It should not be reconsidered. Unfortunately, this was a deliberate attempt to mis-locate something in order to drop it into an empty cell. An existing POI “Centro de Meditacion …” is blocking where the fountain actually is.
That the POI doesn’t even look legitimate doesn’t help, but isn’t the cause of the suspension
@proxies83 I understand the desire to add pokestops to empty cells, but if something isn’t where you want it to be, it just isn’t suitable. Not everything can be a pokestop/gym and not every cell has something valid.
Sorry, I think it was a machine translation error from Japanese.
What I meant to say was “The team has not determined that just one mistake was intentional. They are probably checking multiple cases”. But looking at this one case alone I would judge it to be intentional. Obviously the position is different, and it is aimed at the very edge of the line.
This statement is a mild exaggeration. I have contributed nearly 2000 and others have contributed more. I haven’t had a single suspension because, even though some submissions get rejected because they just aren’t good enough, they’re all legitimate.
I would disagree. Adding to what @salixsorbus said, I don’t think you have been suspended. You have shared screenshots from the contribution management page of Wayfarer. I don’t think you would have access to it if you were suspended. It’s probably just a warning. Don’t violate Wayfarer policies and you have nothing to worry.
When nominating or moving a Point of Interest the pin must be placed on the object. If you are placing the pin somewhere that isn’t attached to the Point of Interest then it can, and most likely will, be seen as you lying about its location. Which is abuse.
1st strike (account warning notice) doesnt restrict access to pogo and wayfarer. Its just pop up warning everytime you login.I believe its for educational purpose
2nd strike (account suspension notice) in abuse ladder system will give you 30days suspension. You cant access pogo and wayfarer for 30days
3rd strike 3months
4th strike 10years
Note that depend on severity of abuse, it might jump to higher lvl of suspension
Not usually but can get banned. Also, not every second strike is a suspension. It depends on the abuse committed. But, I agree it’s important to be careful now.
I think it’s essential to clarify the context here. There’s a distinction between a legitimate mistake and an error in judgment. If it was an honest mistake, then that’s one thing; however, if it was done intentionally, that falls more under an error in judgment.
One could argue that if they were ignorant of the rules, it could be considered an honest mistake, but I would counter that they should have known the rules before participating.
In my opinion a location “error” that positions a wayspot in an empty cell where the correct location would be in an occupied cell will always be dealt with more harshly.
Another opinion is that I have never seen evidence that 1 “error” is going to be treated harshly.
I see a 1 day “warning” to be fair if this is an accurate assumption.
“Review circle participation” will be assessed on multiple occurrences. Voting the same as some others once is not a Review Circle. If you are repeatedly doing it then it is.
Going back to the OP, lets assume that it was the one and only time it had happened then a “warning” is appropriate to let them know it isn’t tolerated and if they continue to do the same then a more severe punishment will be levied.
