Huge cluster of Pokestops spotted
Location: -6.134693,106.813258
City: Jakarta
Country: Indonesia
Just passing by this location.
You can see that there is a huge cluster consisting of about 50 Pokestops and Gyms in the area. This location is known as Kawasan Wisata Kota Tua, one of main tourists destination of Jakarta. It has mostly everything—historical buildings built since Dutch Colonialism era, museums that show historical artifacts, statues and other installments on the main area (the square) , etc. You can find more informations about this location in Google, so I won't explain the details too much.
Before the pandemic, I've passed that place many times, and only visiting this place to play PoGO once (that's during Treecko Community Day), hence some of the Pokestops there I've spinned once. There was less Pokestops before, but it looks like local players were abusing location edits back then (before it was restricted) to let Ingress-only portals in that area turned into Pokestops, resulting what you see today. All those Pokestops are valid by their own (except most of them are actually misplaced but I don't have enough time to check them all).
Please take a look at this, and adjust all the Wayspots in the entire area. Thank you!

Thanks for flagging, @patsufredo-PGO! I've escalated your report internally for review. We will follow-up as soon as we have more information to share.
Can I get an answer? It's 2 weeks already.
I apologize for the delay! I have already flagged your report with our team and I didn't hear from them yet regarding this. Rest assured, I will follow-up with them again and get back to you ASAP.
We’ve reviewed the Wayspots and taken appropriate action as per our policies. Any incorrect changes to the Wayspots have been reversed. We have also taken action against three Wayfinders. While we are unable to discuss our actions in detail to protect the submitter’s privacy, they may include, but are not limited to, sending a warning message, placing restrictions on their Wayfarer, Pokémon GO, or Ingress account, putting their account on probation, or placing a temporary or permanent suspension on their Wayfarer, Pokémon GO or Ingress account. Thanks!
For the first time, I saw the mods telling the number of Wayfinders involved who got actioned by Niantic.
Anyway thank you, I'll go check that location once again if possible.
@patsufredo-PGO I think it's good that you keep the database tidy and stop the people who abuse the system! Please keep it up and don't let it get you down. You are right! Keep it up!
Eight people who commented above ( @deznald-PGO @baebaerene-PGO @adien16-ING @GMahardika-PGO @dhelinstincts-ING @JoArTan-ING @VulanSss-PGO and @Joe180592-PGO ) mostly with hate comments should be punished, probably they are abusers that were talking about. @NianticGiffard wrote that three people will be taken action against. I think at least some of people I have mentioned above should be punished too.
innocent before proven. don't judge /assume without proper evidence. where is the evidence that they are abusers? do you think about the possibility that they are just customer not the maker?
for me, you do the same think.. hate speech without evidence
You are abusing the system not me
You are insulting not me
You are raiding people who are right with ,,disagrees''
You are the bad, you are not the poor here, you are organisation of oppressors here.
We don't know who abused the system. They can also be normal players who benefitted from these abusively added PokeStops.
Maybe not all of them were abusing, but they have benefited from it long time and didn't report it and when someone does right thing they send hate speech. That is really bad too.
I don't even know your language I use translator. You (I mean all of you abusers) are type of person to steal something and then complain about someone reporting it to police. You are the absolute worst part of society.
You are the kids. Kids who are angry when someone takes away toy they had broken. Kids who cry for no reason and say at another person words that meaning of they don't know.
@NianticGiffard I feel the conversation between members of the community have become toxic on this discussion. I would like to suggest that this discussion be locked from new comments and the discussion be submitted for review to any Niantic team community moderators to decide if any action should be taken.
People who use here hate speech should be punished
Niantic can you take another look on this submission @NianticGiffard @NianticAtlas @NianticKK
What's this? A group of new users (or maybe one user with mutiple accounts) trying to **** people who reported a clear case of Wayfarer abuse? @NianticCasey-ING or @NianticGiffard, perhaps this should be looked into since this is a clear violation of the Community Guidelines.
drama nya rame amat.
jadi netizen dulu ah.
Hahaha... That's so poor of you.
You said you use Translator?
I don't even said hate speech. And you judging 8 people, you don't even understand the language.
I'm pity for your anger.
I speak english. So you can stop pretending using translator. That can't translate those 8 people u judge.
I hope God bless you and you stop hatred against someone you don't know.
So why did you use bahasa indonesia then on English forum? If someone Is writing something that after translation for forums main languige is hate speech it's hate speech. And can you finally stop irritating every normal person who reads this with your pointless words.
00KiubaNo12, you are not judge or God. You have no right to judge people without evidence.. Do you understand about "Innocence before proven" ?
Guys, just stop talking with KiubaNo..
"orang waras ngalah"..
I use google translator, translator that I think most people on this forum use and its translation as evidence. If you write in your home language you must think that other people with translate it. Maybe if you have written also on English translation close to your bahasa indonesia version people would understand it better. Or maybe just write in English like 90% people here do. And if you are so smart translate every bahasa indonesia comment in this discussion and describe how there is no hate speech. Or just don't do anything and everybody will judge it will translators. Take your all indonesian friends away and let niantic or people without biased view on this subject judge this wayspot eligibility. Your hate speech does not help you it makes it worse for you. You're all acting like you are stuck in homo erectus stage of human evolution.
Hi everyone! We always do appreciate a healthy discussion on our forums and judging by some of the comments here, I have decided to close the thread.
Secondly, we are strictly against Wayfarer's abuses and will continue taking action against accounts found responsible during our investigation. Last but not the least, I am much grateful to every user in our forum who flags such abuse reports to us. Thank you!
