Hello again! I recently wrote about a problem in our city of Burgas, Bulgaria - stop signs disappear for no reason. Our community decided to make new ones instead of reporting every missing one, because there are a lot of them, and for me in particular it is easier and it is part of the game. Unfort…

Thanks for the appeal, @ofelia1313 ! We have taken another look, but stand by our decision to retire the Wayspots.

today: [6838304859739503551439501381873063213912609n] yesterday: [68083202813048753411124505053494894175499365n]

There’s a reasonable chance that some wayspots are being reported for removal because they definitely don’t meet criteria. The picture of the shop front for the animal beauty salon could fall under this. This almost certainly should not have been accepted, going just by the information presented h…

Your suggestions would almost entirely prevent the legitimate reporting of stops that were accepted in violation of the criteria, or have become improper due to real world changes. For that reason I hope they will not be put in practice. For instance, I have reported 15 stops for removal this week,…

Players cannot remove wayspots, they can only report them to Niantic. These reports are all checked by real people at Niantic, not by a bot. Niantic will not remove a wayspot just because a player reports it, but will check it against the removal criteria.

Removing wayspot is not as easy as you think. Most of wayspot removed usually shouldnt get approved in the first place. It might be falsely approved by community who prefer any wayspot or its falsely auto approved by AI. Its possible to appeal incorrectly removed wayspot though. I suggest you to pi…

If game locations have been removed, Niantic will have had a reason to remove them. Resubmitting the same location could be considered spamming ineligible nominations, and could lead to sanctions against your account. So pursuing reinstatement in this channel is the better way to address the removal…

A player who wants to make a new stop waits for a rainy and cold day so that there are no people and it is easier to take pictures, takes an umbrella and goes around the city. He finds an interesting place to stop - takes pictures, writes, searches Google for more information and submits an applicat…

[image] ofelia1313: The reporter lies on the couch, sees the new stop and decides that it is not interesting enough. A Wayspot will not be removed for “not being interesting enough” to a reporter. Niantic investigates every report.

You have no fear of ban if you done nothing wrong. If you got incorrectly suspended /warned, you can appeal it. People complaining in social media never tell whole story.

I don’t intend to write constantly and about everything, it’s a waste of time, I didn’t even understand the reason. I’ve been playing for 10 years and I’ve never even thought about doing anything wrong!
