For context, I have a prior strike back then for making submission using googled images (my fault, but honest mistake as I genuinely didn’t know it was against TOS). Today, my wayfarer account has been banned for 30 days after receiving a second strike for (misplacing waypoint). I submitted an appeal and offered to send videos and pictures to prove the pin submission was not misplaced, as the location is not visible on google maps. I then received a generic email saying they concluded that
I violated the rule.
Anybody has any experience on this? I feel like I should be given a chance to at least prove or make a case that the waypoint nomination is not misplaced
We have seen some of these bans be overturned when evidence is presented. @TrungLatias is one I can think of who posted a video here to prove the location and got the punishment overturned.
The generic email is one that was produced after a real person looked a your case, so you did get the chance to make a case that the waypoint nomination is not misplaced.
If you want to post the details here, you can get community advice for this wayspot. You would definitely need to include the wayspot coordinates, which are found in the initial wayspot receipt email underneath the photos, looking something like 36.34432, -2.27346
Thanks for sharing. One of the admins reached out in DMs, I offered to send a video from the street view until the waypoint but they said they have conclusive evidence that my pin is wrong. I asked again about providing a video but based on their reply it doesn’t seem like it would help. As someone with a ‘great’ rating in wayfinder and has helped added multiple spots for my local community, ngl this one hurts a bit more than I expected it to Oh well, it is what it is. I’m taking this as a sign to quit wayfarer
I placed this pin at the coordinates you gave. I can see why they believe this was misplaced. If you can take a video that includes both the thing you submitted and references that can be confirmed on street view, then you should.
This very much appears to be a case of trying to pin something away from where it actually is in order to put it in an empty cell.
I so appreciate staff allowing us to explain about the S2 cells to help with frustration, but I do try to warn that they will not tolerate misusing that information.
While I do use s2 cell guide, I do not purposely move pins. I walk into the cell area and find a waypoint to be nominated there. I believe this waypoint is hidden from the google street view, and is not the same gazebo that is marked in your screenshot.
Oh well, it is what it is. I’m taking this as a sign to quit wayfarer
