Reference Removal Appeal

This POI was restored by NIA just 7 days ago. It’s now the 6th time it has been removed.
I would ask NIA to restore the POI and to look in to what player are reporting it as this is an obvious abuse of the wayfarer system

Yeah, at 6 times it’s time to start banning people. Or at least educate the Niantic employee that keeps approving the removal requests.

This is getting beyond ridiculous… Some are obviously having a laugh and it’s about time Niantic looks into WHO is doing the reporting and take measures to make sure their wayfarer privileges are revoked. This is now the sixth time this portal is removed from the grid and last time, it was reinstalled after appeal in this very forum just a week ago!

Cant wait :crazy_face:

Here we go… It has been removed again! Niantic needs to look into this now once and for all and take measures against obvious abusers. This portal is VALID, it meets the CRITERIA, it has been approved now seven times and yet somehow it gets removed as many times.

This is insane! NIA you need to protect this portal. I can scan it I can make a 365 upload if needed but now we are on like the 7 time of removal this is embarrassing for you as company!

@grisatassen now that it is restored, u should make abuse report. I have seen case where niantic probably tired and just not restore it after several restore-remove war.

I’ve escalated this to the relevant team(s) on their behalf for further action.

Sorry to hear that. Is it removed in Ingress or Pokémon GO?

Edit: I assume you’re referring to Ingress but I need to ask this for confirmation.

Hi.

Sorry i was not clear at that part. Didn’t think about the database split. It’s Ingress.

Did u report for abuse? Now that ingress have split with pogo, i dont think wayfarer staff can do anything about ingress wayspot. You need to appeal from recon. But its not up yet

If you are asking for pogo , wayfarer might be able to look into it. But it will only appear in pogo.
