It is now located at the private residential area. Moreover, there is a dog of owner currently guarding at the area and some of the players even get bitten severely.
We canât get close the location and we do think it is truly unsafe for access into the private land.
Is it 1 single family private residential property
Or is it a small group of homes - houses or apartments- where this is in an area that is only accessible to that small group of families ( restricted access)
Can you provide a current view straight on of the plot please?
My pictures you have provided are all featuring what in the past was the adjacent property. If it remains a separate property next to the plot then that is not a reason to remove. It is up to players to consider their own safety and abide by local trespass rules.
Yes, i do agree safety is on our own responsibility. The wayspot is however become a parking lot and backyard of the resident.
And just for information, our country has slightly different rule of owning the lot. The owner of property can have a split lot under the same ownership in same area.
As shown in picture, the lots I mentioned are split by a government road for emergency usage. But the left hand side lot is belong to right hand side owner.
(This is commonly seen in Malaysia. I can provide more photo of this where different lots under same ownership.)
Letâs get back to the topic. The Shrine. The shrine (the wayspot) is initially built by the owner and we can clearly spot a clear path connected to the parking lot back then.
But sadly the owner now fenced the area now and guarded it with a dog. We do suspect he do it so to prevent outsiders and players to get close the location due to insecurity and anger.
Thatâs also a reason why our players is being scolded by the owners few days back when we get close to this area
Is the shrine for the ownerâs use only, or for residents of the area to use as well? If itâs open to other residents then it wouldnât be considered ineligible - as not all players need access to all PoIs, as long as they can be accessed on foot by people with permission to be there then thatâs enough
This area does not look rural to me - it looks very built up and has a good density of PoIs - would assume this cell contains 3 gyms?
I would simply work on submitting other PoIs and go elsewhere, or avoid the dog by raiding the gym remotely or by approaching from a different direction where the dog canât get to you.
From this side which is a year old you can still see a metal barrier and a parking area - green area itâs right next to where the shrine is and approaching and being in this area appears to be much safer than where the resident with a dog is marked with a Red Cross. Is there a reason this area is unsuitable? There is no need to stand at the shrine whilst playing the interaction distance is quite large.
In order for this to be removed you need to provide evidence of the status of this object and the lot.
Hmm.. I am not so sure what you want to define or clarify. Our city is developing but itâs not compare to larger and better city. Thatâs also why we nominate every single possible wayspot here.
While we can sympathize with making the gameboard more playable, adding descriptors that is not accurate to the area may not bode well.
Typically, high-rise buildings are not present in rural areas. We have seen people talk of âruralâ areas denoting âfewâ wayspots/pokestops which may not mirror the real world interpretation. It is better to stick to the real concepts.
I do agree your point by parking it at the accessible area. But I do think thatâs somehow off topic.
The shrine is gated and guarded, and itâs owned by a private resident.
Even we can get close by somewhere else but the object itself should be violating the guidelines of becoming an eligible wayspot (SFPRP & Safety issue), right ?
I can provide more info or evidence needed for clarification on why it should be removed. Our community would be glad of having everyone sort the things out
As you may have noticed, describing this area as rural does not help your case, because it is the complete opposite of a rural area. On the chance that this was a misunderstanding:
Busy city areas - lots of buildings of different types and usage, generally easy to find POI for wayspots
Suburban areas - mostly housing, generally dull from the perspective of finding wayspots
Rural areas - fields, scattered buildings, farms, not much to find for wayspots
Your area is not rural. It even appears to be a built up area with a good population of wayspots.
Also - not everyone has to be able to visit every pokestop and gym. If you cannot access a wayspot, you cannot access the wayspot and it if your own risk if you decide to go there anyway. The existence of a wayspot is not Niantic saying âthis place is safe and accessible for everyoneâ.
