Wayspot Falsely Removed

Wayspot Title: Where the Wild Signal
Location: -27.44481,153.007588
City: Kelvin Grove
Country: Australia

Additional Information: I asked the Wayfarer help chat to delete old photos as this mural has been repainted. There was one photo which was up to date showing what the mural currently looked like as can be seen in this screenshot (photos that should have been deleted were marked with a red cross).


Evidence was also provided of the mural’s current paint job via the most recent street view imagery.

I was told this no longer met criteria, although as far as I can tell it’s fine. It’s a mural on a public utility box that on public land and is accessible 24/7. That makes it a great place to explore as it’s visually unique. There’s no school or kindergarten in the adjacent parcel of land. There are many other wayspots of these murals on utility boxes throughout the city and they are all deemed eligible by Niantic and the community alike, so not sure why this one was treated differently.

It’s OK to have pictures that are past murals in that spot. Gamers can thumbs up the current one.

I guess you need to resubmit it now.

They don’t need to resubmit. It’s most likely a misunderstanding. The utility box is now painted to look like a wooden wicker door, with some plants on the sides near the bottom, and one of the photos shows this, as does Street View.

@CowInASuit I would wait to see what staff has to say. I see that it’s had the same mural since at least July 2017 from Street View; Welcome to the forums, BTW!

Thanks for the appeal, @CowInASuit After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to restore the Wayspot in question.
