Hello all, I’m very new to nominations and was only recently able to start trying. I read up on the guidelines only after submitting, of course, which has landed me a warning for a fake nomination. I was curious and very cautious of even attempting to submit another nomination at the consequence of …

Hello and welcome, Neighborhood signs typically are seen as ineligible. They are seen as just ads for the neighborhoods put up by the developer and being indistinct. The signs in certain areas may also be the same, making them more indistinct. It’s also hard to see them as being great places to …

Okay thank you. The only thing i don’t understand is that directly across from my neighborhood is another sister neighborhood which has a “gazebo” which is valid as a wayspot and pokestop in game. It’s clearly very old judging by the photos. I’ve personally visited the neighborhood before and was li…

You have come to the right place, ask questions before you cause yourself any problems. Being private is not against criteria, as long as some people are allowed in then it is eligible as long as it meets the other criteria. The community pool is definitely a good shout, go early or late to take i…

A good mindset to have when submitting is “is this something that would make a good wayspot” (exercise, social, exploration), as opposed to “I want a wayspot here, what looks best”. Gazebos are intended for socialisation, therefore they meet that by default as it is their primary purpose.

Gazebos are seen as places where one may socialize with others, so they usually are considered eligible. Also, a private neighborhood doesn’t exempt it from having Wayspots as long as there are people there that can access them. I think the reason this was rejected as unsafe is that someone may ha…

Thank you very much for the advice. My only issue with the gazebo pokestop is that i’ve only been able to visit AT NIGHT. I’ve gone during the day and have been literally kicked out before.

But you don’t live there, so they are able to keep you out. Gated communities and other restricted neighborhoods are not ineligible locations, and this is listed in the tooltip for Appropriate when reviewing: [image]

As stated, just because you are not allowed in doesn’t make it ineligible. As long as the people of that neighbourhood can reach it then it is suitable. Will they be allowed to your pool?

If they have access through a resident yes or if they happen to wander in through the gate somehow. Anybody can get in.

Is this a viable way spot?
