By the way this was submitted as well in the correct location on sidewalks.
Shall I go back and get your statement that a dual use agreement does exist and that you do feel with adults being able to use elementary school fields and vice versa, that you agreed with the rules on schools having to any fields to not be considered parks?
Thread absolutely derailed off topic, and I still don't see a proper argument on why Pokemon go players deserve to review.
This is a bit too quick, but here's OPR at day one of redacted ****.
Seems pretty fine. As expected, the people saying that redacted's **** will affect OPR are scaremongers.
Wish this thread could be closed for good. OP doesn't even seem to wish for the discussion to stay on topic. TBH to me the whole point of this thread seems to be a personal container for OP to not leak into other parts of the forum.
So you submitted some distance from the POI to test if you could fool Niantic or bend their rules? They already gave you their ruling on the North Boundary Road fields on Patapsco High School grounds.
Original mapping on the school for the nests are based on it, that's why it has a wizards nest and the other existing baseball field it could explain why not to remove. My theory on this school is because of wizards and the nest it has from it. If it was originally drawn as a park then it would allow them to remain. Otherwise a map update for the global map and the spawns would need to change as well for all 3 games because it contradicts what it is labeled across them.
My theory is cells lvl 18 are just about 40m apart. And give a pretty good an accurate distance from residential property as to where things can be placed away from prp. Hence the major change to lvl 18 cells for wizards. I think pokemon should change to it too. Or they should go to everyone having ingress spacing.
Sidewalks typically are public space. If they are located per wizards spacing then we should be fine with adding and relocating gyms to proper distances away from prp. Having pokemon players help do it would help get more of the world done faster.
People take their animals to parks, with or with out god d* ** poop staitions. IT'S NOT UNIQUE, DOES HAVE INTERESTING STORIES, IS NOT A PART OF A N Y PORTAL CRITERIA. Please shut up about it and move on to some other pointless banter!
No Niantic is saying not to reject based on the portal appearing a few feet from the POI. This is because the maps can skew placement and they want reviewers to give the submitter the benefit of the doubt.
Please show us in the submission guidelines where they say you can place the portal anywhere you want.
And you are the LONE person espousing this idea that is contrary to Niantic's directives. Despite everybody else telling you the correct procedure, it is YOU that is evidently unable to comprehend. At risk of unintentionally annoying @RedSoloCup , every other person in this thread WILL INDEED start voting as per any new directives for OPR. He will make clarifications to many of the questions posed in his (mostly) monthly AMAs.
The correct procedure for making a submission to OPR:
Align the POI's gps pin as precisely as possible to the actual POI location. Zoom in on the map as closely as possible so that you can be as accurate as possible.
Very rarely this overhead view is out of date, or is in the middle of the woods, or is otherwise difficult to see on that map. In that case, you may have to trust your phone's gps receiver. Align the location as best as you can to that blue dot.
fill in the rest of the information, and submit
The correct procedure for reviewing a submission in OPR:
Try to verify that the red pin matches the actual physical of the POI. Use 5* for "spot on!", 3* for "it's very likely exactly there, but I can't quite determine it because of unavailable imagery", 1* for "liar liar pants on fire". There aren't specific directives for when to use 2* or 4*, so at best use your own personal judgement on how to align the sliding scale.
Judge the rest of the POI as if it WAS actually there. A collective vote of "1*" is, apparently, enough to tank the entire thing. Reviewers also have an option to skip a bit of that work with the "Should this be a portal?" and giving that a 1* review with Location as the reason.
Move on with your life, or to the next portal review, as you see fit.
It is utterly ludicrous to use a sidewalk that is "somewhere near" the POI as the POI's actual location. A reminder, we have an approximate "40m" interaction radius in Ingress, so we only actually need to be NEAR the thing in order to play the game. And for the pokemonsters among us, it is the same distance from the POI in Ingress as in Pogo in order to interact with the virtual object.
Imagine that there are three artworks, or gazebos, or fountains, or whatever other submissible thing in a park, all lined up in a row 90 degrees from the sidewalk. Your silly idea would have us only able to submit or accept ONE of those objects. No, Niantic wants us to walk into the park in order to interact with each of them.
Or these objects could be in a line 45 degrees from the sidewalk, all 20m+ away from each other. But because math (a*2 + b^2 = c^2, thank you Pythagorus), their closest positions on the sidewalk would be only about 14m+ away from each other (14.14*14.14 + 14.14*14.14 = 19.997*19.997, rounded). Absolutely a sad course of events.
And you can either actually learn from Niantic (by way of NIA OPS, our overlords and masters of all things Ingress, by way of @RedSoloCup ) or you can remain ignorant. You've chosen the latter. Sad.
Good because legitimately at this point the score is so poor its not actually affecting peoples reviews or damn how do you even get a poor in a system that is so easy....
Answers
I didn't move or review these. If your location was way off, and they probably were, any reviewer could have felt compelled to move it.
They are still on school grounds so you are ignoring Niantics rules again.
Niantic can confirm they were submitted before an answer was obtained. You can't stop a submission wants its entered.
But sidewalks if it wasn't relocated from by ingress players would of been correct. As baltimore county is responsible for sidewalks.

And back on his made up sidewalk rule 🙄
Here is the location. Can be confirm from all kinds of different views currently.
39.258358,-76.510802
Sidewalks are there and were submitted as the location and directed people not to move it. So it could be tested to see if it could removed.
Thread absolutely derailed off topic, and I still don't see a proper argument on why Pokemon go players deserve to review.

Depends on whose poop

Spacing confirmed already by a football field with 44yards in a cell. 44 yards is equivalent to a 40m.

DOES NOT HAVE INTERESTING STORIES*
Don't pick some random spot that is kinda close . Don 't move them if the POI is not at that exact location.
Otherwise, ask for them to be removed. That is the way this works.
They do not have to be exact location per help for the 1,000,000,000,000 time.....
Doesn't matter how many times you say it doesn't make you correct ∞
It was niantic who said it.....
Note:
A "Few Feet". That's the criteria. 24" to me is the exact location. ∞

Didnt mean that. But ah well that is a few days old.
It is the agents choice on how he wants the community to learn the community.
And you can either actually learn from Niantic (by way of NIA OPS, our overlords and masters of all things Ingress, by way of @RedSoloCup ) or you can remain ignorant. You've chosen the latter. Sad.
And these numbers don't surprise me at all....
