Or just try to hit 20 waypoint and get the third gym where the previous was.
Provided that they haven't already hit the 3 gyms in that cell and that they can manage to find all the wayspots that they need. I think that they would like to have 3 gyms anyway, so if they haven't done so it's probably because in many places it's too hard to find 20 valid wayspots in the L14 cell (and why people create fake wayspots or try to submit absolutely anything under the sun)
Has anyone moved a gym to a L14 cell which already has 3 gyms? Does the moved gym remained as a gym or got demoted to pokestop?
I tested 3 days ago, the Gyn moved was demoted and the other Gyns at the L14 remain untouched.
But we gain another Gyn at the old L14 in a better location for everyone! 😉
Hey! Thanks for the answer. 🙌
I did one more test, I moved a Gyn inside an S17 cell, just to put it closer to the wayspot and everything stays as before, no surprises with this Gyn and the others.
You live your life on the edge, dontcha? 😂
It will need 2-3 days but it will be back.
oh, that's actually a very valuable information.
Thanks for sharing. I almost made this mistake.
@NianticCasey-ING How is this going?
Where should we report demoted gyms? Is Niantic restoring them?
Niantic took a weeklong break to gather new energy (and maybe seek help because of our critique).
Anyway, they are back now since a week, and basicly nothing happening. Working like intended .
Where should we report demoted gyms? Is Niantic restoring them?
Nowhere. Niantic won't do anything about it. They don't care about the players. We can tag @NianticCasey-ING all we want, but nothing has happened here so far. It's ridiculous, really.
And to the people who say that I should simply nominate more Wayspots, so that the affected L14 cell reaches 20 POIs and gains a new Gym: That's not possible in my case. I've already spent the last year nominating all the things that I could possibly nominate in my area. All that's left in the L14 cell is private residential area and nature. If it were so easy to have 20 POIs in every cell, every place in the world would already have that.
It's so devastating, having done so much free labour for Niantic, only to get my area destroyed because Niantic didn't think their stuff through before applying changes.
I have a similar issue but I am still being able to get those 20. Were 7 when I started, now 17 already and everytime is harder to get them accepted but well, pretty sure soon I will be on 20. You would be surprised of how persistency can help you to get a wayspot, if you think it's eligible, keep submitting it.
But well, I understand that if you only are submitting from one account, it can be not worthy. Focus on other gyms at the moment and just submit some of these when you don't know what to create.
Indeed, I don't recommend you to boost those wayspots you thing are difficult to be accepted, at least in my case, seems that only idiots evaluate when you give boosts and if they have to slighltly move the maps to see it, they already deny it :)
@Dlrken-PGO
I single-handedly got the L14 cell from 9 POIs up to 17 POIs, so we're in a similar situation. I know that persistency can help a lot; one of my nominations took 8 attempts to get accepted...
But at this point, trust me, I've really reached the limit for this L14 cell. There is nothing left there anymore. It's all just trees, empty grass fields, single-family houses with private backyards, and a kindergarten. There is nothing left that would ever be accepted. We are screwed forever, unless we make up some fake nominations -- and I'm sure Niantic doesn't want that, right? The other option would be that @NianticCasey-ING simply helps us restore our old Gym.
"I don't recommend you to boost those wayspots you thing are difficult to be accepted, at least in my case, seems that only idiots evaluate when you give boosts"
Oh, don't worry. I haven't used any Upgrades since the day our Gym got unfairly demoted. I have boycotted Wayfarer since June 25th and I won't start reviewing again until I receive a proper answer here.
e ai, nada?
so... did you guys get your gym back?
It = pokemon. The pokemon will be returned in a few days.
Our community successfully moved a gym to a different S2 Level 14 Cell. The following day the gym turned into a pokestop and our gym defender pokemon are still there defending. Can we kindly have our defenders and gym back? Thank you!
Today It has changed the gym to pokestop, when another player edit the location a few two or three meters
Name: Iglesia Nuestra Señora de la Asunción
Location: 40.188672 , -3.679484
City: Valdemoro
Country: Spain
Please Niantic, We want to get the gym again, please fix this error
Knowing this bug was reported months ago, Niantic is still allowing the system to sync approved gym location edits and these end up being downgraded to simple pokestops if they move to a location that has too many Gyms in that C14.
Today we lost due to this bug a 3 year old gym, and it was even GYM EX.
This made me sad, really sad, this is now the 7th or 8th gym we lose.
I'm saving EVERY GYM SCREENSHOT as a proof of the gym downgraded being a gym before.
I will demand that Niantic restores every gym downgraded due to this bug when they finally fix it.
We spent days nominating pokestops and editing, for many many months and now the system is ruining our hard work.
Its not fair!
This is not a bug. It is intentional to discourage location edit abuse where nominators intentionally mislocate Wayspots from the physical location of the object in order to create an artificial gym, then move the Wayspot back to the object in a "corrective" edit.
7th or 8th ?
How much did you abuse the location edits?
