When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:
Thanks for the appeal, Wayfinder, this Wayspot doesn’t meet our requirements for removal.
You have gone to great lengths to restore this Wayspot. Are we to take this to mean that Neighborhood signs are to be accepted?
From the details @Gendgi provided, which very unambiguously show this to be located on SFPRP, it appears that neighbourhood signs on single-family private residential property are to be accepted.
I appreciate how it sounds but…..
A standard reminder that individual appeals case outcomes do not set precedence. They apply to this case only.
I am aware, just taking the statement from @cyndiepooh and adding the extra details.
Niantic have however reinstated a wayspot on SFPRP and then declined to remove it when provided with solid evidence that it is SFPRP. It’s a little strange.
(I suspect regarding neighbourhood signs that Niantic aren’t taking a position and are letting the community fight it out/decide.)
There are literally two normal neighborhood signs as pokestops near here that I took for inspiration theyve been there forever
Yes, when these started to be accepted is when we started asking for the clarification. But Niantic has ignored our requests for clarification. If you search this forum on “neighborhood signs” you will find a lot of discussion about them.
You will also find the advice to go by criteria, not by what you see in game when submitting.
I want to be 1000% (extra 0 intended) clear that I am not upset with you for submitting what you think is an easy accept. I am trying to get clarity on why these signs, which do not meet any of the eligibility criteria imo as we discussed previously, are being allowed to remain on the game board. Especially in a case like this where it is zoned as belonging to the homeowner’s property.
In this scenario, they’ve now applied this outcome on multiple cases. Multiple cases does indicate setting a precedence.
Staff has been asked further clarification.
I’d like to give them a chance to provide to this example before more community facts & speculation. General commentary not directly about this case should happen in that thread, not here.
Just wondering if you saw this county assessment for 2025 showing this zoned as R1:
Again, I must ask staff,
The maps discovered by and shared by me appear to refute the claim provided elsewhere:
I understand that it looks like it should be common property, but that’s not how the zoning maps clearly define it. Does staff believe their subjective and non-local opinion is better than these maps? If so, what can we trust to use?
Out of curiosity, I reached out to Forsyth County Geographic Information Services. I was provided the information below:
(Names redacted but would gladly share the unedited and full email chain privately with staff)
So, unless staff is indeed surveyors or have other means of identifying private residential boundaries, I’d like to know so we can clear up continued confusion on this appeal example.
Looking forward to staff answers and hope the community remains respectful so we can get answers.
