Hello Wayfarer Team,
I am requesting a review of my recent 30-day Wayfarer suspension because I strongly believe this enforcement action may have been issued incorrectly.
After previously receiving a short 24-hour suspension, I became extremely careful with every nomination I submitted. Before continuing, I reviewed the Wayfarer Criteria and Niantic Player Guidelines thoroughly to ensure my nominations followed all eligibility rules.
Since then, my submissions have mainly consisted of legitimate and accurately placed nominations such as foundation plaques, community markers, and eligible public points of interest. I made sure that:
Photos were original and accurately represented the object
Locations were placed correctly
Supporting information was truthful
Nominations followed Wayfarer eligibility criteria
I have not intentionally submitted fake, misleading, abusive, or manipulated nominations. Because of this, receiving a 30-day suspension was very surprising and concerning for me.
If any specific nomination caused a problem, I would sincerely appreciate clarification so I can understand what went wrong. However, based on my recent activity, I believe this suspension may have been triggered by a misunderstanding or an incorrect report.
I respectfully request that the Wayfarer team manually review my recent nominations and reconsider this suspension. I genuinely enjoy contributing to the Wayfarer system and want to continue participating positively within the community.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
You will have received more emails than this one, specifically one that says which wayspot caused the problem (if the suspension came from wayfarer). Please check your emails.
@TjoeMi has an image of what the various emails look like, which might help.

If you wish to share the details please do so.
There should be a link to the formal appeals process. You should complete that.
If you have further queries about the sanction then do ask here. Staff will often open a forum DM with you.
I have sent you a DM with the relevant details. Please review it.
I assume you already read your suspension email by now. You can appeal to staff. If you need help from other wayfarer regarding what to say to staff, you can share your nomination here.
Last, if you decide to serve your suspension, play safe for 1 year, because next step in abuse ladder system might be 90 days suspension. You have 1 year redemption period where all your strike will be gone and you return to clean slate.
