Building Community: My Experience Creating PokéStops in a Large Workplace

Nomination Support
1

At the company where I work—a large facility where we spend most of our day—a vibrant Pokémon GO community has started to grow. Since we started with zero PokéStops, we’ve been working to gradually create them ourselves.

I recently submitted two nominations that I believed met all the necessary criteria. However, I’ve faced rejections and even policy warnings that have left me confused. My only goal is to encourage physical activity and social interaction among my colleagues, helping the game thrive in places where we spend a significant amount of time.

I’m looking for feedback to see if I’m missing any technical details or if there’s something I’m doing wrong. I don’t want to risk my account with warnings when I’m simply trying to improve the game for everyone. Has anyone else experienced similar challenges with workplace nominations?

You are not showing any policy warnings here. These are standard rejections.

If you think the community has made the wrong decision you can appeal these to Niantic.

I was doing similar to you at my workplace - I’ve had to appeal almost everything because the community reject it as private property, even though I clarify in the supplemental text that it’s a business and any of the hundreds of thousands of global employees plus their guests can access these. I think all but 1 thing was accepted on appeal, so you might find you need to do that too.
