First time in 10 years I've received this Account Warning Notice

So i started my journey on 7/7/2016 and have loved the game and played honestly ever since. I play modestly here and there, but I’ve recently got back into it with remote raids and the newer features and campfire app to meet up in my rural area.

I recently for the first time tried to make my first pokestop in my neighborhood since i leave off a somewhat busy highway leading towards a reservoir. I tried and failed. Appealed, took different photos and Niantic just doesn’t want to add it, which is fine, but we randomly have a powerspot?

Anyway, now this morning i have the notice for violating guidelines? I read the guidelines and they are so vague, they cover everything from hate speech to cheating. None of which i have participated in ever.

How can i get this issue resolved? I know it’s just a warning, but no email was sent with an explanation? I don’t understand what policies I have violated or am i just being paranoid? I just don’t want my account to be banned or hacked.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Have a wonderful Friday! And be safe out there trainers!

Welcome to the forum, and I am sorry it is under these circumstances.

If this warning is from Wayfarer, you should have received emails explaining the infraction. Often staff here will start a DM with you directly to explain.

Pinging @TjoeMi for examples of what to look for.

Thank you, i received the notification only on my POGO app when i opened it this morning. Everytime i open the app, it appears and i have to click the OK button to clear the notification before playing.

That was at 6 am PST. still no email or anything from Niantic however..

But i will reach out to your contact that you attached to see if they can help! Thank you again!

Thx. You are free to post the example yourself. I have no issue.

1 day warning should look like this. Try to check all email that you have that might link to niantic /wayfarer/pogo. The email will show which nomination trigger the suspension and link to appeal it.

This is intended behaviour. Its called 1 day warning. Please be aware that next strike might be 30days suspension(or more depending on severity) to wayfarer and pogo

Try to find the email 1st. Its weekend so staff might not respond fast. If you cant find the email, staff usually will initiate DM after they come here.

You can read more about abuse ladder system here.

Thank you, i appreciate the information! I’ll keep an eye out for the email and any DM from Niantic staff as well.

If you log on with Facebook then its probably using whichever email is linked to Facebook. Also check your spam filter.

Hi @comicgoon ,

Welcome to the Wayfarer Community Forum. I have sent the relevant details. Please check my DM.
