Hello everyone. I would like to raise the issue of a certain person deliberately ruining entertainment for people from all over Poland. Let me describe the situation from the beginning because it is important for understanding the subject. I will not give the nickname of this person publicly, those who know the subject will know who I am talking about. If Niantic is interested in the matter, I will give the nickname. … It started with the fact that no one wanted to add this person to the national Discord group. The reason why no one wanted this person was using FLY GPS. Unfortunately, this person could not come to terms with this and decided to take revenge on the entire Polish community. If you do not add this person to your friends, they will start doing everything so that you do not have Pokestops in your area. If a POI is located on the border of S2 level 17 cells, they will deliberately move this object to an occupied cell so that this POI disappears. We, as the Polish community, have had enough of this person. Honestly, I no longer want to play because I have no way to get items because this person removed half of the POI that I had in the area. I ask on behalf of the entire Polish community for Niantic to deal with this matter. Unfortunately, this person has a lot of accounts so it will be hard to track down which account the transfers were made from. I think that ambassadors, especially from the south of Poland, could confirm what this person is doing.
@NianticModGA please look into this. This person is abusing the shift system to intentionally make POIs disappear from the map.
If you want to report, this Possible abuse, there is a report abuse link at the top of the page that you can use to submit the report.
Please note, though, it would be hard for one person to make a lot of location edits, just to manipulate the game board. Location edits are submitted, then reviewed for accuracy. It’s possible that sometimes these get through in error, but it’s hard to believe that there would be a lot of location edits made that move something from a correct location to an incorrect location.
If way spots are being moved from an incorrect location to a correct location then that’s appropriate and a completely different story.
The worst thing is that it is hard to prove that this person is faking, because in most cases it looks like this: when the POI is on the border of the S2 level 17 cell, it moves by this meter and already changes the square. In both cases, the POI location is correct, so it is somewhat of an abuse. The less correct ones are also deliberately moved, but in my opinion it is within the limits of reason.
He has a lot of accounts from what the Polish community said. If you don’t want to add him to your friends, he probably adds you from an account under a different nickname and that’s how he finds out where you live and destroys your city/village
If you add him to your friends, if he doesn’t like something, he will destroy your village/city anyway, so there is no good solution here. From what I learned from reading other people’s statements, he was also kicked out for reprehensible behavior, blackmailing people from the local Discord at the same time when the administration did not want to add him to the national group
I hope that Niantic will finally take care of this because this situation has been going on for 4 years and for 1.5 years they have been removing people’s Pokestops
