Hello,
I’ve been trying to report a POI since july. It’s a fake location POI - chapel marked at the entry to the apartment block, while the actual location is a single building about 100m away.
In july I tried to report it by using the in-game option ,edit location”, but it won’t allow me to move the pin this far away- after certain distance it just kept bouncing back. I suggested a new location as close to the actual one as I could, but it got rejected two times.
Recently some of my pokestop proposals have been approved and… it triggered this fake pokestop to become a gym. Obviously I wanted to report it again. This time I tried by selecting ,report gym issue” > ,location does not exist” as I didn’t find anything better, but I don’t get any answer.
After reporting it by a form on niantic.helpshift.com (with a reason ,It’s on private property” as I didn’t find anything better), I got a response saying that I have to be ,the President of the Homeowner’s Association or a senior executive of the property management company” in order to report it.
I don’t know what else I can do. The location was faked by someone who wanted to have a home-pokestop (and kept bragging about it at the local meet-up), now they have a homegym and getting it removed seems impossible. It makes me really upset.
