Re: Fake Pokestop discovered during an expedition to Antarctica
According to to the Polish players that have commented in this thread, this might be another account by a person that was trying to destroy the game play for as many people as possible in Poland, and now he must be glad to be able to destroy things that affect worldwide players.
Niantic didn't do anything to prevent his bad behavior when it started to show up, in fact they encouraged it and despite being banned in the forums he got two prizes in the latest challenge, one on his own and another with some German wayfarers.
So he must be celebrating all the people that has been affected by his twisted mind.

Re: What do you determine as “a few feet”?
If as a Go player if I am walking down that street above I can still see both the poi. Is it not better for me to learn about both poi as opposed to only getting to see one of them?
I disagree with your reasoning, as I'm sure you know :) , the map is not yours or mine. It belongs to Niantic who are more than happy to flout any rules that players, Ingress players mainly, seem desperate to hold onto.
Re: Wayfarer spots being rejected when they clearly meet the criteria
@Hosette-ING Thanks for your response.
That AMA clearly states that pools within hotels and multi-family apartment complexes should be rejected. But, if you read through that thread, several different Wayfarers asked Casey to clarify whether HOA locations should be included in the group to be rejected and Casey never responded. We are left to interpret what Niantic meant based on the words used in the clarification.
The AMA uses the words "residentially-focused locations" to describe pools to avoid. I think a pool within an apartment building is residentially-focused because it is within the building where tenants live. I think a pool within a hotel is residentially-focused because it is within the hotel where people temporarily live. But I don't think an HOA swimming pool is residentially-focused, because it's on a separate piece of property where no one lives.
I can understand that some might think that "residentially-focused" refers to pools whose membership is limited based on residence, but in that case most public pools in my area would also have to be rejected (despite being specifically listed as eligible within that same clarification) so that doesn't make sense to me.

You have no control over who will post in here. Please stop making such drastic suggestions as you're doing the same thing in the Ingress topic.

Re: Fake Pokestop discovered during an expedition to Antarctica
No, it's not like any other continent because you can't go there for a walk, you can't get mobile signal, etc...
I really wonder what was in the mind of @NianticLC to take action on those portals instead of banning you. In the last challenge @NianticTintino-ING showed that they don't care to reward abusers, but this is incredible.

Re: Fake Pokestop discovered during an expedition to Antarctica
You talk about the "Quality of Pokéstops". What quality are you talking about? Because it is a fact that 70% of the nominations to be evaluated in Wayfarer are of very low quality, that they do not meet most of the criteria and that they congest the application system. I think your comment is more of a "cry" than an opinion.

Re: Fake Pokestop discovered during an expedition to Antarctica
Also your statement here is BS. If you care about quality of Pokestops in Antarctica, then why don't you care about it in your country, which have countless number of reports and dramas across this forum?
Or should I ask @Robert4444-ING to see if the expedition by the govt is actually happened or not?

Wayfarer forum staff: “Can’t see why these PokéStops exist. Don’t need to check with any non Pokémon GO teams. DELETE!”

Re: What do you determine as “a few feet”?
I can't disagree with you. If the owners of the map shared your care and sentiments it would be great.
They haven't, they don't and they are not going to.
