Re: Does Niantic actually remove reported Pokestops?
@GiornoGi0vanno-PGO you can edit the pokestop location over the locked distance limit by logging in to the wayfarer page, click the help tab, an orange chat bubble appears. Type skip, choose location edit and follow the instructions.
You will need your email, Pokéstops title, current location and suggested location, and maybe some sort of proof like street view or photos you made. Niantic Employees will look at it and decide within 48 hours. I'm surprised that @NianticAaron didn't suggest this.
I got countless wrongly placed spots corrected with help chat,. It does work over that chat.

Re: Fake Pokestop discovered during an expedition to Antarctica
You didn't repair a damn thing. Firstly, these portals are too far south for any satellite internet provider to have line of sight and provide internet. You have extremely blatantly spoofed here. Secondly, the portals being so far south (intentionally so) means that there are never going to be legitimate players there. There is no quality to be upheld here, as they are not wayspots that should ever be able to be interacted with.
Congratulations, all you've done is destroy the hard work and portal keys of the agents who contributed to building these portals.

They really should've moved them to the Lunar Intel Map.
Though something tells me that if they did, our scientist friend here would suddenly be an astronaut as well 🤔

Re: Community Pool Pokestop
Community pools (e.g. those run by the city) are eligible. Apartment pools (and hotel pools) are not eligible as they are considered residential rather than community. Here's the reference: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/comment/51200#Comment_51200

Re: Fake Pokestop discovered during an expedition to Antarctica
If these Portals are removed, the keys will disappear from the Agents who left them for themselves as a souvenir... If you don't know what you're doing, it's better to do nothing @NianticLC ...

Re: Fake Pokestop discovered during an expedition to Antarctica
So you were on a "research mission", 800km from the nearest outpost, McMurdo Station. And according to your own screenshots, you had mobile service. Just a little fun fact, those 4 lines in the top right of your screenshot, denote mobile service, and will be there regardless of WiFi or not. If you were in fact on location, there would be an "X" marker or something similar over the symbol.

Re: Fake Pokestop discovered during an expedition to Antarctica
Turns out Niantic moved these here from Camp Navarro so that folks could keep their keys so they're legit.

Can you please archive past Wayfarer challenges?
Basically just the title. If I want to create a new discussion, I have to choose a specific Category. But four of them are Wayfarer challenges that happened one or more years ago. They shouldn't be active anymore imo. Sometimes a new user posts in one of these, some think these challenges are still active.

Re: Wayfarer Criteria Challenge - Discussion
At the end of the day, the community holds the final say on what gets accepted. No amount of criteria updates will change that. They need to put gatekeepers with DIRECT access to Niantic to Police the game-board more efficiently. Which in turn will encourage trainers to more closely follow criteria guidelines.
