Systematic and abusive removal of a legitimate portal

I appreciate that you recognize and acknowledge that I am looking for clarification.

In order to become a Wayspot, any nomination needs to be found to meet at least one acceptance criterion without being encumbered by any of the rejection criteria.

This one was accepted seven times. Something happened that reversed that decision each time.

Now, the question seems to be about the next plot over.

I wonder why this cross now requires proof of a second public access-way, in light of how Niantic previously stood by a decision to preserve a billboard as a Wayspot, when it had no public access at all.

Hi, saturnie. Reading your story, I am highly impressed by your courage and remarkable perseverance. We met the same situation here, some portals in my area removed and appeals again and again. After reporting the problem on wayspot community, has this situation improved now?

Hello, thanks for your nice comment. The wayspost has been restored on Wayfarer, now we are waiting for it to appear on the map, and quite eager to know if it will stick this time !

OK so… problem not solved, unfortunately :roll_eyes:
We thought we were “back in business” this morning when the portal appeared on the map, but it disappeared again this evening from Wayfarer…
@NianticAaron can you do something about it ?

And is it possible to know who keeps reporting this legit portal again and again, and do something about it too ?
It really looks like an abuse of the report system. In that case, it is clearly unsportsmanlike behavior, intended solely to cause harm.

Totally incredible. Never ending story. Please niantic do something. There’s a glitch in the matrix.

The wayspot is back on Wayfarer this morning, thanks to Wayfarer support.

Is it possible to make sure it stays that way, this time ?

Hello there, long time no see… Did you miss the calvary drama?
The wayspot has been removed again!

My guess is that the possibility of removal had been blocked for a month, and now the “removator” has struck again.
Oh, and yes, the portal had reached level 8.

So, I’ll ask again:

  1. Please restore the wayspot (permanently).
  2. Please take action against this toxic player behavior.

Never ending story. Niantic should know who report this portal and take actions again this bad behavior. Please let us know.

Unbelievable.

And it’s back!
This probably means the wayspot had already been restored when I wrote my last post.

What a fun game!

It’s sad that people actually go out of their way to report things are legitimate, and what’s even more sad is that niantic keeps removing them without any proof… they nuked whole villages in my country just because of a spoofer with lots of accounts reporting everything without even being on the actual location, and niantic just sees the report and says delete….
