In Pokémon GO there is now a change in the confirmation of PokéStops. When a stop is rejected, you now receive an explanation for it.
What players are reporting: On Reddit some players show that they now also receive a reason for a rejected PokéStop. It is stated that a stop was not confirmed because, for example, the image was too blurry.
This should please many trainers, because then you can also know why the submitted stop was not implemented. If only an image is blurry, then you can quickly make another suggestion.
Players finally receive info on their PokéStops
This is new: Previously, you received an email when you submitted a PokéStop. Once the stop was evaluated by Ingress players, there was another email with the confirmation or denial.
You will still receive such emails, but the message in case of a rejection is now longer. It states the reason for the rejection. It is always the main reason from the Ingress community.
In an email from a trainer on Reddit, there were even 2 reasons. He had taken a blurry picture and the PokéStop seems to be on private property.
That’s why the change is so good: Often, the frustration among submitting players has been great. They found the perfect PokéStop, which meets all the guidelines, but in the end, the stop was rejected.
Now you can find out whether the stop actually violates the guidelines, or if simply the photo was too poor. With a bad photo, you can simply re-submit the PokéStop and focus on better images this time. This increases the chances enormously.
There is still criticism here: Some trainers report that they would like to receive a confirmation or rejection email at all. They submitted PokéStops, but even after weeks there was no reaction.
You must note this: You can already submit PokéStops in Germany, but only from maximum level 40. Below that, the feature does not work yet. In Austria and Switzerland, this function is also not yet available.
