Invalid Wayspot(s) report

General Discussion

Today I found a wayspot that to my eyes doesn’t meet the criteria to be part of the database.
The wayspot is named: Área de descanso - Torre2

As you can see in the wayspot photo that i’m showing below, it is the waiting lobby from a building, with non permanent furniture. This is not a place for exploring or a place that has any cultural value, you can also see that there’s a person in the photo, is that even allowed?

I’m pretty sure if these kind of wayspots were allowed, every single building lobby could be a wayspot and we would have waaay more POIs on the network.

I’m asking you to please remove this as it is pure abuse.

And since we’re here I noticed there’s another wayspot close to the one i’m reporting that I’d like for you to review as it doesn’t seem to meet the criteria either.

It’s P14 Stone Monoliths and as you can see in this street view it’s just a simple concrete cube with no remarkable features, it has 0 value and does not meet any of the 3 criteria listed on 1st point on the wayfarer page (not a place for exploring, not a place for excercise, not a place for socializing) and it’s not even identificable or distinctive. Please consider removing it as it is a very low quality wayspot in my opinion, just look at the main photo:
stone
it’s even worse. Is that the quality of wayspots we want to have on the network?

Removal requests need to be done in game. If rejected, you can come and appeal those decisions in the appeals section of the forum following the outlined procedure.

None of the motives on the app suit the reason i’m reporting these, it’s not private property, it’s not a school, it has pedestrian access, they do not interfere with emergency services, they haven’t been removed. No reason matches the purpose of this report.

These are wayspots that should’ve not being accepted yet abusers keep approving these wayspots with their multiple accounts.

If you’re reporting through Pokémon Go, then Abusive Content is one of the listed reasons you can report something for, and you can even add a note to your report.

If you are using Ingress instead, then they haven’t updated the reporting list. You may be able to use the abuse reporting form that is linked to at the top of the forum.

I don’t think Niantic will remove this. Some people can socialize there, even if everyone can’t. The bar for removal is very high.
