Se podría hacer que el primer gym en una s14 fuera con un simple voto, el segundo 10 votos, 20 votos para el tercero... y los gyms adicionales con 50 votos... da igual, eso es trabajo de Niantic, la idea, a lo que me refiero, es que implementen un criterio que no afecte a la exactitud de la ubicación o a la propia existencia de los POIs (recuerda que desplazando un gym de una s14 a otra s14 se crea otro gym si se cumplen condiciones en la s14 original, empeorando la exactitud de los gyms)... aparte que con el actual sistema (celdas S17, 20 metros..) queda al descubierto un defecto de concepto: no puedes crear un juego de realidad virtual con unos criterios que limitan la exactitud de los POI o su misma existencia. O los pides desplazados porque ya existe un POI cerca o celda ocupada, o no los pides, es decir, HAGAS LO QUE HAGAS, la base de datos de Niantic, PIERDE. Piedra sobre el tejado de Niantic, verdad @NianticCasey-ING??
Sweet suffering Jesus. can you do anything right? Like everyone else has articulated much better than I can right now but **** niantic get it together. Also, perhaps, you know lower the density so it isn't a problem.
Hi folks,
Thanks for your patience while we worked through this situation. I have been talking with the Wayfarer team about this issue and surfacing these examples. I'm happy to report that the team, in collaboration with the Pokémon GO team, have come up with a solution to keep Gyms from becoming PokéStops when the location is modified to be more accurate.
The solution is still in progress, so it's not live at this time, but the team is working hard to get it pushed into Pokémon GO as soon as possible, targeting ahead of the next app update if possible.
Thanks again for your patience and for highlighting this issue! I'll let you know when this is live.
Can I ask what will happen say if a gym is on a boundary of two cell areas, and it moves to the more accurate location of going into a cell that already has the current maximum of three gyms?
@NianticCasey-ING have a gym in my area that is now only a waypoint in ingress.
Gym Name: The Phoenix Bakery
old coords: 35.7214060, -79.1769880
new coords: 35.721148, -79.189335
This business was previously located at the center of town but has moved near the community college. I moved the gym to reflect this, and it’s now no longer in GO. Under old rules it should have remained a gym regardless of s14 or s17 rules. Please rectify this if at all possible, the community would like our gym back.
Here is a pic of the old gym badge:
Haha! Don't get mad at Niantic now. That's the result of the edit abusers. Now everyone has to suffer because cheaters.
@NianticCasey-ING here’s some specifics on a recent gym that now is only a portal in ingress
Name: The Phoenix Bakery
old coords: 35.7214060, -79.1769880
new coords: 35.721448, -79.189335
This business moved locations since originally becoming a waypoint, and so I moved it to the correct location. I submitted this location edit a few hours before location edits were put on hold. It was originally a gym in the center of town and is now an ingress only waypoint near the community college. Under old edit rules, this would have continued to stay a gym regardless of S14 or S17 rules but is now not a pokestop or gym in GO.
I included a pic of the gym badge below as well, not sure what you guys can do about it now but would love to get the gym back!
It sounds fair for me. It got moved out the gymcell, so it was recalculate again in the next cell. Let me guess, the new location already got 3 gym? Or 2, but less than 20 waypoint active on pGO.
Oye, tranquilo viejo
Solution and please
@NianticCasey-ING
After this post, I think this problem should be promoted from "Report a Bug" to "Known Issues"
@NianticCasey-ING Hi, I have the same problem. the gym we had became a poke stop when it moved from where it belonged, and now another poke stop further away became a gym, we lost the gym, if you could solve it please as it was before and it became a gym and the other poke stop, already which in pokemon suport do not help at all. they always entangle you with excuses for other things of what the real problem is. The Gym coordinate is: -11.976608,-76.787143 this is the real gym that became a poke stop. And the pokestop coordinate that is now a gym and shouldn't be is: -11.973156,-76.786199
here they could only solve the problem for us. Hopefully it is resolved soon, that everything returns to normal before the change of June 23.

Yes, it got moved to a new gym cell that already has three gym. However, that’s not how location edits are supposed to work. Gym status has always remained regardless of s14 or s17 rules up until niantic started messing with it after location edits were shut down
So there's such appeal for Gyms turned into Pokestops due to this issue?
Well, a lot of players in my country also reporting same issues so better I let them to know this.
And because it worked like that in the past, a lot of cheater abused this system creating huge clusters with a lot o GYMs in one spot, some with over 30 gym/pokestop in range. I belive that now this will stop, since moving waypoints into the same cell as other will result in one of them disapearing. Abuses will continue, of course, but significantly less often.
Name: Chiesa di San Pietro da Verona
Where it was: 46.230643, 10.184556
Where I requested to move: 46.230491, 10.184500 (nearer to the church, so the edit was totally ameliorative)
The edit was approved on June, 22 but never reflected in game until today. This evening at sync tyme the gym got moved, got demoted to a Pokéstop and the shiny shuckle I put into it to defend is now inaccessible. The badge of the gym is still present (with no icon of defending pokémon), Shuckle is still "defending" both in the "today" panel and in my pokemon box if I use the "defender" filter. Tapping on it gives "Error (2)".
Please, give us back our Gym (it was the first and only gym present in the game when it launched) and give me back my shiny shuckle, please!
Today 2 Gyns turned pokestops and I was defending both, so my pokemon are locked in a "<GynName>, now they are useless, I cant use to fight or transfer.
Niantic should "rollback" everything prior to these changes and think in another solution that works.
@NianticCasey-ING another gym got demoted today.

I literally was telling a local player not even a month ago to not mess with relocating our main Ex gym. It is genuinely very mislocated (it's a statue of a soldier, but is probably 10-15m off) . Correcting it could actually create an additional gym (it would move into a new L14 cell, allowing a new gym to spawn in the old L14 cell)
I literally said "I don't trust it- Niantic can change these unofficial rules whenever the heck they want, don't do it...not worth losing our best Ex gym" (that we actually worked to create). He listened and did not do a location edit. Thank freakin god.
You should have corrected it years ago. Now the new rules applies and it can still disapear if moved.
Not exactly. No one talked about pokemon that remained stuck in those gyms
This is the 2 Gyns we lost in my area at 3pm (-3 GMT) July 02 2020, please rollback and recover them:
Gyn and Original Location

@NianticCasey-ING .
Si puede deshacer los cambios en nuestro caso, realmente sería de gran ayuda y estaríamos agradecidos. Nuestra comunidad está muy enojada y molesta por lo que sucedió, espero una pronta respuesta.
Aquí tienes los gimnasios específicos.
Gimnasio que se convirtió en pokeparada: mural la lucha sigue viva ( -36.778545,-73.096226)
Pokeparada que se convirtió en un nuevo gimnasio: Plaza de juegos Diego Portales ( -36.77853,-73.095191 )
Si puede deshacer estos cambios por lo que sucedió, realmente lo agradeceríamos y nos serviría de mucho, de ante mano gracias.
Aquí tenemos foto para afirmar lo sucedido:
represento un gran sector de mi ciudad, y nos hemos visto afectados por que se estaban haciendo movimientos de gimnasios emblematicos para beneficio de particulares y justo antes de la inhabiliitación de la edición, un grupo salimos para reportarlos y volverlos a su punto original, cual sorpresa que ahora no son gym sino parada, aun cuando segun las reglas de celdas S12 y S14 estos habrian seguido siendo gimnasio, hemos deciddido entonces hacer un solo reporte esperando que mientras trabajan en una solución general, puedan regresarlos que se han convertido de manera injustificada, @NianticCasey-ING ? y que nos informe como es posible regresar otro tanto que movieron sin degradarlos. Nuestro gimnasios tradicionale se han ido, Nuestra comunidad está muy triste y molesta por eso.
Aquí están los detalles:
Gimnasio que fue degradado a un Pokestop:
Nombre : Iglesia nuestra señora de Belen
Coordenadas ubicacion actual: 6.232667, -75.597095
Coordenadas ubicacion real: 6.232416697,-75,5970564
Nombre: Parroquia San Juan de la Cruz
Coordenadas ubicacion incorrecta: 6.2309144, -75.600762
Coordenadas ubicacion real: 6.230856,-75,601365

Ademas de regresar uno gimnasio que fue movido a más de 100 metros de su lugar real, y al hacerlo se volvio parada
Nombre: Los molinos
Coordenadas ubicacion actual: 6.234417, -75.603924

You’ve “come up with a solution to keep Gyms from becoming PokeStops,” but how about fixing the demotions that already happened?
Here’s another:
Name: Bernard Flanagan Park
New Location: https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=42.26205360050327,-71.80447809398173&z=21
Old Location: 42.262023,-71.804515
This (ex-)Gym was moved less than a couple meters into its accurate location. While it now shares a L17 cell with another POI, it is not within the 20 meter radius. It was demoted to a Pokestop today.
If Gyms were going to be demoted, players should have been warned beforehand. We shouldn’t be punished for improving locations because of the abuse of others. Or else, what’s the point in trying to improve Niantic’s POI database for them? Please correct this!
