Wayspot Removals Issue

Hello Explorers,

Earlier this week, we fixed an issue with our Removals process where some Wayspot removal requests, both new and old, were not reflected on the game maps. However, after implementing the fix, we learned from the community that it significantly impacted game maps just before major game events. To ensure the best event experience, we are collaborating with the game teams to revert this change for the duration of the event. We plan a smoother rollout in the near future. Please note that these Wayspot removals are appropriately requested and their upcoming removal is not a bug.

Thank you for your reports, patience, and understanding as we work towards a solution that benefits everyone.

Thanks for the update! There have been significant changes in our area, and we have new representatives of the company who are interested in revoking the old requests. What’s the best way to proceed with that?

Hi @Thanda
Welcome to the forum :hugs:
You can give them the following link to proceed:

It’s good that you’ve identified and fixed an issue, and that you’re letting players enjoy the wayspots for the upcoming event, but I’m now curious about something, and because I know you can’t share specific details about these requests, I’m not sure if you’ll be able to answer it in even the vaguest way that you could do so. That won’t stop me from trying though haha.

I’m curious whether any of the removal requests that were not successfully actioned when they should’ve been were then requested on additional occasions? Again, I expect no specifics because I know you can’t give them, but a simple yes or no without any further elaboration couldn’t hurt, right? I’m only asking because it does make you wonder if anyone who complained about these being a nuisance ended up having cause to complain again, or whether they assumed the problem had been dealt with and players have still been using these locations with no further complaints against them.

Again, I’m not expecting much out of this, but you can’t blame me for being curious!

Thanks so much! This same form would be used to rescind a previous request?

My local community now has no safe area for pokestops. Super upsetting.

Again, this is a known issue. It’s possible that you will get some of your Wayspots back after this is resolved.
