Hello, I would like to appeal the warning/ban related to the photo I uploaded. I believe there has been a misunderstanding. The photo I submitted was taken by me, and I am the rightful owner of that image. It is not a third-party image, nor was it copied from the internet or another source. I pers…

Hi @11Mau11 , after reviewing your case, we’ve decided to lift your suspension as a gesture of goodwill. Just a quick reminder for the future, please avoid using images uploaded in third-party websites since we can’t verify the source or licensing for those images. We would love to see your origina…

Did you explain all of this either in an appeal or in the DM with Aaron?

In fact, yes! I already spoke with Aron via DM, explaining this and sending him several photos of the place. The first times, I submitted an appeal by email and always received the same response: that they were third-party photos. Maybe through DM that response could change.

It sounds as though you have done what you can. They can consider the case you have made and give an outcome. At least you are now clear about the issue. I hope although you might not agree, you can see the problem from all sides. It will be very understandable if you choose to not do wayfarer at …

[image] 11Mau11: Thank you for the advice. Although it’s unfair, after this I don’t think I’ll risk proposing another PokéStop again. I’ve been playing for many years, and I don’t want to lose everything over a misunderstanding. Well you wont lose everything unless you kept getting warningin …

To finish the post: everyone who sees this, be careful when proposing PokéStops—even if the photos are yours. Don’t upload them anywhere. Despite the explanations and evidence, there was no favorable resolution, and they are simply treated as third-party photos.

Thank you for letting us know. And yes the best advice is not to post photos you might use.

I’m not an ambassador, but I do want to say something in relation to this situation in the hopes that the wayfarer team themselves see it and that some positive changes can result from it. Assuming that @11Mau11 has provided satisfactory evidence that this photo is theirs to use, I would suggest ov…

There’s a large discussion on community, already waving “don’t ever submit something on wayfarer, they will ban your pokemon go account”. NiaScopely needs to address this.

People talking ---- on reddit is not new and will never stop.

I wasn’t implying any platform.
