I was wondering if there is a way to get in touch with a Wayfarer Ambassador for my area (Northern Indiana). I recently got a warning on my account for trying to edit a location in my area to move it back to where it should be. We had someone edit a bunch of locations around here to be accessible by car instead of on foot. I had taken a break from submissions, but with the weather warning up, I decided to get back out there.
I noticed two edits I made came back as abuse, and yesterday morning I received a warning in game (PoGO) and on Wayfarer. I’ve submitted an appeal, but I’m trying to talk to someone about what steps that can be taken to prevent people from pushing an agenda and remove said warning. The appeal form on Niantic doesn’t allow uploads to showcase the issue properly and I’m just getting botted responses.
Hello and welcome,
Ambos are not staff, they are volunteers that assist with Wayfarer, so they have no knowledge when it comes to why someone received a warning or ban. The appeal you submitted does go to human staff to be looked into further, and whenever you do reply back to an email, you get a bot response noting that your email has been received.
Staff do monitor the forums, so they may send you a DM to provide more info.

I also recommend in the future, if you do notice abuse, to report it to Wayfarer at the link below:
If staff see there is abuse going on, they can correct the Wayspots themselves.
We can still assist with our knowledge and it doesn’t matter that much to be local. I’ll start a dm with you where you can share more details with me
Yeah, I’ve been in contact with a few ambassadors, I was hoping to show what happened to someone in my area. I’ve managed to talk to another ambassador in another area, and I was told by them that I should try to talk to the one in Indiana. They mentioned this is the best place to ask.
If these aren’t botted responses, they’re definitely canned copy/paste responses. I would prefer a more human response.
Thank you, let me gather everything.
Ambos are from all over the world, and I don’t know if there is one for Indiana specifically. Keep in mind that PoGo community ambos aren’t always a part of the Wayfarer ambo program; some of the ambos in Wayfarer are Ingress-only players, for example.
Hello and. welcome
I am going to move this to the general area as that is more appropriate.
