They tell you to add pokestops in a specific way and when they are approved they add more conditions.
after week of anticipation for a source of chance to actually progress in the game.

i dont have lots of pokestop nearby and already took the time to research how to do it correctly.
took the time and submit lots of pokestops. when im done (and 90%~ got rejected) and finally approved the add more conditions. they are tricking you for more data in new games!
they for sure specify it somewhere in the way where it is half invisible and thats how they could blame you for it.
also when you try to contact them they:

  1. dont give you the right option to contact them.
  2. only 1 reply no mor - DONT BOTHER US!!!
  3. there is only 1 thing that happened - you! you didnt followed the rules.

so you are making their next game more easy for them that way.
the massage is - make all the effort and dont get any rewards! nice experience! i rather be hassled in real life.

dont try. play dumb.

Hello and welcome @Dudazord

Your frustration at what has happened with your effort is clear. Many of us have had experience of wayspots not appearing as hoped for - we are happy as fellow players and wayfinders to offer you support.
If you just want to vent that frustration then you need read no further. If you would like some help read on ….

It sounds as though a key issue has been that they haven’t met Pokemon Go selection rules. To be clear it isn’t about them necessarily being used in another game they may still be used in Pokémon Go as Power spots - “may” is important.

If you would be willing to share the location ( co ordinates work well) we would be happy to look at the situation.

You also mention rejected nominations. Would you be willing to share some? Again we can help establish if they are just not suitable or if they just need improving suggest how to do that.

There are people here who will also help look for other suitable things to nominate so we can try and help with that.

So if you share some details we can perhaps help with your overall goal.

You should go to the Wayfarer website to take pictures of the rejected nominations for everyone to comment on. When you post a nomination, you will receive an email notification in your inbox including your email address and the image of the nomination. Take a screenshot of it and post it here.

Hey @Dudazord ,

Welcome to the Wayfarer Community Forum. I’m sorry that you did not have a pleasant experience.

This is not true. Our support page clearly mentions that not all approved Wayspots appear in Pokémon GO. Let me explain why.

After a nomination is approved by reviewers, there is an additional automated review that determines whether the nomination is an appropriate fit for each particular Niantic game. Each game has their own set of criteria for this step, so some nominations may be accepted into one game but not another.

The most common reason that an eligible nomination is not added to Pokémon GO is because the nomination is too close to existing PokéStops or Gyms. If an existing game location is removed or the criteria changes, the nomination may appear within Pokémon GO at a later time.

Please keep in mind that while this is a common reason, it is not the only one.

There are multiple avenues to contact support including help chat and this community forum.

Help chat is designed that way. Once a resolution is provided, the request is closed. You always have the option to create a new one.

Thanks,

This is too much for just adding a pokestop at the park - which is a pretty legit thing.
love the times playing - it just made fun to no fun at all in too little of time.
again you closed this using your power and proving that the communication with you is horrible, why do i have to make so much effort every time i want to contact you? shouldn’t this be easy? why do i need to specify so much information just to do it?
too many questions to be answered… to much to have all of my time into this. hope you will see this
have a great day.

Hi,
This topic is open. And we are happy to help.
@PluGin31 has explained how to give us the the information we need to help.
Parks can be great places to find things to submit, but they often need careful planning.
And we are human not a chat bot.

This isn’t closed. I can still comment.

I recommend this topic if you are only interested in making pokestops and gyms: Why an accepted Wayspot may not be used in Pokemon Go (S2 cells and Pokemon Go)

Wayfarer does require effort. Some of us love it! If you don’t, just don’t do it.
