@NianticAaron if you can help out would be really appreciated sir
Hello and welcome @Slicksick4i20
Can you provide a little more information please.
You should have received 3 emails. What sort of sanction have you had.
Have you followed the appeal route as described in the emails?
That is the first step to follow and to provide evidence.
So the image I have recently uploaded on my last post was the email that I have received that I have got a ban for 30 days for misplacement of a way stop and as per guidelines we are allowed to drag a waystop for about 10m which unfortunately did and which I have sent a appeal for stating the misunderstanding because I didn’t drag it way more than 10m that’s is the reason why I am requesting for help and support as It would really hurt to get a long term 30 days ban for a rookie mistake like this the waystop in question exist and is also available on google maps
Where did you see this incorrect guideline? It needs to be addressed.

I too would like to see this guideline.

Do you mean you tried to edit a location by more than 10m in game? And therefore moved it from an incorrect location to another incorrect location that was a bit closer, but couldn’t do the full edit?

Oh! you mean the game will let you do that, not that it says anywhere that this is allowed.

Feels like a super easy thing to get wrong and be punished for.
If the game only lets you move it by 10 metres and the true edit needs to be 25 metres, its logical to do a 10m edit and think you can revisit to do another edit later. After all, you might feel that better is better!
Of course people who frequent the forum know we shouldn’t do that, but the game doesnt tell you not to! So to me this kind of mistake is very understandable. There could be a popup when trying to do a longer edit telling the person to use help chat for example

Its really sad, and Im sorry this happened to you
With any location edit, its much safer to use the wayfarer help chat on their website because you can supply evidence including photos and links, and request that they make the move for you. This protects your account since youre not the one doing the move and you get to explain what you’re doing too and supply proof
Did you appeal?
It is very odd for them to give you a 30 day ban for a single mistake that could be explained. If there is more to the story and you accept the 30 day ban, then you don’t need to share the rest. But if this is the situation that @frealafgb laid out for one mistake you didn’t notice had happened, you should appeal. If you have appealed and still need to talk to staff directly, you should remove the solution checkmark and see if Aaron will contact you directly.

Its good that you now realise what has happened ( not understanding what you might have done wrong is not a good situation) and can now see that you should have acted differently.
I think the best thing is to now learn from the mistake so you don’t do it again, and if you are in contact with others do make them aware.
