this is my first time in niantic wayfarer I wanted to nominate a pokestop./ but after listening that I would be banned for simply nominating a pokestop. I got scared and wanted to withdraw but yet I have a (upgraded next) besides the (in queue) brackets and can’t withdraw it. I really hope my first mistake would not cost my Pokemon Go account to get banned as I joined back after a long time.
You will not be banned for nominating a stop if you nominated in good faith. There would have to be massive evidence of wrong doing to merit any punishment for this.
Not being able to withdraw something marked to “Upgrade Later” is a known issue. If you do not want an upgrade to apply to this one, go to Settings and turn “Automatically apply upgrades” to OFF:
BTW, you nominate Wayspots, not Pokestops. Whether they are used in Pokemon Go is determined by L17 S2 cells.

Welcome to Wayfarer @xenon98
Nominating wayspots for the Niantic games can be very fun and rewarding. But there can be a lot to learn too. Please take some time to explore the Forum as there is great information here to make your journey easier.
If you don’t mind, can you tell us where you heard that nominating a Pokestop would get you banned? This is confusing as both Pokémon Go and Ingress, encourage experienced players to nominate!
Have fun and don’t be scared to nominate! And remember folks here are always happy to help you put nominations together.

Hello and welcome @xenon98
If you would like to share your nomination we can give advise as to what we think.
As Cyndiepooh has said it’s unlikely you have got into trouble if you have done 1 nomination there is unlikely to be a problem.

mostly youtubes that probably i missed a few details or don’t understand on what they are trying to deliver
yeah I only did 1 nomination and thanks for the advice. would love to share my nominations and have some advise from you guys before submiting it officially. <3
People that get into trouble is when they are repeatedly breaking the rules.
That doesn’t sound relevant from what you have said.
I’ll move this topic over to nomination support so we can have a good chat about helping our submissions.
If you can provide the full nomination that you submitted we can make comments. If you don’t want to say where this is that’s ok.
Welcome to the community. Please do post your nomination here. If it’s a real dangerous one, we’ll send @cyndiepooh over to sort you out. But on a serious note, you should be ok if it was done in good faith.

Hey,
Welcome to Wayfarer.
I see that the learned and ever-so-helpful members of the community have already addressed most of your concerns. At the risk of sounding repetitive, let me add my perspective as well.
There is nothing to worry as long as you follow the guidelines. Please take some time and go through the help center to understand what is eligible and what’s not.
That’s far fetched.
Glad that you wanted to make amends.
It won’t. This has not gone on your record.
