I want:
-A proper title
-A real description
-Supporting info that explains how this place of business meets at least one of the three criteria #NianticWayfarer

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

Not blue, white, or red and with absolutely no context given. How large and permanent is this “mural”? How pedestrian accessible? Is it located where you say it’s located? We reviewers have absolutely no idea. #NianticWayfarer #WayfarerFails

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

This LFL is clearly not located at a crosswalk. Seasoned reviewers will suss out your “I need this in an open cell” pin fudge.#NianticWayfarer #WayfarerFails

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

More on bad pin placement. @wayspotters could do a whole show on the subject! If your LFL is clearly outdoors, don’t pin it inside a building. #NianticWayfarer #WayfarerFails

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

Such an eligible submission, and gosh you can fudge a lot with indoor submissions, but there’s no way it exists outside the building. #NianticWayfarer #WayfarerFails

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

@jepannell But the submitter has the opportunity to adjust the pin location, correct?

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

Pin a business on the building, not 10 feet away on the sidewalk. #NianticWayfarer #WayfarerFail

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

Don’t take something indoors that’s eligible and pin it in the parking lot. #NianticWayfarer #WayfarerFail

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

@wayspotters Agreed!

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

What part about NO SCHOOLS do you not understand? #NianticWayfarer

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

Just in case the title wasn’t bad enough #NianticWayfarer

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

@wayspotters @NianticWayfarer KEEP COAL OF THE WEEK

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

Is this a honeypot? The description was so strong and then the submission photo just seems purposely bad.

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

“Neighborhood” little free library almost always means “Reject this, it’s on private residential property.”

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

Which party of “not on school property” do you not understand? #Wayfarer

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

Which part of “obstructs emergency services” do you not understand? #Wayfarer

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

Umm, if you can potentially unhook the sign and roll it up, it’s not permanent enough to submit.

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

@BlameJamal one of yours? 😍
#twostorymural #votetoapprove

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

We need to talk about descriptions that are exact copies of the title or a simple rephrasing. This is a clue to reviewers that you didn’t put much effort into your submission. Should this be a reason to reject?? Your thoughts @wayspotters?

[ThumbsDownRejects @OneStarRejects]

And this is why you should have to pass a test in order to submit in #NianticWayfarer
