We should restrict applications for public notice boards and playground equipment!

For example, things like the above are universally present in various regions, and they are deemed inappropriate on par with businesses that lack local roots.

However, due to Niantic's negligence, these candidates are falsely portrayed as eligible, causing them to overflow like piles of garbage.

Standards are now meaningless, and we must unite and protest this situation. Public bulletin boards, playgrounds, community centers – the map should not be tainted with worthless trash devoid of any semblance of interest!

    Playgrounds are still eligible. What's the problem?

    The thing you should have to bring instead of this are generic chain restaurants.

    Playgrounds promote exercise therefore valid as long as they don't meet the rejection criteria of being on a k-12 school property, are on single family residences or farms etc. The information boards are valid as long as they meet location criteria that isn't a rejection as well.

    All candidates do not need to be historic. That is merely one aspect. There is also socialize and exercise. You need to think of culture more as the culture of the community. Not necessarily historic culture. The culture of the community is to come together at playgrounds for exercise and to bond with other families and children to learn social interaction.

    Are you from those countries or just apply what you think that it's your local criteria?

    Obviously wayfarer is not what you think it is.

    Well I don't think very many people agree with you.

    Playgrounds are not “just for children”. Some have areas set side for teenagers and young adults. Also I take my children to the park and I go with them 🤷🏻‍♂️ I get exercise and I socialise with other parents. What’s your point in this post ?? As for community noticeboards you say they get ignored but if you draw attention to them via the game they may get noticed and used more thus promoting the local community events and in turn encouraging socialising.

    I often use my nominations to draw attention to things people often miss and they get noticed via word of mouth.

    Unconditional approval should never be given for anything. Community notice boards and playgrounds can be rejected if duplicates exist in that location, or if they're faked, permanently removed, etc.. Voting honestly on the criteria, step-by-step, though, usually results in an approval for legit candidates of these types.

    Hahahahaha no. I’m not, are you?? I submit waypoints into all platforms. You’re being ridiculous now. Lacking attention are you ?

    Community noticeboards could be mass produced but they are made unique by each area postings and info that goes on to them. Its unique to that area.

    Often the notices posted on them are advertising events or gatherings so lead to either excercise, exploring and/or socialising, much like a map of a park might.

    Yes, there are some in areas which look terrible and not been decorated in a long time but we cant just reject ugly ones.

    "Cherished by the community" is difficult to prove, and usually superfluous to requirements for a good wayspot unless that wayspot is commercial in nature like a restaurant or unique shop. I have many trail markers as Wayspots, situated at gorgeous spots in the distant woods, but around here the only wayspots "cherished in the community" are those one can drive up to, remain in the car, and interact with more than one spot. My trail markers (and footbridges, and nature signs....) may not be cherished, but they're still valid.

    For playgrounds, what makes them a great place to exercise is...they exist. Restaurants, though, can potentially exist without being a great place to explore or be social - the service could be dreadful, the music overly loud, and the food tainted with hepatitis.

    If I do see a playground with jagged metal bits hanging off a rusted framework on a concrete base, though, I'd probably reject even if it could be demonstrated that the community cherishes that spot as-is.
