Unreasonable Rejection
I travelled to an island just to submit additional portals for the benefit of my friends. I successfully submitted a total of 26 candidates. Having a golden seer badge, I am well aware of the criteria for portal approval. However, only 5 was approved. I was in shock. It is the first time this happened to me. Most of my submissions in that island are places of worship, transit, religious statues. Location is not falsified. Is there a way to revert the rejection? I cannot go back to that island anymore and it felt like my effort and resources are wasted just to be rejected 20 times. It is either OPR is broken or someone else is on a rejection spree. Please help. :(

You cannot appeal rejected nominations. Niantic defaults the the decisions of OPR. The best you can do is to go back and renominate using better photos, better descriptions, and submission statements explaining what criteria the object/location meets.
