>>54701722I kneel anon, many thanks. You are unironically my hero for making it possible to get my homegym, I'll be forever grateful.
Everything related to the forums went smoothly, thank God. After the 3 months of waiting, I submitted my post fully expecting to be met with waytroons all the way. Thankfully, it seems like my post went unnoticed by them (and by the Niantic reps), so I ended up being safe. Something I wasn't aware, though, is that if the waytroons don't swarm your post, you have to bump it weekly in order for a Niantic rep to see it and take action.
On another note anon, do you have any suggestions on how to create stops when the poi in question is not that interesting/not that eligible? I'm trying to make a hotel close to my home a stop, but despite having submitted it 40 times like some anons said, it's still getting rejected; any help would be greatly appreciated.
