Re: Why a wayspot with less like, Is now a Gym?
Hi,
Fundamentally the algorithm that determines which will become a gym occurs outside of wayfarer as it is determined by the games team. So it’s not a wayferer question.
My memory is that there was a post made at several years ago I think it might have been Casey 🤷♀️ where they clarified that determining gym selection was manipulation of the gameboard so should not be done. They did alter the selection algorithm and said it was random.
Re: Two new locations approved months ago not showing in pokemon go
If they are already correctly placed it can be considered Wayfarer abuse to move them just to change the map of a game.
Re: Wayspots for pokemon/Ingress in conflict?
short of situations where past abusive behavior created unusual situations, the "S2 L17 thing" absolutely applies there and everywhere.
Re: Request to remove duplicate photo
Thanks for the appeal, @VAMArtisan-PGO. Based on the evidence provided, we’ve removed the duplicate image of the Wayspot.

Re: LDS and Niantic Games
I've just received two identical name and description edits for different LDS churches in different cities in Alaska, the exact same changes as others have been reporting. I wouldn't have even noticed except they were given to me consecutively and it then immediately struck me as unusual. I can't say this is a coordinated effort but seeing as these are coming in from across the entirety of the US, it certainly has that appearance. Does it break any rules? Don't know. But it seems... Strange.
Edit: I've received another two in the past twenty minutes, all in different cities across Alaska. This seems, to me, to be coordinated. I can't think of another explanation for this.
Re: Wayspots for pokemon/Ingress in conflict?
Give it time.
I'm sure they are working on a response now, it's not like they'll just shut down the forum and leave you all out in the cold
Re: Location edit >65m
Just ignore that guy. Or please report his comments.
@NianticAaron your forum filter didn't work properly.
Re: Trailmarker
You seem to be really against trailmarkers?
Maybe a nice long walk would clear your mind.
Re: Invalid Wayspot Appeal: Mantua Cat Park
Thanks for the appeal, @arealrarewheel-ING. We've moved the wayspot to its correct location and decided that it does not meet our criteria for removal at this time.

Re: Wayspots for pokemon/Ingress in conflict?
ingress came first, so maybe your game ruins the game we like to play?
purely hypothetical of course, we all know neither game ruins the other. it's really a terrible way to frame the situation.
