Ich finde das System auch komplett verwirrend. Um das zu verstehen muss man mit der Community interagieren, aber wenn man es nicht versteht riskiert man strikes.
Ja das habe ich auch gemacht. Es ist wirklich aber sehr frustrierend. Weil man spielt schon so lange. Ich gehe und ich sehe etwas was ich für ein guten Spot empfinde, und reiche es ein. Mehr nicht. Wie gesagt als ein Verstoß wäre es wenn ich es im Nachbardorf platziert hätte. Aber bis zu 50 m sollte man schon von der Community her Toleranz geben. GPS oder auch weil man weitergeht….etc
Aber ich denke mir einfach wow 10 Jahre und man könnte wegen 10 Meter den spielaccount verbannt werden. 
You weren’t banned. You got a low-level warning.
No.

I know. I have understand it.
There is no reason to misplace the pin apart from trying to game the system.
If nominating via PoGo then it gets you to the location, you can tweak to make it accurate. Once posted you have the option to confirm in your contributions and Withdraw if a mistake has happened.
Mistake can happen and if that was a couple of metres then I would understand but 50m!!! that would only be used to place in an empty cell or to place where it is more beneficial to you (where you could reach from home etc).
Ähm 
did you have read the above?
Really i Never put the Pin. Ist in that Location but left side may 10 oe 15 meters away.
Im Not living there 
. My god we are going outside playing while Child is playing im the Park. Just See a „Maybe“ wayspot, which they refused 2 weeks ago. Today i got warning. But i don’t understand it.
Thats All. Loved to Play that Game but now im so abused.
When i’m at home my location is commonly off by ~200m. For whatever reason my Wifi thinks i’m 200m away when i’m just one room over. Disabling Wifi helps a bit, but for whatever reason ym phone turns it back on by itself.
So no, 50m is not a lot.
Remember, GPS uses clocks to measure your location. Up to 3 satellites broadcast their time, and your device calculates how long it took the signal by calculating your current time minus each time from the satellite. If the Phone’s time is off by only a fraction of a second, that decreases accuracy by quite a bit.
Me too. When we are sharing pokemons, sometimes it tells me im too far from the other Person. Im right beside him.
50m is a very large location error. The person submitting the wayspot is supposed to check the location, and is extremely unlikely to get it wrong by 50m and legitimately think that is the right location.

That comment does not make sense. It can not be AT the location and 10 / 15 metres away.
I didn’t say you was, I was saying that is what it would be used for if your idea to introduce a 50m rule was implemented.
No abuse intended, only advice.
You can then manually adjust the pin.
It is a massive difference in Wayfarer and rightly Rejected and Warnings given. A second person comes along and nominates as they don’t notice its already on the map as its 50m away. Should they be punished?
Minimum of 3 for an accurate location. More will give extremely accurate location.
This is not Wayfarer related but my only suggestion is to make sure you are outside using GPS. The wifi / Data will make no difference to location…
Should the Wayspot be accepted? No. Should the person get a warning that may lead to a ban? Also no imho. A notification with less harsh words is justified and all that is needed.
Also, you can have 10 GPS satellites, if your phone’s time is off, that does not help a lot. Your phone’s time is used in every single one of these calculations, so all of them are off by similar amounts.
As for my wifi, i think its because there is a thin wall between me and the access point. The data signal i get is perfectly fine tho, so no real reason to fix it.
Fortunately, your GPS inaccuracy while at home has absolutely nothing to do with where you locate wayspot submissions, so is irrelevant to the suggestion you make of a 50m leniency.
This is what the OP got. A 24 hour warning. No restrictions on either Wayfarer or games.
Lets take it to extremes, say the OP continues and does this again a 1000 times. Should he still just get a “friendly” warning a thousand times when they are obviously ignoring them?
Mobile and GPS technology has improved immensely so personally I don’t think what you describe is even an issue.
Even then, in wayfarer this is not an issue. GPS only gets you to where you are when you are nominating which is unlikely to be on top of the POI (wherever you took the last picture etc) so you then need to adjust the location to make it accurate.
If nominating at home it is unlikely that is where you are going to be nominating so GPS is not an issue. Again the phone should put you in the area of your location, it is then down to you to Pin the POI correctly.
Changing the manual time on your mobile phone generally does not affect GPS accuracy. GPS receivers calculate position based on highly precise atomic clock signals directly from satellites, not the time set on your phone’s user interface. The phone uses network time to sync, but the GPS chip calculates time itself.

Translation: When submitting the stop, the map shows up and i pressed “continue”, since it’s at my location.
So yeah, this is most likely what has happened.
Also i didnt know this was a 24h warning, i thought this was a permanent warning. 24h warning is okay imho (unless it’s like “You have submitted 2 spots incorrectly today, perma ban” when both submissions have been made before the first warning was issued… But i hope thats not the case.)
The GPS uses stable atomic clocks in satellites in its calculations, the time on your device is completely irrelevant.

OP did state “for a day”. It is also the only sanction on the abuse ladder that doesn’t restrict access.
That is correct which why this “warning” was correct to inform them that they need to alter there process.
If I visit somewhere in the car to nominate something I may return to the car to complete the nomination. The GPS is only going to get me to the car park, I would then adjust to the accurate location.
“However, at a minimum, four satellites must be in view of the receiver for it to compute four unknown quantities (three position coordinates and the deviation of its own clock from satellite time).” - Wikipedia
My guess is that Smartphones are fine with using only 3 Satellites, since for every “normal” application that just increases when the application can be used. Like it does not matter that much if google maps is off by 50m when you are under a tree or whatever, the directions it gives you are still usually correct.
“At any given time, you can typically see between 6 and 11 GPS satellites from any location on Earth. While a minimum of 4 satellites is required for a 3D position fix (latitude, longitude, and altitude), the full constellation ensures that at least 4 to 6 are always in direct line-of-sight.”
For “land based” it can get away with 3 as it can ignore altitude as the software can assume you are not airborne.
