Incorrectly removed Wayspot

When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:

  • Wayspot Title: Green Ways Walkway Marker

  • Location (lat/lon): 37.850243,-85.526344

  • City: Bardstown, KY

  • Country: United States

  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information):

  • Additional Information (if any): gym was incorrectly removed from Pokémon go and ingress but still shows up on campfire. It was only in the game for a few weeks before it was removed.

Looks like it was probably accepted in error. The street view of the area that you indicated doesn’t have any sidewalks, so that means that the spot if it is in the street as it looks like doesn’t have safe pedestrian access. Otherwise it would have to be located in someone’s yard, which would make it in eligible because of single-family private residential property…

It’s a newer thing which is why I’m confused

I do think some things are accepted by the ML then when later reviewed are removed because they did not originally meet the eligibility criteria, though I think you would have gotten a message (if you submitted it). Could be that someone just reported it for removal too because of safety issues.

Gotcha. I didn’t get notified about it. It was accepted at first. Plus we aren’t a popular neighborhood. It’s out in the sticks lol.

Thanks for the appeal, @IAmSphealeorein. We have taken another look but stand by our decision to retire this Wayspot.
