Why is bars and wooded areas better places then safety of kids playing

aaronpence-PGO

Is Pokemon go just for adults to wear bars wooded areas unsafe places for little kids to play the game but yet open areas and got to remember that not all kids can walk long distances from their house the guy stay in their area their community area like I got 40 kids around my house 90% of them are ages 7 through 10 years old and and we can't get a pokestop up anywhere close by for them to play the game and have fun playing the game unless it's a wooded area or a bar or somewhere far away from their house do I think this is fair no

Be fair to kids that are able to leave the safety of their spots to walk far to play a game that everyone should enjoy playing in a safe not bars tattoos spots woods it's like this is more for predators to lure kids out and wooded areas and round bars unsafe areas and it is for safety have kids and people in general

Wayspots are used across a variety of Niantic games which are played by a wide age range of players.

Niantic have set guidance for what’s acceptable and what isn’t.

If it is not safe for these kids to go off to the locations you have nearby, Nintendo have plenty of Pokémon games on the Switch/3DS that they can play from their own homes.

If you do have any safety concerns, Niantic have a whole team for that.

Then just keep watching the kids and don't let them near such locations just to catch a wild Gligar nearby.

Sounds like you have Pokestop nominations got rejected, can you please show your rejected nominations here?

Hello and Welcome @aaronpence-PGO

I understand the frustration that you have. It can seem very unbalanced.

Wayfarer which is what this forum supports, simply is a process for adding to the database of potential points to be found in real life, that can then be used in the games. There is no control over how they are used in the games.

The root of the frustration is that in some places there are very few things that meet the guidelines for the generic lightship database. A common example can be large housing developments where there is virtually nothing but private houses.

If you feel comfortable about providing the location there are people here who like to help by hunting around doing a virtual look to see what might be possible.
