Dear Niantic Support Team, I am writing to respectfully appeal the suspension of my account MC0204/Emcee020420 under the email add I received notice that my account was flagged for a “malicious image submission” or “abuse” related to a recent Wayspot/photo contribution. I would like to clarify tha…

You can’t generalize that type of advice based on your assumption that people may not know what they are doing. Penalties don’t happen out of the blue. A warning is meant to remind you to be careful about your contributions, not stop them.

You are right that I cannot generalize my advice to everyone, but by the same logic, you cannot generalize that everyone ‘should’ keep submitting either. Each player must weigh the risks and make their own decision based on how much they value their account. A warning is a serious matter, and for s…

I feel like the conservation is getting derailed but I want to put some “hot-take” insight in here. Reading both side statement and I believe both can stand true: Read the criteria more carefully. Yes a warning is not the end of the world, we have some person in this forum who are still continui…

Right now, I already decided I’m closing my door for nominations and submissions. It is not helpful in my case, risking an account that I’ve invested a lot already, money, time and effort, will be gone because of this submission. At first, it was exciting but warning and suspension have been impost…

[image] MC0204: Suggestion: Niantic should look on or ponder on suspension for wayfarer not on the game (pokemon go). let us play, suspend the submission not the excitement. The trouble with doing this is that people likely wouldn’t pay as much attention to what they’d done wrong if it only a…

OP, you are under no obligation to tell anyone your age. Matter of fact, it’s probably best you refrain from divulging any type of personal information here.

[image] MC0204: Suggestion: Niantic should look on or ponder on suspension for wayfarer not on the game (pokemon go). let us play, suspend the submission not the excitement. Nobody is breaking the rules to get a waypoint on Wayfarer, they are breaking the rules to get a waypoint in to the Gam…

This is very true but this game we invested heavily needs resources that wayspots provide unfortunately this system i think is being ABUSED by someone in our local group i have reported this group of people several times and Niantic or Scopely seems to be deaf on my complain on this groul acting lik…
