Wayferer ID Got Banned Without Any Fault
Sir,
I love to play both games, Ingress Prime and Pokemon Go and reached the required level to access wayferer which was too tough as I am living in a rural area. I have passed that waferer test from both ids. But recently I got two strikes on my two different ids. One is for pokemon go, email id is "krishnendu.c44@gmail.com"
and other one is for ingress prime, email id is "4godgiftedkrish4@gmail.com"@
. Sir, someone from different community tried to distract our goals which to improve of our area. He posted a fake appeal in wayferer community, he got accepted.
Sir, you have removed over 12 portals, among them all are legal and real and even one of those was a football ground. They were accapted by the community thats why they were live at ingress or pokemon go.
Sir, we belong to a rural city of Hooghly, India. Every portals we have are real and following the guidelines. But sir, wall paintings can't be traced and still he posted all portal links in his appeal and he hadn't given any realtime photo with geo tagged that proves the portal is fake. So sir, review once again and lift that ban from my ids and give us back our loving and favorite portals if possible. Sir, you can check the whole area and portal link is,
Sir, I have added a photo with details in comments which was a portal, removed because of false allegations. Please check that.
Sir, please take any strictly actions on this kind of players who are destroying community and its charming ability. If this kind of players will become more in numbers then it will be tough to make any proper nominations accepted. Please sir, look into the matter. @NianticCasey-ING @NianticKN-ING@NianticAaron-PGO

Even if we accept that all the portals are real and the Niantic team removed them by mistake, you don't actually show any proof of your claims either. If you live in this community, you should take geotagged photos of the murals and post proper appeals in the Invalid Wayspot Appeals section.
Yes sir, but not every phone has that geotagged option. I have attached the portal link, check it. Tell me if there is any violations.
Surely there is a phone in your community that can take geotagged images.
Also, I don't have an Ingress account, so I can't check your link, but even if I could, I wouldn't have any say in this whatsoever. Still, if you want this decision overturned, you should provide proof, because right now the Wayfarer team doesn't have any more information than when they made their original call.
It's not good that you start with "I have got two strikes on my two different ids"
Thats what happend in India specificaly. Here this is a clash of different communities. Thats why here new communities never grow. Big communities become jelous and staring to find faults or angles and cheap tricks to shut down those communities which want to grow. Its a friendly game not a competetive game. Every one knows how hard it is to build a level 40 account. No one is stupid enough to to play without stops and jyms in rural areas for nothing. Removing stops from a whole district calling it a fake nomination hub, what a jock. In other words that player who reported want to tell that , this area have nothing in real world to nominate ? I am sorry sir for being rude sir.
Look, @smvai09-PGO , @KrishnenduC10-ING and all the (suspiciously new) accounts upvoting the original posts.
Someone reported a bunch of fake wayspots in an area. The Wayfarer team looked into it and decided that a lot of those portals are indeed fakes and removed them (along with temporarily suspending account involved in creating them). How or why they made that decision, we don't know, they usually don't disclose this kind of information.
What you're trying to do here is to appeal those removals. In my opinion, that's okay, you have every right to do that. However, you will have to provide at least some evidence that the points of interest (murals, if I understand it correctly) are actually there. If you don't, I don't see why you'd expect Niantic to overturn their original decision.
Also, I'd like to point out that this category (Misc Appeals Discussion) is not the place to do this, what you're looking for is the Invalid Wayspots Appeals category.

sir, this is a screenshot taken from google map satellite view. You can easily see there is a athletic club named 'Priyo Samiti' and also the ground infront of it. Sir, you have removed that portal. Why is this not eligible or it is fake? I can't get any thoughts about that. We lost more portals. Sir, please take a look at it and take actions against those illegal players rising false notification to you guys.
Making up reasons to remove portals/stops/gyms is a very real problem. I’ve never heard of these communities, but there has been a player near me who has made up reasons to get gyms removed. I had to jump through hoops to get one back in the game, and Niantic refused to do anything about the player. I even provided (via email) posts of her explaining her scheme.
All of Those portals were real and were at real location.. i have checked all of those by myself.. those portals are really essential for our community..
@SPD85-PGO we are having the same problem like you had. There are couple of players who are trying to remove real portals without any proper reason. Even all of those portals were accepted by wayferer community, still Niantic removed those.
@NianticCasey-ING @NianticAaron-PGO @NianticAndres
I am playing there from last two years and when we started to get pokestops, you removed it sir. Every single of removed pokestops were real and were at the perfect location. I know the submitter who is also a resident of our area.
Sir, I'm not level 40 yet but I know the process. It is not possible for us to add geo tagged photos as well as 360° photos to prove the wall paitings are real. Sir, you can't compare a city with a rural area. Please sir, understand our problem. If this kind of activity or false appeal works, we can't get new pokestops.
I really, really, really hate to repeat myself, but I will, because this is getting incredibly annoying.
First: THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT CATEGORY FOR SUCH APPEALS. Please, take this topic to the correct one (Invalid Wayspots Appeals).
Second: Provide SOME evidence. There are seven (7) posts here begging Niantic to restore portals (all of them heavily upvoted by phantom accounts, with a suspicious amount having very similar names), but there is not a single photograph of anything. Geotagged or not. The only so-called evidence is a Google satellite screenshot stating that there is a football ground on a piece of lawn that doesn't look like a football ground at all.
Why on Earth do you expect Niantic to overturn their decision if you don't even try to provide any evidence whatsoever?
What kind of phone do you have that has gps to play Pokemon go, it also has camera to make nominations, but you can't geo tag them?
None of the people there can take photos?
All of us tried and didnt find any related options in camera settings. Me and my friends are trying to show the problem but you two guys come with your own community and reply like that. You should know *things change when regions change*. Rural area players like us cant buy an iphone to play or even we cant use every kind of apps like you due to terms and condition issues. So you may win fighting against us but it would be better if you guys help us with the vocals and show us any tips how to stop those threats. Atleast, I don't know Niantic gonna comment here or not, but we have tried our best and thats what a community should be.
I never, ever mentioned my own community. I also never made a comment about your community being rural, either. But if you're able to play and nominate (and also maintain at least 11 accounts names "KrishnenduC[number]"), you should be able to take and post at least a single photo of at least a single wayspot that was wrongfully deleted.
Having many ids doesnt make you guilty. Btw those are just level 4-10. I never played with those for last several months. Yes, I am trying to build up all by myself with the help of our local friends. So what? How can I add a photo here, I did not take screenshot of it. I can add these which ones accepted but removed now.
Others' photos are in that id which got banned.
Having many ids doesn't make you guilty. Yes, I was created those but those are 4-10 level. I haven't played from last year. And I have already added a photo of that ground. I don't know any more ways to prove it and I didnt take a screenshot of removed polestops. But atleast I can add this photos of accepted portals...
And others' photos are in that ingress id which got banned.
This is my final comment here, because apparently asking you for proof and telling you the actual rules of this forum bags you a couple dozen disagreements. You very clearly don't understand what I'm trying to communicate, so I consider this whole thing pointless.
By the way, multiaccounting is against the ToS and considered cheating by Niantic. So now it's me tagging @NianticCasey-ING and the other mods to look into the situation here.
@Nadiwereb-PGO This is a serious matter , please do help us in this regard ...... There are people from some community or the other who are perticularly doing so ......because they are considering themselves to be the so called 'superior ' ........ This seriously needs to be stopped .....and Mr Nadiwereb or who ever you are , if you cannot help us in this regard ,don't charge aligation against us .....if you can help ,do so whole heartedly ,bacause today it is our community , tommorow it may even be yours ......and when it is yours ,it is then that you will come to know the pain that runs down your spine ....... If you are a true Pokemon lover ,you will understand me better ....... Nobody is helping us in developing our area ,so who the hell are they to destroy it ..... Lastly I would like to say that there are people who are coping our murals but those are not getting banned but ours are.....
@NianticCasey-ING @NianticAaron-PGO@NianticAndres
I have tried and got an app on the playstore which can catpure geotagged photos. I don't know if these are working or not, but I'm trying hard to prove it. Here I'm gonna attach 4 of the removed portals. Please sir, do something about this.

Having many id's does make you guilty
From Niantics own TOS
3.1 Cheating
Niantic prohibits cheating, and we constantly take steps to improve our anti-cheat measures. Cheating includes any action that attempts to or actually alters or interferes with the normal behavior or rules of a Service. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, any of the following behavior, on your own behalf or on behalf of others:
So yes by your own admittance you are guilty of cheating and breaking the TOS.
I no doubt you and your multi accounts will now dislike this post, infact I look forward to it, as they will then be able to see which accounts did that and can ban each and everyone accordingly for cheating
I am not playing from this ids. Those were created 2-3 years ago and I forgot their passwords. Thats why this id is my newest id from last year. I have changed 5 devices in this years so this happened. Even admins can check the last activated time of those ids. I have allready told this above. I got 20 insightful in this post. Why are you guys constantly attacking me when we got already attacked by different community? Help us or stay out of this... There is many co ordinates, you can check by yourself our place isn't like yours. We got few of those and all of them are real. In a rural area, everybody is trying to get more. I am helping them as I belongs to this area. Try to understand bro. I have added here every details here with geo tagged photos and cords.
If you forgot those passwords, How were you able to login here with those accounts?
Having "20 insightful" is useless if those are from your multi-accounts.
Can't you read? I told you before I can't access them. Those Insightful comes from my friends who are also trying to help me unlike you guys. Check them...
@Balwaswor-PGO @Psychicsoul007-PGO @smvai09-PGO @AritraNSR-PGO @bishal2410-PGO @joysikdar1290-PGO @6290757128Call-PGO @smvai09-PGO @sudipkrdas @jigliwigli @rawmamba @Ganeshmalo18-PGO @EngSouL-PGO and many more. Why you guys are talking like you know all. Let the admin decide. Our city isn't like you guys. we have only 20-30 in the whole city. Try to understand our problems.
Edited pics don't count as proof :)
Any phone that supports either Ingress or Pokémon Go is capable of storing Location data in photos. :)
Because this entire thread reaks of muti accounting, cheating, and blatant lies.
If they are real people with real accounts then that is good but currently due to your blatant lies in this thread I am highly sceptical
Bro please stop it. Let the admins to look after this matter. I have given everything like Geo tagged images and cords and everything that I should. Please understand us, those anonymous guys are continuously reporting us. We have to stop it. Our village isn't as developed as yours, you have to understand it. We have to encourage new comers or it will be a loss to our community.
We would take you more seriously if you stopped lying.
You know that we can see what the accounts who gave you insightfuls are called, right? We can see that almost all of them are variations of your name. I have screenshots.
Also, I tried to help you. I repeatedly tried to tell you that this forum category isn't the right one for removal appeals and Niantic won't give you an answer here. I also told you repeatedly how this forum works and what you need to do in order to make a proper appeal. However, the only thing that happened is that you gave me 61 disagreements in total, which is more than all I previously got for over 160 comments.
