Let me know of any updates if you don’t mind. I’ve got a very similar situation and at this point expecting to get perma-banned without a valid reason at this point since Niantic isn’t stating the exact reason for the suspension. Best guess is they think I’m spoofing using some sort of modified application; however, I’ve never download any sort of tool like that before. Any inquiries I have submitted were met with just a link to tos and player guidelines. As we know the violations can range anywhere from stalking, harassment, spoofing, to a wide variety of other situations that wouldn’t apply to me. The last message Niantic sent regarding the situation flat out said future messages would be outright ignored. This situation is extremely frustrating especially since, as a community ambassador, I’m unable to host events for the local community.
Why dont u try the link i posted?
Already tried the appeal. They said inquiries would be ignored.
The possible reasons you are listing seem to be game related and not Wayfarer related. So while you haven’t done any of the above, you may have done something that is considered abusive from the Wayfarer side.
So a question to you, is your suspension from Wayfarer or from your game?
Never even got a message from Niantic until submitting the appeal, so don’t have any idea. One of my point of interest nominations had just been accepted by the community, when I tried to log into wayfarer to take a look at it, I sudden got hit that my account was suspended. No notice or notification at all.
They tend to send a couple of emails so I recommend you check your spam folder and any other email accounts you have used for Niantic. If it is a Wayfarer related warning or suspension, they will include one of the items as an example that you nominated/edited or whatever.
How long does it say your suspension is for?
30 days for the suspension, and I’ve checked all boxes in my associated account email, but 0 emails from them. Checked the spam folder as well, there is nothing from them.
I had received some sort of day in-game message a while ago in pogo for unknown reasons, but again there was no message or email regarding that incident. At the time I had ignored it as it was a day thing and I could still play, but now this is the second time this has happened and it affects my community.
Do you use PTC to login to Pokemon? I think I remember there being issues in the past with not getting emails as easily with this connection.
Without the email it is very hard to say what the issue is. The older pop up was definitely an indicator that something you had done recently was off. And something else likely happened since then. So they would look over all your nominations, edits, and reviews to confirm that you had done something worthy of a 30 day ban (assuming it was something from Wayfarer that triggered it).
My main log-in method is through Google. I might have a PTC account linked, but honestly can’t remember and can’t log in to check.
I’ve read through the tos as well as the player guidelines, but not breaking any rules.
Honestly believe these to be false flags and no one has been able to tell me otherwise as it is.
Sometimes @NianticAaron is able to see what triggered the ban and is able to reach out directly. I don’t like to go there right away but if you haven’t been doing anything weird with nominations, edits, or reviews that you can think of, he may be able to point you in the right direction.
Any help would be appreciated.
You should receive something like this… if its wayfarer issue. If not, its probably game issue

Misplacing wayspot to empty l17 cell can get your wayfarer AND pokemon go account banned as per warning ladder system
If you have a similar issue, please start a new thread explaining your issue. Maybe a mod can split your question off into a new thread so that you can get a better response from staff, as it might get lost in this thread, since the OP’s questions have been answered by staff.
