Abuse, ridicule or harassment?


I used a photo from my camera roll so I guess that flagged the third party since it wasn’t taken live on scene?

But what about this was abusive/ridiculous/harassment?

Just trying to get a better understanding of the kind of captions I’m supposed to be making.

Hi there! Glad you’re asking for clarification and I wish it was under better circumstances.

The text says “…contains abuse, ridicule, or harassment-” those three are independent. It might be better phrased “abuse OR ridicule OR harassment.” It is only implying abuse, there is likely no ridicule or harassment involved.

As to the third party photo, using photos you’ve taken yourself and saved to your camera role is acceptable, however it is not acceptable to use photos taken from third party sources, ie from the internet.

Hi Gendgi, thanks for the reply!

Which part do you think was considered abuse? I’m just drawing a total blank here haha.

This was found. Just trimmed and the cloud formations match. could result in a 30 day suspension.

Oh wait so is that the abuse? There are 2 bullet points and I’m trying to figure out how to resolve the second issue. I don’t want to go and take a photo and then find out I’m still abusing/ridiculing/harassing a group or person. Unless the second bullet point is just a byproduct of the photo being bad as well? Thanks!

Yes, it is an abuse. Use of a third-party photo could result in Niantic being sued by the owner of the photo for copyright royalties and compensation for unauthorized use.

I see, thanks! I guess I was just confused since the two bullet points seemed like separate issues. That helps a lot :thank_you:

The title may be edited as “Picnic & Barbeque at Country Club Plaza”, if the longshot assumption is the confusion over the acronym.

I ask because I am concerned, are there any other third party images that have been submitted and accepted for submission? If there are, you must immediately report them to the wayfarer team and apologize.

None this was my first submission ever I was just trying to understand how the system worked :+1:


I was just trying to follow the same naming scheme as the surrounding wayspots. I’ll try renaming it!

If it does follow the existing naming convention, maybe it isn’t a problem then.
