Apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere, as I was unable to find any threads that are relevant to my issue at a quick glance.

**I have not received approval/denial email notifications in about 24 hours** despite visually confirming new approvals in my Wayfarer Contributions menu. As of writing, my most recent email notification is dated “Wed 29 Jul, 12:36 (23 hours ago)”. I have noted at least two of my contributions being approved in Wayfarer since this timestamp that did not have a related email delivered to inform me of these decisions. Generally, these notifications are quite prompt and I have received them almost immediately after a decision has been made.

It should be noted that I have received other Wayfarer-related emails since that last “decision made” email - specifically for new nomination submissions and reports - so I can confirm that I am still able to receive some emails from **[notices@wayfarer.nianticlabs.com](mailto:notices@wayfarer.nianticlabs.com)**, and these are not being filtered into a Spam folder. I have set up an email filter to sort my Wayfarer notifications into a specific folder and have confirmed they are not being sorted elsewhere as well. As far as I am aware, I only have one email associated with my account so I do not believe they would be sent elsewhere either.

Please let me know if this is a known issue or if there is something I can do to remedy this issue. Thank you!

Hey @zeflind ,

Welcome to the Wayfarer Community Forum.

I see that the emails are being delivered to your email. Infact, there was one approval confirmation email delivered approximately 20 minutes ago.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Best,

Hey NianticAaron,

Thanks for your reply. You are correct, I did receive a new one just after I created this post!

However, I did not receive at least two other emails in the past 24hrs at a glance and I worry there may have been others. Specifically, one for a public pool and one for a baseball batting cage in my city.

I’m glad to see that one has come through correctly today, but I do like to monitor these emails to help me keep track of submissions (manually sifting through is a chore) and would love to avoid missing others in the future. If it was just a minor API hiccup, no biggie, but if it’s something I may have mistakenly turned off on my end I’d like to know so it can be avoided in the future.

Thanks again 🙂

Wow, I’ve now received 24 update emails for every single submission I had In Queue and In Voting denying 23/24 of them. What is going on?

That can happen if one nomination is flagged as abuse, Scopely Explore check this, issue a warning/suspension for that abuse. This _can_ result in all your pending nominations to be automatically rejected.

Alternatively, 23 of your 24 submissions failed the ML check.

Understood, I haven’t had that happen before but do see an email flagging one of my submissions as “misplaced” just prior to the flood of rejections. Just frustrating timing right after I flagged the issue with my emails here on the forum. Thank you for the information.

This enforcement was unrelated to this Forum post. The submission in question was independently flagged as being in violation of guidelines.
