If you want some help and advice then you can make a topic in #Nomination Support and share screenshots of what was rejected 💛 hopefully we can help. If they were trails like this topic is about then sometimes its a simple case of trying again, unfortunately. Would love to help though, I get how frustrating it can be ---

Just was hoping for more that’s all tbh because I don’t get out as much because I get pain in my legs and sometimes they shut down and I can’t walk and if had the money I get a electric scooter and play but I don’t so I always spin the same stop every time ---

Good legitimate submissions rarely get rejected. Submissions which are ineligible, or don’t meet criteria, or aren’t as described, or are mislocated, but the submitter believes are good submissions, do get rejected. The explanation is often that the submitter doesn’t know what makes a good wayspot. Posting here and getting advice from fellow wayfarers is a very good way of understanding wayspots better, finding out what is good to submit, and adding new pokestops and gyms to Pokemon Go. You might need to tighten up on “Stoke/Burton” as an area, as that is quite a large area. The centre of Burton-on-Trent is well populated so I doubt that is the area you are trying to populate. ---

with the proximity rules, it is unlikely that you will be able to crowd stops and gyms around a single location, if that is what you were hoping for. ---

I’m going to split this into its own topic in Nomination Support. Yes something like a road name or co ordinates would be good. ---

I understand how it is to not get out much with health issues! One thing I’d recommend is to focus on places where you would get out to, even if it’s not every day or every week, so that when you get there you get the opportunity to spin some stops and play on site. You can build areas a bit at a time as and when you have good days 🥰 If you have a favourite pub, cafe or restaurant that you’d visit periodically, those make some excellent submissions! If you have a gym, swimming or pilates membership, those kinds of great places to exercise can be accepted too. If you have a park you enjoy visiting when you can, then try to submit places around the park like the main sign, additional entrances, play equipment, noticeboards, or seating areas/picnic benches. ---

The road name wouldn’t be accepted sadly - because it’s not a place to socialise, exercise or explore. Submissions have to be a good place to do at least 1 of the 3 ---

The road name (or gps coordinates) was asked for to try to help look for suitable candidates nearby, or even see if it is possible to add more game locations there. Be aware that this is a public forum and you have already said that you don’t want to leave your home if you choose to share the location. ---

Another tip I have is to keep an eye out for community notice boards - they are often at supermarkets. If its got details of local clubs or groups on it, then that would be a great thing to try as well. Usually they are rejected by the community and accepted on appeal for me 💛 ---

> [@frealafgb](#): > > accepted on appeal f You hope so. I had to post here about a rejected appeal for a supermarket community notice board in order to get the appeal approved 😕 ---

Lol, you mentioned good things are rarely rejected so I have no sympathy 😉😆 In my experience a lot of good stuff is still quite hit and miss, so getting the help from amazing wayfarers is really helpful 🥰 ---
