Appeal against the rejection of the report to the gym “Mái vòm sáu trụ”

Hello Wayfarer Team,

I would like to appeal the rejection of my report for the Gym “Mái Vòm Sáu Trụ”, submitted on October 27, 2025.

This Wayspot appears to violate Niantic’s placement rules. In the same Level 17 S2 cell, there already exists a PokéStop named “Sân chơi trẻ em”. According to Niantic’s standard rules for location distribution, only one PokéStop or Gym should appear per Level 17 cell across Niantic games.

The Gym “Mái Vòm Sáu Trụ” appeared later and overlaps with the same cell as “Sân chơi trẻ em,” creating a duplication issue in Pokémon GO.
Please review this case and consider removing the later-appearing Wayspot to maintain correct map balance and consistency with Niantic’s cell-based system.

Thank you very much for your attention and understanding.

  • Wayspot Title: Mái Vòm Sáu Trụ
  • Location: (21.018252, 105.779920)
  • City: Hanoi
  • Country: Vietnam
  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email:

If it’s not a violation, at least this Gym should be hidden from the pokemon go map

These Wayspots are in different L17 S2 cells on the Ingress map:



Unless I am not looking at the right Wayspots, there is no violation here.

Not following cell rules is not a removal reason anyway, unless Niantic recalculates cells based on abuse.

Hello and welcome @NDCuong

There is not much that can be done about your query o this forum.

The rules around what get selected and appears in Pokemon Go are the responsibility of the Pokémon Go Team rather than the Wayfarer Team. The Wayfarer Team curates the map of the wayspots it is then up to the Po Go team as to what appears and whether it is a gym or stop.

Hey so I give it a look and I am unsure if the wayspot still exist? I don’t know if the Streetview is outdated but I don’t see any Pavilion here.

Hey so by any chance did you relocate a wayspot because the location you provided seem not matched with the location of the wayspot?

the coordinates you gave do put this one in the same cell as the other if a location edit has been done. sometimes it can take a bit for the game to update.

yeah, the original location of the “Mái Vòm Sáu Trụ” gym is not true to reality, you can see in the photo on streetview, there is no Pavillion

And I assume you made the relocation? How long has it been?

about 1 week since my nomination was accepted.

Uh huh, I dont think two wayspots active in a same cell is worthy to report. But I find it weird one pokestop won’t be disappear.

I am not an expert at this stuff so someone else can fill me in on this matter.

I remember reading a comment from @NianticAaron that the Pogo map will get updated, but that it takes longer when wayspots have been moved than when wayspots have been submitted, so 1 week is not a problem. You may find it soon disappears naturally.

waiting alone is so scary … :frowning:
