Inaccessible Wayspot
Screenshot showing how far the Wayspot is from the main street
This wayspot is inside a security gated apartment for residence only and is not accessible to the public, even while on the street behind the apartment I can't hack the portal in Ingress or spin it in PokémonGo
Country: South Africa
City: Centurion

Then leave it. Wayspots inside gated apartments or residences are fine as long they're not located within single family private residential property.
It would normally be fine by me but in Ingress there is this thing called Machina that makes the game harder and having inaccessible Wayspots is really a headache and in Pokémon Go if you're lucky to get close while on the wall at the other side that's the only way you will be able to leave a Pokémon in the gym also as much as it meets the criteria you pointed out shouldn't Waypoints be Accessible and have pedestrian access cause for all I know the POI isn't even real because nobody around has ever actually seen it
Welp it looks like Machina wins. GG. Frustrations with any particular game doesn't affect eligibility in Wayfarer. ***You are not entitled to access every Waypoint.* **
There might be a way to reach the portal for capture and key. But I am not certain you would be able to us the thing. You could send me a pm with portal link, and I can take a look.
But of not reachable at all, I would suggest you field that machina, and keep it under field. You could possible also neutralize the portal with highlevel bursters. (Has longer range)
keeping that portal fielded, will prevent machina from spreading.
Capturing is impossible as I've tried multiple times and with busters I'd need like 15 level 8 busters though even that won't reach all resonators or I'd have to walk to wherever the link from this portal leads to
The only Wayfarer eligibility that Poi has is that it's not on a single home otherwise it fails the rest of the eligibility criteria and what fun is a Poi only spoofers can reach like where is the Interest In That Point ****.
Plenty of weathervanes exist as Wayspots. Just because YOU can't access it doesn't mean no one can. The people in that gated community are permitted to have a Wayspot there.
Individual game strategy discussion is not appropriate here, as this forum is about appealing rejected Wayspot removal requests and reinstating wrongly removed Wayspots. Such strategy discussions would be more appropriate here: https://community.ingress.com/
Thats why I wrote pm me instead.
But comment doesnt show 👀
Lolzzz I don't even know how to PM as I just created this account yesterday for that one specific portal but lemme figure it out and PM you cause I think the other guy flagged the comment ☻️😨
My bad sorry about that, they say we learn something new everyday lol
There is even Waypoints in Antarctica, so really I'm fine with inaccessible Wayspots that can be reached one way or another but this one is unreachable at all and I can't even do Raids in this gym while next to it so at least if it goes down another PoI will become a Gym and likewise in Ingress, my issue is not for one game really

Can it be removed or it stays
It will stay.
This forum is for appeals, so you must request first the removal through the game, and the removal reason must fit one of the valid ones.
The fact that you can't access a wayspots is not a valid removal reason, other people that work or live there can access it, you should try to become friends with them.
you could always use telegram, Amaterasunkpg
Nobody works there, it's just residents also I have tried multiple time's to get in the place with no luck and I already reported it using 3 different criterias it doesn't meet in both games also there is like 5 people that play Niantic games around my area and non of them can access it so who is it benefiting but anyway thank you for the feedback.
Scroll down to the second criteria clarification here and you'll see from Niantic directly why Wayspots like this one will remain: https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/10321/november-ama-your-questions-answered/p1
Nominations and edit submissions may be entirely rejected if it meets at least one of the following rejection criteria
Does not seem to be a great place of exploration, place for exercise, or place to be social. The object is mass-produced, generic, or not visually unique or interesting.
Abusive location
I don't think providing an advantage to Machina counts, bucko.
Here is the relevant text from the AMA I linked:
"How does “publicly accessible” apply to locations that have limited access, like members-only clubs, gated communities, time-restricted areas?
It's fine, thank you very much for the heads up though their rules contradict themselves cause what I sent is also on the Wayfarer rejection list, my problem is not with Machina or the hard to access Gym it's with a Poi that's advantageous to nobody around my area
We will see what they decide then if no I can move on to a petition as the whole community agrees in the Telegram group
Why don’t you go when a realtor is having an open house or when they are doing trick-or-treating for Halloween or some thing like that?
Then Giovanni of Team GO Rocket might stay in that Pokestop for a day with no one unable to beat him other than residents of that apartment who play Pokemon GO. You got my point?
Send me a pm instead, since I would have to ask you questions about surrounding area since I have no local knowledge. TG would be ok, Amaterasunkpg
Thanks for the appeal, @SaGeGlenn-ING. It looks like we haven’t gotten to this request yet or it hasn’t been submitted via the Scanner; at this time, we only take appeals to overturn decisions we’ve already made.
Hahaha there is no Halloween in South Africa 😂😂 I'm starting to even feel like a bad guy
Nobody plays Pokémon Go there 😑 the Wayspot is like 10 years old though and it used to be fine when it was an open space but now it's not open anymore
Good day @NianticRN, thank you for your reply, I have reported it in the Scanner and even Pokémon Go and it got rejected both time's thus I created an account for this forum as a last effort attempt because the PoI is ruining gameplay
