nomination from October 3rd got accepted and there’s still three from August in voting. I’m not sure why those aren’t resolving but it sure is annoying.

Lately been covering almost every rejection reason in the “why should it be a Wayspot” description and it seems to work. Three more nominations all got accepted today after a long wait. Surprisingly the one with the biggest essay nominated on the same day has yet to return, though. I expect it to get accepted though, although it took me five or six tries already, because I covered exactly every reason they can find to reject it and therefore they have no reason to reject it at all anymore, so that should be all good. In fact the last like 10 nominations have all been accepted. However, I STILL have those three nominations from back in August and I emailed Niantic like four times about it now but they keep deleting my email in their helpdesk for some reason. I’ve been looking for other ways to reach out to them but I cannot find it. In game helpdesk doesn’t cover Wayfarer so that didn’t get me anywhere either. Best I can probably do is to renominate those three and they’ll be back sooner.

Yeah and then the inevitable happened…

So to start, one of those nominations would create a Gym. This also happened, but instead of picking the selected one the game just randomly selected a stop to become the next Gym. What’s weird though is that it’s an old stop and has like five pictures with zero votes on it so it did have quite some “likes” in total, however in the same cell there’s also one with 6, one with 7, one with 8 and even one with 12.

I really wished I could finally have a Gym close to me but it seems it’s just no longer possible and I will have to hope for the right thing to get selected out of 20+ others. So that’s basically impossible really.

This probably takes away one of the main reasons for me to play and I’m quite upset by it and it really adds up to me no longer enjoying the game anymore. The Gym closest to me is next up so if that fails I may not return to the game anymore. I’m not enjoying it that much anymore anyway.

Worst part is this happening took a Shiny Duskull from me as well and turned it in a lousy Roselia.

Turns out it didn’t and I got to see it in the most harsh way.

Funnily enough this stop also came back and it’s literally INSIDE the gym so it wouldn’t have mattered either way.

My appeal from March came back today rejected, wtf?
Originally it was rejected by moronic reviewers for being a temporary structure.
All pictures and information in the nom show it’s a permanent structure which was the basis of my appeal. I don’t understand how they could not over turn the original rejection.
5 weeks ago I would have been :rage:, now I’m just :roll_eyes:.

To be honest I haven’t been bothered about Wayfarer too much anymore ever since that wrong Gym happened until I got some nomination back accepted today from October 26th (!!) so I took a look and only three others of that same day even are in voting, the other I think 8 nominations are still even waiting to reach that state. Appeals do nothing, nominations get stuck in either voting (I still have three from August for some reason) or in the queue, Gyms can’t be determined anymore, and Niantic is taking forever to fix the issue that causes the screen to drop to the Streetview map instead of at the beginning of a review… I think it’s the end for Wayfarer. Even I haven’t been bothered to do nominations anymore. But yeah I also can’t do nominations if legit everything gets stuck.

Turns out they finally fixed the bug. So that may be my nomination came back sooner. Or it’s just because anyone else’s nominations also get stuck so there are like a few nominations only…

The final nomination I needed to get a Gym that should be the closest to my home got accepted. I’m literally praying the Gym isn’t going to be the most horrible stop existing but as usual it’s probably going to be that way. Can’t wait to be disappointed tomorrow.

Edit: Oh, never mind, a different one got accepted. That’s probably for the better because I can imagine the disappointment already.

One of my nominations from August 6th FINALLY came back and accepted as well so that’s surprising. Another one from 11 November came back as well which I’ll have to renominate but I already expected that since it’s very borderline. I know it’s possible to pass it through since I’ve done it elsewhere already so I am not giving up.
