When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:
@Mulligan welcome to the forum! If you are appealing a rejected removal report, this is where you can give more evidence to the team that the object does not exist. It isn’t obvious just looking at satellite view:
Can you take location tagged photos of where it is pinned to show the team?
The location is inside the Sunday School building. There are a number of classrooms within a few feet of that pin. Which walls should I take pictures of and how do I maintain the privacy of the children’s names on all the artwork all around the rooms? How would you know that I just didn’t take a picture of the wall that held that image?
Take a look at the other portal images on the Church property. Note how they all include some sort of identifiable items aside from the actual portal item. It is possible to place them in 3-dimensional space. This image has none of that. So even if I take a photo of every wall in the building, it is still possible that a person who has never been in the building could suggest that I lied and skipped a wall or cropped a photo to ignore the image.
I can get photos at some point but I seriously don’t know how this would convince anyone.
I made a suggestion based on what has helped me get things removed. If not possible for this situation, I will leave this for Niantic to tell you what evidence they will need. I hope you are successful.
Thanks for the appeal, @Mulligan. Due to insufficient evidence, we’re unable to take action on the Wayspot in question. If you have additional evidence to share like photospheres/ geotagged images, please submit a new appeal with additional information and we’ll take another look.
