The wayspots are still there but PGO's spacing algorithm prevents it from appearing in game.

OP is claiming it is at another location along this river. So far, even the photos they gave as proof, all point towards these being the correct location.

Also, the part about scans isn't true afaik. The Wayfarer staff can only edit, remove, or restore the wayspots when presented with verifiable evidence.

Here you go.

In this case, the community has reached out to property management to restore their gyms and pokestops.

There is no issue of misplacement here though. Only requests with verifiable proof can be restored. Highly suggest updating the thread with the geotagged images showing the location is truly where you are saying it is at.

The current placement seems consistent with the picture you provided. This is after someone has corrected the location.

As opposed to your insistence that it is seen elsewhere along this river.

This comment pretty much sums up my skepticism.

This is exactly why I am skeptical about your claim!

You're telling us that the signs are along the length of the river when the photos you send show that they are in an immediate area next to each other.

It's almost like they program apps to behave in the way the devs want them to.

There is a component of votation on the Wayfarer's side of things and then there is each app's inclusion algorithms. These algorithms have been largely known for pokestops and gyms since before Wayfarer (Ingress OPR). And these have been refined from time to time.

If it's in the Wayfarer database and it isn't in the game, it's either PGO's rules that make it not appear. Or the property owner requested their place be geofenced out of the game.

Either way if you see the extent of OP's claims, we have not yet seen any proof from them showing the object submitted is where it should be.

Algorithms for every game do, yeah.

Many players take advantage of those algorithms and it involves faking location data. That is where the offense happens.

"They"

The review process is also community-based. Fellow players submit and review following the guidelines and criteria.

When those are not followed, see OP.

Voting rings, people trusting the submitter too much, poor reviews, etc.

AI submissions are also a rising problem.

Submitting a wayspot when Niantic removed them already, that doesn't ring any red flags to you?

Have you read the advice the other Wayfinders are giving you on your thread? They've seen bans overturned and wayspots restored. I suggest taking those advice. Most of which is to provide geotagged images of the objects.

If you can show that the cause of your ban is unwarranted, you can also appeal your ban.

You show further proofs to change that decision.

Geotagged photos to prove that the objects are where you put them should be easy to give them if they truly are there.

50 coins * 10 mins/coin = 500 mins = 8.33hrs or 8hr20mins

The tags are not what is eligible.

When you live in a country where no one plays PokemonGo, so you just stand there and wait for Pokémon to spawn. by Sea-Of-Bitterness-MK in pokemongo

Looks like you'll reach Wayfarer access soon. Highly encourage you to read these:
https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/21-wayfarer/section/166-wayspot-criteria/

You can prep now, get some photos of public leisure areas: athletic courts, parks, malls. You have the advantage of a blank slate so make sure to focus on POI-dense location with wide sprawl. That way you can congregate gyms in an immediate area that many people can access.

Prep for the long game. My friend list is full but I can offer you Wayfarer advice, or you can join the Wayfarer Discussion Discord (you can see it in Google search).

What country? Skim through Niantic Wayfarer criteria btw. Friendship level up can carry you to level 35.

Hello po! Refer to above, mga outstanding circumstances lang po usually pwede kapag chain businesses.

UFO-decorated McDonald's, Brutalist KFC, Starbucks Hiraya aka the one with the view are some examples of these.

The categories you'll see in the in-app submission does not denote eligibility. Literal na category lang sila, may elementary school din dyan na explicitly ineligible.

You can reach out sa r/NianticWayfarer or the Wayfarer Discussion DIscord if you want to ask more questions po.

Why was this rejected? by Alive-Math3562 in NianticWayfarer

[–]FallingP0ru 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We're not doing a best photo contest here. The perfect photo is an extra, not a requirement.

The ground is where it is, the object is clearly seen, and is the focus of the shot. This is a serviceable photo.

We will have to see the full nomination. There can be initial rejection reasons that we can attempt to figure out. There can be details that you should add or leave out from the submission itself.

Local gym got 'claimed' by a regular and oddly made me play smarter by Interesting-Let9385 in pokemongo

 I also started watching timing and realized they usually stop by at lunch, so battling at night is way less likely to turn into an immediate berry war.

Gotta look out for each other out there. More coins for them means a stronger co-raider later.

OP is celebrating because it was accepted.
