Could anyone that can understand a bit of italian, could please explain be what would my misbehaviour be? MSI and Potere operaio were 2 political parties. I clearly didn’t offend anyone. I don’t want to risk suspensions or bans for offends I haven’t committed. Thank you. **Mod edit: tags removed.** ---

Hi, there is no need to tag everyone please. Check the response from Aaron here for a similar case: > [@Besoin de clarification pour un avertissement reçu](https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/besoin-de-clarification-pour-un-avertissement-recu/90539/7): > > No, you weren’t. I can see that the submission in question was rejected for not meeting any criteria. Per our assessment, it is a street sign which is not eligible. The text string you see is tied to the reason selected internally. I admit it requires an improvement. Coming to the warning, I can confirm that you have not accrued any points on the abuse ladder. It was meant to be an educational message. I have not looked at your nomination or its context but just to clarify the misbehaviour thing: it looks like a Wayfarer team rejection (broadly, for things that include non-abusive things such as ineligible objects) currently displays the kind of text you see. I agree it is unhelpful feedback-wise. But if you did not get any warnings or ban emails otherwise, there is no need to worry about this. ---

On a different note, there is definitely a very sensitive political aspect to this mural, to the point where I would strongly wonder about whether it’s worth nominating. I will leave it at that. ---

It’s not even that political. They weren’t politician. Their only fault was to be politicians sons. ---

It’s a mural, therefore it’s valid. ---

Agreed! But in this case, I see that the location of the submission is away from the correct location of the mural. Please note that placing Wayspots at incorrect locations to manipulate the gameboard is considered abuse and may lead to sanctions on your account. ---

Well, it could have been approved in its right location. Few metres difference can occur, sometime position moves unintentionally by itself. ---

> [@ScopelyExpAaron](#): > > It’s policy to reject nominations that are submitted abusively. This sounds reasonable, but shouldn’t the rejection reason match the finding? If voters reject a nomination due to an incorrect or unverifiable location, is the nominator informed of this fact, or do they get a spurious message about their photo or text? Why is the message _ever_ a combo like ‘photo or text’? Shouldn’t the review process resolve to just photo or just text or to both? ---
