Let me take you back to just over a month ago, when I made this topic.
I wanted countless trail markers of five different varieties restored. @NianticAaron in this reply said that they restored the markers that are part of a named trail. Out of the five different kinds of trail markers I brought up in that topic, they restored two.
All of these:
And all of these:
Clearly this is an obvious sign that these two types of trail markers are considered “worthy” enough to be placed in the wayspot database. Why else would @NianticAaron restore them?
So I decided to go follow bits of the cycling trail Rondje Eindhoven at a time (as it’s a pretty long trail to follow in one go) and submit every as-of-yet unsubmitted marker sign I encountered. This resulted in FORTY-SEVEN submissions so far, and all of them were approved by the AI within a day of being submitted (except for one which the AI skipped over for some weird reason).
So consider me surprised when I’m in my local Pokemon Go Discord server and see this:
Countless of the new Rondje Eindhoven signs I submitted recently have been removed.
So, @NianticAaron, what’s up with that? Did you not restore dozens of these wayspots just over a month ago? Why are they being removed again? Did something make them ineligible between June 11th and today?
Clearly this is a massive screw-up and all of these wayspots need to be restored. @NianticAaron had dozens of these restored just over a month ago, so these new ones I submitted are just as eligible as those and would need to be restored as well.
And CLEARLY whoever is responsible for getting these new ones removed needs to be punished. Last I checked, getting eligible wayspots removed is downright abuse of the Wayfarer system.
So here’s a list of the wayspots that were removed and need to be restored. All of them share a city and a country, so I will only be listing those once.

If any more of them are removed in the future, I will be back for them. But hopefully, Niantic will properly punish the people responsible for this atrocity so this doesn’t happen again.
