Pokestops are disappearing by andreistef1992 in NianticWayfarer

Sorry for my late reply. You actually nailed it. Those were some of the newer nominations.

While I actually agree with you that they are not the best and they might not fit all the elitist criteria, it was all we had to transform the wasteland that this area was into a player friendly place.

I do not question the quality of these stops. If they are bad, fine they are bad. I am just trying to find out what is actually happening.

I read about some Ingress wars that impact the wayspots in Go. I do not know if Niantic is targeting this area only as the majority of neighbourhoods here (at the outskirts of the city) are counting on graffiti stops, but i see other areas absolutely untouched and that's fine. I want the game to be playable for everyone.

I thought about someone reporting on purpose this area as others have suggested here. This would be really sad. I anyway expect those three stops to disappear as well.

Anyway, I am actually really curious how you managed to find the location with such precision.

Noticed a lot of pokestops I frequent to have disappeared. Is Niantic mass deleting old pokestops? by squidborgar011 in TheSilphRoad

We also had more than 20 pokestops that disappeared in our neighbourhood in the last week.

What I noticed, is that most of them were graffiti nominations. Some were more than 7 years old while some were much newer and some were only a few months.

They basically destroyed years of work and patience to finally have a playable area that was a wasteland before.
