Maybe my memories fail me, but if a nomination was flagged for Niantic review, they decided them in the past, no?

After 10 days of Niantic review, they are now in regular Voting. 'this new?

I nominated about 60 or 70 poi within the last 4 weeks and the last 3 days I received dozens of completion mails that my submission was decided. The great majority was denied with BS reasons.

I know that Germany has issues with vinyl trail markers: although valid, they are hit or miss in the review and appeals as well.

But not only these were mostly rejected but some metal signs, some club houses and soccer fields were, too. For being in the wrong location, not being accessible or on prp. Total BS and have to waste my appeals again on slam dunk stuff.

Is there a new bot-network running around rejectig everything, like a few years ago in the Netherlands where everything was approved? What is happening? I do not intend to go on those trails again in the next days to submit everything and hope for good luck.

P.S.: I reviewed already more than 16.000 poi and have a few hundreds accepted. I am confident that I understand the process and criteria.

Two poi submitted at the same time on 2026-07-12.

Waited a day, gave both Upgrades. One day passes with both in Queue. One gets into voting, one day later it is accepted.

2026-07-16, the second poi is still stuck in Queue, although upgraded. Since 3 days.
