Concerning Your Wayfarer Submission

Hi,
Hi, I received a warning about a policy violation: ‘Reviewers Influencing’. After submitting some PokéStop nominations, I was surprised to see this. What exactly does ‘reviewers influencing’ mean? Are you assuming that I tried to convince someone to review my nominations in a certain way? I honestly don’t understand what I did wrong — I haven’t done anything inappropriate. I’m just worried about my account, and now I’m afraid to submit any new PokéStop nominations

Moreover, I’d like to ask for clarification regarding my account. I currently have three warnings (in the past I wasn’t always a 100% honest player), but for over a year now I’ve been playing fairly and really enjoying the game. I also make YouTube videos about Pokémon GO here in Poland. My question is: if my account already has three warnings, and I receive one more — for example, related to PokéStop nominations — could this result in an instant permanent ban?

That depends on how long ago that warning. Assuming you got 1 day warning, it seems you are at strike 1.

Abuse ladder system.
1day>30days>90days>10years

But that’s something different, strikes that I got from spoffing was something like that:


It is possible that strike just expired? Or this one is something new, coming from Wayfarer?


This for 1 day warning.



This is for 30days suspension.

Is it different from yours?

I think ban from wayfarer and pogo spoofing have its own route. You cant mix those 3 warning

I got something like u sent right now “Account suspension notice”. But I still do not know why did I get this strike, I want to add more pokestops in the future but I’m also afraid of my account becuase of youtube channel.

30days account suspension notice? You should get email on which wayspot cause that suspension. If you are comfortable you can share that nomination so we can have a look. Ban is not publicly discussed so you can also wait for staff to come and DM yiu

Did you get a different email referring to a specific wayspot? That will usually give a clue.

Yes


It is enough for you to look into?

They are cancelling all my nominations becuase “The submisison title or description was not relevant to the location” Just why?

Only Wayfarer staff can access people’s nominations, but if you want us to venture some guesses as community members then please share a screenshot of this whole nomination. (including supporting information and all photos - feel free to react location if uncomfortable)

Please share the entire thing.

Its standar procedure to reject all pending nomination if abuse is detected

Anyway, did you take the picture online somewhere? Or did you upload the picture before and use it in this nomination?

It’s been commented by staff a few times that action on other nominations happens when something is rejected for abuse.

That, and you are only given one example of content that broke guidelines - it doesn’t follow that other content wasn’t found to break guidelines. Basically you don’t know if you are being warned for one nomination or for 10 or for 100, because the warning email can only include a single example.

If you really believe you got suspension by mistake and you are comfortable with sharing, you can share the rest of your nomination. That way we might be able to comment which part cause suspension. After that you can appeal in the email sent to you or you can wait for staff to DM you. Ur call

No I didn’t upload

There is everything, from this one I got “Policy Violated: Reviewers influencing” :frowning:


Hmm that might me, but its a little weird that I can get banned in game for saying “please add”…

Well thats barely anything to comment. Literally “Please add”. I think its too harsh if you got suspension because of that.

The location is mostly covered by tree. I cant comment much.

Moving forward. You need to appeal in the link inside email
