Thanks everyone who wrote here - I tried to acknowledge all the comments. Hope I didn’t miss any. From what you shared with me, the system does seem to have improved immensely since I knew it. That’s positive to hear. I’ll probably start up again, promise to share any difficult nominations here first to get a sanity check.

Now I don’t want to be dumb or anything, but I did that.. but nothing seems to happen. Are there any more steps to it?

The #Criteria Clarification Collection is so helpful! These are also posted at [https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/help/forum-criteria-discussions-library](https://wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/new/help/forum-criteria-discussions-library) and [https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/21-wayfarer/faq/4693-forum-criteria-discussions-library/](https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/21-wayfarer/faq/4693-forum-criteria-discussions-library/) but the way they are divided out here makes it easy to find the one I am looking for.

Hi, as a fellow Wayfarer submitting in Germany, I can tell you the following:

1. submissions are usually decided within two weeks or so, most are even quicker
2. Hit or miss
3. Unfortunately still a thing, but getting better I think/hope. Private property is the most common incorrect rejection I receive
4. If they really are slam dunks, they should be accepted on the first try. #3 though
5. That has never happened to me
6. Still a thing but getting better. If you receive an incorrect appeal decision you can try posting on the forum
7. All ambassadors are very nice in my experience
8. I don’t think Wayfarer really hands out bans willy nilly so ?
