Just got suspended for a misplacement

Can someone explain what happened? If i recall correctly (i can easily be wrong of course) i placed the wayspot in the right place if not a little far from it (not much)


Can you share with us what your nomination is, screenshots of your contribution page or submission email and the location you submitted it at (also in the email)

We can try to see what happened.

The coordinates at which you submitted the wayspot are in the submission receipt email below the photos. A screenshot of that part of the email would be best to add into this thread.

I don’t have the email anymore…so i’m cooked

Log in here instead and screenshot your nomination :yellow_heart:

You’re not cooked, it’s just the easy way for you to show anyone on this forum where you submitted the wayspot is not available.

The alternative is to screenshot the location map from your wayfarer account at Niantic Wayfarer and make sure you provide enough narrative that people can tell where this is. Example:

Hello,

A member of the wayfarer team will often send a direct message to you within the forum to give details.

You have said “right place if not a little from it ( not much)”

Does “ not much” mean not on the object and as a result possibly in another cell?

I appreciate it can be frustrating to see several wayspots not meeting the Pokémon Go selection rules. However the wayspots main function is to reflect where the object is. To move it away from that location defeats that purpose and is manipulation of the game board in favour of some players.

It was in another cell but not too far from where it actually is. But i can always have made an huge mistake

Aaron is saying that you received a direct message on this forum, not on the Wayfarer website. Look for “My messages” or an envelope graphic in the menu or in your profile.

I, in fact checked.

Please visit https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/ and check your messages there.

You honestly consider yourself fortunate. From the message you shared. This appears to be the THRID time you’ve had a warning/suspension from Niantic. Could have been much worse than a 30 day suspension. Before your suspension is over, please make sure you re-read all of the criteria and fully understand what is a good nomination. As you have seen, anyone here is winning to help you.

The first twos are on me but damn the last one is hella weird since i didn’t made it on purpose

It’s hard but once you have done this you need to be very careful with each submission.
You have 30 days to reflect on this.

If you need any advice about taking care with submissions we will be happy to help.

I am sorry but this is not excuse. Wayfarer have no way of confirming this statement either.

When i’ll have the possibility, i’ll check the submissuon and see if I submitted the wrong location (highly possible)

I had a submission mistake recently happen to me. Somehow, the pin ended up in a different spot from where I’m certain that i placed it. I had submitted a few things that day, and this was my last one. At the end of the day, i was reviewing all the work I’d done - checking for misspellings, making sure i liked the titles I’d written, and checking pin placement. That’s when i noticed the mistake. It was very easy to withdraw that poorly pinned submission.

Everyone should do a review of their submissions on the Wayfarer website to make sure what they are submitting is tidy and correct. Fix whatever you can fix and withdraw any with mistakes that you can’t fix. If you don’t have time to do a full review at the end of the day, place all your submissions on hold until you can.
