    This Pokestop had been in game for a little longer than a week & it suddenly disappeared, any help?

Niantic hates those for some reason and will remove them on sight.

Even though a node-based cycling route network that spans multiple countries definitely seems like the peak of “exploration” and I’d want it in my database for sure.

And even though the examples of “acceptable” trail markers in the criteria clarifications are way worse than these signs.

Very strange to see them get deleted because every single pokestop around us is one of those and have been for years

Yeah it seems they’ve secretly changed the guidelines recently and are now removing a bunch of poi, especially in rural areas! I’m still waiting for clarification…

Thanks for the appeal, @boss027. We have taken another look but stand by our decision to retire this Wayspot.

Thanks for the transparency! It’s very nice that you guys take the time to explain why you remove places that seem to meet the Wayfarer guidelines especially after explanation has been requested many times! Stellar work!

This was sarcasm, in case it wasn’t obvious.

Without clarification for why certain wayspots are removed, we are unable to learn and doomed to nominate more bad wayspots. Please be more transparent.
