When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible: Wayspot Title: Street corner at Chestnut Bend and Smoketree Lane Location (lat/lon): 42.624659,-83.905846 (previous GPS coordinates - this might not be 100% accurate since I lost the ticket inf…

Hey @Gendgi , We have looked at this Wayspot again and stand by our decision to not retire it. Thanks,

How can you say this and justify the removal of Wayspots touching SFPRP?

Where do you see this? Imports don’t really seem to meet any rules. But removal reasons exist (not simply “never met criteria,” I mean the ones mentioned in this appeal) and I would have thought would obviously extend to imports unless communicated elsewhere.

In that there don’t seem to be any.

I see it every time Niantic decline to remove imported wayspots which are located somewhere that would ineligible for user-submitted wayspots. It was meant to be a deadpan non-humorous response, but I can see how it didn’t come across that way. (I personally think the street corner imports are hor…

Every street corner Pokestop I have seen on the Wayfarer Map has been squarely on SFPRP. And we are talking hundreds, not one or two, and that is just what I have seen. I guess Scopely doesn’t care about lawsuits like Niantic did. And as far as reporting these: [image] Testing New Wayspots in Pok…

Just allowing little free libraries and other things that are on the edge of people’s yards or attached to the outside of their fences/walls would probably go a long way towards eliminating the need for these imports anyway.

you have a point. may as well allow the actual points of interest if SFPRP isn’t a concern. i would rather see those than driveway pins. [image] Testing New Wayspots in Pokémon GO Are ALL street corners now eligible? Nope! Wayspot nominations by Wayfinders still need to comply with Wayspot crite…

It’s great to see Niantic taking the correct approach towards imported wayspots, but unfortunate that they continue to improperly police wayspots that users submit which are well aligned to exploration criteria.

I think that since we’re getting more generated and low quality user-submitted wayspots, while at the same time some nominations that clearly meet the criteria are being rejected, we need a way to sacrifice bad wayspots to help better ones get accepted. I still need to think through the details, bu…

In typical consistency, this subject Wayspot has now been removed. To my understanding after a conversation on these imports, more of this type of location should be removed. @NianticAaron there are over a dozen street corner Faux-spots in this area that are clearly on “single family private reside…
