This church 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 crowded of street and is now an ingress only waypoint. Under old edit rules, this would have continued to stay a gym regardless of S14 or S17 rules but is now not a gym in Pokemon GO.
Tonight this gym in my city was converted to a regular pokestop for no reason, even tho no wayspot changes were made today or anything.... Why?!
The gym was moved a few days ago in Ingress but not in PokémonGO, but it was still a gym back then.
Please, turn it back to a gym.

My pokemons that were in Gyn disappeared from my bag, did you lose too?
@NianticCasey-ING , I want my 2 Gyns and 2 pokemons back please.
My pokemon returned after 2 days
Why hasn't this issue been fixed yet? And why would niantic choose the method that would most penalize players?
Lowering the s cell in pogo would get rid of a majority of location edits
@Hydraulinski-PGO How could I have corrected it "years ago"? Pretty sure we just got the option to submit location edits in PoGo a few months ago.
Most important thing is: Will they restore the Lost gym? Do they have a method and the possibility for this?
Another gym got demoted today >:'c
@NianticCasey-ING Hello. There is another example.

@NianticCasey-ING This Gym got demoted to a pokestop after editing location to match the real world location of the wayspot.
Title: Woodbridge Park Bocce Ball Court
Old Location: 38.757607,-121.279934
New location: 38.757516, -121.280048
Again this edit was to legitamtely move the gym to match the actual real world location. A gym that has been in the game for years. Would be great to be able to have it promoted back to the gym it should be.
Thanks.
Hello.
This was edited to make appear another gym, and when it returned to its original location, it downgrade to a pokestop. This gym exists since the game launch, and would be nice to get it back.
I can also provide you the trainer's name that's been abusing edits.
I submitted a location edit for the gym "Chanhassen Dinner Theatre" in Chanhassen, Minnesota on June 12th. I submitted this edit to make the Waypoint more accurate corresponding to the real-world location of the object, to help improve the Niantic Wayfarer Database. Two days ago (July 6th) the edit was accepted. Yesterday, I noticed that Chanhassen Dinner Theatre had be changed from a gym to a pokestop. This was a legitimate edit to improve the location of the Waypoint. The edit ID is: 6iEv69kdXOfvkwRYYVlgilbFSCfFO9XAZrc6vyEio6E=
The waypoint was moved from (44.861486,-93.533383) to (44.861530, -93.533254). The original location was located awkwardly off to the side of the building, the location edit moved it to the front entrance of the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre where the sign in the Waypoint photo is located. I would like to request to have the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre converted back into a gym. This gym has been around since the beginning of Pokemon Go and is a huge part of the community.
Niantic Casey made a statement saying that demoting gyms to pokestops is not the intended behavior of the edit changes, and that you all at Niantic are working on a solution to prevent gyms from becoming pokestops when the location is modified to be more accurate, as what happened here. It would be unfair and disheartening to have our community punished for an honest edit that improves the Niantic Wayfarer Database and would discourage future edits to make waypoints more accurate. I wanted to make the Niantic Team aware of this situation and work towards correcting it. I attached a few screenshots to provide you with some supporting information.
Thank you, looking forward to having this resolved.
Good morning
@NianticCasey-ING
Something similar to what you comment has happened to me. Yesterday, a gym in my city suffered a location edit that no one has asked for and no one came out to assess. This gym moved just a few meters and has become a stop.
Name: Graffity "Niño Asustado"
old coords: 38.097717, -3.629193

It is happening with more gym in the area. A few days ago it happened with another like it, nobody had asked to edit its location and it moved.
Hello, someone edited the gym location and now it just turned into a pokestop.
The poi name is "entrelaçados" and the location is 9.598745,-8.819517
Can we have our beloved gym back again please?
Waiting for an answer!
There was a waypoint in my city that was not at the correct location. I submitted an edit request which was denied, and submitted an appeal which seems to have been accepted without any comments from niantic (?) side. The waypoint was a gym in the pokemon go game for quite some time, and now it became a pokestop again. This is an error. Can you restore the waypoint's status in pokemon go so that it remains as a gym as it should be? I have never seen in my 4 years of playing the game that a gym turned back to a pokestop.
This is the waypoint in question:

There’s a difference between abuse and actually moving the waypoint to the correct location, which I did. Don’t think it’s fair for the community to be punished because a waypoint is in an inaccurate location
Si los perdí pero después de 2 días volvieron
Dear @NianticCasey-ING,
I have also the same issue, one gym from my local area was moved from what apparently was the border of s14 and the gym got lost and another one spawned but as you can imagine, is quite a drama for the local community. To my understanding this is to prevent the abuse of the system which I acknowledge people has been doing and I think it must be punished.
However, what is unacceptable is that you change the criteria and those submissions that someone asked with a previous criteria, get **** up because you suddenly change the criteria. It's kinda funny because then, you don't punish who has been abusing from the system permanently since you are not forcing the rules in your cells in previous cases but just on new cases and instead, you punish someone that casually moves the gym.
I could also give you a location but I don't think is something that is relevant if you engineer team is working on it, I don't think you are going to offer custom solutions to only to those who complain.
Best Regards,
Dirken

This one also turned from a gym to a pokestop! What is happening? It looks like players are better off having waypoints that are gyms in invalid locations rather than try to correct them! This is very bad, because people can completely destroy existing gyms this way, and it can be abused too! Why are the legitimate movements "punished" this way? Now I have to tell all the players in my city to not move any waypoints, even if it means having them in the wrong location, which is not logical.
Quería reportar un error por el cual el gimnasio ex Parque Infantil Antiguo Estadio Colombino ha desaparecido y se ha convertido en parada al ser movido de ubicación, querría saber si fuera posible que volviera a ser gimnasio ya que era un gimnasio muy transitado y concurrido.
Gentlemen @NianticCasey-ING , I think that for the moment the movements are canceled, if there is much dissatisfaction with the measure taken by Niantic, you as a company can easily reverse what has caused such dissatisfaction, I understand that the movements are made in favor of the game to improve access and location, but to take the measure of degrading gymnasiums to pokestop is to go backwards in its advance, I think the problem lies in having the same base for 3 games and that in all 3 it is used in different ways, or they integrate the same ingress distance between portal to pokemon go and Harry potter WU or there will always be this blessed problem, another measure would be to increase in the new cases the creation of gymnasiums to at least 5 per cell in pokemon go and not limiting it to 3 would be another very good measure to stop the movements.
Hello @NianticCasey-ING , we just got another downgrade because of actions of trolls.

The object is seen even on the street view, we tried to downvote this "change" many times 'cause it's obviously incorrect, but here what we have now... worse location and minus one old gym.
@NianticCasey-ING . Si puede deshacer el 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.

Buenas tardes equipo Wayfarer
Tengo la siguiente apelación.
El dia de hoy se ha perdido en siguiente gimnasio
Hello @NianticCasey-ING today we had another gym reverted due to a legitimate location change
The gym in question that reverted into a pokestop is Grafiti Tatoo (screenshots attached below)
The old location of the gym was (40.461151, -3.459058)
The new location of the gym (as intel shows) is (40.46111, -3.459091)
This gym got located down below to match it to where it was, to the mural, and because of that it seems that it changed cells, reverting it into a pokestop.
If this can be returned into a gym we would really appreciate it.
Thank you
I guess this bug only affects when you move the poi from one cell to another one because yestarday I had a gym location switch approved (remaining in the same cell) and after the PGO sync it was still a gym.
Que mal esto André y tremenda lo que está la Plaza de Libertad.
Check my report "Памятник шишке" above. There are many cases when the gym was demoted after moving inside 17lvl cell. Try to check this forum or check reddit if you dont believe me.
