Wayfarer has inconsistent guidelines. Recently, I submitted 2 separate ineligible Wayspots for removal (one of which NEVER should have been approved in game) There is an epidemic in my playing area of people nominating statues they put on their front lawn, which somehow get approved. It’s disgustin…

[image] Zebbicat: TBD/ pending on the picture of the actual waypoint itself…and the Pokéstop. I’m not quite in that area yet, today I see that this Wayspot has been retired already based on your report.

Potentially good news (I have not seen it removed yet in person, but I am hopeful the right decision has finally been made for removal.) :crossed_fingers: [1000011641]

There is a daily sync for adding and removing wayspots which in a little less than 3 hours when I post this message. It should be removed then

Yes. When I’ve gotten waypoints added INTO the game, they typically show up between 1pm & 2:30 pm in my area. I’ve seen it happen live while I was playing! (A halo stop just suddenly appearing.)

that depends on the time they got the email… could be tomorrow.

Here’s another waypoint that I have attempted to get removed with no luck. Because this wayspot is located Inside a GATED U.S. NAVY RESERVE Military Base, I can’t even get close to within spin distance to get to the menu to report it for sensitive location (or whatever the best option is).

Being in military property is not rejection reason… a display can be in a non sensitive location. [image] Military Bases Criteria Clarification Collection Nominations of or within Military bases are generally ineligible. However, if the nomination is of a park…

Even if it’s in a gated military base with no public access?

Good point, totally forgot about the cut-off time

Yes, military bases can still have wayspots. You could get in contact with the base to get the wayspots removed if the base wants that

The Naval guñ Turret stop has been a much harder uphill battle. It’s not nearly as egregious as all of the PRP waypoints- front lawn flower gardens, painted rocks or religious statues on people’s front porch, etc.
