A waypoint, (which is a gym in Pokemon Go) in my neighbourhood has been removed yesterday, but the playground is still there. It has even been improved a couple of years a go. Since two weeks somebody is reporting or removing legit waypoint in my town Zevenbergen (Netherlands), which are gyms in Pokemon Go, trying to get a new gym or thwart other players. This is the third gym that has been removed wrongful. Can you please reverse this and try to stop this player doing that?
Welcome to the forum.
I found the coordinates for Speeltuin Pindurp at 51.640093,4.615539 if anyone want to have a look.
Niantic does not remove Wayspots without evidence. You should present evidence that this still exists where you say it does, and that the location is not ineligible.
If someone is making false reports, that is considered abuse. If a property owner has requested the removal, Niantic will have to tell you that.
Whats that red thing in your submission?
The playground seems real. You can make report of you think there is abuse ongoing.
That is a tiny playhouse with a blue roof. I think sombody is clearly abuse the system. There are many other legit waypoints in Zevenbergen which where removed in the lost two weeks. Some came back a couple of days later, but as a pokestop and not as a gym. Somebody just want to annoy other players. There are even some new (not legit) waypoint created with fake pictures. All in the same area.
You need to make report. Keep it factual and precise. Simply saying here wont get it to the staff.. you are in correct place for removal appeal but for abuse report , it need to be done separately
Are you sure its not because property owner request? Afaik, property owner can request gym to be downgraded to pokestop. If it was removed, someone need to make appeal in this forum for it to reappear.
