I received a warning for making an edit to a pokestop that moved 10 meters in reality. I sent the google map image that shows the park sign moved but they are accusing me of moving it to a location it isn’t. Anyone one is actually here can see the change. Many park signs are being replaced in the ar…

I responded to their email with GPS coordinates and Google maps images but they gave the same response saying they investigated. If they had they would see the change to the location. It’s very frustrating because they just slap a warning on me without investigating.

Where do you go to file an appeal? I haven’t been able to find any way to rectify this.

You get two appeals, each with a 20 day timer. If you have an appeal available, it will show on your contributions page.

I’m not trying to pull a fast one and do something that’s not actually in its proper place but I have no way to show them since I sent images and gps pins from google maps. I think if I’m going to get threats for making changes that are there then it’s not worth using wayfarer anymore. [IMG_2828] …

[image] cyndiepooh: post. Yes sorry I just found this forum yesterday. Was trying to understand where to go to get help with this situation.

I hate these emails. I have received them myself. I have been personally assured by Niantic staff that this is not a strike against my account. I saw on the other post that you followed up the email with an email of your own, which is what I would have recommended. They are just using a template whe…

OH you mean appeal the warning? This was not a warning. This was an “educational email.”
