Wayspot removed after around 7 years

Hey, my Wayspot “Park Fontäne” got removed out of nowhere earlier this year, I’m now deciding to make this thread here to see if any Niantic employee can look at it and can give me the reasons for it.

I have no clue what might be the reason behind it, because its located in our park which is open 24/7.

(I know this photo is not the best but it was one of my first submissions, and no way they remove it because of that photo)

Hello @Lexfour

Unfortunately aerators such as these are not eligible as they do not have safe access. Please see below for clarification:

But it was in all of the Niantic games for 7 years, they decided to remove it after that long time? Doesn’t really makes sense to me sadly

The length of time that an incorrectly accepted nomination exists in the database for does not change the fact that it was incorrectly accepted. Someone must’ve noticed it and reported it for removal.

It looks like a lovely area. You may be able to add other stops. Are their designated walking paths or hiking trails? Maybe a boat dock?

Sure it is, but no sadly not. Not in the park atleast.. Theres this nice fountain:

But it is in the same cell with another wayspot, it would need like a 5m location move for it to appear in every game, but I guess Niantic won’t do it and it would count as abuse :frowning: (if someone would move it to “51.442093, 11.789932” it would still perfectly match the location but well I think that will count as abuse.

Thats why its so sad that the fountain got removed

Right, moving an already correct pin can be seen as abuse, so I would not try that. What are all these white shapes I see here?

Oh thats nothing special, just some temporary stuff, used for weddings etc.
