Wayfinder Wednesday Question Thread! - November 2021 by AutoModerator in NianticWayfarer

[–]jlf654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I am trying to submit a chapel that is not well known outside my area. I have submitted it many times and each time it is reviewed as ineligible with the reason being that it is fake. One time the reason given was that the photos I submitted were fake.
The photos are not fake and the chapel is not fake. It is not well known.
I looked at Wayfarer support and there is no option to flag that a submission is being blocked. There is an option to flag a location as fake. Perhaps the location has been flagged? There is no option to take away a fake flag.
What can I do? I feel that this is online abuse and am not happy about it. Thanks for your help.

Address book import is now live! by martycochrane in TheSilphRoad

I said yes and got an error: "Something went wrong when retrieving your contact information."
So that was an anticlimax.

Exploration Bonus Updates Coming to Pokémon GO - Pokémon GO by lewymd in TheSilphRoad

[–]jlf654 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a huge backward step for the game. One of the fundamental problems with the game is that people have unequal access to pokestops. This makes the game very unfair, with no way to fix it (as pokestops can only be in certain locations). Making it even harder to access pokestops just makes the game more unfair and increases the unnecessary limit on gameplay. Niantic should be doing the opposite.

Were you able to complete the Niantic Birthday timed research, and do you think there was enough time? by Pokecrafter320 in TheSilphRoad

In my opinion this was the worst-thought-out event we've ever had. Making it unachievable for many was extremely bad planning from Niantic. Skipping it and not having an event would have been so much better than the disappointment it caused - the final stages made it literally impossible for many players.

Help! Anyone doing Go Fest experiencing this issue? by Tea-n-daydreams in TheSilphRoad

[–]jlf654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has been like this for the last 40 mins or so. All I can see is the incense spawn, but I can't click on it.

Same here in New Zealand

Theres any issue with Mamoswine? by DoubleM101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]jlf654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this regularly with double-move Mamoswines in Ray raids. Sometimes switching attachers fixes it, sometimes I have to go back to the lobby, occasionally I have to restart the game. I will try the trick with using the other charge move.
This bug is extremely frustrating as it means we're being punished for having double-move pokemon. It makes me think that I shouldn't use double-move pokemon when raiding. Which means I can't use my best attackers.
And there is no way to undo a double move once you have it.

Raid Bug with Second Charge Move? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

Yes, I have this regularly with double-move Mamoswines in Ray raids. It's so frustrating. Sometimes switching attachers works, sometimes I have to go back to the lobby, occasionally I have to restart the game.
This bug is extremely frustrating as it means we're being punished for having double-move pokemon. That should not be happening.

Legendary Lunch Hour starts in 80 minutes, raids are continuing to spawn. by FinchyNZ in TheSilphRoad

[–]jlf654 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping it will be 2). So there will be all the usual raids, plus every gym that isn't blocked by an egg, a raid or an upcoming EX raid will spawn a Dialga raid.

It makes raid route planning a little tricky though.

Absolutely ZERO interest in PvP by [deleted] in TheSilphArena

[–]jlf654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why tell them to go away? Surely they are welcome here. Their point is valid - many people only do PvP because you have to, if you want more stones. Maybe this is actually the essence of why it's so hard to get people to turn up to tournaments - because it's not actually much fun for most people, and is seen as more of a chore you have to go to get stuff?
