Why does it say hate speech and discrimination or whatever

I didn’t say anything bad, i know that i made fake stops and learned my lesson, but why does it say that i’m discriminating.


The“Abuse” rejection narrative can be flagged for a nomination for any of the following reasons

* The photo is not yours (e.g., taken from streetview, found on another website)

* The text itself is abusive

* The nomination is controversial and likely to be offensive (e.g., a mural of terrorists)

* Another nomination was abusive and all of yours have been flagged as a consequence

* The wayspot location pin is misplaced

* The wayspot is deliberately misrepresented (e..g., on school property but pretending it isn’t)

* (there may be others)

You may be able to tell which of these is the issue for this submission, but don’t worry about being accused of being discriminatory, as this isn’t what this narrative is necessarily saying.

Welcome to the forum!

Staff have explained that this is the string that shows up when abuse is flagged. I hope they change that, as this abuse had nothing to do with the text.

Basically its rejection that come out when abuse is detected

I think I need to add ‘fake waypoint’ to that list of possible reasons for the abuse flag. [done]

Also, once you get flagged for abuse such as fake nomination (e.g., the statue of liberty monument), Niantic might flag and reject all of your pending nominations.

Nominating multiple fake wayspots may get you into serious trouble, warnings and/or bans. If you have other fake nominations pending or approved you may want to contact the wayfarer staff, to prevent you to get into more trouble.
