Why am I warned with this? All my submissions are authentic, photos are taken by myself and the nominations are on the exact spot. I was wondering what triggered such warning. I have already nominated so many wayspots however, it’s the first time I got a warning.
Contact the support team to try and get more details.
Hello and welcome,
Unfortunately, us Wayfarers aren’t given info on why users may get a warning, other than the info that is in the Niantic terms of service and the Wayfarer abuse ladder policy. Even something like using multiple devices in different locations could get you a warning.
Keep in mind that they also list the Player Guidelines, and these could be for any of the Niantic games, i.e. PoGo, Ingress, Peridot, etc. It’s possible that it may not be Wayfarer related, but since you do contribute to Wayfarer, it’s more of a generic response.
Here are the links to the Wayfarer abuse ladder policy, the Niantic terms of service, as well as the Niantic player guidelines. As mentioned before, feel free to use the Appeal option if you believe you should not have been warned.
@NianticAaron Are you able to confirm if this warning is Wayfarer related, or at least send the OP a DM?
well, what’s in the mail they’ve sent you?
Didn’t even realized that’s a screenshot from Wayfarer website, not the email.
There was no email. I tried asking them too. But again they don’t respond.
Hi and welcome to the community forum!
I noticed you first reached out to a different support team, and they’ve now forwarded your ticket to the appropriate team. They’ll respond to your inquiry as soon as possible. If you don’t hear back, feel free to tag me here. Thanks again for your patience!
I have responded to your appeal with all relevant details. Please review at your convenience. Thanks,
Maybe should have tagged @Lusamine2024 instead of me. I haven’t received any warning.
Thanks for pointing that out. I have made amends.
Hello sir @NianticAaron can I discuss with you through email something. Should I reply to the previous mail or send a new one?
If you know of another Wayfarer who is committing any form of abuse, you can report them anonymously here:
It’s also best to reply to any email or DM that you may have received instead of posting abot this in the forum; the forums can easily be found via a web search online, so not 100% anonymous.
Sorry, I’m completely new here. So I don’t understand much. But he’s a spoofer who got his 30 day ban already so he has no choice but to stop but now that he’s playing legitimately, he’s messing up the community in many ways like that. Both of us are actively contributing and since I already got 8 nominations approved, he feels that I’m his rival so he also reviews and when he saw my nominations he probably tagged my nominations on the queue as fake.
Anyway I edited my post. I hope I could get a hold of the admin and discuss this.
Again, please use the link to report abuse anonymously. And as noted, you were responded to with more info, so it’s best to respond back to how you were responded to, not directly in the forums.
Okay because I think the email was closed and marked solve so I went here to ask the admin again. Sorry again
The emails can be replied to. I think they may have said that they have closed the appeal, but you should still be able to reply back.
Hello
It’s ok, we were all new once.
If Aaron responded with a DM previously (it’s a little hard to tell ) then please do just reply.
If they didn’t they will see your tag this time and may respond.
If people want to have a DM because they are concerned that they may doxx themselves it’s ok to request one.
Hey,
I have responded to your open ticket. If you reply to my message should you need any further information.
Thanks,
