Welcome our Community Specialist, NianticTintino
We’re extremely excited to introduce the newest member of the Wayfarer team, @NianticTintino. A life-long explorer and urban planning enthusiast, @NianticTintino is excited to bring his extensive experience in education and building communities to the Wayfarer Community.
In his own words:
Hi Wayfarer Explorers,
I’m super excited to share that I will be your new Wayfarer Community Specialist. It’s been an amazing onboarding experience thus far and I look forward to learning more about all of you and how I can best support you on your Wayfarer adventures. Thanks to @NianticCasey-ING , @NianticPooja , @AnsonNIA-PGO, and the rest of the Wayfarer team for the warm handoff.
A bit about me:
- I come from an education and nonprofit background. I’ve had the opportunity to support many communities in the past and look forward to using those skills to support you!
- I find joy in exploring new places and when I travel, I tend to never plan it but rather will just go where the journey leads me.
- My travel goals are to visit every state within Mexico and every country in South America. Y para los que estén curiosos, sí, también hablo español.
- Nature is my happy place! Oceans, mountains, rivers, lakes… any of those can make any day a good one.
- Likes:
- Hiking
- Exploring new food places
- Camping
- Nights in watching scary movies, rom-coms, sci-fi, and documentaries
- Trying new things
Super appreciative of all the support @NianticCasey-ING has contributed to the community and they have now moved on to other projects. @NianticGiffard and I (@NianticTintino) will be here to support you with new & known issues, events support, etc.
In the next couple of weeks, I’m looking forward to:
- Getting to hear your feedback
- Bringing back AMA’s (Ask Me Anything)
- Ideating ways to make the Wayfarer forums more engaging
- Planning fun events
- Responsive troubleshooting and bug reporting
Once more, I am super excited to be a part of the Wayfarer Explorer community and look forward to all the learnings we’ll have together! I appreciate your patience in advance as I learn the ropes.
- Tintino

Bienvenido amigo, ojala y tengamos una buena relacion con la comunidad. @NianticTintino
Planning fun events
I'm very excited for this, I've talked at length with friends about different concepts for events as well as other ongoing incentives for reviewing that I think would really bring people in.
Welcome to the team! I hope you're able to do good things for and with the Wayfarer community!
Want to wish you a warm welcome! Looking forward to all you may bring to the wonderful world of Wayfarer!
Love the idea of getting some events going!
Quiza seria bueno empezar comenzar con uno de los problemas mas recientes...

Or any one of the dozens of outstanding and neglected bug reports Casey never circled back on over the years. Perhaps you have those compiled, too?
Welcome to the Wayforum, ,@NianticTintino, excited to see what new life you can bring to the party!
Welcome, @NianticTintino! It will be very interesting to see what you come up with. I am glad that the Wayfarer team has finally expanded with a brand new Community Specialist. Hoping to connect and learn more about you soon!
Wishing Casey well for your other endeavours and projects, thanks for your contributions and insights.
@NianticTintino Do you play any of Niantic's games actively and do you use Wayfarer at all?
@NianticTintino I would recommend once you get your bearings set and settle into your new role maybe doing some livestream wayfarer so the community can get to know you better. One of the issues we’ve had in the past was it felt like there was no one behind the screen.
Welcome @NianticTintino!
We've been talking about you for a couple of weeks already. Once you've come up to speed I recommended reading through this discussion. It contains some thoughtful feedback from the community, as well as a display of both the axe-**** and cynicism that you'll be seeing on a regular basis.
I believe your new role is a challenging one. I expect you'll find yourself with ample opportunities to make a difference. (-:
Welcome @NianticTintino!
Hi @NianticTintino and welcome!
Welcome! Happy to have you and good luck in your new role!
Hello!
Welcome to the team and our community! It is wonderful to hear that you are bringing back AMAs, and I hope that bodes well for communication between the Wayfarer team and the community going forward. I especially hope that the AMA isn't arbitrarily limited to a small number of questions given that we havent had a proper AMA in nearly a year since the criteria guidelines were last revamped. There are almost a years worth of questions that are waiting to be asked!
We would also love to see you active on the Wayfarer Discussion Discord!
Nice to have you aboard!
A great many of us LOVE nominating and reviewing. Even if we complain a bit about annoyances. Play up the passion, and address the annoyances, and we'll go great places together.
Welcome! Sounds like you have a lovely for exploring and I'm sure that will be extremely helpful in this role! Looking forward to your success and how it translates to an even more robust community!
Welcome! @NianticTintino
Have you ever been to Taiwan? I think it's a good place.🤩
Welcome to the community @NianticTintino! Looking forward to having you around!
Welcome @NianticTintino and best of luck to you!
Warm welcome to you.
I hope your first task will be getting wayfarer community more feedback on all the technical problems with poi's . Adressing the really bad quality of nominations everywere and the bad experience wayfarer gives a lot of people right now are hopefully on the list as well.
Hello @NianticTintino
I like hiking too, sea, mountains, rivers, lakes, and waterfalls.
I started out as a wayfarer for Pokémon GO spots, but now I've discovered the fun of exploring and want to expand my knowledge of different places.
I'm sure there will be challenges in my work, but I hope we can all have fun while improving.
I'm looking forward to the events where the wayfarer team and users can actually get together and explore.
Welcome to the Wayfarer community @NianticTintino ! We are a large community of Trainers and Agents from all around the world, but we only make up a small percentage of the actual player base of the Niantic games.
I look forward to see what you are going to bring to this community!
As you like exploring, it might be a fun thing to also nominate some Waypoints yourself, you come across on your adventures. So you can see how it's like and what the community is talking about. Maybe even find things that could be improved.
Also, thank you @NianticCasey-ING for contributing to the Wayfarer community for so long, and good luck with your future adventures!
Welcome to the madhouse that is the wayfarer forums 🤣🤣
..... what was censored out? I think I can guess the word but if its right, that's a weird word to sensor
Welcome!
I love nominations and real field research (cycling).
But I don't really like review very much. (Even if the nominations are terrible, rejecting them will hurt my heart.)
I'm looking forward to some great ideas that you will provide. Do you have an idea to have fun emptying your urban backlog?
Adding immediacy to all nominations will surely make visiting Wayspot more enjoyable.
I'd like to visit the latest trendy location and attractive place.
Welcome... Now get to work, you've got a lot to do!
@NianticTintino welcome, i hope you have a pleasant stay at Niantic, and you will learn the ingame mechanics quite soon.
I second that!
