niantic suspended my account for 30 days because i apparently misplaced the pin when submitting a pokéstop. i didn’t intentionally submit anything where the pin and the object were far apart. i also suggested a graffiti spot that was somehow considered offensive? i really don’t see what’s wrong with…

is this supposed to be a joke? you suspend my account for no reason just because i accidentally slipped with my finger. i would understand if i manipulated my location or something, but because of this? what about my pass that i paid for with my hard-earned money? :slight_smile:

Please do remain respectful. You have reached out here. The Wayfarer Team has responded asking for specific points so that they can assist. That there is a consequence in your gaming account is not something to be addressed here. They can only clarify matters regarding Wayfarer. Please bear that …

[image] NokyRed: you suspend my account for no reason We have shared the exact reason in the email you have received. Submitting Wayspots at incorrect location to manipulate the gameboard is considered abuse.

and i’m saying it was not my intention. this will definitely be the last time i spend money on you. i can’t even finish my pass anymore. why would i intentionally abuse the system? i would rather have pokéstops that are too far removed taken down. if you had checked my previous emails, you would kno…

why should i stay respectful when i’m only getting copy-paste messages? no solutions or anything else are being offered to me. i’m not being heard here, even though i invested money.

Out of curiosity, if you didn’t mean to submit the wayspot in the wrong place, why didn’t you withdraw it before it went into voting?

I submitted many nominations that day, and I must have made a mistake without realizing it until I was banned. That is the only plausible explanation. I definitely didn’t do it on purpose – after all, my place of residence is 10 kilometers away from the park in question. I neither gained an advanta…

I dint agree with that, assuming a misplaced.pin is to manipulate the gameboard, ive done that by accident a few times, either due ti the map being difficult to judge (tree lines, shadows) or getting mixed up or even just somwtimes it moves after i let go oof the screen. Seems a massive over reactio…

You can appeal. If you are not trying to missplace wayspot for game purpose you can show it to wayfarer team. Have you ever used 3rd party image in any of your submission? Or maybe u put your nomination photo in website? I see malicious image submission in the email
