Wait. How many ingress players complained that pokemon players shouldnt get opr?
Hi, not one of those people. OPR for PoGo is inevitable.
Their main concerns was multiaccounting and spoofing. Yet they say it's not cool to remove a spoofing location? Irony.
Spoofing is not cool full stop. Allowing spoofing to affect the game whether by adding new fake stops, or making legitimate stops be removed because of people with ridiculous excuses, neither is a legitimate concern.
You don't get a pass because someone else was an idiot too.
Some people do fish daily, weekly etc, I believe fishing is a fantastic hobby or for some to make a living. That doesn't change the fact you are trying to pass off a generic picnic table as a Local Hotspot. You will not, not ever get a generic picnic table passed.
My local park has a couple stop signs so because they are in the park that cool?
Actually for the most park they won't remove a "bad" or "poor" quality portal just because. It has to break a rule such as being on K-12 School Grounds. Sometimes its even hard to prove something no longer exists. Easiest way for a removal is K-12 or someone reaching out about PRP.
Your only argument is "Resort to absurd extremes". Invalid portals should be removed, valid portals should remain. Just because spoofers could use stuff isn't a reason to deny or remove it.
You'd be hard pressed to dig a deeper hole with a shovel and pickaxe.
Yes, Fishing is adventurous, I would even consider it a sport. However, unlike a traditional sports field it doesn't have something that can be tied to a specific POI so not really anything to be submitted aside from the occasional signage possibly.
The portal itself would not be related to fishing, it would literally be a picnic table. Which again is a generic thing. If you put a picnic table on the moon its still just a picnic table. Now @GearGlider might argue for that one a little bit.... A picnic table at a park, a sports field, an amusement park, a office outdoor break area, they are all just picnic tables....
Now if you work with your city and get all those picnic tables painted to look like fish! Now those would be absolutely approval-able.
Crazy logic you have sir. Yet you feel piers and boatramps are valid. And fishing is a sport, hobby and people do it daily at parks at specific locations typically to fish? That I think you should think about for a few minutes instead of rushing your response.
Fishing spots with a picnic table. A common thing at parks can be allowed if their is significant use.... yet you are saying fisherman do not go to specific locations daily? You might want to reach out to a few of your fishing friends ask them their opinion.... because you are wrong on this.
I am not rushing my responses and don't have crazy logic. A picnic table is just a picnic table unless there is something significant about them. Because its never to a local fishing spot doesn't make them significant. Are they probably used more? Absolutely.
Oh, there are plenty of people who fish daily, I never once said they don't and a lot of them go to the same spots over and over.
Overall its still just a picnic table. You can disagree all you want but, most people would agree.
Titles and descriptions can make a common picnic table eligible.... and per guide if you can than its allowed. You don't need to paint a table for it to be approved.
Community outdoor seating areas as places are another similar aspect. They promote the community to use the picnic tables for what they are intended for. No difference then a playground. Playgrounds are used to play.
Huge difference.... one is an eye-sore the other is appealing to look at. Again its not all about how it looks, but when you have a common item like a PICNIC Table which literally says don't submit unless its special it kind of is.
Fishing spot is adventurous activities per your agreement, yet you say not a hidden gem? Yet under hidden gems are adventurous activities. A popular spot to the fishing community. A popular spot where locals gather that the community may not know about. Tourist spot that showcase local culture at a Park, who would want to take their child fishing for the first time.
I agree fishing’s is adventurous and could have a Portal, however you have no POI related to the actual fishing to submit. The picnic table itself is unrelated to the fishing and the adventurousness surrounding it.
Disagree. It provides a location for families to sit while fishing because that's what people do. An area for them to spread there fishing gear out to see which bait or lure they are feeling lucky with.
Is there a sign stating that the location is a designated fishing spot? What about an information board about the diffrent kinds of fish that live in the river/lake/bay? Those are acceptable portal candidates. A picnic table on the other hand is a definitive no. Just because it is a man-made object does't mean it is a POI.

Nope. I said at parks and always have....
Some families go fishing daily... some families go fishing on vacations why because it is relaxing, fun and exercise.....
Stop signs and street signs dont. That is clear. But signs are allowed at parks. Doesnt matter what the signs are. They are allowed.

With that logic. Portal removals should be removed then. And once a portal is approved you shouldnt be able to remove it.

So... fishing is an adventurous activity correct? In your opinion?
Yes, Fishing is adventurous, I would even consider it a sport. However, unlike a traditional sports field it doesn't have something that can be tied to a specific POI so not really anything to be submitted aside from the occasional signage possibly.
This was something you could have tried to get clarified yesterday instead of arguing about an island...just saying
How is a fishing spot with picnic tables that is used by all members of the community at a park where there is shorelines not portal worthy?
The portal itself would not be related to fishing, it would literally be a picnic table. Which again is a generic thing. If you put a picnic table on the moon its still just a picnic table.

No difference in this.... to this...
Valid portal submissions for adventurous activities at parks.
Based on the descriptions...
A hidden gem is something off the beaten path.... what are fishing spots?
Lets get something straight, I would deny both of those... That top one is a generic little dock and not a pier...
Titles and descriptions can make a common picnic table eligible.... and per guide if you can than its allowed. You don't need to paint a table for it to be approved.
Community outdoor seating areas as places are another similar aspect. They promote the community to use the picnic tables for what they are intended for. No difference then a playground. Playgrounds are used to play.
Again not what they mean by Hidden Gem but okay try it and see how well it gets approved.
Like I said go ahead submit it all you wan't it will be very difficult to get approved as its Generic.
That is your opinion. Only 1 criteria is needed to be met for a full review.
A picnic table painted is no different than a picnic table not painted. Title and description is what matters....
Huge difference.... one is an eye-sore the other is appealing to look at. Again its not all about how it looks, but when you have a common item like a PICNIC Table which literally says don't submit unless its special it kind of is.

Eye sores are everywhere, things don't have to be pretty for them to be approved and help the community.

Disagree. It provides a location for families to sit while fishing because that's what people do. An area for them to spread there fishing gear out to see which bait or lure they are feeling lucky with.
... is that the pier/dock from your lawsuit? I really hope you are not trying to get something on your private property approved.
Nope. Pier is at a park. Ours is nicer.
Just making sure. You do have a history of putting things where they don't belong so can't blame me.
Is there a sign stating that the location is a designated fishing spot? What about an information board about the diffrent kinds of fish that live in the river/lake/bay?
