    Thanks for the appeal, @TNTim-PGO! We took another look at the Wayspot in question and decided that it does not meet our criteria for removal at this time.

    @NianticVK This surprises me, as previous comments I had read from Niantic is that there needs to be safe pedestrian access up to the Wayspot so that it could be touched, which is why fountains in the middle of lakes were not acceptable. Has there been a change to this rule, I wonder?

    Given that Niantic has decided that the Wayspot will remain in the game, can I please instead request that it gets moved to the correct location of the object? I did not submit an edit location request as I expected it would get removed, and I am now too far away from the object to submit the edit request.

    The person who submitted the Wayspot incorrectly placed it at the river bank so that it could be reached, but the correct location is as shown below, 5 metres from each side of the river bank. The correct location should be approximately -33.85934955615196, 121.89443759869974.

    Thank you for your understanding and assistance.
