Was a very new Waypoint and you can see it even on google Streetview. Also removed by request If you go north on the map you will find a dozen of “Litfaßsäulen” as Waypoints. Guess which “homezone” this is :slight_smile:

The Graffiti Tunnel was a communal project where about a dozen very nice graffiti were created at a tunnel running below a railway. From all this nice artwork were two waypoints created, each showing multiple Graffitis (each on about 6 or 7). They were online for some years used in missions for Ingress and were considered as very nice kind of waypoints, showing a full set of local art. The artwork is still in place, but the portals were removed end of last year. Edit

***Mod Edit to remove accusations

For good appeals, it’s always necessary to provide proof and not just say something.

For the graffiti wall:
They were part of the Strawberry Cheesecake Jam event by Earer Parker in 2019:

Also, for any kind of request here on the Wayfarer forum, the game stuff and problems are completely irrelevant as the Wayfarer Team here has nothing to do with Ingress Missions for example.

It’s hard for non english speakers.


This are recent Waypoint pictures from today.

This garage door belongs to an three party house with multiple garages too. You can see the house on the given location and on google streetview. There you can see the front of the house with multiple mail-slots and multiple door-bells.
Also you may recognize this house as the house on google maps with the garage-door as waypoint:


And this picture shows the mailboxes and bells of the three apartments / families resident there.

About the stuff about the other players. I dont know who exactly is making the unjustified removing requests of Waypoints. So I cant report anyone by his user name. When I told this to the Ingress support, they told me to go to the wayfarer support. Just they know, who is entering this abusiv and false reports by intention and may can make this Stop.

This one looks like it is on the outward facing side of a fence for a single-family private residential property. Even if it’s approachable by a sidewalk or other walkway, it would be ineligible and would be justly removed. If you have evidence that the fence does not belong to a single-family private residential property, you should provide that.

It’s not a single family house but a three party house with three different appartments and three different families.
How should I prove this?

I am not sure, but it would help your case

Usually a supporting photo that shows multiple doorbells/mailboxes, multi-spaced parking, or multiple entrances/address numbers will help show multi-family status. One can also include a link to a rental listing, zoning criteria, media story or other external documentation in the supporting detail field.

Hi
There are different aspects here. And unless you keep them apart you will end up getting frustrated.
If you believe that someone is maliciously using wayfarer you can use
Reporting Abuse in Wayfarer — Wayfarer Help Center
To report.
When it comes to the assessment of a wayspot the actions of other people are not part of the assessment. The Wayfarer Team look at the location to see if it should be a wayspot or not based upon what it is, and where it is. And that it still exists.
So you need to present evidence to address that. And if you can show that this is split into several independent apartments that will help your case.

Thanks for this hint. I added some pictures as evidence to the upper post. :grinning:

It’s on Google-Maps too… with recent pictures.


So really… I don’t understand why it was deleted in the first place. You find everywhere evidence about that it is legit… :face_with_spiral_eyes:

BTW. it’s his Artist name is Eater Parker, not Earer.
He created the Metamorphose Graffiti as well and is a famous street artist in this area. :slight_smile:

Uh, your added photos don’t look like it’s the same location and makes the situation weird

Yeah I had a typo

The people who reported it must have mispresented it as vandalism to the staff and successfully tricked them into deleting it:

https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/t/unique-art/12459/2

The original photo in the first post is the east entrance to the underpass, whilst the new photo is the west entrance to it. That’s why they look a bit different. There is street view at both entrances.

The photos I meant weren’t the ones from the graffiti wall, but the ones that were meant to show that the painted garage is not SFPRP

May this cut out of google maps shows what I meant

I had missed you posting the mailboxes and bells, this would be enough to show me that it’s not a PRP. Good luck with your appeal!

Thanks for the appeal, @nabunaos. We have taken another look but stand by our decision to retire these Wayspots.
