Wayspot Appeals

Hi Niantic

we have a small community here in a small village near Randers Denmark

we had a small talk and i was chosen to ask you way it was removed.

many here like pokemon and a few ingress as well there is several ways to take a walk and many take you pass this stop

it was called En Sten Med Træ symbol it was made by a women living in the house nearby but sadly passed away last year.

well that was baggrund, it was removed the other day for as I see it no reason there is perfectly sidewalks along the road, not pavement thou but sidewalks so perfectly safe to walk by

so this stop/stone is both a memory of her and forfill the rules to be a pokestop and good for our small community for the games you provide
so please reinstall this stop

Thanks in advance from me and the small community here

The street view is grainy, but is this not on someone’s private driveway?

Definitely looks like it. The portal address shows this house on Google.

The Wayspot looks to be on that property when zoomed out.

Edit: doesn’t look like the driveway for a house, more like an alley or something like that. But the stone looks to be on that property regardless.

Edit: nevermind, it looks like it is the driveway for a house behind the one at the listed address

Moved to Wayspot Appeals . I would suggest reading the feedback that’s been given above @Heldiros7 . If that is correct, wayspots on single-family private residential property are unlikely to come back.

cheers for the comments, but It more like the distinguish between houses and there´s a small walk path up the driveway leading to another part of the naborhood where both people walk and animals like deer passthou the area.
so it would still be realy great if you can reinstall this stop to our small community
cheers and have a nice day

Thanks for the appeal, @Heldiros7 . We have taken another look but stand by our decision to retire the Wayspot.

The complete lack of context on why a given decision was made causes frustration for the community and fails to educate people.

In this case, you could have added something like “because per the rejection criteria single-family private residential property is ineligible (though we don’t word it very well there).”

Relying on the community to explain why you have made or will make a given decision allows false statements to proliferate as users guess at prior decisions and treat them as new criteria statements not made or clarified elsewhere.
