Wayspot "칠곡 구세군교회" I request removal

When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:

  • Wayspot Title: 칠곡 구세군교회
  • Location (lat/lon): 35.937469,128.545918
  • City: Daegu Buk-gu Gwaneumdong-ro 9-gil 10-1
  • Country: korea
  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information):
  • Additional Information (if any):

Issue 1. It deviates from the official gym creation rules.
In the 14 cells belonging to the Savior’s Church, the Pokéstops were officially deleted, so there were more than 20, but the Pokéstops created due to church relocation, inaccessible areas, and irregularities were all requested for deletion and approved, so there are now less than 20,
but there are still 3 gyms created.
Officially, there are less than 20 Pokéstops, so I request that the gym belonging to the Savior’s Church be deleted. Please review this part and create a gym in a place where users can use it more.

Issue 2. Non-religious people cannot use
The current Savior’s Church is a place that only church members can use, and non-religious people cannot use.
As a non-religious person, I do not use the church, so I request that the gym be relocated or deleted so that users who do not attend the church can also catch boss mobs.
A place where everyone can enjoy the game fairly (park or market)
Issue 3. Pedestrians can no longer safely access the location.
The Chilgok Salvation Army Church is located at an intersection.
It is a road that only allows vehicles without sidewalks, and the park next to the church is under construction as a public parking lot.
In addition, when the construction is completed, there will be more vehicle traffic due to the public parking lot, making it an inappropriate location for game users to enjoy the game.
Since it falls under the reason for deletion on your side, “Pedestrians can no longer safely access the location.”, please delete it. See Naver Street View link

Problem 4. I think it is unfair that deletion is not possible due to private property. Even though it is a PokéStop created by a Pokémon game user, or a PokéStop & Gym that is not accessible to pedestrians or non-religious people,
it is possible for it to be deleted by the person in charge/responsible person. As a Pokémon Go game user, I cannot accept it at all.
This is a PokéStop & Gym created by a user of Chilgok Salvation Army Church (35.937469, 128.545918), so please review the deletion by referring to issue 3.
I only received two replies to my email regarding the fact that PokéStops can be deleted with the approval of the person in charge/responsible person on private land.
As a game user, this is something I cannot accept, so please review the issues and respond.

It is an important issue that needs to be addressed

Hello and welcome @lloveyou60

Pokestop and gym creation is something under the control of Pokémon Go not wayfarer.

Once the 3 gyms have been created because there are 20 poke places in a S2 level 14 cell, the remain even if some other other sites are removed. So in the scenario you describe it will remain a gym. You can’t request that a different location becomes a gym.

Wayspots do not need to be accessible to everyone. The term private is not used on its own. It is single family private residential property which as it is a religious site this is not in that category. So again the fact that it is only available to a subset of people is not a reason to remove the wayspot.
It does not sound as though pedestrian access to the location is an issue as presumably the subset that can enter the site can go to the location safely. It is up to individual players to take care if they are not at the actual location but trying to reach it from a distance.

Hello, thank you for your good answer.

If the creation of Pokestops and gyms is under the control of Pokemon GO and not Wayfarer, please share where I should inquire.

I think the problem is that in order to catch the 5-stars created by the event at the gym, several users must gather together, but each player must be careful when going to that location.

Therefore, I would like to request a move to a place with a wider space where I can enjoy the game more safely.

Hi,
Just because an activity such as a raid appears at a location there is no obligation to do that activity there.
I understand the frustration if it is nearby and raids that you want to do appear there and you can’t access them, but those are not reasons to interfere with the database of wayspots.
The placement of gyms can be at any of the available wayspots, the type of spawns that appear for raids is random. These are deliberate decisions by the game developers.

You can try some Pokémon Go support services but I don’t think it will have an impact.
It would be better to accept the situation and adjust or it will continue to be a source of frustration.

Are there any nearby Level 14 cells that are not maxed out in terms of gyms?
You could look find new wayspots in those areas to create a better play board.

Thanks for the appeal, @lloveyou60 . We took another look at the Wayspot in question and decided that it does not meet our criteria for removal at this time.
