The question involved safe pedestrian access, which @RedSoloCup reaffirmed that the object must be safely accessible by foot. No where does he state that misplacing the marker to a "safe location" makes the portal valid.
One of the criteria for eligibility is the object in question needs to be accessible by foot. If the fountain is in the middle of a roundabout with no crosswalks leading up to it, it can be considered ineligible and removed. If you feel the candidate was removed incorrectly, you can post a public appeal in the Community.
If you can't walk up to the edge of the FOUNTAIN it's not valid. i.e. If it's on a roundabout or it's in the middle of a lake, it's not a portal. That says NOTHING about faking the location.
No. Its them confirming that it needs to have accessibility and the portals are allowed to be quite a few feet away as long as they can be visually seen from the location. That is exactly what it is doing with the answer....
If I can safely walk up to the water fountain and touch any part of the fountain's structure (usually the basin), then it is generally valid. If I have to cross the road in a place where there is no crosswalk or walk into the road at any point to reach the fountain, then it is invalid. For fountains in lakes or ponds, since there is no way for me to walk to it and touch any part of the fountain's structure, they are always invalid, even if you put the marker on the shore.
Because they have no accessibility! If they had accessibility then they would be allowed. Back to where we started. If they had a sidewalk at the shore then it would be allowed. Physically touching is not a requirement. Visually seen is a written requirement.
Then the examples in the OPR documentation are "wrong" because you can "see" the object from the sidewalk across the street. @RedSoloCup was "wrong" in his AMA answer that portals in roundabout are invalid because you can "see" the object from the neighboring sidewalk, regardless of whether there is a crosswalk or not.
But "seeing" isn't want determines if an object is a valid portal. It is being able to physically access the object at its real-world location that determines validity.
It's confirming they need to have accessibility. And if you have to fake the location, its not accessible. There is nothing in that about being visually seen or placing the portal away from the POI.
What you are doing is taking an answer, adding 70% more words that don't exist, and then lying about it's support for your claim.
"A implies B does not necessarily mean that B implies A" is being summarily refuted by a member of our community. We haven't figured out how he did that exactly, but his certitude is undeniable. I just thought you should know, because I used to like math.
No I am reading right. It does not say the poi real world location. It says the portal location in real world. So if a portal is on sidewalks it is allowed.

Yes they did. Check the AMA response on water fountains from august. It was clear and written.
They didnt say to place the marker on the sidewalk in the Water Fountain AMA, they just said the fountain needs safe ped access. DUDE READDDDDDDDD

How else do you get a water fountain approved. It has to be located near foot access.....

Not what is written. That is your opinion.... what's written is what is written....
That is in opr help.... on how you are to rate a portal review.... not a poi review....
ACCEPT if it has pedestrian access, i.e. agents can walk up to it. REJECT spouts in the middle of the lake with no access.

You have posted this image 10+ times and every single time you appear to be reading over the words "real-world location"!
Real world location is not where you place your pin
No I am reading right. It does not say the poi real world location. It says the portal location in real world. So if a portal is on sidewalks it is allowed.
Yeah, it's time to go back to school.
The POI IS the portal.
No. They are different and describe differently by niantic.
No they don't you are literally making your own rules as you go...
Yes they do. Your just assuming the portal and the poi are the same.
What is a portal?
A POI that meets Niantic's criteria for a portal, yea silly goose. 😉
