Dear Niantic Wayfarer Team, I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing to address the removal of seven Wayspots in my local area, two of which I personally nominated. These Wayspots were valid and fully compliant with Wayfarer criteria, yet they have been removed without apparent justification…

Thanks for the appeal, @Unikochi . We have taken another look but stand by our decision to retire these Wayspots.

I know this place, we got a huge and active community roaming around this is a loss for everyone… sad, I hope it’s just a temporary issue

with this message i just opened my game and noticed that FIVE pokestops (on 6 !) on my street were removed in one evening for no reason. Creating them on wayfarer took me a lot of time, I feel it sickening !

Welcome to the forum @Unikochi , @Zergovore and @shinydestiny1 Were the other five removed wayspots also graffiti? Random graffiti is often considered vandalism, and that makes it ineligible, as per this post . Niantic has been removing a lot of graffiti wayspots from the database recently.
