Thank you for your transparent account.
We are all capable of making mistakes, the most important thing is that you learn from them, which is clearly what you have done.
And I hope this will help others avoid this mistake.

Hi!
I never had any issues regarding nominations. Last time, I nominated a pokestop was in early 2021. Now, the problem is recently I received a permanent ban for no specific reason. I did not get 1st or 2nd strike but direct 3rd strike and when I try to sign in Niantic account, it’s showing I’m banned for 10 years.
I tried appealing for sometime now but receiving a same lame response.
Could you suggest me what went wrong and if there is a fix.
Thank you

Hey, if your last ever contribution via Wayfarer (nominations, Title, Description, Location edits) really was in 2021 then this penalty to your account was not given by Wayfarer, as the abuse ladder says stuff that was longer than 1 year ago will not be punished:

You can also check, if Wayfarer penalizes you, you are supposed to receive a set of Emails with some info and an example of the offense.

If you had no contribution in the mentioned timeframe and no set of emails, it’s safe to say you have not been penalized by Wayfarer, and that would mean that the staff here can not help you as they can not make the decision over penalties dealt by a different department.

Are you sure you are not submitting via the Pokémon GO objection form. If it is due to a Wayfarer violation, you must submit an appeal via the “Submit a suspension appeal” button at the bottom of the page “Wayfarer Abuse Enforcement Ladder Policy — Wayfarer Help Center” shown by @kawin240. Because the department that decided the punishment is the Wayfarer team.

Also keep in mind actions arent only for submitting, they can be for reviewing as well.

I see that your suspension has nothing to do with Wayfarer. Please appeal your punishment with the Pokémon GO team.
