Agreements are earned when your decision on a nomination ultimately aligns with the majority decision made by other Explorers; whether the nomination is approved or rejected. Agreements are currently shown as Nominations Accepted, Nominations Rejected, and Nominations Duplicated on your Wayfarer profile page.

 

Note: Reviews of Wayspot Edits are not counted as Agreements at this time.

 

Upgrades allow you to fast-track Wayspots you’ve nominated by having them reviewed by a larger number of reviewers meaning the nomination will reach a decision faster than it would if not Upgraded. Reviewers are awarded one Upgrade for every 100 Agreements reached. When you earn an Upgrade, you can either manually select one of your existing nominations to upgrade or change your settings to automatically apply an Upgrade to an uploaded Nomination. You can view your progress towards receiving an Upgrade on your Profile page:

 

You can apply an Upgrade to a specific Wayspot nomination from the Contributions page by tapping Upgrade on your Wayspot nomination. If no nomination is selected, your Upgrade will be saved for later use. If an Upgrade is earned and there are no nominations available, it's saved for later use. If you have unused Upgrades and make a new nomination, then the Upgrade will be applied automatically.

 

By default, Upgrades are set to apply automatically to a random, pending Nomination. You can disable the automatic application of Upgrades from your Wayfarer Settings page. Tap Automatically Apply Upgrades to toggle this preference. Note that, if you disable it, you will need to manually select which nomination to Upgrade.

 

You can hold a maximum of 1000 Upgrades for future use if you don’t have any nominations in your queue, so be sure to submit a new nomination and redeem an Upgrade before you reach this limit. You will be notified on the Wayfarer homepage when an Upgrade has been awarded or redeemed, and you can see your upgrade history on the Contributions page.

 

Note: Upgraded nominations increases probably that your nomination will be reviewed by the community faster, but do not guarantee a specific review period. Upgraded nominations must still adhere to the same criteria as standard nominations to be accepted.
