Accurate photos/description, neighbor placed location behind his house so he can always reach it

General Discussion
1

Pretty upset that someone put a pokestop right behind his house so he could swipe and lure it all the time. The photos and description are accurate but it’s just 100 feet away from the actual location. We’ve reported it and Wayfinder folks or admins are rejecting the report. How do I appeal this and move forward? It’s VERY easily verifiable on Google Maps and street view that it’s in the wrong place.

Slight mod edit about relative location

Welcome to the forum.

It looks to me like they have rejected your report for removal but have moved the sign? I see Windsor Neighborhood Sign at 40.302986,-111.745086 now which is still not correct according to street view.

Hi,

The report is rejected every time because you reported it for removal instead for the location being corrected.

Posting here on the forum or within the help chat will solve your case

The coordinates you gave here seem to be the correct ones.

Inserting my standard statement that I do not believe these meet any criteria and should not have been accepted.

There is another sign there. But it seems blurred

I tried looking around the blur and don’t see a sign there.

Looks like someone got confused and moved it to the wrong corner of that crossroads. It’s definitely wrong, although better than it was.

This is from few years back. Its not windsor. I think OP can try edit location again

There is one where the wayspot has been put:

However, it is unlikely to be the same residence name and the background is different.

Anyhow, staff often make the correction from posts here. In the future, or if they don’t, you can use help chat to correct locations. Go to https://wayfarer.scopely.com/new/help and a chat box will pop up. Tap it to make the request.

A human member of the team will reply in the box after they have had a chance to evaluate your request. They take your email as verification, but they do not send an email.

[Something weird happened with this post that made it a reply to @TjoeMi and bookmarked this topic. Maybe I should avoid the forum today.]

This one matches the wayspot photo as I show here. If y’all are going to keep the wayspot, this is where the sign in the photo exists.

While they are in the neighborhood fixing things, this one is also misplaced. It is pinned in someone’s front yard, but actually should be in their back yard.

Bridgeport Neighborhood Entrance 40.299820,-111.743877
should be at 40.299939,-111.744088

Thanks all! Didn’t expect to get this many replies so quickly. I tried reporting incorrect location but the app only let me put the pin 10 ft away. Definitely want to keep the stop as it’s a common one in my neighborhood.

Yes the app is restricted to try to prevent edit abuse. Anything greater than 10m has to go through staff. They can also do other location edits that you can’t do in game, say for wayspots that aren’t live game locations or that you are too far away from.

Thanks @cyndiepooh , really appreciate that. I submitted through there. TIL the little agent chat box is actually useful for once on a website.
