How exactly should I suggest zones? I suggested some last round, but they aren't in the game now.
Should I suggest them in the app, then post some screenshots in this forum explaining my reasoning?
Thanks

The most important thing is to give the zonemaker a hint of the location so they can find the area. Town name is probably the best for locating the right area.

Re: Suggesting Zones
Hi Excelman,
Suggesting zones via the app is great if you've put them in an area that a zone maker happens to be looking at for ideas - but it's going to be hit and miss as to if the suggestions are used. If you have suggestions AND it's in an active area (or it's in an area which really should have zones - but there are currently none) AND the zonemaker for that region has spare zones to allocate, then the best way to get a zone made is to post a request in this forum with as much information as possible. Many of the suggestions posted in the forum are acted upon. Some get a very fast response.
Fastest response would probably be for a location of specific interest that would be worth visiting - for example, if Stonehenge didn't already have a zone, then a post in the forum saying "Stonehenge is a very well preserved Neolithic monument of historical interest, here's a photo <insert photo>. It would make a great location for a zone" would stand an excellent chance of a fast response. However a comment of simply "Can I have a zone on Stonehenge" may get a zone, but might not attract the eye of a zonemaker, who has a limited budget of allocated new zones each month.
Here's an example of a request that got a zone made on the same day: viewtopic.php?t=17445
Cheers,
Fozzie
