The challenge is complete, we’ll dive into it more deeply in a bit.
The appeals backlog seems to be fairly clean? I don’t have any outstanding right now, I’ve seen appeals from as close as July 2023 being resolved. So if you’ve got older appeals you might want to consider reaching out to Niantic, as it might be stuck.

If you forgot to change your bonus location after the last Wayfarer challenge you should be able to change it now.
A while back Niantic asked for Wayfarers to nominate basketball courts on K-12 grounds, and that entire experience was… a dumpster fire right from the get go.
The Wayfarer team is up to 1500 removed Wayspots in the Netherlands, so kudos to the Wayfarer team and everybody who’s involved in that thread on the forums...

There have been reports that the “Coal bots” are rejecting nominations very quickly, so be mindful when you’re making nominations and either go in and edit them or put them on hold asap. I don’t think it’s rejecting them before the “hold” releases, but if you’re used to not getting resolutions for weeks or months you might not think to edit them right away.
We mentioned it last week, but I wanted to mention it again. The Wayfarer team...
