Long time ago there was some new rule about wayspots within 40 meters of PRPs. I don’t remember the details, so I googled and found this: > [@Official Historical Building Markers on private Buildings](https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/official-historical-building-markers-on-private-buildings/69139/10): > > Yes. A class action lawsuit from homeowners whose lives were disrupted because not all gamers “know how to act” (as my mother-in-law would say). They blocked driveways, kept babies awake, trampled gardens, interrupted mail delivery, and more. The lawsuit settlement includes that potential wayspots within 40m of the edge of a single family private residence will be examined to make sure it won’t cause a nuisance if a crowd gathers there. In recent years, Niantic has dropped reference to the 40m. So your question about whether it matters who placed an object is kinda irrelevant in this case. What matters is that this object (which also looks easily removable, thus making it ineligible) is located very, very close to someone’s front door. It doesn’t mean that EVERY wayspot within 40 meters of a PRP should now be removed. It just means Niantic takes a closer look at such wayspots. Also remember that residents and landlords don’t decorate their properties for gamers. They decorate them for themselves or their tenants and have no idea about Niantic and its rules, or about any other similar companies and their rules. So when you see something like this and think “Cool, new wayspot!”, just stop and think for another moment. In this particular case ask yourself this - would you want a group of people gathering right by your front door on a regular basis? --- _[View the full topic](https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/appeal-outcome-question/72768)._
