Wayspot Appeals
1

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

  • Wayspot Title: IGLESIA CRISTIANA CASA DE DIOS
  • Location (lat/lon): -14.116514,-75.715944
  • City: Ica
  • Country: Ica
  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information):
  • Additional Information (if any): Hello, this portal or Wayspot had been serving its purpose for a long time, contributing to the city’s community, but it was removed with bad intentions (due to third-party threats of making false reports). It was originally approved in Ingress when it was linked with Pokémon Go. Now, for any inquiries of this kind, everything is handled through Wayfarer.

I would really appreciate your support in restoring the Wayspot as it was so we can continue playing peacefully.

Thank you!

Welcome to the forum @Ainoa0797

Any player abuse should be reported either to help chat Niantic Wayfarer or with the form linked at the top here. If you don’t see that link in the format you are using, here it is:Reporting Abuse in Wayfarer — Wayfarer Help Center

For your request for reinstatement, you should provide evidence that the Wayspot still exists where you say it does. The team does not remove Wayspots without some evidence that they should be removed.

There is also the possibility that the church asked for the Wayspot to be removed. Only staff will be able to tell you that.

Good luck with your appeal!

I noticed that the church label is different on Google Maps

You may need to address this. Is the label wrong, has the church changed its name, or has a new congregation taken over at this building?

Niantic has been very firm that repurposing a Wayspot that has changed is not allowed.

Hello, It’s the same church, but on Google Maps, they have given it a more generalized name. It is still the same place. Since it’s a public label, they usually use the most generalized and standard name. The PokéStop provides the specific name it has.

There is only one church; there isn’t another one. The location may vary slightly due to the approximation from where it was originally submitted.

I hope this information helps. Thank you!

Thank you for explaining that! I hope it helps the staff be able to honor your request.

Thanks for the appeal, @Ainoa0797. We have taken another look but stand by our decision to retire this Wayspot.
