Wayspot Report Appeal - Torii Gate Plaque

[ScrawnyMeowth1]

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

• Wayspot Title: Torii Gate Plaque
• Location (lat/lon): 46.3100210, -119.3629210
• City: West Richland, WA
• Country: USA
• Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information):
  
  
• Additional Information (if any):
  This Wayspot is clearly on the grounds of a private single-family residence. This can be double-checked using the county GIS map here: ArcGIS Web Application

This Wayspot was unfortunately approved during the U.S. portion of the Wayfarer Challenge last year, by foreign reviewers who didn’t understand that it was at a house. I hope it is easy to see that it is on the grounds of a private residence. I can find further proof if necessary.

It seems very clear from Google Maps that this is a single-family residence, but how could you possibly know who approved it? It’s probably better to not speculate as to how the POI got approved because I doubt any of us could know that.

Thanks for the appeal, @ScrawnyMeowth1. After reviewing the additional evidence, we’ve decided to retire the Wayspot.

The ArcGIS link doesn’t even take you to the right coordinates…
Please review additional evidence.

If this is the gate in question, this is clearly part of the SFPRP property and the removal was correct.

Please see this clarification if you have any doubt that the removal was the correct thing to do.

@NianticTintino

Single-family private residential properties (SFPRP), farms, and K-12 (schools or facilities primarily focused for persons under 18 years of age) are ineligible. This includes the outer facing facade, fence of these locations, and property boundaries.

Wayfarer is agnostic to individual games, and faction wars drama is not tolerated here. The OP did the right thing to report this ineligible location. As will most of the folks here on the forum.

[StrayCat01]

The gate is not the Wayspot. The plaque on City Property is the Wayspot.

[Elomeno]

It’s not the gate that is in question.
If it’s a question of faction war drama, then that’s on OP.
We play with integrity and want a fun play experience for all.
