Keep trying to sign into Wayfarer but it keeps telling me I've been banned... Never done anything against the rules, never got an email saying I was banned, and haven't had any action against my account in any Niantic games (Pikmin, Pokemon, and Ingress are all fine). Keep trying to contact support but they keep telling me my account hasn't been banned, has anyone been through this/can help me out?

Did you delete your account in any game?
No one has said it could be related to a former Harry Potter count... but no one has said it isn't... Did you have a HP account?
This happened to me for a couple of days earlier this month, but I could open the three games you mentioned fine. Also had the same thing, but I only regained access after about 5 days from the original message, which was after the first outage. Not sure what it could be (sorry this isn't helpful)
Yeah I had an account, but it was never banned (and is now gone obviously). But didn’t delete any accounts either, so not sure what I did to get banned on Wayfarer.
@NianticGiffard another one:)
I'm and many others in the same situation friend.
Unfortunately Niantic doesn't separate termination on request from termination for violations.
Sorry to hear that, @Brendan5536-PGO! Since you had already contacted our support team, can you share the ticket number with me?
Unfortunately they never gave me one, only had a Twitter conversation with the Niantic support account, who told me I was most likely banned in one of the games. After reaching out to every one (Pikmin, Pokemon, Ingress), none of them have any action against it. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for sharing the context, we'll look into it.
Hey there, any update? Really want to get back to reviewing, can't let that PoGo badge stay at silver forever haha
Fixing this seems like a very easy way to get more people reviewing.
I hear of many people saying the same thing. I assume a hacker? I received my email today. They told me they warn me about edits on pokemon stops/ gym locations and that I did not listen so I was ban. I never got a warning from them before and each edit was the same ones other players do. Niantic has most of the locations marked in the road so players edit the location to the correct spot. One is a church called the church of Brethren which is marked 5 feet away in a road, so I marked the correct location at the sign. We also have a gym workout place at the WYCA which is a pokemon spot. We have a soccer field that is marked at that same location which makes it hard to access the pokemon stop. The soccer field is atlease 20 feet away from the spot. I can go on, but the point is each one is off from the correct location and google maps can clearly see the correct location which is where I marked it. I know every stop/gym in my town. I am the only one that has got new gyms/stops in my town besides my son and 1 other player. I walk 150-215 km a week so I know all the locations. They assume because people on wayfarer skip or denied it that it is not real. Most people on here skip threw to hit there town. It makes me mad when people do not actually cheek each location. If they had, they would know I was correct. I emailed them many times on changing the location to the correct spot.
I got a ban for no reason and It is our job to fix these issues than we get punished for it. None of them have been in my town so how do they know what is or is not? I know, I play everyday from 7am-11pm when I am not at work.
The other issue is it seems the people who review everything correctly and actually take the time to review are the people being punished. I know there is alot of people on here do not review fairly and never get caught. You can just know by the way things get done and all the fake stuff you see on the map in the citys. This slows down the prosses of things getting excepted. They updated the way they did this a while back and people where glad to here back on the nominations. Use to be a time if I got 10 excepted I would see 8 of them show up. Now I can get 10 excepted and see 1. That makes no since as some of these are not close to others as would be the reason it would be excepted and not show up. They need to fix there staff because I hear of many people like me being ban for no reason. I can still play pokemon go but they threaten to delete that. Wayfarer and pokemon go is 2 different things. They have no authority to do that.
Did you edit the description to tell the reviewers which location to choose?
Pokémon Go uses a Cell System, not distance, to determine what can and cannot become a pokestop.

They do. The Niantic terms of service apply across all products.
Honestly you deserved the ban. Now stop spamming.
