And what is the object that the Gym is based on?
Because this looks very much like an apartment complex to me, and unfortunately for you, if it’s in the communal areas of an apartment complex, it’s not against the rules.
It is currently located on private residential property. This situation is causing ongoing conflict, as the homeowners feel disturbed by the presence of outsiders. Furthermore, physical access to the location is impossible without trespassing, which violates Niantic’s security guidelines. I would appreciate it if the Gym could be relocated to a nearby public space or, failing that, removed to avoid further issues with the local community.
Communal areas of an apartment building are not private residential property.
No it doesn’t. The rules tell you to obey the law. If you have to trespass to get to a Gym, then that Gym is just not for you. Physical access is possible for people who live in that gated community and the people they allow in.
You can’t relocate an object to a place it’s not located at, and if it’s in a communal area, it doesn’t have to be removed.
This is not how it works. You don’t need to interact with all waypoints.
With the Co-Ords you passed earlier you could reach it from “Calle 16” but I don’t see a wayspot there.
From the wayspot I see I don’t think you can reach it but that does not break any wayfarer rules.
Sorry…
There is nothing against the rules about having a wayspot at this property.
Private property is only for a single family home.
Wayspots can exist at
- businesses where not everyone is allowed to be
- Places that you need to pay for entry (amusement parks)
- Gated communities (pools, playgrounds, picnic areas)
- Apartments or condos (pools, gyms, communal art pieces, playgrounds,…)
Just because you cannot access all wayspots does not mean they aren’t eligible and please do not trespass as you know that is against the rules
Ok, thank you. I think we can´t do anything
You can move into the gated community yourself, or make a friend who lives there and who can invite you in, but those are your only options, I’m afraid.
XD, Nobody plays pokemon go there
If nobody outside the gated community can reach it, and nobody inside the gated community plays Pokemon Go, then the gym should be empty. If there’s someone in it, then either:
1: it can be reached from outside the gated community, or
2: people inside the gated community do play Pokemon Go.
Please let the homeowners who are disturbed know that they can request that Niantic remove this game location with a property owner request. With proper credentials, Niantic will comply.
Gym is empty
So then who is disturbing the people that live there if nobody is using the Gym?
There is nothing we can do
Pretty much.
Maybe nobody plays there right now but doesn’t mean there won’t ever be.
I created lots of Wayspots at a holiday “village” a few years back on my first trip there. A plaque, a decommissioned postbox, a disused church and various other items that remained from when it used to be a school/village that people lived in the whole time.
Nobody played there. Yet now when I go back, all the gyms are full and (non-Scopely) the Portals are all deployed to. A bit of a “build it and they will come” case? So I always think when making Wayspots that someone may want to play there in future and they’ll be happy there are location that allow them to do it when they open their app.
You can now report a wayspot using the new Niantic Map that came out today
You shouldnt report eligible wayspot just because you cant access it. Other people can use it, even if there is none now, someone might in future.
