Appeal Denied - Thanks for the appeal, Agent. We took another look at the Portal in question and decided that it does not meet our criteria for removal at this time.
@NianticGiffard please be more specific.
We are very interested to understand how a portal inside a private Island without access, created by a spoofer player and conquered/linked by the same spoofer player with new account, can be considered by Niantic as a legit portal.
Please be aware that for italian law it's forbidden to trespass a private property. Keeping such portal could be interpreted as an incentive from Niantic to break the law

Hi there! I understand your concern however I don't have the details to share with you regarding the appeal's decision. I would suggest you directly reach out to our dedicated team through our in-app support for insights on this.
Did the objects still exist in that island? Too bad they're not fakes.
The owner is the only one who can and should request their removal directly to Niantic.
I believe Niantic rules are so contradictory. Like they tell you not to trespass while playing their games but they let people make wayspots inside private properties and keep them even after others report them. In my opinion this behavior only promotes spoofing and trespassing, I've seen myself obligated to trespass into a private condominium just to take down a portal located inside since there's no other way to do it (except from spoofing). Then they come out with this "the owner can request for the location to be removed" but does the owner even care? do they even know there's a wayspot that's blocking and making the game harder to play cause the damn portal is unreachable? (speaking of ingress specifically)
What I can read from these rules is that i can make a sculpture inside my property then make it a wayspot, and scr*w other people's playability with it and niantic will be ok that. Please Niantic, review your tos, cause this is not healthy and only promotes trespassing and spoofing as these wayspots inside private properties are allowed but then again u tell us not to trespass while playing, so how do we play?
Per our investigation, we’re unable to retire the Portal in question as already stated. If you have additional evidence like geotagged images or articles, please submit a new appeal with additional information and we’ll give it another look.
No, you already did take action to the Wayfinder involved with this.
Someone else has already reported the same Wayspot, yet you only took action to a Wayfinder but not the Wayspot. I thought it was another fake?
