Yes I got one for ‘Malicious location edit’, which is related to topic this topic: Unable to report wrong location - Bug Reports & Technical Support - Niantic Wayfarer Community (did not know about the limitation, and PoGo app allowed me to submit one wayspot edit with distance above that limit).
I already made appeal, but is that mean I just need to re-submit them or I need to wait for the appeal response?
I assume you got 1 day warning? Did you move wayspot to incorrect location because you want to make it into pokestop?
You can appeal or resubmit those rejected nomination but make sure you pin those nomination in the correct location. You dont want end up getting another strike so soon
If all this is incorrect and wayfarer wrongly strike you, you can appeal in the link inside email
Please be advised that next strike might be 30 days suspension. You wont be able to access pogo and wayfarer for 30days. Depending on severity you might even got higher punishment
Yea, i got 1 day warning.
I wanted to move wayspot for playground (other one,not the one in my submission) from the middle od the sidewalk next to the playground to the gateway to that place. I reported it via edit in PokemonGo, but the location pin was snapping back to the origin location. Once the pin was set in the spot I submitted the change - but later on I checked the submission and the location wasn’t quite good so I withdrawn it and tried again. I spent around 15-20 mins to set it up as the marker was returning to it’s origin location, and finally somehow it stayed in the area I was aiming for (closed enough at least). On next days I tried to do the same in other location (there was a lot new constructions in last years so some wayspots are in wrong locations - I guess that’s the reason, or someone submitted them wrongly), but had a the same problem with moving pin - so I raised a bug mentioned above, as I wasn’t aware of the 10m limitation for the location edit.
So, I had more submissions, and because of whatever happened with this location edit that was marked as “Malicious location edit” they just rejected those two as well?
I do not want to get 30 day suspension due to some glitch/bug with submission process.
If that the case I will just wait for the response on my warning appeal before I submit anything new to the Wayfarer.
You can explain all this to appeal team. Anyway moving forward, as long you dont attempt to move wayspot to incorrect position again, there will be no issue. After 1 year, all this strike will be gone.
Hi, we can’t make a suggestion on whether the submission actually contained abuse without seeing the full nomination, and here the supporting information and photo aren’t included in any of the examples. How we would further direct you would depend on that.
Please note that as said above pending nominations can also be rejected when an instance of abuse is identified - it is possible this is what happened here.
Location edits within Pokémon GO are limited to a short distance. If your suggested edit exceeds that distance you can also request the edit through the Wayfarer help chat (look for an orange bubble after going to the Help tab on the Wayfarer website).
I have added all information, you have 3 screenshots with main picture and description, supporting photo and supporting information, location screen with exact latitude and longitude.
From what I see on the timeline when I received the rejection emails it looks like it’s connected to warning I received, so I will wait for appeal to be concluded before any further action.
Thanks! This was also provided in the bug I have raised. Later on I even submitted two more changes trough Wayfarer help chat, so this is what I will be do from now onwards.

Already did, just awaiting for them to respond. And it wasn’t my intention to move this to incorrect position, in my opinion it was move to correct position, but because it was over 10m distance I should do it via help chat, not the PoGo app.
So, let’s put aside if warning was legitimate or not (appeal team to decide), I will then just wait for the Niantic support team answer if there was actually the abuse which I missed, or this is purely related to the warning I got.
I’m happy to contribute the wayfarer, but I do not want get my account suspended due to some error.
