All Saints Pokestops 90% Wiped,

When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:

  • Wayspot Title: Roughly 50 POI’s
  • Location (lat/lon): 41.370645 -72.83549
  • City: North Haven, CT
  • Country: United States
  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information): N/A
  • Additional Information (if any): This public cemetery park has had its fair share of activity within Pokemon Go. Back in the early years of the game (2016-2018) a false report was made by an aggressive local player to somehow get the gyms removed from the park due to frequent issues and fighting. The pokestops and spawns remained. As of a few months ago, all but 2 of the pokestops have vanished. The site is funded by the state and doesn’t have the ability to close, and there are no trespassing laws in the area. The cemetery park is always open to any nearby residents for walking or driving. There is no “business owner” to report and remove the stops.

Please, this is one of our states best grind spots. The spawns are still there, just no stops. The stops also show up still in the submission section for wayfarer within Pokemon Go, so they’re not totally gone forever. It’s been a staple of our community for almost a decade now.

Any advice or answers from official ambassadors or Niantic personnel would be helpful. This can not be an owner request, but potentially another false report. Please help.

These Wayspots have been removed at the request of the property owner.

There will be a property manager, though, and the previous removal of gyms points to a previous request by a property manager. A player cannot make a request to prevent gyms from appearing in a location.

Is it possible to create a fake email with the name All Saints in it and request the removal like that? An email address with the property name/facility name in it is one of the ways these are “verified” right?

Credentials are thoroughly checked. @NianticAaron can speak more about how possible it would be to fake authority. I don’t see it happening.
